An Agreeable Thanksgiving Day
Holiday. was ca1ahratod in
this institution by an entertain
ment in the chapel, two hours of
relaxation in the park, a dinner of
old New England dimensions and
a special writing privilege to each
inmate.
Local talent, drilled for fort
night by Deputy Warden Glen
non, furnished the entertainment
in the chapel. This consisted of a
vaudeville performance that would
have done credit to many a pro-
vincial stage. The program in
cluded two choruses by the choir,
several songs by q colored quar-
tette, slight of hand "stunt, y
some buck and wing and clog
dances, several solos by members
of the colored quartette and a
genuine old-fashioned punch and

judy show. Every inmate Of the
prison was in attendance and the
chapel was crowded to its utmost
capacity. The concensus of opin-
ion seemed to be- that the show
was just what the doctor ordered.
The opening number on the
program was a chorus by the choir,
and then the colored quartette
awoke the slumbering ecnoes by
wishing Carrie good morning.
The soulful look in the eyes of
Mr.. Mercy as he joined his voice
in this salutation was alone worth
the price of admission, to say
nothing of the clothes and medals
worn by himself and his compan-
ions. In response to the pro-
longed applause, the quartette
rendered that classic melody
"Hambo's Shins,'' and also shook
a foot or two.
Professor Hickenbocker, the
pride of Hoboken, came next on
the program. He introduced a
few new deals and showed how
water can be turned to wine and
wine to water by simple turn of
the wrist. After the applause
subsidized Alohzo Holmes appeared
and sang solo. The balance of
the program consisted of another
number by the choir, a song by
the quartette, a second number by
Alonzo Holmes and the punch
and judy show conducted by
Prof. Hickenbocker, the pride of
Hoboken.
At the conclusion of the chapel
exercises the men marched to the
park and we're permitted to talk
with one another for two hours.
The morning was fine, and while a
light snow had fallen during the
night the weather was not too cold
to be enjoyable.
At 1870 the whistle blew and
the men adjourned to the dining
room where they discussed turkey,
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and
other good things for awhile. The
afternoon was spent in the cells.

About Jonah. gagged in digging
trenches for the new electric light
system exhumed an interesting
manuscript one day last week. The
discovery, which is written in
Hebrew characters on a roll oil
papyrus, is no less than very
ancient and detailed account OF
the story of Jonah and is by fa1
the most circumstantial account OF
the prophets life and habits that
has yet come to light. It's exact
age has not been determined, but
psychologists who have examined
it assert that it was written at
least 600 years before the Chris
tian era and probably much earlier
than that The story of the whale
incident is, in brief, as follows:
The manuscript assures us that
this story is a myth, having it's
origin in Jonah's surname
Whale-In-an in tale he was
forced to tell his wife one time
Jonah Whale-In, his name was in
full. It seems that the story was
conceived by Jonah on the spur
of the moment after he had mys-
teriously disappeared from his
usual haunts for three days. Then,
as, now, football was the popular
game in the fall of the year, and one
Sabbath afternoon Jonah, who had
played the game before he became
interested in prophecy, was re-
quested to participate in a contest
between the eleven from Nineveh
and the one composed of youths
from Tarshish. He played, SO the
manuscript says, and the next day
was SO stiff he could scarcely walk.

Upon his arrival home Mrs.
Jonah refused to speak to him.
But her mother, who had arrived
the day before, asked him few
questions regarding his absence
from her daughter. Then it was,
says the manuscript, that he told
about being in the whale. II

"but it matches my name and
