New Years Entertainment.

The New Year dawned bright
and fair and the weather was very
mild. At $50 the prisoners were
unlocked from their cells and
given their customary drill in the
open air. They were then marched
to the chapel to listen to an enter
tainment provided by outside
talent and our local band.
Warden Wolfer gave us one of
the best entertainments that has
ever been given in our chapel.
The program consisted of NOV
ing pictures, selections by the
state band, songs and Rotations.
The band was given the post Of
honor on the program and opened
the entertainment. Warden Wolfer
here introduced Mr.. Willard Platt
Hill, of Minneapolis, who played

The Prison Night School.

The following is Deputy Warden
Glennon's school report for the
month of December: Number of
sessions 10. School attendance at
opening session, 1913. Average
attendance during month, l66.
Highest attendance, ITO, and
the lowest was 161. Average
compulsory attendance, As; volun-
tary, 116. Number excused by
medical department during month,
temporarily, Is. Excused by
Deputy Warden, temporarily,

rolled during month 8, and
3 were discharged from the insti.
tuition. Number pupils reported
for breach of institutional rules 8,
and l was reported for lack OF
interest in school work.
The prison night school Is doing
excellent work. That the men
are interested in their studies il
proven by the fact that only one
pupil was reported for lack oil
interest in his studies.

the principal part in the days en-
tertainment. His first number,
"The Moneyless Man." was de-
livered in clear, resonant tones
and with great. dramatic fervor.
Then came the moving pic
lures which were revelation to
many of the old timers. This
feature of the program was to
them something entirely new. Very
few of the prisoners had any idea
as to what the entertainment
would consist of, and the NOV
ing pictures took them by sur
prise. Mr.. Hill also entertained
US by singing several songs which
were warmly applauded.
At the close of the program the
Warden announced that the usual
holiday privileges would be granted.
The men then marched to the
dollhouse where they we're given
an opportunity to talk. A holi-
day dinner was served. The after
noon was spent in the cells, and
each prisoner was allowed to write

The Sky-blue Necktie.

Four young bachelors were
seated in a downtown cafe and
awaited the coming of the New
Year. They told of their ups and
downs and many a clever joke
caused much merriment among
them. But the conversation took
more serious turn, and it seemed
as if everyone present had some
grief they did not care to bestow
upon the listening ear of gossip.
One of the four men was asked
why he remained a bachelor all
his life, and he consented to tell
the story of his plight. He said:
II am glad the old year is passing
away; for me it was sad year,
and instead of sitting among you
to relate my story, [ ought to be
in a house of my own with a
pretty wife to keep me company;
but necktie came between us.
She made me present of a sky
blue necktie, beautifully decorated
with pink carnations and roses.
OF course I was delighted, such
beautiful fancy work nobody could
execute, but my adored Adeline.
I kissed her and thanked her and
vowed to keep that charming
treasure. No mortal ever received
such a splendid Xmas present.
On no common occasion would I
wear such a precious tie, and [
promised to save it for my we'd
ding day. The tie was accordingly
stored away where no designing
burglar could ever find it, and in
course of time [ forgot where [
had hidden it.
"Not three months after Christ
mas my mother was busily engaged
getting ready for the annual
church fair. She began collecting
every available article; everything
was put into dainty white packages
and blue string tied around each.
Of course my mothers grabbag be-
came the sensation of the church
fair.
"Adeline and I attended the
fair and my little companion took
a chance to grab for a present.
A dainty little package came forth.
She opened it, and, to my horror
and amazement, revealed her
own creation,-the sky blue neck
tie, beautifully decorated with
pink carnations and roses! I was
mortified; my pretty Adeline
stared at me in establishment. I
tried to explain but she would
not listen. Well, boys, I have
not seen her since that night"
! Tom had listened to this remark
able story; he turned pale and
asked for a glass of water. After
regaining his composure, he drew
a small package from his coat
pocket; it was. tied with a blue
ribbon. He unwrapped the pack
age and said: "Here, my dear
chum. is your sky-blue necktie;
cheer up. Adeline gave it to me
this Christmas. Please take it to
! your mother;sh is our guardian
langel." 1868.
