A very large proportion Of the people
OF the Uni ed States, though they fully
understand that the countrytis prosper.
Gus. have been puzzled to reconcile this
clamorous fact thatlwith the''much more
obstrusive one that themselves are
not prosperous. But NV comes the
Commercial Bulletin'of Cleveland, with
an inadvertent explanation. Our prosper
ity, it seems, is OF peculiar kind, and
the Bulletin invents a.singularly apt dis
criptive term for.it. The term is "con.
centrated prosperity" Thereby the en-.
igma of a prosperous country with an
impoverished populace is solved. The
country is prosperous, but it's prosperity
is concentrated. in John D. Rockefeller,

acts under orders from his superior
officers. The large and decisive battles
are fought at long distances; but
occasional hand-to-hand encounters in
these battles and in skirmishes and
while accommodating, still offer many
chances for the display of bravery: but
these chances cannot be forced, and
often fall to the lot of men who least
expect them. 1t is rule nowadays,
that the well-trained soldier, who
strictly obeys the orders of his superior,
is by sheer necessity as brave soldier
as the service requires.
The work of training the soldier
should he considered an educational
labor, which acts beneicially in times of
peace as well as in those of war. Civil
and military virtues are not as far
apart as some people seem to think.
The well-trained soldier of cultured
nation Is not brutal destroyer, but q
man who has learned to think and act
judiciously, and who understands how to
fulfill his serious duties to his country
with good common sense and with the
courage of self-sacrifice. 1880.

School Report.

Deputy Warden Glennon's
school report for the month of
November, was submitted to
Warden Wolfer on the first of the
month, and shows that very graft
flying results are being accom-
plished by the prison night school.
Thirteen sessions were held
during the month. The average
attendance during the month was
1859; the lowest, 1853; and the high
est, la. Of this number, 40 in
mates are compelled to attend
school, and 12O volunteered.
During the month thirteen
pupils were enrolled; three were
temporarily excused from school
by the medical department; and six
were permanently excused by the
Deputy Warden. Three pupils,
who allowed their thoughts to
wander from their studies, were
reported for inattention to their
work.

Through the courtesy of Man.
ager j. G. Van Roo, of the Star
Theatre, st. Paul, the 10 wards
of Warden Wolfer had the pleas
ure of listening to the Dreamland
Burlesquers on Thanksgiving Day.
The player folks arrived at the
prison early Thursday morning in
order to have everything arranged
by nine o'clock, at which time the
prisoners assembled in the chapel.
The olio aggregations were ex-
ceptionally amusing and mirth-
provoking. The two comedians,
Jolly Zebb and Ed. Johnston,
were repeatedly interrupted by
thunderous applause. Their jests
and repartees kept the prisoners
laughing almost continuously.
The Dreamland Trio, by Edwin
Lester, Gladys st. John, and
George Quinn, gave an exhibition
of what good dance artists could
do. Their clog dancing was 80
good that they took pleasure in
responding to several encores.
The trio are specialists in their
line and deserved the warm greet
ing extended to them by the many
admirers of artistic foot-play.
Miss Marie Stewart Dodd, the
violinist par-excellence, was high
ly appreciated, as the young lady
is a musician of exceptional abil-
ity. Mr.. Eugene Jerge's song
illustrations, were very dramatic
ally rendered.
The last two numbers on the
program were by Lewis Pritzkow,
a clever comedian, and J. K.
Emmett, who sang song entitled,
II Am Always the Same to You"
Both numbers were we'll received.
especially Mr.. Pritzkow's 1mita-
tons.
At the conclusion of the show,
Warden Wolfer thanked Manager
Van Roo and the visiting men,
bers on behalf of the prisoners for
the excellent entertainment rem
dered, which sentiment was heartily
applauded by all present. Mr..
Van Roo is prince of good fell
lows, and his efforts to amuse and
entertain us, are stimulated by
higher motives than that which
mere wealth conveys.
After enjoying the usual holi-
day privilege of conversing to-
gether in the spacious dollhouse
corridors, the men were marched
to the diningrooms to partake of a
sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner
prepared by Steward Anderson.
The prisoners spent the afternoon
in their cells, each inmate being
allowed to write a special letter.
