On the same day he had been seen at II
store, where he bought suit Of clothes
and several other articles. which he said

such explanation of the mystery snr
rounding the mans disappearance was
not accepted by his family and friends

years respectively, waited with anxiety
for the return of the husband and

PARK PROGRAM.

The PRISON MIRROR, edited by
the inmates of the Minnesota
state prison at Saltwater, celebrat-
ed another birthday and entered
upon it's nineteenth year. It
claims to be the oldest institutional
paper in the country, but the
claim is not we'll founded, for the
Summary, from the New York
state reformatory at Elmira, an
tedates it by five years. This, how
ever, does not detract in the least
from the unique place THE MIR
RoR occupies in institutional news
paperdom, for it is ably edited,
neatly printed, and contains as
much, if not more, original matter
than any prison weekly that comes
to this Office. Long may it con-
tinue to voice the sentiments of
the inmates of the prison from
which it halls and moulds thought
that will eventually result in the
establishment of manly character.

the most delightful feature of the
meeting, was an exceedingly we'll
written article. It was entitled,
"The' Art of Dining and if the
spontaneous applause that reward

criterion, the paper was fully ap-
preciated by the fellow members.
At this point our local artist
favored the circle with piano

The next number was a class
report by a member of class A,
entitled, "Studies in Nature and
Geology The concluding mum.
Der on the program was a paper
dealing with "The Evolution in
Warfare" This was an excellent
paper, but owing to the time con.
sumed in reading it, there was nc
opportunity for discussion.
The new critic made his initia.
bow before the circle, and by the
tact and thoroughness with which
he reviewed the program, fully
sustained the presidents judgment
in rendering him the appointment
Following his report the circle

One of those large-leaved catalpa
trees on the lawn in front of the
dollhouse Was so severely twisted
by the wind storm of last Friday
night that Sinbad had to cut off
one of it's limbs. The top of this
beautiful shade tree was blown off
about a year ago, and before the
recent storm it was branching out
in fine shape. Old Zeus seems to
have grudge against this particu.
lar tree.
