Sherman boar'$ Law.

When the late Sherman Hoar,
lawyer of recognized ability, left
the law school and opened an
Office in Boston, his father, Judge
Hoar, was at the height of his legal
reputation.
The young mans first client
was an Irishman, and the case,
tho only some small matter of
a boundary line, was one that re-
quired the examination of a num-
Der of deeds and records. Mr..
Hoar told his client to come back
in two days for his opinion.
The Irishman left the Office, ev-
identity very reluctant at the de-
lay. Turning at the door, he
asked: Couldn't ye give me the
answer tomorrow, Misther Hoar?'
"No, no, come on Thursday"
The client went as far as the
stairs. Then he turned and tip
toed back to the door and put his
head inside, with finger at his
lips.
"Whistl" he whispered.
"Couldn't ye get to see yourfather
to night, Misther Hoar2" Elk.

We wish to say to those who
have been answering the ads in
The MIRROR requesting an ex-
change of papers, that it is impos-
sible to satisfy all who answer
them. For example, the one who
asks to exchange a certain paper
may receive dozen replies. As
he can select only one, the other
eleven persons naturally feel dis
appointed. Some time ago one of
the men wished to exchange the
Utica Globe for the Minneapolis
Tribune. As there are about q
hundred Tribunes coming to the
prison, he had about all the papers
he could carry to the exchange
box for the following two weeks.

One of the new arrivals broke
all records in washing, cleaning
up his cell, etc, last Thursday
morning. He was not aware of
the overtime work in the Irvine
factory. and when be woke up and
heard the men securing their cells
shortly after five, he thought that
he had oversight and failed to hear
the gong. With visions of court
before him, and believing that he
only had about two minutes in
which to get ready, he fairly
made things spin. When these
two minutes began to lengthen in
to half hour, he was quite ready
to swear that the butcher had
doped the lemonade. Later on
he discovered his error, and offered
us two plugs of tobacco and last
years calendar to supressthe story

Lately great deal of marking
and writing has been done on the
exchanges and magazines thatpass
thru the dollhouse exchange box.
This is strictly against the rules.

way defacing exchanges, is for
hidden" Hereafter all papers or
magazines must be kept free of
such comments. as: 'This is a
good story please rush, etc.
Some of the magazine articles have
been marked up considerably by
facetious remarks, alleged poetical
illusions, cartoons, etc. If you
want your papers and magazines
to reach their destination, they
MUST contain cell numbers only.

A sewer manhole blew up re-
Gently in New York, injuring sew
eral people. The authorities are
divided as to the cause; one faction
claims it was caused by gasoline

claims can of homeless ham had

One of the breeziest writer's OF
our day, William Allen White,
