Fourth Of July.

The Fourth of July celebration
at this institution was one long to
be remembered by the 695prisoners
of this place. AS the day was an
ideal one, the inmates were given
the freedom of the park from 8:15
to l1:30. The park was neatly
decorated for the occasion with
flags and bunting, and made
a beautiful playground in which to
celebrate the glorious Fourth.
During the time the men were
in the park, an ample program
was provided for their entertain

Last weeks article on the Il
Don't Care" man, met the hearty
approval of several of the inmates.
It matters little whether a man is
on the outside or in prison, the
principle is the same. just be-
cause man is in prison is no
reason why he should cease to
take an interest in his work, and
become an II don't care" man.
On the other hand, If he takes an
interest in his work and does it to
the best of his ability, the guard,
on being questioned, will reply:
eyes, the man is absolutely
reliable and does his work
faithfully" The foreman, on be-
ing asked, will say: "He is one
of the best men in the shop, and
! shall be sorry to lose him when
he goes" When the Deputy
Warden is looking for a good man
to fill an easy position, the Il
don't care" man is not likely to
be recommended. It is the man
who is "toeing the mark" that gets
the plum. Does it pay to avoid
being an ri don't care" man? It
surely does. In the long run. you
will clear about fifty per cent on

other picket Of their own people.

At least two sergeants, he claimed fu-

He was treated unfairly: he was abused

this he said to the corporal, who lis
tened attentively, giving grunts of re-
spectful assent.
On the way to this post, two prlyates
took occasion to drop casually to the
rear and pilfer in the orchard Of a de-
serted plantation. When the sergeant
discovered this absence, he grew black
with a rage which was an accumula-

WORK NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
Labor in Boyhood of ADVANTAGE In
Later Life.

Do you feel many days that you
have had a hard time? Your hours
are long. Your task is hard and wages
small. The contents of your weekly
pay envelope will scarcely carry you
over the week. Sometimes you must
wear patched trousers or a frayed
coat. Your employer expects a great
deal from you. Other fellows dress
well and always have money. They
have coddling fathers and mothers.
while you toll six days a week to make
a living, says a writer in the Valdosta
(Ga.) Times.
Never mind, young man. You are
ahead of the boy who has every lux.
ury at home. You are getting expert
C that he must get somehow later
on. Because, sooner or later, he must
fight the real battle of life himself.
And you have the advantage. While
life has been made easy for him, he
lacks drill and discipline which every
hfe-soldier must go through. You are
preparing yourself. He may go in
without preparation and fail.
Work is a great blessing. You can.
not see now, but some day you will
say that you were fortunate in your
boyhood days because you were COM
PEELED to work. Because you cannot
get power to do things save by doing
them. Look over the successful men
you know. Get their history. Nearly
every n was compelled to work in
boyhood. They toughened their mus
cles by hard work, and sharpened
their brains by looking out for them
selves.
Work makes men. Luck usually
fails. Pluck nearly always wins. To
succeed in anything one must over
come obstacles. Force and fiber are
built by h%ardships. Grit is as neces-
sary In the making Of a man as gump-
ton. Hardships are not always han
dicaps. Often they are helpers. You
will understand this better In 20 years.
Meantime, permit one who has lived
that 40 years and more to advise ybu
In this.
