ticular plant and at the same time
gaining tie best effect from an or
namental standpoint. DR.. Hallam
intends to experiment at his home
with numerous fruits as we'll as
ornamental shrubs, ETC., and if
even half of the specimens which
he will plant should succeed, he
will have one of the finest places
in South Texas-and Mr. Stiles
feels confident tina. all of the
varieties to be tried will succeed,
which there seems no reason to
doubt.
The trees and plants which DR..
HalIam has selected include num-
Der of fruits of a semi-tropic nature,
such as oranges. dates and lemons,
and also nuts. grapes, palms, ETC.,
besides roses and other flowers in
beds, and screens of oleanders and
bananas.
The plan shows walks laid off at
proper places, small and large
squares, with the grapes planted

The whole plan is artistically
designed, and with proper care, the
result will doubtless make the Hal
lam place one of the most attract
i've homes in South Texas.

Last Monday Warden Wolfer
announced the appointment of M.
G. Colligan as Deputy Warden, and
Jonas Backland as Assistant Depu-
ty Warden. These two positions
have. been vacant since the death
of John S. Glennon. The two
appointees are experienced men in
prison work and their many friends
were glad to hear of their good
fortune. Mr.. Colligan has been
connected with the prison in var
ious capacities for about twenty
years, and Mr.. Backland for about
ten years. So if experience counts
they ought to be we'll qualified to
fill their new positions.

Prison Digit School.

The prison night school held it's
last session for the present term
last Wednesday evening. The
school has made wonderful prog
ress in each of the different classes,
and it would be difficult to esti-
mate the benefits which the 165
scholars have derived from this
source. Turnout the school term
the corps of inmate teachers, un.
der the guiding hand of Supe1in-
tendent Steward, took exceptional
pains to advance the pupils under
their charge.
In the prison night school the
inmates have not only found wis
dom, but have been given an in
centive to aspire to higher things
the essentials that make good
citizens and patriotic Americans.
Some Of the inmates have learned
to say the alphabet for the first
time, and then to read and figure.
To them, the school has proved a
blessing, for man is indeed to be
pitied who does not know what is
going on in the world outside of
his immediate surroundings.
It would be a good idea for the
pupils to continue their studies
during the school vacation. 1t is
surprising what one can learn by
simply devoting half hour to
study each evening. When the
school meets again next fall, you
will then stand an excellent show
to be advanced to higher class
the one you have been aiming to
reach. So continue your studies,
even if you must "cut out" some
of your newspapers and novels.

first Board Of Visitors,

Governor johnson has named
the board of visitors for the state
institutions authorized in a bill
passed by the Legislature. The

once. The new board consists of
six members and is composed OF
DR.. S. G.. Smith and D. w. Law
Ter, of St. Paul, who are named

Minneapolis, and Rev. A. G.. Wah-
lund, of Cambridge, who will
serve for four years; and DR.. Davis
Graham, of Duluth, j. T. Shain,
of Browns Valley, who are named
for two years each.
The bill authorizing the board
was passed in the last hours of the
legislature, and it's realization was
largely the suggestion of DR.. S.
G.. Smith. The board is to hold
quarterly meetings, visit the state
institutions at intervals and by its
advice aid the Board of Control in
It's management and care Of these
institutions. There is no salary
attached, only expense. For this
purpose 81 900 is set aside yearly

Be it enacted by the Legislature
of the State of Minnesota.
Section 1. That section five
thousand four hundred and forty
five (5445) of the Revised Laws of
1905, be, and the same is hereby.
amended so as to read as follows:
Section 5445. Every convict
sentenced for definite term other
than life, whether confined in the
state prison or on parole there
from, may diminish such term as
follows:
First-For each month, COM
mencing on, the day of arrival,
during which he has not violated
any prison rule or discipline, and
has labored with diligence and
fidelity, five days.
Second-After one year of such
conduct, seven days for each
month.
Third-After two years of such
conduct, nine days for each
month.
Fourth-After three years, ten
days for each month for the en-
tire time thereafter.
Said board, in view of the ag-
gravated nature and frequency of
offenses, may take away any or all
of the good time previously gained,
and, in consideration of mitigating
circumstances or ignorance on the
part of the convict, may after
wards restore him, in whole or in
part, to the standing he possessed
before such good time was taken
away. Whenever a convict shall
pass the entire period of his i'm
prisonment without an unexcused
violation of the rules or discipline,
upon his discharge he shall be re-
stored to his rights and privileges
forfeited by conviction, and re-
ceive from the governor certifi-
cate, under the seal of the state,
as evidence of such restoration.
Section 2. This act shall take
effect and be in force from and
after its passage.

There were several absentees
from the meeting Of the Pierian
Circle held on May 18th, and the
program underwent considerable
alteration. However. in spite of
these changes and of Phebus
kissing the earth with excessive
ardor, "an enjoyable time was
had" as the Rubeville Times puts
it. Here followeth the menu:

The first paper dealt very graph
ically with the fearful calamity
from which Galveston has issued
triumphant, as only an American
city can. While it can hardly be
expected of a sufferer in catas-
trophe of this. kind, that it should
not be entirely the dark side Of it
which impresses itself on him, yet
it must be admitted that the circle
turned with relief to the next
number on the program, which
also proved a record of personal
experience, butsin a more every
day phase of existence.
A new member made very
successful debut in an epigram-
matte but somewhat pessimistlc
paper, which, without eulogizing
that mythical epoch known as the
Good Old Days, nevertheless as
serted that man had improved but
little since he emerged from bar
barism. Discussion ragged fierce
ly about this question also rather
irrelevantly, not to say irreverently.
The critics report which was,
as usual, encouraging, illuminat-
ing and not too severe, brought
the meeting to close.

The forceful man, he who thor-
oughly believes in certain line
of action and who consistently and
forcefully follows it, is bound to
encounter opposition at some
stage of progress. The right kind
of man will concentrate his
brains and energies in an effort to
triumph no matter how severe
may be the opposition, but all too
many men sulk in the face of op-
position and give up the fight. It
is unfortunate that so many men
are too cowardly to let it be known
that they are on the right side of
question. It takes physical and
moral courage to fly in the face of
public opinion, but those who have
the stamina to do it achieve re-
suits, and write their names high
on the scroll of fame.
