the chapel that made distinct hit
with the audience. The song.

and deserving of the applause ex-
tended to the performers.

The comedy sketch by Miss Mae

best hit on the program. This far
cial comedy was cleverly acted,

humorous salIies that the audience
was continually convulsed with
laughter. Everybody were very
lavish in their praise ofthe Obrecht
Concert, saying that it was the
best show to visit us for sometime.
After the concert was over, the
prisoners were given the usual
holiday in the dollhouse where the
prison band gave a continuous
concert. About half past eleven
the men were marched to the din

best dinners of the year. In the

mitted to write a special letter.

During the past week there were
ten arrivals, two discharged, and
three released on parole. :
The population of the prison is
652, distributed as follows: First

The population of the prison
has been gradually receding from
the 700 mark, and it is not likely
that it will pass this figure during
the winter. It is at this time of
year that incoming prisoners are
very numerous, but this year seems
to be an exception, for the down.
ward trend of the population is as
steady as that of the stock market.
This migh bit indicate that the GRIM
inal population of Minnesota is
decreasing.

The alternate meeting Of the

heading of new business men,

to propounding queries pertaining

ideas in mind. Then came a sur
prise to the majority present, but
which was SO satisfactory that it
received the unanimous indorse-
ment of the society, namely, a
resolution introduced by the critic
nominating Assistant Deputy
Warden Backland as pm honorary
member of the circle. Mr.. Back

ferred. The program was as fol-

The first paper forcibly indicated
the originality of the author-a
feature of exceptional Importance
to everyone who entertains a de-
sire to become writer" As the
critic said: "The paper was an
excellent miscellany, inviting no
criticism"
The second numb Der was a care
fully prepared paper, treating of
Oriental exclusion. While views
on this vital subject differ, still,
the authors contentious were ably
presented. One point commended
was that man having the right
to exclude whomsoever he desires
from his house, should also have
the same privilege as to what
classes should be admitted to his
country.

eloquent on the way some people
refused'to patronize home trade.
He thought we should wall until
we got home and then chip in and
buy half dozen, and invite the
Big + crew out to the shack for
Thanksgiving dinner. I agreed
with his idea, and right. there is
where | made mistake.
"On the way home we stopped
at Lime Spring for water. There
is good-sized tree at the spring
the only one in that part of the
state-And the top of that tree
was full of turkeys, at least they
looked like turkeys and we thought
they were. We started on and
Hank said that perhaps the man
who lived in the shack near the
spring had raised them. Right
there is where we get our turkeys
for dinner remarked Hank. We
won't pay for them, either :.
"'How are You going to get
them?' asked. Climb that tree?
You would be as handy climbing
a tree as this cayuse of mine

trees. All l will have to do is to
ride under the tree and they will
just flop into the sack I'm hold
ing. You fellows camp here in

Cub and l slipped our saddles,
turned our horses loose to Craze,
and then built fire and cooked
some grub. Hank came Looping
in just before SHUTDOWN; he had a
long fshpole and a tomato can and
a half pound of sulphur. He tied
the can to the pole, put the sui
phur in the can, and then remarked
that he was ready to catch turkeys.
About nine o'clock we rode back
to the tree. There was no light
in the shack, 81 Hank said we
might as we'll commence. = Bub
and L each had sack, and Hank
manipulated the pole. He dropped
a cigar stump into the sulphur and
then raised it to where the turkeys
were roosting. The way they
came Topping down was scandal
lous. The first one I caught hold
of and put into the sack, smelt as
tho it was mortified. Not know
ing anything about turkeys, I
asked no questions. When we got
our sacks full we tied them behind
our saddles and started for home.
swell, sir, of all the bad smells
that was sure the limit. Hank
was using swear words every other
lope about stockmen who would
drive their cattle to death and
then leave them along the trail to
rot. When we arrived home Bub
went over to the Big F camp to
invite the boys to dinner on the
morrow. Hank and I tied. our
turkeys up under the caves 80 the
coyotes couldn't get them, and
then went to bed.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., has
taken up the study of crime in
New York. which leads pessimis-
tic Photographer to opine that he is
perhaps getting in trim to take
over the active management of the

the man asked him to forswear
cigarettes; this be did. Then came
tobacco, and he agreed. Then in /
their order came clubs, gambling
and the ponies and the man PROM
ised to cut them all out. After fe-
licitatlng herself for some weeks
,over the fact that she had at least
reformed and saved one young
man, she suddenly learned that
never in his life had he been adj
dicted to any of these habits and

that she broke the engagement in

she declares "There was no other

Another interesting paper was
read before the Chautauqua re-
Gently; it dealt with banks and
bankers, and, as did the paper
dealing with the indeterminate
sentence, it aroused a lively dis
cussion. We surely have bank
ing laws enough if they were en-
forced, but we will have bank
wreckers and robbed depositors
just SO long as we have wooden
men on the boards of directors.
Give bank board of directors
that is determined to be shown;
that takes no unsupported state
ments from any official no matter
how implicitly he may be trusted;
in word give bank board of
directors that directs, and it will
be impossible almost for it to be
wrecked. Until this state of af-
fairs can be brought to pass we
will have Stenslands, Heinzs and
Thomases in the banking business.
When the. day arrives that we
have real directors in our banks
such men will drop out; their vo-
cation will have been taken from
them.
The paper recently read before
the Chautauqua Circle on the in
determinate sentence was thought
fully written paper and one that
deserves to be read by every in
mate Of this institution. While
not agreeing with the author in all
respects l believe that in the main
he has the right idea; I believe the
indeterminate sentence as admin
istered in Illinois and Michigan
will rid any state of chronic of
tenders; that it will tend to make
sentences for like offenses more
uniform; that it will put all men
released from prison under surveil-
lance for at least year and per-
haps wean them from their former
associates; it does not tend to
shorten the average number of
years served but it gives the man
who has discovered what fool he
has made of himself chance to
make good, and ultimately cannot
but work for good for both society
and the offending member of So
