In the near future there will be
quite change in the guard force.
Mr.. Sullivan will have charge of
the solitary. and Mr.. Harding will
be transferred to the dollhouse.
Mr.. Alexander will take charge of
the stewards department, and Mr..
Coles will be assigned to duty in
connection with the new prison.
These changes are gradually taken
place so the officers can familiarize
themselves with their new duties.
Atho construction work on the
new prison has not yet begun, it
is expected that work will com.
mence at once.

When the flooring in the usher's
Office was taken up, the chief engi-
neer gave the carpenters explicit
instructions to be careful and not
split any of the boards, as he IN
tended to use the lumber else
where. He had it taken to the
fireroom where two men spent all
day in taking out the nails and
smoothing off the tongued and
grooved edges. When the men
got thru with the work, Mr.. Still
key had them pile the lumber off
to one side. When the night
crew came on they supposed that
the stuff was intended for kindling
wood and burnt it. The chief en-
gineer is not saying a word, but
occasionally his eye chances up at
the tall chimney and he thinks what
shame it was to lose all that
double eight lumber.

Only a Book. I.

The distant future Oh its way:
The root of knowledge, wOndrous tree
Whose branches reach Eternity.
Simply bunch of leaves, that's all,
And yet, the nations rise and fall.
/ live to show from age to age
Their record on my printed page.
Often destroyed by vandal hands,
spring anew in distant lands
To shed my clear, instructing rays.
That men may thread Lies endless maze.
Who but the foolish dare to spurn
My treasures all, nor care to learn
Thru me the way to reach the goal
Awaiting each and every soul.
Partial to none, alike to each,
Not mine the hand to falsely teach:
II e'er praise where censure's due,
Or say It's false the good, the true.
Deal with me gently; cast aside
As SO much trash, and then abide
The time, when, thru some nobler pen.
I stand redeemed again to men.

Several of the stately shade
trees along lower main street were
trimmed up last Friday. The
first man we asked said the tops
were cut off in order to allow the
fresh breeze to blow into the din
ingroom. The next said it was
because they were too tall. We
finally found out that it was be-
cause the upper branches interfered
with the electric light and other
wires that are strung along the
street.

The sparrows that make their
home in and about the dollhouse
are a noisy set. Every morning
as soon as daylight appears, they
hold convention and such chat
tering as they do is difficult to
initiate. No doubt they, think
their noise sounds musical and
that the men would be offended if
they stopped. Grid" may con-
slider them as being songsters, but
we are inclined to think they are
nuisance.

Or leave to students or the learned
To delve amidst the dross upturned,
For jewels rare that richly glow
Beneath the glitter and the show.
Some gem of truth. In word or line,
That brought to light will brightly shine;
To live, endure thru time and space,
A blessing to the human race.
Or II tits yet my lot to cheer
The sick or 'prisoned on this sphere;
To cause smile, to Danish gloom,
Or to make thoughtless desert bloom.
And If by word, or line, or page,
Sorrow and grief I e'er assuage,
And in their stead leave behind
Joy and gladness and peace Of mind.
Then It Is well, my part we'll done,
For with my help the day was won,
And tho / pass, there stillremains
The aid some other book contains.
Thus one Of many, just q book.
Favor not with careless look;
Search well and find q treasured store,
A few printed leaves yet still far more.

The burning of the Atwood

caused considerable anxiety at

Mr.. F. Emory Lyon, supt. of
the Central Howard Association
at Chicago, was visitor in the
chapel last Sunday morning. Mr..
Lyon was invited 10 deliver an adj
dress, and took for his theme the
problems confronting the dis
charged prisoner. He prefaced
his remarks by saying that a man
had four personalities, the one
God knew, the one his friends
knew. the one society knew, and
the one he knew himself to be. If
a man knew himself, had implicit
confidence in his faith, the speaker
believed such man would have
little trouble in succeeding. Mr..
Lyon told of the experiences of
some of the men who have ap-
piled to his organization for work,
and the gratifying success of those
who came with the determination
to do right. He said the society
was always willing to aid, but not
to be worked. During the course
of his remarks he advised the men
to make the best possible use of
their time while here, to study
hard. and if they possessed the
means, to take up a correspond.
