Interpretation of the yellow jour-
nalwere both entertaining and re-
ceived the applause Of the audi
ence.
The singing, which took up a
large portion of the play, was ex-
tremely good, and each of them
received very flattering call for
an encore. The chap who sang
Nobody" made the hit Of the
play, and had to answer to two
enoores.
The entertainment was ably
supported by Prof. Burchard's
trained musicians, and much of its
success is due to the excellent CO.
operation the show received from
the orchestra.
At the conclusion of the per-
Torrance in the chapel the pris-
oners were extended the freedom
of the dollhouse corridors where
they were permitted to converse
until noon, and they did it merrily
and decorously without a singly
breach of discipline.
When the gong sounded for
dinner the men formed in line and
marched to the dining rooms, and
partook of the following menu:
Roast turkey with dressing, cram
berry sauce, mashed potatoes,
parsnips, gravy, mince pie, cheese,
cake, coffee with milk and sugar.
In the afternoon the inmates we're
locked in their cells, each being
given permission to write Especial
letter.
The following transfers were
made during the past week: 452 to
$40; 1O6 to $50; 1924 to l52; 152 to
so; 228 to 395; 662 to 253; $50 to
662.

The engine room at the site for
the new prison is completed and
the tall smoke stack is almost
ready. The engine has been NOV
ed down and put in place and will
be ready by the time the shafting
and machinery are adjusted. At
this writing it is difficult to say
whether or not some of the boys
will eat their Christmas dinner at
the new place. The brick work
on the new factory is still un6n-
ished, but little remains to be
done and it is likely that the ma
chinery will be running near the
first of the year.

GbautauQaa Injecting.

The members Of the Pierian
Circle met in the chapel Sunday
afternoon. After roll call, which
disclosed three absentees, three
new members we're assigned to
classes. Mr.. W., the ex-president,
was appointed critic for the fol-
lowing two months. A motion
was passed to drop the mode of
criticism which has been on trial
for some time and return to the
old system.
The program was opened by
"Reminiscences of the Antipodes, ;"
by Mr.. F. D. This paper dealt
with the social and economic con-
ditions of Australia and showed
careful preparation of facts CLEAN
ed from statistics and personal OBJ
servation. European Nimrods
and American Ladies'" by Mr.. G.
9. r., was an article on the title
hunting American women, deliv-
cred in the authors inimitable but
not unamusing manner.

Minnesota defeated Carlisle in

The game was hot one from the

brilliant playing. The following

Undoubtedly most of us we're
thankful on the anniversary of
Thanksgiving Day. Altho in pris-
on we can sincerely say we had a
good dinner, a fine show, and an
opportunity to converse with each
other. This is more than many
people enjoyed on the outside,
and even in a good many other
prisons they Jared worse than we
did. Our surroundings may not
be to our liking, but we must can
didly admit that they might be a
great deal worse. So let us smile
and let the other fellow do the
worrying.

Next a piano solo by Mr.. G..
The Circles pianist, who always
has musical treat in store, SUR
passed even his heretofore delight
full contributions, and in response
to an enthusiastic shower of ap-
plause, played catchy little Sc
lection in good old familiar rag
time. More power to Mr.. G. and
more ragtime. The concluding
number was a paper entitled,
"Servia and Bulgaria" by Mr.. F.
concerning the recent disturb
ances between those two countries.
The author no doubt spent much
time in careful and logical ar
rangement of the facts in this pa
per, and was complimented by the
critic.
The few minutes that were left
were spent in a general discussion
as to whether or not Morse was
the original inventor of telegraphy
and the different meanings of the
word billion in the French and
English languages.
After the newly appointed critic
read his fair and just review of
the program came adjournment.

minstrel Show.

Thanksgiving Day was observed
at the prison by the presentation
of a show conducted entirely by
the inmates. It was entitled
"Zim's Minstrels,' and it was to
"Zim's" untlring energy that the
success of the play is due. Nearly
all the men who participated in
the show given about a year ago
took part in the present one, and
it was complete success from
every standpoint.
AS in the former show Messrs.
Webb and Ford played the star
