Manner.
PRINTER AND POET

The University Mssourian, which
carries messages from the University
of Missouri to persons in all parts of
the globe, will start on another journey
of the state penitentiary to cheer one
of the inmates who has written that
he has seen several copies of the paper
and would appreciate the Missourian
if it came regularly. The prisoner did
not ask for the paper gratis, but sent
as an exchange copy of poems which
he has written and called Cell House
Ballads
The prisoner is printer and works
in the printing department of the state
prison. His cell house ballads are dedi-
Gated to his ''fellow-unfortunates"
They are written in happy frame of
mind and treat in an optimistic vein
of some incidents of life behind the
prison walls.
Several of the ballads deal with the
departure of prisoners. Goodbye
Bill carries strain of remorse, be-
cause Bill" was pal" who got his
pardon and was leaving. "A Tonsorial
Rhapsody" describes the feelings of
the prisoner on hair-cutting day, when
he was told he could keep his
"ebon locks" as the time was near
when he was going to be freed.
An Ode to Hash" deals with the
food question. Another poem is given
over to the delights of the older
cons" when the rockies" or new pris-
oners are brought in. Another is dedi-
Gated to the chaplain of the peniten-
/ tiary and shows that he is evidently
a favorite with the inmates
A clever poem is that made up of
catch words from advertisements in
a magazine which the author had been
! reading. 1t showed that he was a
careful reader of advertisements-but
that is not the reason the Missourian
will be sent to him.
