Caught in the Act

Guard Langdon is taking MIR.
Myers place nights.
"A new member has been added
to the choir and orchestra.
A guard is now looking after the
boys in the blacksmith shop.
The machine department is also
kept very busy preparing the iron
parts of the new machines.
The gallery on Sundays is al
ways crowded with visitors who
come to attend the morning serv-
ices.
Guard Stilkey has the only orig
inal Ole Oleson in the place. Be-
ing a lumber Jack, Ole is right at
home amidst the pine.
|-Caruso is now the head barber.
He has light touch and his razors
are always sharp. The boys all
like to have Caruso shave them.
Warden Wolfer passed through
the different shops several times
last week, and as usual found ev-
erything moving along smoothly.
Uncle John has had several new
window lights put in to replace
the broken ones. He says things
| will be warm up there this win

Several new men are at work in
the carpenter shop and indications
point toward large output of the
famous Minnesota Binders a n d
Mowers.
Mr.. Myers, the night engineer,
has been acting as chief of late,

Boise City, Idaho.
The greenhouse used for the
sick boys has, been fixed up for
1.-The winter. A new side was put
in, as the old one was about ready
to fall to pieces. It has been paint
ed and new glass put in.
Some time ago orders we're given
to the effect that no inmate should

Thinks on Things
By Young Steady.

C p
By Young Steady.
A high head does not always in
dictate a lofty mind.
An opportunity never appeals to
many until someone else has seized
it.
In many ways the small town is
a more desirable place to reside
in than the large city. From a
social point Of view the two can
only be compared to the great adj
vantage Of the former. Take in
a town Of a few thousand inhabit-
ants, one is able to include in his
circle of friends and acquaintance,
all conditions favorable, more
select assembly and enjoy closer
bond of fellowship than in the
crowded and congested city, where
one seldom knows his next door
neighbor and may walk all day
without meeting a friendly face.
In a mercantile sense the town
with it's few select and orderly
stores is far ahead of most cities.
There the farmers find ready
market for their produce and there
the customer is sure to find the
best on the market at the prevail
ing market prices. From sanitary
point of view few would hesitate
between the smoky, impure air of
the large city, with its poorly ven-
tilated fats, crowded with all man.
ners and classes of people, and the
more healthful habitations of the
small town. And still, the great
city, with all it's draw backs and
disadvantages, continues to attract,
by its dazzling brilliancy and new
er-ending round Of gaiety and
amusement, large percentage of
the young men and women from
the small towns and rural districts.
Can monkeys talk? Professor
L. Garner says they can. The
Professor ought to know. He has
spent several years in the wilds of
Africa, where his only associates
were monkeys and where his time
was spent in an effort to become
familiar with their language. Up
on his recent return the Professor
announced that he had succeeded
in learning seven words in the
monkey vocabulary. He further
announced that the result Of his
researches will be given to the
world in the near future. More
interesting still is the member of
the ape family whick the Professor
brought back with him. This fas-
cinating creature answers to the
name of Susie. Snsie is credited
with many accomplishments, not
the least of which is that Of laugh
ing gracefully when amused. In
appearance, Susie resembles a n
Irishman who has lost his Job on
the section. This from the news

an account of the Professor &C.
complishments. Of course, these
newspaper photographers seldom
do their subject justice, SO for the
present it is best to refrain from
commenting upon t b . personal
charms of this queen of the Afri-
can wilds. Perhaps Susie may in
| time become Americanized to such
a degree that her peculiar charms
may be better understood and ap-
preciated. Even then it is doubt
full if she ever becomes adapted to
the use of the hobble skirt-her
feet are entirely too large to con-
form to this new style-while the
merry widow hat can be hoped to
add little to her grace and beauty.
| Nevertheless, we must give Susie
| a chance. The Professor vouches
| for her at present and perhaps later
on she may tell US more about her
self. In few more years, after
the Professor becomes proficient

The Mirror recently presented his
daughter, Lolita, with one of its
famous canaries-a sweet singer

Supt. Ross, of the farm machin-
cry department, is pushing things.
If he pushes other people the way
he keeps after the printshop, he
will get there with both feet and

Among the visitors who regis

Thank you, thank you, every
body. for the pleasing spirit in
which our first production of The
Mirror was received. Well strive
to retain your good opinions with
each succeeding issue.
Well, we would like few more
contributions to the Books Worth

ones have been sent in. but we can
use few more. Get busy, you
fellows, and let's hear from you.
One of the boys spread himself
and bought \ new cornet and all
indications show that he will make
a good player; he improves daily
and if he keeps it up until next
spring he will make good addition
to the band.
It has not yet been decided
which was the most artistic, the
makeup of Professor Webb's first
page or that of Young Steady's
back page of last weeks Mirror.
The laurels will probably have to
be divided between the two.
Old Butch is laying in a big
supply Of sauerkraut for next win

Mr.. Goldsmith why he always
hangs around the corner by the
cave now. He replied: "The oft.
ener I look into that cave the more
saner the kraut will be; do you gel

The vote showed ~ for the
graded school and twelve

This is a move in the right
direction. No town is what it
should be without the best
school possible. Nothing adds
more to the value of property,
or makes better drawing card

Steps will be taken at once to

the young.
