The banner was again successfully
carried off, or rather defended by
the Roustabouts and their officers,
guards Binker and Casino, last Sun
day. This makes the fifth time for
them since the prizes were first Of
fered, last May, and it is a good
record surely. There are a greater
number of men in the Roustabouts'
ranks, than in any Of the other
squads. and considering the limited
space in which they have to mangu-
vre, it is really remarkable to see
how well they are handled. Guard
Binker attributes their success last
Sunday, to the fact that it was the
thirteenth, for" says he, contrary
to the general order Of things / al
ways hook my cane around luck
whenever thirteen is concerned 1t
is not question of luck with Roust-
abouts. however. for luck has no
part in their success, it is efficiency
and nothing else which brings their
victories. If any of the other squads
aspire to first honors. it is high time
they were exerting themselves.

SALTWATER, GAzETTE.- The
Prison Mirror is "a years old
No doubt The Mirror has ex-
erted a good influence over the
residents at the prison, many of
whom have been made better men
and better citizens by The Mirror.
Many have come and many have
gone during the past "a years, but
The Mirror goes on without inter-
ruption, spreading its good infu-
ence every week that has taken
seed and produced a bountiful har-
vest in many instances. May The

not q society for the projection of
criminals? Better jailsare demanded.
1t 10 very unpleasant for any self
respecting criminal, especially when
be has been brought up ia refined
surroundings which is not infre-
squently the case, to have to eat
course food and associate with yul-
gar people. Our methods with
view to ascertaining their guilt. are
by no means perfect. And any one
with money is likely 10 be brought
into a court at any time, and rudely
questioned by an unfeeling judge.
1t is true that if a very large amount
is involved, one is treated with
certain consideration but even this
is not what it ought to be. AS the
case stands at present no great Grim
inal is really safe from annoyance.
His pictures may be published in
the papers, editorials rejecting upon
his character may be printed at any
moment and he may have to put up
a large amount of bail This is in
convenient especially when ones
money is. tied up in rubber shares.
This is free country. Every GRIM
inal ought to be protected from in
jury. There should be golf courses
attached to every penitentiary. and
if a few airships were provided for
prisoners who get tired Of the regu-
larity of convict-life, it. would be
very nice and kind. You may not
agree with these sentiments, but if.
you ask Mr.. William Sykes what he
thinks of them. You will find they
have his hearty approval.

to several of the men here who UNI

us that that it is an exceptionally

on the good quality of his work and
we hope to see more of it in the
