Duty and humiliation will put US
in that straight and narrow path;put
us in touch with our true inward
selves. Here in deep meditation
we can look back over our past
lives and resolve to be men from
this time on with something of good
in view. Like the little spring that
flows from the mountain side, and
into the brook, and from the brook
into the creek, and from the creek
into the river, and from the river in
to the mighty ocean, and centers
there. May my efforts, both mental
and physical be centered in doing
my whole duty to God and man and
thus retrieve what | have lost in
the fall, and become a better man.

does it just happen so?

As we journey through life, let

airy circumstances there is much pleas
ure to be had; much good to be done
and much of a useful and benifcial
nature, as concerns ourselves and
others. to be encountered as we
journey down the stream Of life.
And / wonder if the author of the
above quotation did not have some
of these things in mind when this
pleasing thought provoking passage
took form in his mind. If so, and
if according to his idea, only those
lived who strove to get the best out
of life, how many he must have en-
countered who were not living in
that sense of the word. In order to
get the best out of life, to live by

those luxuries are desired and
sought after, when once acquired
they always bring more care than
real pleasure. Moralists tell us if
we would be happy, we must be
good and to bear out this contention,
cite that Oft repeated truth, that the
wages of sin is death. !" This is not
always a popular view to the seeker
after pleasure. The condition in
volved seems too difficult to fulfill,
especially to those of us who find
it hard to be good. And still all
human experiences bear out the
truth of both statements. Where
can you find more real, heart break
ing sorrow than among those who
have failed to govern their lives in
accordance with the rules of right
living? When a man once trans
crosses these rules he excludes from
his life all real joys and pleasures

Tailor Shop Notes
By Percy.


It is somewhat cooler in the tailor
shop and the boys are finding it
quite relief from the excessive heat
during the past two or three weeks.
The storage room where clothing
belonging to inmates on their ar
rival is kept for them until they are
discharged, is being recovered with
tar paper to keep out the moths.
Is there any one who would like
to exchange the Physical Culture
magazine for either Hampton S,
Everybody's or Cosmopolitan? If
so, put 368 on your list of cell num-
bers and / will reciprocate.
There is no use talking, there is
class to the new uniforms. Tailor
Nelson has surely designed very
neat suit and when the men are all
logged out, it will be hard to find
another like institution where the
men are any more neatly dressed.

morse. When in difficulties Of any

others for assistance and usually
consider ourselves fortunate only
when we profit by the example Of
those who befriend us and succeed
in making ourselves more worthy of
their kindness. The real pleasure

How fortunate for the weaker
members of society that there are
still those who, while going through
life, live by the way with an ear
attentive to the cry of distress? And
how consoling to those who have
erred, to know that the joys Of right
living wait all who care to make
them theirs; that out in the world of
men and action, where the sun shines
and the birds sing gayly, there is
ever a glad welcome and a helping
hand awaiting the recruit to the

To The Editor:

This being my first experience of
this kind of life / may not be able
to gage myself to the point of
equanimity, for you know the good

fore me; and / wondered if Holy

No doubt in my mind, after due
consideration, that nothing save this
kind of experience would have
brought me to my duties to God and

good citizenship, that law and order
must be maintained and upheld, and
that when we infract the law Of
either God or man, that We must

Consider The Spud
Continued

just as men go wrong, some
times, the potato goes wrong, oc-
caslonally. As a matter of fact
some persons make money raising
renegade spuds. The downfall of
the murphy is accomplished when
| it is planted in dark cellar or
cave. The result is potatoes in
about the regulation time but of
reduced size and doubtful flavor.
Replant these cave grown potatoes
in the same place and you get
spuds alive with solanine, one of
the most deadly poisons used in
the drug world.
A fellow member recently made
the statement that the potato
spread all over the earth in ten
years. / have been unable to con-
firm it. | think he referred to the
potato bug. This small beetle for
mally fed on the sand burr of Col
orado but quickly changed his base
of operations when, early in 1850
potatoes were planted in that re-
giOn.
eau imagine the ecstatic bliss
that must have been his when the
first bug lighted on Colorado po-
tato plant. The smile that spread
over his bug countenance has new
er come off. You can see it yet un-
der the GLASS. In his Joy he must
have. raised mighty bug yelp
that brought all his neighbors to
share his joy. A babe with its
first stick of barber pole candy is
the nearest comparison of which |
think. The sand burrs of Color
ado have bloomed and blossomed
IN unmolested desert luxury ever
since.
In 1859 the bugs had followed
the course of the potato empire
Eastward to within 100 miles of
Omaha. Two years later an army
of them reached Iowa. In 1866
the traveller breasted the Father
of Waters" and shook himself on
the shores of Illinois and Wiscon-
sin. In 1869 it got to both north
ern and southern Ohio. It swept
during the next two years over
Pennsylvania, New York and into
Canada and the following year be-
came general along the Atlantic
coast from the Carolinias, north
ward. The bugs have never trou-
.bled the South and, as yet, have
not reached Europe. It is esti-
mated that they cost the planters
of America $40, 900, 900 annually.
Somewhere, sometime, someone,
will erect monument to the spud,
most universal of foods. It will
probably be up there in northern
Maine where they raise the finest
in the world. At the base of that
shaft well might we carve, in let
lers deep and undying this senti-
ment:
Il am the Ruler. the King and hold the
World in fee.
Sword on sword may ring but the triumph
rests with me.

Prohibition
By Req.

Elimination by substitution, will
eventually play an important part in
the saloon question Of today, and at
the present time we gladly recognize
that this idea is making rapid pro-
gress in whipping out the liquor
traffic. In far off Alaska the idea of
substitution has manifested itself in
the form Of club rooms, where the
tired miner can utilize his leasure
hours by congregating with his fel-
low man, and where he is not COM
PEELED to part with his hard earned
dollars in payment Of TO tten
whiskey.
Eventually day will dawn when
the laws of our Nation will emphat-
ically proclaim whiskey a poison,
and will require doctors prescrip-
tion to procure it. When that day
arrives, the discharged man can step
through the gate and back to the
city knowing that he has not the
awful temptation Of whiskey to bat
tie with. And the elimination of
this obstacle to the redemption of
fallen-man will surely be Gods
blessing.
Each and every parole violation
tells story of its own, and the foun-
dation of all those broken promises
is composed mostly of whiskey.
I sincerely believe there has never
existed man who deliberately step
ped beyond these walls with pre-
meditated idea of committing crimes
against society. Somewhere, deep
down in the heart of every man,
there still exists at least spark of
manhood which constantly calls for
regeneration, and with a fair chance,
this man will at least make an effort
to drag himself from the gutter slime
of the underworld. Will power plays
an important part in resisting
the temptation of whlskey, but man
is weak at his best, and among the
delinquent of the underworld, you
will find men who once were of ro-
bust physique and strong intellect;
men who once were mighty factors in
the world of commerce. But demon
rum is no respecter of persons. and
IN this deluge of the worlds under
tow you will readily recognize the
man who once was; the man who
slowly drifted from the champagne
of a palace cafe to the FIVE cent
whiskey of a bowery dive. This
man is a pitiful sight as he merely
exists in the haunts of great city.
Have you ever stood upon the
street of restricted district, in the
small hours of the night, when the
glare and glamor of the underworld
was slowly drawing itself back into
its darkened haunts at the approach
of Gods sunlight, and noticed the

preached and steamed to meet the

firing the imperial salute Of thirty guns
and breaking out a gay display OF
bunting.
Emperor William, after the review,
