Next Sunday morning the orches-
ira will play The "Angelus," from
Scenes Pittoresques,'' by Jules
Massenet. 1t is of pastoral char
acter, very strong in it's religious
fervor, and the better to understand
one should carry mental picture of
the famous painting of the same
name--the masterpiece of the Great
Frenchman, Millet. and also should
know something of the true mean
ing of the Angelus'' to the devout
Catholic, and more especially so
with the peasantry-tbe calling of
the bell at eventide for the Ave
Maria.
The French peasant life is broueh bit
wildly into view by Massenet's
tone picture in classic form-so
simple and yet at times so pas
sionately fervid, like the outpouring
OF the peasant heart responding to
the call of the Angelus bell for even
ing prayer.

Rev. Budlong called at the sane
tum last week for the last time be-
fore leaving for his new field of en-
deavor in Minneapolis. 1t was with
the deepest regret that we bid him
good bye. for he has been a sincere
friend and counsellor to ali of us in
these our days of trouble. He regrets
the parting as much, no doubt, as
we. and would remain in this vicinity
were there prospect of accomplish
ing any great degree of success in
the work to which he has dedicated
his life. He believes the field which
he is about to enter affords him a
greater sphere of usefulness than he
could hope for here, and that it will
place him in position where he can
give material aid to the boys who
leave here and desire bis help in
starting life afresh. Rev. Budlong's
address at Minneapolis is 1888 Port
land Avenue, and he will always be
at home to the men who go forth
from prison.

Those squads who have bemoaned
the failure of their attempts at the
drill prize all summer, were treated
to a surprise, last Sunday morning,
which almost completely astounded
them, as well as ourselves. 1t all
happened because of the fact that
our Acting Deputy Warden's heart
is hung in the right place. When
the Sunday manouvres were at their
heighth, and while several of the
chronic prize winning squads were
beginning to congratulate them
selves on still one more victory,
Capt. French was observed gliding
slowly down the road" on the STAR
board quarter of Minnesota's squad
ron of derelicts. And behold! upon
his forepeak appeared the symbol of
victory the red flower.
A breathless interval! A silent
stiffness! An exclamation of pro-
found astonishment! and the slow
moving, dust-laden men of bales and
bands rumbled by, and Officer Parent
also carried the symbol of victory.
Again the silent stiffness! the
breathless interval! and there hove
into view the sturdy men of Aye
exhibiting as large variety Of steps
as Georgia negro dancing the vari-
ations of the Jubilee. And upon the
breast of their martial leader. Officer
Haffner, the symbol of victory re
posed in all It's frey splendor.
And yet again the silent stiffness!
and the old guard of D, with the air of
conquerors and the meiu of giraffes
ambled by, and once more the red
symbol of victory blazed high on the
elevated bosom of Officer Picullel.
We'll, I'll be teetatolly eoldarn-
ed!' remarked a neighbor, and the
rest of us thought so too.

One of the most remarkable exhi-
billions of good typesetting that has
come to our attention during our ex-
perience in the printing business,
was given by Rex" a member of
The Mirror Office force, last week.
In little less than nine hours, Rex
set $500 ems of straight Brewer"

four errors and all of them insignifi-
cant. Rex has had but six months
experience on the "case," but there
are a lot of old timers at the trade
