of majority on the homestead farm in
the Town of Sigel. He was married
to Miss Mamie De Bar about 30 years
ago and soon after left the farm and
moved to New Ulm. He owned feed
store at one time and followed different
occupations while he lived here. Ten
years ago he went to St. Paul with his
family and about four years ago went

Prison Memoirs

A new book just from the pub.
fishers, has come to our table this
week, written by man who was con-
demned to pass twenty-five of the best
years of his life in state penlten'
tiary. but was pardoned seven years
before the time was up. 1t is the
book of scholar, the diction Is per.
feet, and there is not dull line from
the first page to the last. 1t is a
study in sociology, but there are no
dry statistics. 1t is simple, human
record of great experience which
did not embitter the man but sent
him out to work with undying zeal for
the betterment of conditions in our
penal institutions; more than that, to
strive for the elimination of such In
stitutions, for his story proves con-
clusively that they work such terrible
harm to the inmates that no amount
of good they could ever accomplish
would offset the evil. His story is
not written in hysterical passion OF
anger and resentment. He treats his
subject not at all as though he had
been the man who spent fifteen
dreadful years in that abode of mis-
cry and despair but with the calm,
unbiased mind of the investigator
who will accept nothing but the facts
and the facts he finds are such as
will horrify the most experienced mar
or woman. There are terrors of physi.
cal and moral degradation that we
who live in the sunlight do not know
exist; degeneracy that is absolutely
incomprehensible to a healthy minded
person. Acts and thoughts too terrible
for words are the products of the peni'
Tertiary system which corrupts not
only the condemned criminal but the
officers and others connected with
these soul destroying institutions
as we'll. The book fascinates and
no one could read it and continue to
believe that the penitentiary system
is the right solution of the problem
of caring for the criminal. 81.

Good Idea

A skating rink has been planned
for the ball grounds north of Ger
man Park. A crew of men worked
there for several days and built up
an embankment for holding in the
waters when the weather grows cold
enough for doing the flooding success
fully. Last years efforts in this line
were unsuccessful owing to the fact
that the water all ran OF down the
slope to the tracks. 1t Is to be hoped
that the work can be carried out this
winter for no other winter sport pro-
yides such heaNhful exercise Tor
young bodies which need strenuous
exercise to counteract the evil of en-
forced quiet in the school room for
long hours each day. There's nothing
like skating for bringing into play
every muscle of the body and at the
same time providing an abundance
of fresh air for the lungs so that
ahe blood is purified and sent cour-
sing thru every part of brain and
body One who has enjoyed An hour
on the ice rink has all the exhilara-
ton which follows the taking of a
cold bath and the best part about 1t
is that the body has been cleaned in
side as we'll as out. We believe that
eventually every schoolhouse in the
land will have its skating rink be-
cause the pupil who can spend ten
to fifteen minutes twice day in
exercises on the ice will be able to
do so much better work mentally
