the selection of reading matter.
The Mentor is Of the opinion, that
where it is practicable, all articles
in prison papers should be written
by prisoners themselves. The fact
that man can get his productions
printed is sure to stimulate his in
terest and fill him with desire to
get a grip on the elusive English
language"
The Mentors opinion is one with
which we entirely agree. Prison
publications, in order to interest
their readers, and at the same time
benefit the prisoner, must contain
original matter as much of it as
is possible to procure. The main
purpose of all prison papers is, or
should be, to acquaint the public
with the true status of the prisoner,
and this purpose can not be accom-
plished with outside news and views.

q masterpiece of short fiction in this
mum Der, Never A Welsher." A
man has been given but six months;
to live by bis physician, and. man
hike, he inficts his tale of woe upon
the nearest woman; in this case his
nurse. Unknown to him, she also
has just been told that she can not
hope to live but a few months. but
unlike the man, she sees the true
significance of such verdict.
and instead OF exerting her every eff
fort toward making the few remain
ing days as pleasant and the newt
able end as easy as possible, she goes
about her accustomed duties with
that quiet heroism of which only a
truly good woman is capable.
Knowing that her own DAYS are.
numbered. she listens to the mans
complaints against the fate which
has decreed that he be cut off at the
height of his manhood, and patiently
yet forcefully she drives home to him
the truth that life consists not in the.
days that one lives, their number or
pleasantness, but in the manner in
which those days are filled in. How
she convinces him that his only
right course is to make the time he
has yet to live as useful to others as.
possible, even at the cost of shorten
ing that time, and how he, submit
ting to her superior mind, goes out
to work for those whom he must
leave behind and in so doing regains
his health, only to find. when he
comes back to offer her share OF his
great good fortune, that she has Civ

WITH each new development in
the Rosenthal murder case in New
York it becomes more and more APP
parent that the police, if not the
prime movers in the plot which Gull
minated in the shooting of -Rosen-
thai, were at least aware that such a
plot existed, and did nothing to pre-
vent its being carried out. The
truth is going to be known, for the
citizens of New York are aroused
and will see to it that the matter is
sifted to the bottom. 1t is as sure
as fate that some one is going to
suffer and suffer severely before the
investigation is finished.

Geo. Clinton Pain, 100 years DID,.
ascribes to buttermilk his long life.
Most of us would just as soon not
live SO long and enjoy something
else besides buttermilk.
A New York astronomer predicts
that it will only be a matter of time
until man will be able TO fly to the
moon. The sensible people will
wait few years longer and walk
New Orleans is reported to have
the fewest telephones of any city
in the United States in proportion
to the population. T b e people
down there do not like to do any
thing that causes the least exertion.

paper, says the trouble with man is,
that he is egotistical, jealous, un-
faithful, Incorporate, cowardly, des-
potic, bad tempered and idle. Out
side of that he must be alright.
Senator Tillman wants Uncle Sam
to have the largest battle ship
afoat. Such ship, he says, would
end the race for naval supremacy
between nations. Just about the
time we had such boat built some
other nation would order larger
one built. That suggestion will not
do at all, Senator.
A noted American Theosophist
advances the theory that the social
ed crime waves that periodically
sweeps over the country may be
traced directly to the result of capt.
tai punishment. Whenever we hear
of wholesale executions, says this
authority, we watch with bated
breath for the result. 1t never fails.
So is it not reasonable to believe
that Unreasonable evil can be
wrought by revenge and hate, which
does not die when the body is des-
troyed, but goes on struggling to
express itself in that sphere which
is most natural to 1.-THE earthly
life. These evil forces fasten upon
such minds as are weak enough to
be controlled by them"

WHEN REV. SMITH, speaking at a
meeting of the Eugenjc's Congress
in London, stated that he'd rather
have a good healthy burglar for a
father than a consumptive bishop,
he showed himself to be possessed
of that rarest of all good qualities,
common sense. A sound, healthy
body is the thing most to lie desired
in this world.

Our READERS will remember the
big splurge created by the National
Sheriff's Association at their con-
vention in St. Paul few weeks ago
when several of the members scath-
ingly criticized the laws, prison war
dens, parole boards and everything
else connected with the parole OF
prisoners. The sheriff of Santa
Ana, California. stated that seven OF
every ten crimes committed in his
county were the work of former
convicts, paroled men and men on
probation. Sheriff's ]. J. Dillon of
Iowa, J. NJ. Lingenfelter of Kansas
and Micheal thinner of Cook coun-
| ty, ILL.,, agreed with the California
officer in opposing the parole OF
prisoners.
Just listen to this by the Editor
the Penitentiary Bulletin, of Lam
sing, Kansas:
"Sheriffs are usually good men
when not in Office and many of them
manage to keep the milk of human
kindness in their hearts even when
performing their duties. But the
duty of their Office is man-hunting
and the tendendcy is toward harsh
sentiments against those whom they
pursue.
Every officer seems to eloat over
the number of bad men" whom he
has caught and sent over the road"
And many of them seem to resent
any attempt to discover manhood in
prisoners, as an affront against their
judgment.
The one Kansas sheriff whose
name was mentioned in the dispatch
| from st. Paul, Is In Sumner county.
Our records show that there have
been 81 men paroled, who came
from that county, of these, tlUO
have violated their parole. Tracing
the records of the last Is who have
been sent up from that county we
find IL of them were first offenders.
Three of them were men who had
served time in other penitentiaries
but had not been paroled. tlUO OF
the eighteen were paroled men
from reformatories in other states.
One had been in an insane asylum.
Not quite I out of 10. And of
those who had been in penitentiary
before three had not had the privi-
lege of a parole

To this man life is sunshine and
warmth, green pastures and run
ming brooks.
To such man it is good to be
alive.
You glance over your shoulder
and right back of you you see man
weighed down with sorrow.
You can see it in his face, his step
is heavy and his whole manner is that
of one whom Sorrow has marked
for it's own.
This mans life is gloomy, dreary,
dark.
He Is walking through the valley
of the shadow of death.
The man in front of you laughs
ard the man behind you weeps.
You look at the man in front of
you and then you turn and look at
the man behind you and then you
repeat to yourself: well, life is a
funny proposition after all p
But did you stop to think how
typical of life is the little procession
of which you are form ing the central
figure?
Mirth, joy, Notification marching
ahead; gloom, and sorrow bringing
up the rear.
Thus man has, on his journey
through life, these two travelling
companions constantly with him.
Sometimes they take turns at
walking arm in arm with you and
no matter how far you travel or
where you 60 you can rid yourself
of neither one permanently. One
or the other may leave you for
while, may absent himself for
period but he always comes back.
1t has been so ordained by Him
who rules the world and notes the
career of man that each individual
should have for an escort the twins
Joy and Sorrow.
And so the man in the street sees
ahead of him the gay, youthful, JOY
full companion of his walk and back
of him the gloomy, stopped,
heavy-hearted partner of his path.
In most cases these travelling COM
panions seem to be mortal enemies
They flee each other and do not
want to associate.
Occasionally we see man with
so strong personality, SO great
knack for getting along with those
about him, that he just seems to
have locked arms with Joy on one
side and Sorrow on the other. But
such men are few.
In most cases we all have a hard
enough time entertaining one of
these travelling companions. at a
time, and few are sufficiently versa
tile TO be able to give both attention
at the same time.
Life is a funny proposition after
all.''
And no matter where you 60 you
will find on one side of you the man
who laughs and on the other the one
who weeps.
Sunshine and shadow chase each
other and heat and cold are con-
slant companions.
And 50 it is with man. He has
the company Of two differing ele-
ments, two opposing influences; two
unlike conditions constantly play
for the mastery in his affairs.
Joy and sorrow, good and bad
come and 60 in the life of every
man and woman.
