THE CHAUTAUQUA
Pierian Circle Holds Its
Bi-Weekly Meeting.

The members of the Chautauqua circle
met Sunday Dec, 18th in the chapel hall
at the old prison. After disposing of the
usual routine business Mr. B. Blackstone
offered the following resolution:
Whereas, one of our valued members
Mr. M. H. Men, has been promoted to
the office of Editor of the Mirror. There
fore, In token of our esteem and as an act
of good fellowship, be it resolved.
That the members of the Pierian Chau-
tauqua Circle extend Mr.. Men, their sincere
congratulations for the enlarged sphere of
usefulness that has been granted him and
hereby record their unanimous good wishes
for his success in his new office.
The program consisted of two excellent
paper. The first paper by Mr. R. under
the title of Canada; Her Government
and her National Status was interesting
and commanded the undivided attention of
the audience. The writer reviewed the
Canadian government in detail, and bro
ught out facts that were especially interest
ing to u.s. as Americans.

song before it is in the hands of the pub

most of the popular music of to-day is
more or less reminiscent of old tunes. We
wish Mr. G. success with his song and he
should be encouraged by the applause with
which it was received.
Mr. B-(Blackstone) acted as critic, and
made favorable report.

MOVING DAY
AT new PRISON
\ New SimpIified System
Adopted Which NeCessi-
tated a General Change
of Cells. p Busy Week In
The Cell Hall.

There was general shake up in the cell
hall at the new prison last week which
made Captain Brostrom one of the busiest
officials around the institution and caused
the inmates to keep their wits about them
in order not to get mixed up in their cell
numbers. The change came as result of
an order for systemization which will mater
tally simplify the work of handling the
men in the cell hall, and going to and
from their regular duties in the shops
BY this order all cell occupants were
changed so that each crew will hereafter
be located in adjoining cells and upon
the proper signal they may come out in
body, form in line at the foot of the stairs
and move off promptly.
The new arrangement also effects the
signal system which henceforth shall be as
follows and the inmates should govern
themselves accordingly.
The first signal will be four taps of the
gong upon hearing which all occupants of
cells on the upper gallery will come out
and form in line at the bottom of the
stairs. The next signal will be three bells
for the occupants of the second gallery;
then two bells tor the first gallery and one
bell for the main floor. These signals will
be used upon all occasions incluning Sum-
days and holidays.
The Cell Changes
The cells changed up to Monday are
as follows:

MANY BASE BALL CHANGES
National League Elects Gov. Tenor Of Penn.
syNania, President and Well Known
Players Figure In Deals.

The biggest base ball deal in history was
consumated at the meeting of the National
League magnates held at New York last
week, in which nearly all the clubs of the
present organization figured and by which
many changes in we'll known players were
made.
Chief among the deals is the assignment
of Joe Tinker, the recently deposed mana
ger of the Cincinnati club to Brooklyn, the
terms of which involve the giving up of
$25, 200 by the Brooklyn management,
SIS, 1000 of which goes to the Cincinnati
club, and $1,000 to Tinker if he agrees to
play with the Trolley Dodgers.
The other changes include, Charley Her
zog, third baseman, and Grover c. Hartley,
catcher, New York, to Cincinnati in ex-
change for ''Bob' Bescher, out6elder.
Edward Konetchy, first baseman, H. H.
Mowrey, third baseman, and Bob Har-
mon, pitcher, of St. Louis, TO Pttsburg in
exchange for John Miller, first baseman, ].
O.. Wilson, outfelder, Arthur Butler, in
fielder, Albert Dolan. third baseman, and
]. H. Robinson, pitcher.
The trades were the outcome of negotia-
tons carried on by National league club
owners during the leagues annual meeting.
They are of such importance that the mag
mates session of 1913, already made me-
morable by the election of Governor John
K. Tener of Pennsylvania as president,

Mr.. Older named a gentleman who
would employ him, and said go tell

"Well,'' said the man, wetting a dry

to you" and he did,.
"No, no!'' exclaimed Mr.. Older, after
hearing it. Don't tell him-don't tell
that record to any man. Tell him that
know your story and say, Put you to
work. The man got the work and
made good. He has completed years
service with such efficiency and faithful
ness as to receive two weeks vacation on
full pay, and recently called with his wife
upon the editor to bear witness and extend
thanks. This man has fine mind and is
devoting his spare time to statistical study
of the costs and results of our present pris-
on system the country over.

A Nova Scotia Story That Carries an

A parsimonious sportsman, shooting
over some wild lands in Nova Scotia
being desirous to bring down big
moose. started out to engage a guide
and moose caller. The usual pay OF
Nova Scotia guide is 50 day; but the
sportsman in question was too mean
to pay the regular rates, and finding
skillful guide, one Louis the Indian
temporarily out of job, after much
wrangling managed to jam him down
to 81 a day, and the two started out
into the woods. All the conditions
were favorable to finding moose, but
although each day before sunrise
Louis the Indian took his birchbark
cone, and placing 1t to his lips, whined
and grunted in imitation of a moose
there was no answering call, no ant

view. After twenty days Of this sort
of effort without result, the sportsman
grew both impatient and suspicious,
and, calling the guide to his tent, he
began to upraid him.

this kind of business. Here we are In
the best moose country in Nova Sco-
tia. You are considered one Of the
best callers in the province. Every
day you go out and call and call, yet
no moose comes. What does IL
mean?"

his mouth for moment and smiled q
