chip in my full salary. And this goes de-
spite the final result Of the series, mon
cher Boobies.
Several consignments of machinery have
arrived during the past two weeks and
others are due to arrive in the near future,
while still others are already contracted for,
their delivery being subject to the compile
ton of the new buildings at the new prison.
By the time the department is under way
in its new quarters in that institution,
there will be assembled group Of ma
chimes second to none in any other estab-
lishment of similar nature; all of them
consisting of the very last word in mechan-
cal appliances.
Speaking of the new buildings now be-
ing constructed at the new prison and
destined to house this department.; while
the scene of their construction is, to most
of us, TERRA INcoGNITA, we can easily
gather after having look at the frontal and
floor plans of the architect, Mr.. Robertson,
that they will form a combination of use
and ornament, which we are inclined to
think you would travel the wide world and
hnd hard to match for the purpose they are
intended. Not later than last night, while
enjoying the usual repast furnished the
staff of teachers on school nights and where,
as it is known, the privilege of converse
ton, conducted in decorous manner, is
zone of the concessions made to the men,
bers, the writer exchanged opinions with
the redoubtable Blackstone who happens to
be his vIs-A-vIs at table. Now, be it
known that my confrere, Blackstone, is a
thorough Judge of architecture, / submit
that his reputation in that line lies in the
fact that he is a proved expert in his abili-
ties to Judge the inside of hotel from its
FACADE. To be explicit: if the outside
appearance of the caravansary appeals
to his artistic sense, he Immediately
moves in, bag and baggage and makes his
stay until Saturday, but-invariably no
longer. Now, please do not ask me why,
for in that case should have to refer you
to the Hotel Keepers Association. Just
recall that hotel bills are payable on that
day of the week. For the information of
those of my brothers who have passed an
anxious week mentally struggling to faith
ON whether the latest lid that tops the ex-
posed expanse of Kilograms coco is
Panama or not, will say yes, it ia near
one.
This past week proved lively one in
the front offices with both Boards of Parole
in session on the same day. The endless
stream of applicants passing in and out
would have lead those not initiated into the
belief that our population was about to be
depleted of nearly two-thirds of its inhabi-
tants. The published reports show that
just seven were successful in convincing the
State Board that they were fit candidates
for further trial on the outside world.
Good luck and success to them.
AS to the Federal end of it, brother, do
not despair. Bear in mind that the govern
ment in Washington is complex machin-
cry, and, like all large size bodies, it takes
time to revolve on its axes. No doubt all
your applications will receive due attention
and, by the time it is referred to the third
assistant postmaster, and from that bureau
respectfully referred to the secretary of the
treasury for his information and opinion as
to whether the per capita circulation of the
currency will enable you to earn sufficient
to keep you in the straight and narrow
hereafter; it will then pass on to the secre-
tary of the interior for his opinion as to the
advisability of turning such character as
your past record shows loose in the nation
al forests, which he is aiming to conserve.
After that august official has concentrated
his analytical mind upon the papers and
feels assured that the forests aforementioned
will be safe if you are released, the docu-
ments will proceed to the state department,
where it will be decided whether or not you
are addicted to the use of the juice of the
grape in its fermented or unfermented
state; if in the latter, your chances will
brighten up; if in the former, no further
consideration will be given your case in
that bureau, and then, of necessity, it will
pass on to the honorable secretary of the
army, in whose jurisdiction it will be de-
termined whether the ESPRIT DU CORPS and
MORALE of the army would in any manner
be impaired through your release. Follow
ing the certifcation of the honorable secre-
tary the papers will then be submitted to
