Random Daubs
BY OTTO MOBILE

Twine-cans have started coming in, pay
ing their usual prolonged visit.
Foreman Plaster reports the work on the
N. P. cells nearly completed.
Can nearly see the end of the mowers,
now. Then comes the gear-frames for
binders.
A new citizen mechanic was added to the
assembly force lately, and is busy turning
out gear-frames for binders.
The two boys operating the green-vat
for mower wheels, find time to clean up
odd Jobs that accumulate.
| saw, YOU new prison cell daubers, how
do you like exercising a twelve-inch brush
on cement walls? Some physical torture,
Ell?
Our curiosity prompts us to ask whether
or not Mex eats corn on the cob, and if so,
how? If he does, it must be like an ordi-
nary human being eating peas with a
knife.
On Labor day, party asked us how
long we were "doing." When told, he
exclaimed: "That's not bad, lots of men
live that long Ouch! Get off my corn
you brute.
The turning out of mowers is suspended
for the present, making room for the bind
er gear frames. Geo. r. has fitted up
the tester and the boys are again max
ing the paint and varnish fly.
In answer to a query, in a late issue,
would say that we have every reason to be-
lieve sold Hutch is somewhere in the
vicinity, for on coming into our cell the
other noon, we found it resembling Picca-
dilly Circus in the wake of Militant Suf-
frage mob.
Our attention was drawn to the sanitary
and convenient cells at the new prison on
Labor day, but chiefly to the paint used on
their interior. 1t is a refreshing green that
combines to tighten the cells more and re-
lieve the eye strain, thus assuring the occu-
pant of harmonious and restful abode.
Officer La Rue should take up art, for h e
surely has a fine head foi ''color schemes.
His runner recently white washed the in
terror of Shop A and Mr.. La Rue quickly
sent for "dauber,' to paint a border Of

explained, sit must harmonic with the
color of the workmen. Methinks it should
have been white border over black

Do men in prison want their paper to
be one of literary talent, or one of news?
This is question we are trying to solve.
Literature of all kinds can be purchased or
secured from the libraries, but for penal
news, of their own and other institutions,
they cannot buy; it is not printed extern
sively enough, unless their institution
paper takes it up. The country weekly
gives all of the news of the home
town; the dailies furnish the world and
city news; and an institution paper is moth
ing more or less than country weekly,
furnishing practically all the news the ma
jority of the inmates get of their institu-
ton. The majority of prison newspaper
editors received their instructions in the
old school, country weeklies, and it is q
good line to stick too, letting the literary
magazines take care of the literature.

ing when you have no troubles-it only
breeds them. Drinking is not going to
keep you out of jail-going to run bigger
chance Of landing you there. Drinking
isn't going to clothe the wife and babies.
1t is impossible to figure out why Its
what you are that makes you drink, e
other than the first answer given-con-
sarned observation-disclosures. On the other
hand it is very easy to sight numerous in
stances where it is "what you drink chat
makes you what you are If you are
not drinking man it is some other dis
sipation that has made you what you are.
The greed for money-to have little big
ger auto than the other fellow; not little
bigger head, has put many good man to
the bad. If there was, or never was for
that matter, no alcoholic beverages in ex-
istence we would soon deplete prison popu-
lations, but we would have other things to
contend with, that perhaps, in time, would
prove just as bad. It's not what you are
that makes you drink-it is only your
weakness for trying to duplicate what the
other fellow does. Think it over.

THE SAYINGS OF PENDENNIS
BY Pendennis.

1t takes something else besides quire of
blank paper and gold mounted fountain

That Oklahoma baby that weighed
twenty-on pounds at berth, cannot COM
plain that it did not have good start in

Flatter the fool and he will reciprocate,
but if you try your cajolery on the wise
man, he will think you are under estimat-
ing his perspicuity.
Scientists now say that Newton's ideas
about the laws of gravitation are out of
date. This does not worry the average
man. He wants the high cost of living to
gravitate downward like Newton apple.
One years residence in any part of the
British Empire, is to give British subject
the right to citizenship, in that portion of

The next sky scraper to be built in New
York city will tower to the height of nine
hundred and one feet. Let us hope an
earthquake will never visit the Island of
Manhattan. 1t seems like tempting fate
to push the city's skyline SO close to the
stars.
In spite of the fact that the United
States is bound by sacred tradition and po-
litical presidents to not permit any form
of monarchy to exist on the Western hemi-

You men who have entered the night
school are making a praiseworthy step.
No man, even though he has college edu-
cation, is so full of knowledge that he can t
learn a wee bit more. The two hours you
spend in the school room will prove more
profitable to you in the long run, than
the same amount of time spent in reading
cheap fiction would. If you take advan-
tage of every opportunity you get, youwll
come nearer avoiding these "silent cite"
than the man who ''sneers" and spends his
time in idle thoughts.

One of the boys in last weeks Mirror
put it up to us to write an editorial on
''It's not what you drink that makes you
what you are, it's what you are that makes
you drink" That is pretty big order
F. c., but here goes nothing. It's what
you are that makes you drink, only one
answer to that-you are consumed hard
headed. Darwin's theory that we are de-
scendants from the ape family will prove
true in this instance. You see someone
else do something and you try to dupli-
cate-ape him rather. 1t is not what you
are that makes you drink. No man can be
SO poor, SO low or degraded that he is
forced to drink because of that fact. Be
cause you have troubles is no excuse fol-
trying to put brewery out of commission
that will only increase the trouble;
neitheris there any valid excuse for drink

Jesus came preaching the Gospel of God and
saying: The Kingdom of God is at hand. Re-
pent We and believe the GOspel.'-Mark 1; l4-l5.
No man has lived twenty years of life
without knowing something of what re-
pentance means, his need of it, what it
can and cannot do. 1t forms one of the
two requirements which our Lord states to
be necessary in order to enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven.
1t is on the second requirement that ]
wish today to lay all the emphasis, name
ly, that man must believe the Gospel.
There is condition or requirement
which must be met. The offer of saliva
ton is free offer; the Kingdom of God is
the poor man market, where he who has
no money can buy and eat that which will
sustain his soul and still the hunger of his
heart But there is a price that must be
paid, an entrance fee, before a man can
pass through the wide open door to enjoy
the divine bounty. 1t is the price of earn
estness and determination. That is within
every mans reach, and however impover-
ished and bankrupt of soul he may be, he
can, if he will, meet the terms. He can
and he will if he wants seriously to enter
the Kingdom of all beauty and grace and
love, somehow scrape together out of his
broken manhood the means which will buy
him entrance. 1t involves effort, and the
payment will tax a mans resolution and
determination to the very limit. 1t will be
the test of his sincerity. Belief in the
Gospel will not come to a man of its own
accord. He must strive after it, and say
81 will believe.
But what is this Gospel Simply stated
| il is the best of all good news, declaring
that God has method whereby man S
welfare here and hereafter can be secured.
Salvation, in word, is being made well
and made whole, morally as well as spirit
ually. This Gospel has three points.
do not say that there are only these three.
But these three are foremost and meet u:
