WOOD SHOP NOTES
BY HAPPY HEINIE

Pretty warm in the foundry the last few
days.
l betcha we got the best cook in either
prison.
Two large signs were made for the insti-
tution's exhibit at the State Fair.
Hugo sure fell in love with the new to-
bacco table which was made for him re-

The warehouse is being rapidly filled up
with mowers. Soon will come the
binders.
Two carloads of lumber were received
the past week, which kept the yard men
busy for few days.
Warden VOTERS lawn will soon be re-
splendent with new lawn swing, which
one of the boys just completed.
Three carloads of canvass were received
by the farm machinery department the last
week. One carload is in Shop c ready for
use and the other two stored in the ware
house.
Say o. c., all that noise down at the
new prison must have migrated up here in
the wood shop. But the gent changes the
tone; "color tone, not musical tone, !"
every few days, SO you see he is there with
the variety stuff. Who is it? Never mind
now.
Big Chief Mud Turtle is some strong
man. Recently l seen him pick up a
wheelbarrow, with over a half ton of pig
iron, and walk away with it with a smile
on his face mile long. He says: ''Do
UNI all day in um cupalo. Never get UNI
tired Thanks, Big Chief, but l don't
want your job.
G.. A. NJ, Tailor Nelson's chief clerk
and runner, says he is the only man in the
institution that is there on the running
stuff. He said it was lucky thing for the
boys at the new prison that he couldn' t
possibly be there field day; for if he were
there he sure would grab first prize in all
the foot races. Huh! know somebody
else that can run, too.
Never mind, you fellows at the new pris-
on, l m sore that's all. Here I am in
training every day with a good sized
wheelbarrow and no chance to get into the
wheelbarrow race. If you let me in I'll
take Big Butch for passenger. Aw,
come on and let me in. Say, but laying all
jokes aside, you ought to have music with
your sports. That would suit me to T.

certainly shows his knowledge of the pack
ing of mowers. He is not conspicuous,
either in size or manner, but to observe
him working every second of the day,
swiftly, surely and thoroughly, making
every move count, one is forced to &C
knowledge that he is ''there with it," His
two co-workers are right behind him, too.
Preparations for the State Fair are near
ing completion and the mowers, hay rakes
and harvesters to be exhibited show off to
great advantage with their lettering, strip
ing and stenciling; work of art done by
Lou, who did most of last years work.
The stripping is the usual black and white,
the lettering in gold or black, and the
stenciling in the form of scrowls, etc., is
green and gold over body of vermillion,
the touching up being hand work.
The paint shop crew was thinned out
considerably last week, when several OF
the men were dispatched to the new prison,
for the purpose of painting the remainder
of the cells. AL. g., with two days
start, headed the bunch, followed by
Washington Slim, Blackie R. and Willie.
Al. g., alias Shadow, alias Skeeter, will
be remembered by the boys at the new
prison as the whirl-wind painter, who was
there on the last cell job. Washington
Slim and Willie are the two latest paint
singers this shop has produced since our
arrival. 2

Since the arrival of Landscape Gardener
Newell at the institution, large improve
ment has been made in the looks of the
lawns, etc.
During the past week he has had a crew
of men working in the parA back of the
hospital. The location of this park is all
that could be desired. When the building
was erected, the contractor was very care
full of the trees Whereabouts, and by his
carefulness the park is well shaded. The
park lays between two wings of the hospi-
tai building; the wings forming a letter

at the south side of the park. cement
sidewalk will join the two wings and a
small walk will lead to the fountain.
Mr.. Newell had the men take out about
car load of rock and dirt; then he filled
in with rich black soil to depth of fourteen
inches. A place has been laid out for a
large flower bed at the north side of the
park. When man is put in this park to
recuperate from his illness, it will be all
most impossible to realize that it is a
prison hospital.
The force of men are now working in
front of the hospital. This will be leveled
off for few feet, then terraced. It is

Mr.. Nellis, the St. Paul representative of

How shocked our English cousins would
be to know that Yankee firm of Lynn

These shoes are all real English styles and
are purchased in the belief that they are

new PRISON VISITORS

Thursday afternoon six hundred visitors
from Red Wing, who were on a river ex-
cursion, paid the institution a visit. Several
extra ushers were used. Parole Agent
Whittier was very much in evidence during
their visit, as having for some years lived
at Red Wing. He was busy greeting
friends and acquaintance.
During the month of June l, 467 visitors
passed through this institution and 900
visited the parent institution. In July
1898 were ushered through here and 881 at
the old prison.

NOTICE TO OLD PRISON CONTRIBUTORS

Would like to have the contributors at
the old prison, excepting Boobies, Uncle
John and Pendennis, mail their copy to this
Office Thursday night, SO we can have it
Friday. With the amount of copy coming
from that institution on Mondays it is
impossible to put it all in type by Tues
day evening, when the forms are closed.
This accounts for your copy always being
carried over one week. Boobies, Uncle
John and Pendennis continue as before,
please.-Ed.

Uncle John Says:

Next Monday is Labor Day. All get
ready for the races.
Quite number of visitors passed through
the institution the last few days.
The boys expect some tomatoes for La
Dor Day. Hope they will not be disap-
pointed.
Guard Powers was on the sick list for
several days, but is on duty again in the
power house.
Guard Sudmeyer is away on his ten
days vacation and Guard Thompson is at
present in shop M.
Acting Asst. Deputy Whelan escorted
party of friends through the institution
one day last week.
All the State machine shops are running
full-blast now, and the warehouses will
soon be filled up again.
Heliograms and Comp. will soon have
their hands full again. Courts will open
next month all over the state.
The monthly supplies ordered by the in
mates, were distributed by the Stewards
force last Monday and Tuesday.
Sweet corn was very plentiful up here for
several days, and the boys didn't do
thins to it. Send up some more, please,
Mr.. Farmer.
State Agent Whittier escorted party of
friends around the institution last Friday,
and incidentally paid the band boys visit
in the park.
Thanks, St. Croix, for your well wishes.
We hope to see your name again soon in
the Mirror as contributor. (Your hopes
are realized-Ed.)
Mrs. Henry Wolfer, and her little grand
son, accompanied by Miss Dornall, of
Fairbury, ILL.,, were shown the sights of
our walled-in city last Saturday.
Guard Plante is wearing the smile that wont
come off, Why? He is the proud father
of baby-boy-11 pounds. Mother and
child are reported as doing nicely.
Hugo says he will tackle Butch first on
labor day, and if he wins, he will run
sack race with me. Nix come heraus,
Herr Katzenjamer. No sack race for mine.
See?
The motor truck made several trips to
the fair ground during the week. Last
Thursday they broke all former records for
speed. Left here at o'clock in the morn
ing, and were back in the prison yard
at 11:30.
Captain Volmer is very busy at present
with house cleaning. The cell house has
been scraped from top to bottom, and
whitewashed all over. Of course Old
Hutch was bossing the job, and it is a
great improvement.
Heine and Doc are the two best natured
guys in captivity. You are in position
to know, Mr.. Ed, that they have their
hands full at all times. Yet, whenever
you see either of them, you can also see a
big broad smile on their faces.

THE parole breakers from this institution
are not so numerous as few months ago.
Men are going out with the avowed inten-
ton of staying out. The parole breaker is
not very desirable citizen to those who
have not had chance, and it looks as
though the men who are now getting pa
roles are aware of this fact. Then again
they may not be working for their good
alone, but with the resolve to help make it
easier for the rest of us to get chance?

The MIRROR is weekly paper published in
the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded in
1887 by the prisoners and is edited and managed
by them. 1t aims to be a home newspaper; to
encourage moral and intellectual improvement
among the prisoners to acquaint the public with
the TRUE STATUS of the prisoner; to disseminate
psychological information and to aid in dspelling
that prejudice which has ever been the bar SIMS
ter to a fallen mans selfredemption.
