The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1914-01-08

The Dodge County (Minn.) Star ran clipping
from an exchange last week which gives it's readers
the startling information that the Lenten season
will be shorter this than usual owing to the
season of fasting beginning earlier; giving the date
of Easter March 23rd This certainly comes as
interesting news to many of who always supposed
that the Lenten season contained the number
of days every year, matter how early it began,
also to learn that Easter of 1914 comes on March
23rd. Our almanac gives different dates. Ash
Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent.
will be February 25th and Easter April 18th. The
Stars exchange table must contain papers year
old; Easter last year March 23rd.

DON'T PLAGIARIZE, MARY

- HE Reformatory Press, published by the
inmates OF the Iowa state reformatory at
Anamosa. recently contained very beau
II t1ful poem entitled If We Knew I'M
pressed by the title, we proceeded to read
the verses and were surprised to find that
four of the six which composed the
RI poem not the product of the brain
of the young woman who laid claim to
their authorship but were lines familiar to
us from childhood written by Miss Phoebe
Carey and which have probably been
memorized by school children with much
profit to themselves. for many years. The
first verse of the poem transposed in this
be last and those that followed in Miss Careys
rangement, made to follow one which probably
original with the contributor but that did not
conceal their identity. Here is the first of the ia
miliar verses:
"Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around path;
Let us keep the wheat and
Casting the thorns and chah
Let us find sweetest comfort
In the blessings of today,
With patient hand removing
All the brars from way
The young lady who appropriated Miss Careys
lines and claimed them as her probably did not
realize that in doing she guilty of plagiarism,
al almost objectionable literary sin. Our advice to
you Miss Mary, is cultivate your poetic talent by
writing the produc, of your brain. 1t will pay
you to do so-and It's honest.

l.. HAT portion of Doctor Vincent's address
wv on New Years day impressed you most?
We have asked this question of many in
mates and received replies almost broad
the field covered by the distinguished
president of the Minnesota University.
Some thought the foot ball game furnished
most enthusiasm, others the war game be-
tween the British reds and whites, while
others still were, like Marco Polo carried
away by the speakers remarkable and
realistic description of the Spanish bull
fight.
How many have thought of that splen-
did address since leaving the auditorium New Years
morning? How many Of us have learned something
from it-found in it something than the beauty
OF well formed sentences eloquently and forcibly
delivered? Have found the lesson, and after
finding it have digested it in the quiet and soil
tude which our cells afford?
To notion, the real meat in Doctor Vincent's
address was reserved to the last and furnished
peroratiOn never equaled here, and seldom any
where else. We refer to his definition of the
sportsman and the sport, in which he cleverly
showed the difference between the man who totes
fair in any game-particularly the game of life
and the other fellow who is full of brag and buster
and is ever ready to take advantage of weaker
tagonist in order to add glory himself, increase
his profits agran dize his position.
1t was here that the speaker left with us les
son that should give food for thought not for few
moments, day. week year; should carry
it with the rest of cur hves The game of life is
worth the battle, and should put our whole heart
in our efforts to win at every stage; but should
tote fair and unless do, the victory we may
think close at hand will suddenly be changed into
dire defeat and an ignominious end. We should
cultivate the DESIRE then the habit of being sports
man, not sport-a man of honor. not thug.
