By Count Gren Ella

Gee! I'm bubblng all over, happy dear
"Rover" if can't get it off IL bust.
We We won our last game and that seems
plain, when Mr.. Whelan said we must.
He coached us five days on different hard
plays, and said the game was ours; we ran
and threw learned something new, believe
muh, in few hours. Said to him, dep
if we win, let Patrick open the start.
They think l no easy Pat curves are
greasy, if not II take part.
Give Pat some credit, let out the debit.
he played his game and hard. And don
forget JOnes-aw, quit throwing stones
he's good, now amt he, Pard? / give
them credit each, one and all, gee! l m
happy as lark! We've won the game,
it sure is plain; just hear that dog. Duke,
bark Some time ago certain DO wished
to know what was wrong with us; could
we run? could we hit? could we throw?
he most had a fit! but today-he is making
no fuss.
To be good you need sand. fight to beat
the band; good practise now and then.
Said the shOrtstop to me, I'VE won it you
see,' as he shook me by the hand.
There's nothing wrong with the Green
Sox, just give them little show. They Ii
play better next year, SO give them a
good cheer, said the Deputy. 81 said SO.
Before quit, wish to say, the Colts are
sports that all; they smile and laugh.
shout and chaff whenever they drop the
ball.
It's the way to play, that's what l say;
don't knock cause a man makes tumble;
little cheer whisper in his ear. and may
be he II take tumble. The roOters done
fine along third base line thew showed the
right kind of spirit I only wish summer
was here but, WOW! when we get near it.
Bow! 1 am feel'n' good, MIR. Whelan,
cheers for you, and the Green Sox-
hurrah! for them all, they played good
ball with Patty in the box.
I'd like to pen sixty verses more but
my darned old pipes went out. So good
night to you, now l II take a good chew,
for they say it will cure my govt. l SIM
ply don't know whether this will be pub
lished, if tisn t II surely speak out; Ill
see you next Sat. and take off my hat and

All over some town,
Looking for some trouble
In our cups to drown;
Yet disappointment

So, bling! we just drowned that
What relief!
Yet can we smile
When jokes are vile,
Unless we're feeling mellow?
But a fool can shine

And be helluva fellow.

'PIckUPs AND PUNCHES
By Uncle John

Thanks, General Stonewall, for the COM
pliment.
What's the matter with Jonsie2 He is
alright and then some!
Chief Engineer Schatz visited the library
last Saturday looking over and inspecting
the electric lights.
Asst. Deputy .Whelan escorted party of
ladies' through all the various department of
The prison last Friday.
Duke was very much disappointed dog
last wednesday, he could not get near the
band, although he tried his best to do so.
General M ,nager Bourne visited the IL
brary last Friday with party of friends,
they also visited the hospital and green
house.
The band boys gave the inmates of the
hospital a concert last Wednesday which all
enjoyed very much. The sick boys ought
to have concert every week.
Night Guard Hinton of cell hall A, is
away on his vacation, and he will sure make
good use of his ten DAYS, as he is going to
get married. Congratulations.
In changing your cells, especially from
one cell house to the other remember that
it is your duty to also change your library

Florist King, of the green house knows
how to put up nice boquet of flowers; that
was the finest boquet in the auditorium last
Sunday, we have seen since we left the old
place.
Did any one of you ever see short stop
Jones do anything else in the park, but at
tend to his business? 1t would be we'll if a
few other players would follow his example,
enough said.
Guard Phibrooks escorted his cousin of
St. Paul, who is head nurse in hospital of
that city, and a party of other nurses
through the institution last Thursday, he
showed them the library and other depart
ments of interest.
That was the best ball game last Saturday
we have seen this season. Of course there
is reason-a little practice makes all the
difference in the world, and Asst. Deputy
Whelan deserves whole lot of credit for
winning the game.
1t is strange but true, it seems so-as if
all the trouble makers were all gone, for
there were none out in the PARK Saturday
You could travel, all over the country and
YOU would not find better fellowship than
that existing here among the inmates.
We certainly have reason to feel proud of
our little Editor. There is great improve
ment, and it is up to us to help him all we
can to make 1t still better.
Right you are Uncle John! Every num-
her is an extra edition, compared to the for
mer scissors kind.-G. S.
We have made note of this once before:
Weekly papers circulate, or run FIVE days
from the day received-now, if you keep
them yourself three or more days, don't put
a dozen numbers on them and then go and
tell four of your friends that you send them
your papers, YOU are to blame if they do
not get them.

 SAN FRANCISCO. March ls.-Pro-
 fessor McMurtrie, who has just re-
 turned from q tour of the Philippine
 islands, where he has been studying
 local conditions of government. says
 that so far the occupation of the isl-
 ards by the United States has been
 of little benefit to the natives and of
 nc benefit whatever to this country.
 He puts the blame for the entire
 failure of the United States govern
 nent to accomplish any good In the
 islands upon tho several policies which
 have been carried out by tho different
 Washington administrations that have
 attempted to handle the situation and seys that the great trouble ia that we have taken the wrong view of the nativc of tho islands, his character
 and aims. Professor AfcATurtrie does not believe that any man or commit tee of men in Washington or any Am- erican party platform. be it democrat ic republican or progressive. will ever settle the question of government in the islands of tho Pacific.
 In the first place the men who make plans for the future of tho Filipinos have absolutely no first hand knowl- edge of conditions in the islandfs or of tho nativc character. Even the few government officials who have trav- eled to tho islands for tho purpose of becoming familiar with conditions have gained most of their knowledge from the window of the club in Manila or from q nasty tour of fnspec- ton with m escort Of government troops and insular officials.
 Prof. McMurtrie sees in the Phil lipine islands a repetition of the pol icy which wns carried out in the early days of the occupation of tho country belonging to the Indians of the west, when all legislation and laws effcct- ing the red men were made by peo- pie in Washington without the slight est personal knowledge of conditions on the reservations. and carried out by men appointed for political reasons who had no interest in their work other than the salary attached to the position and neither knew nor desired to know anything about the Indian. his life, character or viewpoint.
 McMurtrie says for instance that from tho very beginning of the Amer ican occupation it has been the cus- tcmary to dcal with great licnicncyI with native outlaws and leaders of revolutionary movements and native This the natlvo cannot nn- serstand and hc puts 1t down to n weakness in the Ameri- rans which cxcites his contempt rather Ihan his respect. Tn this connection he savant cites several recent cam- paigns wherein the government has been put to much expense and the ises of many soldiers hnvo been sac- 'l'icnd ir crdcr to capture some out aw chef guilty of the Erossest out eges and murders. After the bandit murderer has been captured md hisI dIsarmed and scnt hack to hcir villages the lender has usually zen given thorough lecture on the vis Of outlawry and tho blessing of Inerican institutions and then ap- ointed to sone petty offlcs among
