PICKUPS AND PUNCHES
By Uncle John

sSSS0
The music last Sunday was sure fine, at
least everybody say SO.
Master Rosing, of the front Office es-
corted large party of visitors around last
Saturday.
Mr.. DesauteIs showed personal friend
the inside of our large institution last Satur-
day afternoon
State Agent Whittier escorted a lady
friend through the institution last Thurs
day morning.
A new desk was placed in the main cor
ridor between the cell houses A and B for
the deputy's use.
Mex has at last promised to be good,
and has been promoted to cell hall A to
clean the windows.
The optician was at the institution for
several days during the week and fitted out
quite few inmates with new glasses.
Ye editor and the weather man must
have made an agreement together. Every
time his force is up for beating it rains.
And now comes the information that De-
putty Backland walked eleven miles last Sat-
urday morning from seven till eleven o clock
huh. What next.
Pitcher, Beau Esprita, pitcher. You
ought to know that without asking such a
fool question. If you don't believe it, ask
the head waiter.
How is this for trio. Helligram, Paddy
and Pendennis and Duke for company.
They ought to be able to make things hum
now in the deputys Office.
The muckers' union is now busily en-
gagged in front of the machine shop laying
out the road bed and clearing away all the
wood work and the heaps of dirt.
Notice-there- are some of the inmates
who are in the habit of writing in and tear
ing the covers from the library books. Be
careful that does not happen again.
Ten men were transferred to the new in
stitution last Saturday, and among them
was our old friend Pendennis. How do
you like your new quarters, Charlie.
There has been general clean up
around the hospital during the week. Sew
eral trees cut down and the rest trimmed
up nicely. Everything looks neater.
Mrs. Wolfer, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Wolfer, with their little boys visited the
auditorium last Saturday afternoon and the
orchestra played selection for them which
they appreciated very much.
Assistant Deputy Picullel escorted Mr..
and Mrs. White of Minneapolis, and Miss
Margie White, daughter of Guard White
fro q ho Ill ho
ments last Thursday morning.
Warden Wolfer, Mr.. Frank Wolfer, Mr..
Caldwell and severel other guests of the war
den were visitors in the dining hall Sun
day during dinner time and listened to the
music furnished by the orchestra.
there are quite few who hold the ex-
changes beyond their allotted time, which
is strictly against the rules. Remember
there are others who want to read the pa
pers and magazines.
You must be aware, Beau, that every
thing down here is strictly up to date. Why
mention your one old electric fan in the
front Office, it was there twenty years ago,
and old Hutch had to work overtime for
three days to keep in motion.
When ordering library books see that
you put sufficient numbers on your slip, so
that we may be able to fill your order. A
good many only put three or four numbers
on the slip, and as these books may be up
in the old prison, we can't supply them.
One thing we all ought to appreciate, and
that is that each inmate can lock up his
own property. Of course that doesn't
mean to say that there are thieves in this
place, but nevertheless it takes an expert to
get at your things, as each locker has diff
ferent key, and no two alike in the whole
place.
