Foreman E. Strebel took on ~ during the
holiday festivities.
These are busy days for Assistant Super
intendent Hurley and his men. They have
been working overtime installing the new
lathe and the picker.
When it comes to chivalry Mr. Henderson
is surely fnll fedged knight. At least,
that is the conclusion we arrived at after
witnessing his chaperoning party of ladies
through the factory the other day.
We are sorry we cannot go into details
and announce the winner of the prize fol
the month of December, but at this writing,
the figures have not all been computed.
However, the Editor in all probabilities,
will be able to announce the winner in his
news column.
1t is seldom one can be both pleased and
sorry at one occurrence. With the departure
of Mr. B. today, Thursday for his home
in the sunny south we are happy he is on
his way to Join his loved ones, but we fee
sorry to lose his cogenial companionship.
IS that new leaf still clean?
The following is an extract from an
address by Ex-Governor Patterson. Is il
a word picture of your own life?
''Going through life | heve seen whiskey
drag down many of the associates of my
boyhood, blasting their hopes and consign-
ing them to untimely graves. | have seen
its forked lighting strike my best and
dearest friends. At last l have felt its foul
and stealthy blow as it turned upon me in
its deadly and shaming wrath. ~

The singing by the members of the or

ed it, but there is just one thing that has
always been hard for us to understand; why
is it that all double bass players invariably
sing first tenor. and the E fiat cornetist
chimes in with a rich basso profundo?
Maybe Uncle John or Butch can explain it.

There is no wit or humor in anything that

Two of the boys from this shop were

There has been several matches made for

Supt. Williams, accompanied by two
ladies, passed through this shop one day
last week.
Frenchy, our foreman, has his hands full

other day, walked in, turned around and
walked right out again. Looked like he
was lost.
Windy has been promoted to second
grade, while ]. K. and ]. D. have been re-
duced to third grade.
Windy B. becomes our barber and will

tonsorial artist as he does a Irvine twister
his success in his new position is assured.

OLD PRISON NEWS NOTES

stone walls and steel bars cannot cure or pre-
vent crime it would hasten the day when
man that has gone wrong and sincerely
desires to retrieve the past, may receive from
society in general that moral and material
support which he so much needs in his
effort to become good citizen.
Speech is silver but silence is golden-an
old proverb that those in prison would do
well to remember when they seek place to
work. The story of the unsuccessful eff
forts of recently discharged convict SO ably
related by my friend the Duke of Washing
ton only emphasizes the we'll known atti
tude of most business men toward those
who have stumbled ard fell by the wayside
of Life.
My advice, don't tell any one you have
been in prison. Get your start in an hon
est life first and then, if necessary you can
tell the whole truth to those who have a
right to the information, thus not only
strengthen your own moral character
but gain the esteem and respect of those
with VIII ,m you are associated.

Oh Where! Oh Where! has Leroy gone?

like to know.
All "Don" from Kentuck needs now is
a pair of ear muffs and foot warmer, and
he will be fixed for winter.
By the way Croix it was our seventh Xmas
at the silent City still we have firm faith
in the humanity of man to man.
Frank says he don't want any more candy
until next Xmas. Same here but we hope
to eat it under our own vine and fig tree.
When we hear some one "crack' about
"simps' we always feel like reminding
them that we are all ''wise guys behind
the big high walls.
Hank w. claims to be the best spinner
in this shop and if A No. 1, Irvine
counts, he is. No breakdowns in the No.

Mrs. M. L. Clark known to many of the
men here as 'The Minneapolis Mother
remembered her boys with Xmas cards this
year as usual. Thanks from all the boys.

believe me every one of us appreciate the
music. But for the love of Mike next
time give us warning when those sweet

so we won't run our fork in our ears when
we look up in surprise and wonder.

St Croix's
New Years Preachments

Resolve:-rhat prison is no place for
you; that you will fight to the last ditch for
the better development of tire good that,
beyond question, is inherent in every living
SOUL and therefore must be in you.
Resolve, that no enemy shall be strong
enough to overcome you, and seek first for
such presence within the sanctuary of your
own heart.
Resolve, to make only such resolutions
as experience has taught, or reason con-
frmed in you of belief that you can live
up to.
Resolve also, that he whose purpose is,
or may be to villify or SANDER you, to in
stead of seeking to venge your wrath on
that one, turn your back and ignore him, tor
he is not worthy your indignation and you
should not countenance his presence even
by so much as a show of front to hiIn.
The evil that is done unto you, must, in
the absolute law, become your strongest
weapon, since its force is its source, ane.
hence can only be most effective when its
evolutionary span has ceased, by the fact
that it returns to its creator.
Resolve again, to honor him who would
honor you, or who willingly comes across
with an encouraging word, helping hand,
or generally God-fearing, brotherly ex-
preston of man-love in both his thought
and deed done in behalf of you.
Resolve too, TO betray no condolences of
a true brother; to hold sacred the word OF
one whom you have come to know to be
what he would have you believe him to be.
Resolve furthermore, to hold nothing of
hypocrisy in your attitude, your speech, or
your deeds.
1t is better you battle in the open, de-
nounce in the open what you believe to be
hypocrisical; deceiving,-for the greatest of
human standards is the standard of principle,
and no man can entirely remove from you
this most blessed of coverings for our weak,
human nakednesS-the tried and not found
wanting thing-principle.
Though you lose often, yet you lose in
the open, since you stood your ground in
the open, but there are those who will rally
round your standard, since they will have
come to know you as true to the highest
principle.
Resolve: -That brother who needs you
is friend, whom it should be your delight
to serve, since the reward GAS you do
unto the least of these, so also will my
Father which is in Heaven, do unto you.
To remember that all things which are evil
have a source, and all things which are
good likewise spring from somewhere with
in the sphere of Divine influence, it should
be easier for you and me to resolve to help,
each needy one wherever he may be and to
aid by every instinct within us to thwart
any evil design of would-be disabler,
destroyer, or deceiver of any kind, in any
position.
Resolve, '',o stand by the right, as God
gives you to see the right, and; "Id
rather be right than be president, adopt as
your motto; for right is truth, justice. and
honor, which any man wherever he be can
and should embrace.
Black Sheep; there is abundant hope for
you now. l resolve to give what have
toward strengthing that hope.
