SAME AS US

So popular have the moving pic
lures become that are shown at reg
ular intervals to the inmates of the
Deer Lodge penitentiary through
the courtesy of Warden Frank
Conley, that inmates prefer under
going the worst form of punishment
used in the prison than missing the
shows.
Please Mr.. Conley," said an in
mate recently, throw me in the
dungeon and put me on bread and
water, but don't, don't keep me away
from the moving pictures.
For repeated infraction of the
prison rules, inmates are fined one
or more shows, and so highly held
is the privilege of attending them,
that dicipline is said to have greatly
improved. -Ex.

LIVING AND DYING

Lynn Bell wanted to die for a
cause" He certainly did. He read
reams of romantic fiction having to
do with the picturesque performan-
ces OF gentlemen that invariably
died at the right time and in the
right way. Edmund Burke himself
never lamented more bitterly than
Lynn the passing of the age of chiv-
airy.
Now it happened that there work
ed in the shop with Lynn bespec-
tacled old fellow of quaint appear
ance and quainter notions. To him
Lynn one day confded his dissatis-
faction with the humdrum life and
his yearning to give up the ghost in
some other than the conventional
and commonplace manner. The old
fellow smiled.
Life is humdrum or not, just as
we make it, he declared. For my
part. it has always seemed better
and greater to live fer cause than
to die for it. Men are naturally
gamblers enough to want to take a
chance-and dying doesn't take long
or require much staying power.
Heroes are not bit scarcer today
than in the days of gallivanting
knights or plunder seeking pirates
or buckskinned cowboys and scouts
The youngster who makes man's
fight. that the girl he has induced to
say Yes" may have decent home,
is more a hero than the knight that
was knocked in the head by an ad-
versary to prove the quality of his
affection. The youth who searches
the sea of knowledge that he may
capture the treasures of education
will not suffer IN comparison with
the best of those that hunted pirate
when hunting was good. The fels
low who, confronted with problems
and surrounded with difficulties,
pulls his trusty textbook and fights
them to fare-you- we'll, deserves no
less applause than the most reckless
puncher' that ever died in the CEN
ter of film."
The old man smiled again.
The simon pure heroes. Lynn"
he said, are not so much the fell
lows who die for cause as the fell
lows who live for one. ."-Ex.

visited upon his children, it is nee
essary for them to revert to social
position which is inferior to that to
which they are accustomed, which
all tends to their utter ruin.
No, my friend, it cannot be done,

problem, and this is the way / in-
tend to solve it: Ny experience is
this, that you cannot lose your
identity, therefore | shall adhere to
my present name, it was good
enough for me to get into trouble
with, and | shall be man enough to

place to try and retrieve ones lost
laurels, is before you leave prison,
and not wait until your time is out
or you are paroled.

who will extend a helping hand, If |
will show them that am sincere in
my resolutions t., reclaim my posi-
ton among my fellowmen. | shall

and fight the greatest battle Of my
life, not only for myself will l do
this, but for my loved ones, and for
the men | leave here. | shall show
to the world that though man has
been in prison he can if he will
profit by his mistakes, and living a
clean life, I will not only be help
ing myself. but / will be dong a
great service to my present fellow
inmates. for I intend to blaze the
trail TO reclamation, as it were; aud
| shall always bear in mind not to
try and lose myself, that is to
lose my identity, for 1t is as impos-
sible to run away from ones self as
to make water run up hill. | have
only laid my views bare, for in all
my travels l have been close OBJ

it is my unfettered belief, that when
one tries to hide their past actions.
those actions will, at the most dis
tressing time, appear on the surface.

GAMBLING ON BASEBALL

1t has been the proud boast of the
millions of people in this country
who admire baseball that the game
is conducted honestly and without
taint of gambling. Not that gam
bling has not been a menace to base
ball, because strong efforts have been
made by gamblers to extend their
operations to the ball parks and the
baseball magnates have tried to
make it impossible for gamblers to
make bet anywhere on baseball
property. They have succeeded.
too, in curbing it in the parks.
But, according to the st. Louis
Republic. they will have to do more
than this if they are to save their
business and the good repute of the
game. The Republic says: Gam
bling on baseball results is a petty
mama in St. Louis right now and
is gro wing. 1t mas been estimated
that 10, 900 St. Louisans have lit
tie bet down on some angle Of
every days play in some one OF the
three big leagues. Where there is
so much gam bling there is bound to
be some some big betting and soon
er or later there will be talk of
framed games.' of umpires and
players who have been seem and of
games that have been thrown at
the nod of a gamblers head. This
atmosphere of suspicion will be the
end of baseball if it once covers the
game. The fan who CANDLES is
helping to create it. Year by year
the gamblers, shut away from the
tracks and the prize rings, are ex-
tending their operations. The base.
ball season is long and the oppor-
tunities for harvest for them are
ample. If money will insure an ap-
proximately certain result they are
willing to spend it,"
If the game is TO prosper and en-
joy popular favor. it must be kept
untalnted.- Gambling killed the
race track. 1t has done more than
anything else to outlaw pugillsm.
If permitted to go unchecked it will
put an end to baseball. The fans
should join hands with the baseball
managers to keep gambling out of
the game.
The above article which was taken
from the Duluth Herald in regard
to closing the books" on base ball
games is right. and every American
citizen should do his part to keep
our national game from going the
way of the track. In fact, there is
only one athletic game we know of
in which we never heard of bet
being placed; or being played on
the Sabbath, and that is the game
in which Duluth, ST. Paul and the
Iron Range have taken such prom
inent part and turned out some of
the best players in the world-in
the old Scotch game of curling.

prived by law of his help.
Of course such a plan would
meet with disproval of demagogues,
but honest la Dor would not object
to competition such as this, when
the fruits of prison labor went di-
rectly to aIleviating actual want and
Gid not go to create the fortunes of
those contractors who wax fat on
the prisoners labor.
All of us prison wardens have
changed our ideas in the last few
years and 1t is only the beginning of
q new era for prison life. In other
words when the new man goes to
Drison he will begin an absolutely
new life, on which his past will bave
only such support as he himself
olaces there, and the length of his
ntay will depend on the impression
he makes to the judges of the insti-
tuition, for today we reform men; not
punish them.
The short time have been here
as guest of Mr.. Wolfer, / have
written several letters to people en-
gagged in prison reform telling them
10 come to- Saltwater and see for
themselves what a model prison
you have. | am also glad that the
National Prison Congress Conver-
ton which is to be held in ST. Paul,
October 3 to s, is 80 near this prison
for then they can see for themselves
what monument you have here.
am glad that Warden Wolfer
has decided TO resign for lie has
been hard worker in this line for
over forty years. and is the oldest
prison warden in actual service in
the world, and before l resigned |
was second. | have known him for
~ years, and have watched hun
climb to the top and it gives me
much pleasure to see him today
the warden of the greatest institu-
ton in the world.
In regard to his successor; if |
had looked the world over, and
am acquainted with most of the
prison men, | would have picked
the man your state decided on
Mr.. Charles S. Reed, whom | have
watched for years, and his progress
has been well merited, for | don't
know of another man who will take
rp the work laid down by Mr.. VOL
fer with less jar than THIS same man.
n want to congratulate the state on
securing the services of the former
ST. Cloud reformatory superinten-
dent"
Seeing that 1t was overtaxing the
Major little to talk. on account of
his cold, we thanked him heartily
for all the inmates here and once
more we heard the big gates" close
on us for how long we know not.

THE JUNCLES OF PANAMA

There are jungles in Panama.
stretching away from the banks Of
Gatun Lake, as dense and myster-
ious as those Of Africa. The only
canal men who know the jungles
intimately are-the surveyors who
have charted the topography of the
watershed, or who have made spe-
cial Investigations at various points.
One of these men ls Mr.. O. E. Mails
bury, who is in charge of the land
surveys under Colonel Goethals. In
speaking of the jungle recently, in
the New York Sun, he said:
When try to become definite
about the Jungle, | realize how lit
tie even a man who has seen much
of it knows about its life. There
are strong impressions of beauty,
mystery. and fear, lure with
menace, smile that only half COW
ers a snarl-and everything else
that ! know about tue jungle can
be told in a few isolated incidents
that have happened to pass under
my notice.
An orchid beckons from the
branch of tree, a pair of wild pigs
dash away into the brush, tiger
cat shows its bright eyes for a mo-
ment, and, in fash of sinewy grace,
Is gone. Birds dart overhead, the
heron balances daintily on reed
by the river, ar alligator slides from
mud bank into the water, mon
keys lark in the trees, lion growls
such slight things sum up my
jungle here.
One hour, the sur looks through
trees and bushes, and traces a thou
sand patterns on the ground; the
next, rattle of rain on the leaves is
deafening. Night falls, and the par
akeets, crickets, frogs. lizards begin
their unending chorus; then the
howl of monkeys add to the din,
and now and again the cry of the
wildcat and the growing bark of
the mountain lion make man glad
that he is beside bright fire with
his machette or gun close at hand.
The lion of the Panama jungle is
of two kinds black and tawny.
Full grown, he stands thirty inches
high. His breast is broad, like that
of bulldog; his legs are long; his
head is square, but cat1ike. He
gfowls like lion, but ends with a
bark. | never heard of his attack
ing man, but the natives of the
jungle fear him. He would be
dangerous adversary at close quar-
ters. The only way to be certain
that be will not attack man is to
try one out. Personally, 1 don't
care enough for the knowledge to
risk the experiment.

"a Butterfly On The Wheel" Next
Monday AT The Colonial.


"A Butterfly On The Wheel" will
be seen Monday, March 9th, at the
Colonial, being interpreted by
specially selected cast gathered to
gether with great care. Never was
more intense interest displayed when
this play was brought from London
and presented before a New York
audience. Opinions were divided as
TO It's success in this country until
the opening night when all doubts
were removed by the warmth of the
reception accorded not only the COM
pany but every act of the play.
A commendable thing about "A
Butterfly On The Wheel" is the fact
that interest progresses. The really
big" scene shows the interior of a
court room where occurs the trial of
Peggy Admission" who is sued for
divorce by her husband, a member of
Parliament. Soon the act settled
down into duel between the accused
wife and her husbands attorney,
which ends In the co..apse of the
'frail witness.
The character of Peggy" I'm spite
OF her frivolity is really a lovabIe
specimen of a butterfly fiuttering
about the stage until the purpose of
her lover and her husbands discov-
cry that they (the man who is named
as correspondent and Peggy were to-
gether in a Paris hotel made her
serious. In the scene of the trial
the character denotes a moving sug-
gestion of helplessness and the des-
perate chances against her, while
weakness in her struggles to get a
hearing against such odds, her pathe-
tic outbreak in the court room and
her final abandonment to complete
despair, followed by her physical col
lapse, creates a sympathy that grows
tronger when ii is seen how futile
her efforts prove to clear herself of
guilt.
