Then to work again. For two endless
hours knelt in the mud and slime and
listened to metal voice, telling of FIRE,
ruin, death and destruction; creeping, halt

with distance and distractions on its Journey

out and over the desert and mountain, and

The noise of early diners in the little
grill had ceased Breathless and silently,
many of the patrons had sat at the nearby
tables and listened with abated breath, as
Billy. with the terror of that night living
again upon his contenance talked on.
"Boy's, I'm not a praying man; but
down in that hell-hole of mud, slime, sew

myself, but that the wires that SO precious
lay between my fingers would hold out and
tell the story of death and annialation SO
many miles away. When the current be-
came weak and the code beat out its feeble
message like the pulse of dying man,
nursed it with my fingers as mother would

the storm overhead whipped and tore in its
madness to destroy, stopped little lower

wiping his hands on the Office tow

patience of Job who was not job

ness that it may be picked up, and
in no case be found wanting; keep
our circulation up to healthy stand
ard that will need DO padding. Give
us our daily bread but deliver us
from pi, at any price; deliver us
from throwing mud at the opposing
candidates, but help us paste them,
and when at last our forms are lock-

put to press in such manner as to
leave clean and lasting impress
sion upon mankind. Amen!"

AS TO THE CAZETTE'S STAB
Old Prison, June II, 1914.

Old Prison, June II. 1914.
Editor The Mirror, Sir:-
Apropos of your editorial in last week
issue, anent the comments of the "Still-
water Gazette upon the new rules pro-
mulgated by Warden Wolfer, we wish to
congratulate you upon your able presenta-
ton of the 'retort courteous.
Coming as it does from quarter, which
by all rules in the game of life, should be
friendly and encouraging toward every eff
fort manifested by the great commonwealth
of Minnesota in its endeavors to make less
asperous the regeneration of its impaired
units, there is no questioning the fact that
the i'll advised criticisms have touched a
tender spot; for many of us here have been
subscribers to the Gazette and have hitherto
held high respect for the school of journal
ism for which it stands.
Assuredly the fish must have been biting
bad, or the editorial equanimity must have
been in some other manner ruffled; for it is
hard to credit the commission of this fdur
pas to mind which under ordinary normal
conditions works by sane methods.
The editor of the Gazette as well as ev-
cry observer of the conduct of this institu-
ton should be we'll aware that every rule
and regulation adopted by the management
here is constructive in its character, that is
they proceed from the teaching of expert
ence; in formulating them, care is taken
that the paramount interest of the state is
conserved, and there is that quality attach
ed to them, which compels genuine acqui-
escence on our part, and increases our indi-
vidual self respect in so doing.
We could easily dismiss the sting i'm
parted if we adopt the course of ignoring
the unfavorable criticism of contemporary
which, measured by the standards of the
country's progressive press, suffers in COM
parison when INDUCING in such tactics. but,
l repeat, quite number of us have been
consistent admirers of the luminary who
sways the policies of the Gazette, and can
not account for its reversal of form.
The great Dana (pere) of the N. Y. Sun
created the famous Office cat, to which un-
fortunate animal all sins of omission and
remission committed in that organ were at
tributed. Perhaps it would not be amiss,
in this case, to recommend Carter's Little
Liver Pills, Cascarets, or some such other
mild solvent.
Respectfully, Marco Polo.
