INMATES, WE'RE PROUD OF YOU

believe that the spirits of our departed
loved ones see and know what is
II = transporting on earth-see, know and feel
the sorrows and happiness of their dear
ones left behind. If this be true, the ac-
ton of six hundred and fourteen in
mates of this institution last Friday has
certainly brought JOY to those mothers
who have passed away, as it will surely
fill the hearts of those who still live, with
pride and gratitude.
Nothing like it has ever occurred in
prison before; no incident has ever been
recorded in prison history which so clearly demon
strates that prisoners behind the walls are in no
way different from other folks, but are notwith-
standing their unfortunate condition, endowed
with the same sense of love and gratitude as rules
the most learned minds of the social world.
All that was required was mere suggestion
by the Mirror, that the wearing of a carnation on
Mothers Day would be appropriate as a mark of
respect to her memory and in her honor. We
pointed out the fact that of the inmates were
not in position to buy their own flower, and sug-
gested that fund be created by popular sub
scription. The Mirror was read by the men in
their cells on Thursday night in less than three
hours after going to their respective shops Friday

requested their officers to place their names on the
subscription list In less than three hours, over
two hundred and fifty dollars was contributed
Remarkable you say? Yes, in many ways it
was remarkable remarkable in the fact that there
was no urging required upon the part of anyone
to cause these inmates to loose their purse strings
Merely an appeal from their family paper which
touched their hearts, brought out this enthusiastic
response. Would a similar appeal made by even
the most influential newspaper in America have
met with such generous result! Would the we'll
filled purses of those outside who can we'll afford
it have opened promptly and as freely? Re-
markabe! Yes, it may appear remarkable to
you beyond the walls who are unacquainted with
the hearts of men, who have never come in con-
tact with those who are longing for kind word,
prove they are still human.
If the Mirror had asked for three times the
amount it would have been as willingly given We
know this, because many of the men begged to
contribute as much as five dollars instead of one:
and when you consider what five dollars means to
twenty and twenty-five cents day; and comes to
him as the fruit of his long, weary days of prison
toll. you can better understand the sincerity of
that mans heart and the earnestness of his desire
to show honor and respect to the memory of his
mother.
We are proud of this achievements We are
proud of the men,

THE CHAUTAUQUA
Last Meeting Held at Old Prison-Discussior
of Mexican Situation

The Chautauqua Circle met in the
chapel hall at the old prison last
Sunday with twenty members pres
ent.
The allotted time was given over
to thorough and interesting dis
cussion of the Mexican situation, in
which each member participated.
At the close of the meeting, four
members of the orchestra rendered
an instrumental selection which was
enjoyed by all.
This meeting was, subject to the
approval of Warden Wolfer. the
last to be held at the old prison, due
to the number of members soon to
be transferred to the new prison.
1t was moved and carried that
the Circle stands adjourned until
President M, shall call the Circle
to order at the new prison." when
it will again take up it's work, and
with the enrolment of the many
new members now at the new prison,
will in it's twenty~tifth year, continue
to stand on the pinnacle of success,
the height it has attained the past
year. A. j. F., Sec'y.

It is serious thought and one which the
mothers of today should take home to themselves
and ponder over carefully. New conditions have
sprung up which in manner tend to transform
the position as we'll as the condition of women.
Bright lights of greater activity flashing with
an alluring glare, reckoning the mothers of today
and the mothers of tomorrow to leave the making
of the home to other hands than theirs and take
place in the ranks of those who seek TO frame and
carry on the worlds work.
Is the game worth the candle! If the broad
ening of woman's field of activities means less
time to be spent at home will the love and affec-
ton of the children be as devout as that which
YOU hold for YOUR mother! Will YOUR influence
in directing their young lives be as strong do YOU
think, as YOUR mothers was?
There are, oh! so many boys at Red Wing and
girls at Sank Centre who would not be there TODAY
if they had had the loving and always ready hand
OF a Christian mother to guide them. There are
hundreds of men in this prison who can trace
their downfall to the absence of mother in the
home The father may be ever so loving and
kind, and willing to sacrifice all for his little ones
but with it all, the child looks to mother as the
guiding star of it's life Her mind must reach
down and direct, her hand point out the way

Uncle Sam Ready
NOT TAKING CHANCES

The warning forces are playing
waiting and watching game along
the Rio Grande and the coast line OF
Mexico; waiting to give the repre-

fair chance to arbitrate the 1isput-

sible, a satisfactory understanding
between the United States and the
Mexican powers.
Huerta has signlfied his willing
ness to abide by the decision of the
commissioners providing it does not
necessitate his giving up the dicta-
torship.
The Washington government has
plainly stated that nothing short OF
BUSTING Huerta from the throne will
satisfy so there you are.
Carranza. who for a time was
willing to cease hostilities, has, with

patient and now says he will not be
a party to any agreement which af-
fects the territory he has acquired
or which might mean the surrend-

eliminated from consideration by the
the peace commissioners.
In the meantime, your Uncle
Sam is going right ahead making
preparations for conflict. General
Funston is in command of the

cities of Mexico are practically all

warships. No man can tell what

ROOSEVELT EAGER TO FIGHT.

A Berlin dispatch to the New
York Times says that Colonel
Roosevelt is eager to get into the
fray in Mexico, according to an
American official now in Berlin,
who saw the former president few
weeks ago in South America. He
says that the commander of the
rough riders announced his inlen-
ton, in the event of hostilities with
Mexico, of going home at the earl
lest moment and fighting for his
country.
Colonel Roosevelt, who, if he car
ries out his plan, will again serve
under his friend, Leonard Wood,
who was his colonel in Cuba, said
that he intended to organize and
lead an entire brigade of cavalry
for service in Mexico instead of a
regiment. He said that he had his
officers all selected.

men and women of us all as we say
| am thinking of you, my darling mother; and
as think will write just as if you were in that
home which you made beautiful; and 1 shall
speak it aloud as 1 write, just as if you were by
my side.
AS sit here thinking back into the days when
my memory stops and the stories of my babyhood
began, know that my love for you was founded
upon my confidence in you; for in those helpless
hours when my physical being wanted help you
gave it to me- when hunger caught me, you fed
me out of your strength; when my eyes
dropped rested them because your eyes looked
down and assured security. At that time you
instilled in me the subtle consciousness of safety
and a surety of guardianship which grew from the
physical into the mental and made possible the
first real smile or laugh upon my lips.
AS grew and slipped along and become the
waddling youngster of hundred faults, found
new meaning in your care For then came upon
me the feeling that always in your presence there
was aid as we'll safety; that when stairs were
steep and little legs tired mothers hand
reached down. When worn out by the long days
play your sweet voice lulled me into Sunderland
with hymns you loved so we'll. And when fever
ragged and my hot head and little sick body tossed
upon the bed, your ministering and all assuring
presence, night and day, restored me to health.
And next, in the later days of the first full
reign of youth, | learned direction. l learned
that HERE good travelling, and THERE was evil
ways and mire; that HERE was benefit and THERE

know that this bond is as old as the EARTH and as
young as the newest born. And it is as gloriously
comforting to realize that it belongs to no time

A GRAND SENTIMENT
Governor Hatfield's Proclamation of Mothers
Day q Literary Gem

Governor Hatfield's Proclamation of Mothers
Day . Literary Gem
One Of the best proclamations we
have ever read, setting aside day
to be observed in honor of our
mothers, is that issued by Governor
Hatfield of West Virginia. 1t
breathes the spirit of the man in
every line.
A Proclamation to the People
of the State of West Virginia,
Greeting:-
Amid the busy, perplexing scenes
of life there is always with us the
comforting, cheering thought that
whatever else may betide, whatever
misfortune may overtake us, there
is always one who never betrays nor
forsakes. The sweet. tender, divine
love of Mother abides and endures,
to counsel and console when all else
has failed. Her sanity voice may
have long since been silenced by
death, but the memory of her prayers,
her kindly advice and love, is with
us still and is the most noble in
f1uence in our lives. No condition
has ever lessened that love or de-
stroyed Mothers faith in her child.
In prosperity the love of Mother
gives increased joy; in poverty it
brings encouragement; in despair,
cheer and gladness, and when
mantled in the shadow of death the
love and devotion of Mother gives
faith and hope.
That we may for time turn our
hearts and minds to her who has
blessed, loved and sacrificed for us,
that we may pay tribute to her sacred
memory if she be not living, and if
living, that we may manifest our
appreciation of her love and de-
votion, |, Henry d. Hatfield, Gov
ernor of the State of West Virginia,
do hereby designate and proclaim
Sunday, May 10 1904, Mothers
Day and recommend that it be OBJ
served by appropriate services in all
of the churches and other places of
worship throughout the state.
In testimony whereof, | have here
unto signed my name and caused the
Less Seal of the State to be affixed.
Done at the Capitol in the City of
Charleston, this, the eleventh day of
April, in the year Of our Lord, one
thousand, nine hundred and fourteen,
and of the state the fifty first.

HIS MOTHERS HAND.

In an accident on a skyscraper
which was being erected in New
York city a young lad. signal boy,
displayed great heroism. Perched
on steel beam. eleven stories in
the air, by quick handling of some
of his apparatus he saved the lives
of three of his comrades.
Subsequently, a business man
who learned of his act took an in
terest In him and offered him a
chance to advance in work which
he accepted. This business man
questioned him about his past and
what hal most served to form his
character. In the course of what
he had to say in reply. the lad
stated:
My mothers hand has always
seemed to guide mel have never
lost It's Influence"
Perhaps he did not think he was
paying any particular tribute to his
mother, but his thought of what she
had been to him was beautiful,
just.

injunction, containing a depth of
significance not always grasped by
the careless.
In the development of life the
mother-heart and the mother-hand
play wonderful part. From the
white-swathed cradle to the open
ing grave. their power is to be felt,
and it is pitiful to see him, know
him, who has forgotten the mother
love which gave him to the world
with tears and hope. Such forget
fulness is inexcusable, almos: unpar-
donable, for none rise so high. from
farm and mill to the throne of a
king, that the warm. rich, enduring
love of mother can be ignored.
To her, more than to any queen
of earth's kingdoms, the heart
should be raised in everlasting trib-
ute for her courage and self sacri-
fee for another. She stands above
all other womanhood.

HIS MOTHER.
A Boy Pays Highest Tribute to His
Mothers Loving Guidance.

Judge Lindsey, of Denver. tells a
striking incident of little fellow
who was before his court and was
many. many times admonished about
trusncy from school. The teacher
kept writing, however, that nothing
had been accomplished and that
Tim seemed bound to work and let
school go.
One day, in reproving him, the
judge said: Now. Tim, there Will
be time enough to work when you
are man." The boy answered
like flash: My father was man,
and did not work. He went off
and left mother and me, and l guess
that's what killed her too.
Finally after breaking every in
struction, Tim appeared in court
one day with changed expression,
his face ablaze with satisfaction.
Walking up to the Judge he pulled
from his pocket dirty piece of pa
per, all crumpled up, and handed 1t
up for inspection, saying: Pm go
ing TO remember all the things you
have told me now, Judge, and l am
going to school regular now, for
I've got the job all DONE" Judge
Lindsey unrolled the paper and
found it to be a receipted bill, and
discovered that little by little poor
Tim had actually paid with pen
MES and nickels, fifty dollars for a
head stone for his mothers grave.
My boy is that what you have
been doing while you have been
missing school so much?" said the
Judge, and Tim wiped the tears from
his dirty little face as he answered,
