Christian Science services were held in
the Auditorium last Sunday with the usual
attendance.
Assistant Deputy Whelan showed sever
ladies thru the institution last Friday pay
ing the library visit also.
Rev. Benson preached an inspiring ser
mon last Sunday morning-one that reach
ed the hearts of all his hearers.
Deputy Warden Sullivan escorted party
| of ladies thru the institution last Friday
and listened to the music in the Audito-
rum, for a while.
Owing to the absence of Prof. Schmidt
last Sunday morning, both choirs took a
rest, and left 1t all to the orchestra, who
played very well indeed.
Rev. Mccoy, former Chaplain, was a
visitor at the prison last Saturday, and was
seen shaking hands with cold timers"
and making new acquaintance.
We consume about 800 lbs of butter ev-
very month in our walled-in city. Now
how much would we eat if we got it three
times day; we'll, guess again.
The easiest time to run type writer
we hear one. Ask Paddy; he perhaps will
be able to answer your question.
A new table was put up in the library
last Saturday, also Mr.. Nelson was kind
enuf to furnish US with plenty of material
to cover dark and empty spaces.
We notice that the men in the trenches of
Europe are appealing for mouth-organs.
Wonder what for, unless they think music
has charms so no bullets will find them.
Foreman Henderson was visitor in cell
hall A, last Saturday, and we hardly
could believe our eyes, for Mr.. Henderson
has lost considerable flesh since last we saw
him.
Well, anyhow, we received two votes
last Sunday, and if these two will make
themselves known to yours truly, you will
get some paper in your cell on which lines
are printed.
Warden Reed aud Mrs. Reed were vis-
tors at the Auditorium last Thursday even
ing enjoying the movies. The pictures
were good indeed; so come again please.
You are welcome we assure you.
Hey, do you notice that the days are get
ting longer. The sun reached my cell to-
day for the first time this Winter. Two
more months and the baseball season will
again be in operation. How time flies!
Senior Villa has declared himself Presi.
dent of Mexico. Sorry to hear it Senior,
but your time now is very short one, as
no president in Mexico lasts long, and they
won't make an exception in your case.
Our next holiday will be Lincoln S
Birthday on Friday, February the 18th,
and we hope the day will be celebrated all
over the Union in honor to the memory of
the greatest man this country ever had.
His memory will live forever in the hearts
of every true American.
Oh, yah, we hope you will excuse us,
Uncle Goshdingit, it was an oversight on
our part to omit your cell number in the
list of German readers. Sure, boys 1904
is real Dutchman and can eat up all the
longest German words you can send him,
and it will be appreciated. Das list recht!
There were quite few complaints dur
ing the week of not getting library books,
when the compliments themselves were to
blame by not changing the cell numbers on
their library slips when riley were trans
feIred from one cell to another. You are
supposed to correct the cell change on your
library slip; for we have not the time to
guess at whether you have made this change
of number or not.
