Keck, was on the job throughout the
game last Saturday, and those who would
dare to dispute his decisions, know naught
of baseball.
Another new man has been added to the
library staff during the past week, and from
present indications he is the right man in
the right place.
The Rev. Mr.. Pond, chaplain of Bridwell
Prison, Chicago, and the Rev. Mr.. Palmer
of Saltwater, were interested visitors at the
institution during the fore part of the week.
Mr.. Rosing of the front Office conducted
the Rev. gentlemen through the prison, cal
ling at the Mirror sanctum en- route.
Aside from his being an Al musician,
baseball player and waiter, Pat has another
accomplishment which we noticed for the
first time last Saturday. He is real
drum MAJOR and as the band led the
crews from the factory, our friend Pat was
on the Job with the baton. Good work, Pat.
During the recent cold snap, Tailor Mel
son began to look worried just before the
break, we presume he was expecting to re-
ceive a call for winter clothes about three or
four months before they were due, which
would have been no joke, for it is some un-
dertaking to outfit eleven hundred men, and
our genial taller always believes in doing it
properly.
The State Board of Parole are in session
at this institution again this week, and while
they have not completed their work as yet,
we are informed that thus far they have
granted six paroles and one discharge. This
number is likely to be considerably augu-
mented by the time they are threugh,as the
number of applicants up for consideration
is large.
Kal has again sprung surprise on his
Office associates and incidently on our
readers as we'll. We have long known that
he was a very efficient workman but until
now he has never shown any adapibility to
write poetry. However, he has proven
himself to be poet of no mean ability,
one of his most recent illusions appears on
the first page of this issue.
Beau Esprita informs US that owing to
the fact that he ''Struck out" last Sunday,
his usual "Weakly Hit" would not appear
in the usual column this week: but that his
batting average would materially increase
during the week and the "Weakly Hit"
appear in our next issue. His "Weakly
Hit always makes chit" and that's why
we cannot afford to lose the chit
Lenn., a new arrival, better known as
''Blondy,' is the latest acquisition to the
printorium force. He has all the require
ments essential in the ''art preservative, "
and we can see no reason why he should
not develop into first-class "stick-hand-
ler'' during his sojourn here. "Blondy, "
at one time was steady contributor to the
''family Journal" and we would be glad to
hear from him whenever he feels that he
must speak. Welcome to our city,
"Blondy.''
"Three lone inmates are still left in the
old prison at Saltwater out of respect to the
State Constitution, the plant being outside
of the city limits. They must be terribly
homesick deprived of so many comforts and
conveniences, says an exchange. Oul
dear brother you are, oh, so far behind
That is ancient history. There is but one
at the old prison and he would not for one
moment wish anyone to think that he wa,
homesick. Despite the many comforts and
conveniences which we certainly have, w
do not think that there is one here WHIT
would not gladly exchange places will
Others less fortunate, so that they, too
might enjoy life to the fullest. otis jus
grand, come on in, the water is fine,
brother!
1t is said that a man who won't buy
paper because he can borrow one, has in
vented machine by which he can cook hi
dinner from the smoke of his neighbour
chimney. The same fellow sits in the bacI
pew at church to save interest in contri
buttons and is always borrowing a ride t,
save horseflesh. He is first cousin to tn
man who never winds his watch for fear o
breaking the spring. He was no doubt
near relative to the man who went into tn
back yard during cold snap last winter
soaked his hair in water, let it freeze, thel
broke it off in order to beat the barber on
Of haircut Elk.
