Should Autoists Stop to Bury
Their Dead

Pedestrians should be suppressed, all
motorists avow; long since they ceased to
be a jest, and they're a nuisance now
There's nothing harder on car than run
ming over men; it gives the works deadly
jar, and wrecks the springs again. This
sprin g bought new machine that took
most all my pile; filled its tank with gas
oline, to try it for mile; two neighbors
got beneath tie wheels-their nerve was
cold and raw; what wonder that driver
feels their ought to be law: 1t takes all
pleasure from the game. It. spoils the joy
Gus graft, to find that some wayfarers'
frame is wound around the shaft. The
walkers say they have right to alley, street
and lane, and just to demonstrate their
spite, they let themselves be slain. Ped
estrians will 60 to far; they re claiming
now it's said, that every man who runs a
car should stop and plant his dead. With
jealousy their breasts are filled; since they
can't ride in cars, they take delight in be-
ing killed, in gaining wounds and scars;
by this they're hoping to create a sentiment
adverse to this, the pastime of the great
could jealousy do worse? Our Legislatures
and Gus courts should shield us from such
shocks, should guard the noblest of al
sports, and Jail the men who walks.-Fx

M!sfit Optimism

The was hid day after day; the lowering
clouds were dark and gray, the world was
fnll of gloom; the people seemed depressed
and sad, and looked as though they d give
a scad to slumber in the tomb. ''Here'
where said, ''my cheer-up creed will
heal the hearts that ache and bleed, and
make the people gays and SO l blithely
stopped my friends, and said, ''Don't mind
the sky that bends above us, grim and
gray. Dost rechllect the poet lines? Be
the clouds the sun still shines, or words to
that effect; rememper that when up you
glance, remember that and sing and dance
don't let your joy be wrecked" My
friends replied, "Come off your perch; a
weary guy would need to search a million
books of poems, to find a comfort for his
soul as through this land of doom and dole
all dismally he roams. The sun may shine
behind the clouds, but that won t help the
human crowds it ought to shine outside;
we have no use for any orb that lets us suf-
fer and absorb this moisture through the
hide" find it weary work indeed to pro-
mitigate my sunshine creed, so calloused
are mems hearts; they don't respond to
joyous tones, but greet my words with
signs and groans, and cuss by fits and starts

Trials of Editors.

Stories of the secret printing plants of the
Russian .revolutionists and the difficulties
they have in publishing their organs are
common. Up near Libau on the Baltic the
Social Revolutionists maintained an edito-
rial Office in the hollow of huge oak for
several years, and when the editor went to
his duties he carried rake over his shoulder
and wore peasant dress.
The Russians are not the only revolution
lists who have had picturesque difficulties in
getting out their papers. During the Fill
ipino instruction the insurgents published
an organ La Independence, which was is
sued daily Tor nearly year without missing
day. But there were occasions when the
editor and his helpers had to resort to heroic
measures to get out the daily issue on time.
When the Americans took Malolos, the
first Filipino capital, the order for general
retreat came so suddenly that even the gov
eminent documents were saved with diff
Guilty. Yet the editor of La Independence
went cody about removing his printing
plant. AT this time, of all others, it was
necessary to publish tine paper, SO that the
people of the upper provinces might get the
right version of this tactical retreat
The press was loaded into big car drawn
by two carabaos. Next day the American
firing lines was so close to the rear of the
retreating Filipinos that occasional shells
were hurled over into the long line of flee
ing civilians.
Under these circumstances the editor
wrote his story of the battle going on about
his ears, had his boys set it up during an
hour stop at wayside hut, and during the
afternoon the days issue of the paper was
run off the press as it jolted along the road .
| The title of the chief editorial in the day S
La Independence was, We Go, But We
Shall Return.
The Macedonian Committee published
an organ not quite so pretentions but under
quite as many difficulties. 1t was in fact
mimeographed and not printed. The
mimeograph was carried in the knapsack of
''brigand'' bandsman, the editor being
the leader of the band. Sometimes he wrote
his editorials in peasants hut, sometimes
in the forests of lofty mountain. 1t was
in this itinerant sheet that three first APP
deared poem by the famous Bulgarian
poet Yaverov, which was afterward tram
slated and printed in many OF the impor-
tant papers of the European capitals.

Things to Forget

If you see big fellow ahead of the
crowd,
"A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of a tale whose tell
ing aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of skeleton hidden
In closet and guarded and kept
from the day
In the dark; and whose showing,
whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong dismay,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of spot in the life of a
friend
1--WE all have such spots concealed
world without end)
Whose touching his heart-strings
would play on and rend.
Till the shame of its showing no
grieving would mend,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of thing that would
darken the jov
Of a man or woman, girl ora
boy.
That will wipe out smile, or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to
cloy,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of thing, just the least
little thing,
Whose telling would cork up laugh
or the grin
Of the man you don't like: for the
Lords sake keep it in.
Don't. don't be a knocker; right
here stick pin,
Its pretty good plan to gorget it.

'PICKUPS & PUNCHES
By Uncle John

Mass was held in the Auditorium last
Sunday, Father Corcoran officiating.
Whoever is responsible for the musical
treat we enjoyed last Sunday morning de-
serves the thanks of the whole Community.
1t is seldom that we have the privilege of
listening to such noted singer as is Nine
Hall and the boys proved that we appreci
ated good singing. She sang English,
Swedish, German, Scottish and Irish songs.
What joy it must be, to be able to carry SO
mcuh gladness in place like this.
That beautiful piano solo we listened to
last Sunday morning was something we
have not heared for a long, long time in
fact, only an artist can play like that.
Received during the week in the foundry,
ten car loads of pig iron, five of scrap iron,
and five of car sand which keep the sand
rats busy for several days to come.
Last Saturday was an ideal day for base
ball and our boys had the game won in the
first inning but then they gave us as fine an
exhibition of errors as we have ever seen,
and hope not to see again.
Father Corcoran was visitor at the in
stitution last Saturday, and gave audiences
to several inmates at the Deputy's Office,
also paying the hospital visit.
Guard Buck of shop F is away on his an
nual vacation and Guard Chaser is holding
down the position during his absence.
Billy Alexander the genial foreman of
the Irvine Plant. and Guard Powers have
taken a trip west for several weeks vaca-
ton, we understand they have gone to
Wheaton.
Rev. Mccoy was visitor at the institu-
last Saturday with friend, making an all
around tour of inspection.
Just for curiosity's sake we had look
at every Mirror printed back to 1898 but
we can't see where the congregation ever
sang a waltz, so we take it for granted that
our friend Beau, must of had a beautiful

Progress in Printing

1t is "a long way from the old block
method of printing to the use of the limo
type.
The first book was printed about four
hundred years ago. This book was printed
with wooden blocks.
The work, which was to be printed, was
written on thin transparent paper.
Each sheet of paper was glued face down.
ward on thin tablet of hard wood.
The engraver, with rude instruments, cut
away the wood around the letters, making
it ready to be printed.
The ink was put on the type with stuffed
leather balls. After the ink was put on,
they would dampen paper to certain de-
gree and lay it over the type. Passing a
brush over the paper with right degree OF
force, would cause it to print on the paper.
In 1923 Dutchman and German dis
covered that the letters of word could be
made separately.
This was great advantage to the work.
men, for they had to cut new blocks for
every page.
The next type was made of metal.
The first bible was printed in 1850 and
I455 by Gutenberg. The first letters of
every chapter was executed with pen and
different colors of inks.
1870 cylinder presses were invented and
run by steam. After this invention, books
and magazines could he easily printed.
About 1918 it was discovered that glue
and mollasses, thoroughly boiled, made
composition that resembled India rubber.
The liquid, in its hot state, was poured
into an iron mold, in the center of which
was wooden axis When cool it was slip
ped from the mold. This composition,
which now includes glycerin, is still in use
today as rollers to put ink on the face of
the type.
AS we come up to the modern age of
printing, we have the linotype machine,
which does the typesettIng of all the news
papers and printed jobs.
These machines are operated by one man,
who sits a, the key board. The latest model
of these machines is the "Mergenthaler.
1t is said that over 81, 900 of these machines
are now in daily use.

Wisconsin is Good Enough
for Me

They talk of California,
They say the climates grand.
They sing of Old New Hampshire,
Also of Dixie Land"
They sing of Dear Old Georgia,
And sunny Tennessee.
I'll sing of Old Wisconsin:
It's good enough for me.
In Nebraska there's cyclone.
In Kansas there's a flood;
While down in Old Missouri
They wade knee-deep in mud
In Texas there's the terror of
Submersion by the sea
In Wisconsin we have neither,
It's good enough for me.
The east coast has it's hurricanes
The west coast has it's fogs,
The north is full of snow and ice
The south is full of boys.
I've travelled Uncle Sans donna in
And some across the sea;
But life in Old Wisconsin,
It's good enough for me.
Wisconsin where the farmers crop
Was never known to fail.
When fruits all miss in other states
We've plenty here for sale.
But for living in Wisconsin
NV reasons first are three:
There's Sunshine, Health and
Happiness,
It's good enough for me. -Ex.

Never talk back to Teller that's abusin

And when he finds his blamin' and de-

You've got him clean kafummixed, and
you want to hold him there!
Never talk back, and wake up the whole
community
And call a man liar, over Law, er
Politics.
You can lift and land him furder and with
gracefuller impunity
With one good Jolt of silence than half
dozen kicks!
