There seems to be plenty of base ball

playing against the Green Sox last Saturday
was composed mostly of all new men, and

POST PRANDIAL ENTERTAINMENT

About fifty members of the Minneapolis,
Plumbers association, accompanied by
their orchestra visited the institution yester-
day during lunch hour. The party arrived
at the institution at about I1-30 o'clock,
and after visiting the various Departments
made their way to the dining room, where
the inmates were already assembling. The
orchestra occupied the balcony and as soon
as the men were seated, the entertainers
opened with lively jig tune, and for the
next half hour the inmates were furnished
most enjoyable and unlocked for entertain
ment. For the time at least, these prison
walls were forgotten and the sweet clear
strains of banjo were uppermost in our
minds.
1t was an occasion of which we are deeply
appreciative and we extend our heartfelt
thanks to the visiting Plumbers, their orch
ira and the management of the institution,
who made the entertainment possible.
After entertaining the inmates the Plumb
ers association were in turn entertained by
Warden c. S. Reed, to luncheon and later
were shown the various industries and
products manufactured here. The visit
proved very Enjoyable to both visitors and
visited.
Among the visiting members We noticed
(Old Sy) c. A. Gibson, who was one of
the Plumbers employed here during the
installation of the modern and sanitary
equipment with which the new prison is
provided.
Some of the numbers by the oachestra
were, Tipperary, Dixie Land, Laughing
Song, The Fatherland and others, a really
splendid program. Again, in closing we
wish to express our sincere thanks to those
who made possible this rare occasion, that
we might temporarily forget and enjoy.

The Real Failure

"A man VINO mOurnS often In defeat and
wonders if the game is worth the candle.
He has read in book or heard about other
men at whose touch all turned to gold and
everything succeed. He cannot see that
they are better than he. The luck "broke
right" for them. They had fair start; he
was handicapped. The fairy godmother
stood by the other fellows cradle, and the
black malignant witch assisted in his own
christening. Try as he may, he cannot
break the spell of misfortune He ma, run
with all his Nigh and yet he cannot out
pace the pursuit of the furies; and, though
he doubles on the trail or strikes off at
tangent; he cannot throw the relentless
pursuers off the scent. By and by he finds
himself in kind of fatalistic stupor in
which he belives that it is written in the
skies whether he should stand or fall,
and it is no use of him go on trying against
his destiny.
The real failure in life is that of character,
not biographical incident. One man S
existence may be crowded with adventure
and others may be uneventful; and yet the
first has not done what he was put on the
earth to do, and the second has realized the
purpose of his life, though the material re-
wards of his life may have passed him by.
The yardstick by which success is melted
out is not that vulgar and ignorant appraise
which counts all that man has gathered
into barns or put into the bank, and over
looks all that he has put into his mind and
heart and life to be given forth again.
The income tax can never be gathered at
the true source of a mans real opulence-
for that is not in houses, nor in lands, nor
in stipend paid him for his work, but in
friends, his ideals, the things he does that
no one pays him to do, the cherished faith
and affections whereby he chiefly lives.
OF course many lazy man makes the
expression that he is a philosopher. The
castle of this incidence is impregnable to
rebuke, for with lofty scorn he regards
all who dare to remind him of an active
duty in his tranquil atmosphere of mystic
contemplation. He looks to posterity, and
advertises not for the purblind fools of
the present miserable generation but for
the devout attention of a hundred years
hence. Meanwhile, he lets his wife do all
the work of the house and his children are
unmannerly, unkept and grow like weeds.
But there are men who still are poor af-
ter they they have tried all ways they can
think of to make money. You could hard
ly, in fair sense, call them failures. They
are great deal happier than many of those
who think nothiug of check of four
figures for costly tri1e. In their homes
there is an atmosphere of content that is
only to be had for love, never for money;
and Crosus, for all his treasure bags, can
not transplant and foster that as though it
were some rare plant for his estate.
For there are just two sorts to buy, two
kinds of prices to pay; and just because
man cannot purchase in dollars what dol
lar will produce he need not believe that his
life has been lived to no purpose. How

the Athletics may mean his return
to his old time batting form among
the elect 300 class. In the nine
teen years that Lajoie has been at
the game, he has fallen below the
mark three times. First in 1907,
when he was just one point short,
again the following year his percent
age was .389-eleven pct. short and
at the close of last season he had the
lowest record of his career .25S.
Thus his average surpasses that of

the season with luck against them,
the Athletics getting the long end

the Sox showed good from on their
