INITIAL ADDRESS OF THE
CHAUTAUQUA PRESIDENT

At the last meeting of Chautau-
qua Circle, Mr.. "Pendennls'' was
unanimously elected president of
the Circle, a position which he is
ably qualified to fill. He is the
right man in the right place. We
extend our heartiest congratula-
tions to Mr.. P. and bespeak for
him a very successful administra-
tion in his new position.
The Presidents address to the
Circle is herewith printed.-Ed.
GENTLE MEN:
The first thing all
men at least all Americans do upon
being elected to Office, IS to
make speech. American men like
to hear the sound of their voice, and
l am no exception to the rule.
In performing the duties of Pre-
sident of this circle it shall be my
aim to stand for the square thing at
all times to all members, and to all
the inmates of this institution.
want to work with the members
of the Circle and | want the men,
bers to work with me for the best
interests of all of us in here. If we
all work together we can make a
force that will do things. By each
one helping to make the circle move
along we will by our united effort
be able to do more.
There is one point l wish to men
tion and that is that the Circle
wants more men. l would like to
see more men from the shops and
the factories in the Circle. l
would like to make the inmates of
this institution understand that we
are not highbrow society. and to
know that the Chautauqua Circle is
for all of them. We want to make
the Circle the biggest thing in the
intellectual life of the prison.
You have almost unanimously e.
lected me president of the Circle.
l had rather, the vote had been
closer; that l was elected by one or
two majority. Now if any member
of the Circle has any question he
would like to ask, or if any man has
any ideas for the interest of the
Circle, or any suggestions to make:
he should get up on the floor dur
ing the discussion of old and new
business and say what is in his
mind. If you have any ideas con-
cerning the meetings we want to
hear them. When you go out a.
mong the other men on holidays
boost for the Circle. Let us make
the meetings TO be for all the men,
bers. 1t will be my aim to make
them so.
Gentlemen / thank you.

APPROACHING DAWN
TO A TRANSCRESSOR
FROM DEPTH OF SIN AND DEGRADATION
TO The DiSClPLESAIP OF CHRIST
A Story Taken From The Life of q Home
less Wanderer and Transgressor, who,
After Drinking from The Bitter Cup OF
Sin, Finds Salvation.
By T. W. L.

1t is an easy matter for any of us
to make false step and be on the
downward path of sin, regardless OF
how we'll we are brought up or what
our advantages may have been.
Now, when you consider how
many men of good paren;age with
all the training aud education nee
essary to gain an honest and indie
pendent livelihood, who find their
way to jaiis and prisons every year,
it is small wonder that those of our
poorer brothers lwho quite likely
grew up" as Topsy" did with out
the guiding hand of a larent or any
of the pleasant environment of home
life) should choose life of crime
as the easiest way of gaining living.
F., had never enjoyed a home,
a mother, or fathers love and guild
ance, he was just waif of the
streets. and managed from the time
when he was little shaver to pick
up sufficient for an existence, in the
various ways OF a city street arab.
Thus is was that as he grew older,
be was continually planning and
scheming to find means of obtaining
money or merchandise of any dis
cription, with out the necessity of
working for it. And in the course
of time, gained quite reputation as
a petty thief. He was frequently
caught in dhe meshes of the law; yet,
as his crimes were always of such a
petty nature that the worst that ever
happened to him was a Jail or work
house sentence.
But as he grew to be more of an
expert he wanted to expand; and
with this end in view, made an at
tempt to burglarize a store one night
and was caught IN the act. The at
tempted crime was of rather serious
nature.
F., was unable to get by the
Judge any longer with his promises
and excuses, and consequently in
due time was lodged in the prison
for an lndeterminate term. His re-
lease after short period being sub
ject only to his own behavior and
conduct during his confinement
On his arrival he was assigned to
the brick plant; and while the work
was arduous, it was very healthy,
owing to the shed being of the vari-
ETY. that are with out walls.
After scme six months in which
he had become pretty well hardened
to toll and could do a good days
work and enjoy his task just from
being able to perform it well.
Then one day the warden sent
for him and informed him that he
was going to give him a chance to
prove both his manhood and his
right to be given his freedom; and
explained how it was to be ac-
complished. 1t appeared that one

A 'Rutntttattntr
BY II. 8. Med

There is no SPOT UPON this earth
Where there is no temptation.
For even the halls Of music and miirth
Are filled with defamation;
The imps Of satan flutter round
To work our ruination----
They hope to get us underground
And then---1nc1nerat1on!
So we must be UPON our guard
And not feel to elated
When we win out by fighting hard.
For satan traps are baited
With many a scene Of grand success,
But defeat is close related.
And should we waver and diigress
Old satan has us fated.
The way at first is dark and drear
But it will be much lie ehter.
And when we learn to persevere
Things will be much brighter:
So don give IN to every doubt
But show EN- you re fighter
Never die without shout
You've been in places tig ghter.

Saturday of last week was a total
