Blondy is fairly good emergency man
with stick; he is also learning the mysteries

does shine when swinging the Johnson bar
on the cutting machine.
Mr.. JotnWhelan, ASS Deputy Warden,
has returned from his vacation wearing
coat of healthy tan. Yes, and regular gold
en- smile. He certainly appears to have had
asplendid time during his absence.
One thing about the continuous rainfall
we are having, it is fine for the hay crop, judg-
ing from the way the grass grows around
here. 1t keeps our landscape artist Mr. Nc
Intosh and his corps of assistants busy with
the mowers, shears and rakes to keep our
lawns in shape.
The members of the State Board of Control
Warden c. S. Reed, of this institution, aud
State Architect johnson returned the first of
this week from Guelph, Ont. where they were
inspecting the Canadian reformatory, which
is one of the most modern and up-to-date in

The Messrs. Gross Bros. of Minneapolis
were among the delegation of ardent fans
from the ''Flour City,, who we're over to
help cheer the M. S. P, to victory last week.
Rumor has it that they we're also interested
in arranging for another contest between the
the Dye Works aggregation and our home

ing "some team" by all accounts, and with
our nine in the form they are, we should

our handiwork.
Laff, is certainly the pinch-hitter our team
boasts of; for last Saturday was the second
occasion this season that he has connected at

have ever had on our staff, and we are GER

old parlance. With the lineup played last
