Mr.. Douglas, of the Carlton Mercantile
Co, Carlton, MINI. formerly Supt, of the
Prison Farm was a visitor at the institu-
ton last Tuesday. Mr.. Douglas in
formed us that business in all lines is
brisk in his part of the state as the
crops this year are little above the average
in the Carlton section.

DR.. Geo. Walstrom, Resident Dentist at
the State ReforEiatory, St. Cloud, was a
visitor at the institution last Tuesday.
While here the genial Doctor got pos
session of a knife in some unexplained
manner and forthwith proceeded to allow it
to descend business-end downward, and it
looked as though we were going to see the
finish of fairly useful knife when it should
come in contact with our sanitary but
rather rock-like floor. Dr. however, has a
quick mind and by the simple nterception
of his foot the knife was saved from dis
truction. Rut such was not the case with
the tooth abstractor's pedestal. Luckily it
Il mean the FOOT was not so badly impair
ed, but what Heinie and his assistants were
able to repair and patch it up sufficiently to
allow the Doc, to go on his way. But
say while friend Heinie was getting in his
work, he kept saying, ''now. Doc. won t
hurt you" Doc. found it otherwise and
was heard to remark when about to depart:
81 sure have learnt lesson today, for |
have been using that I" l won't hurt
formula in my Biz for some time past
but let me tell you 1T DID HURT. Come
again, Doc. Heinie enjoyed his practice.

1t was with profound sorrow that w,
chronicle the death of one of our regular Of
ficers, Capt. French. He passed to thu
great beyond last Friday, due to an attack o
blood-poisoning after but short illness
The Capt. was popular and efficient of
fcer and was highly thought of both by
his superiors, fellow-oficers and those il
his care, he had been a member Of the
prison staff tor some years. Intermen
took place last Sunday at Saltwater.
1t is with no small satisfaction that WI
note that the "All Stars are scheduled tc
appear here again next Saturday. And we
expect our team to PLAY BALL, we dou'
mind getting defeated, but we want to see
our boys play the game to the end regard
less whether it is defeat or victory.s Fol
remember, ball game is in many respect:
like the daily battle we must fight in life
on the outside. And it is only by meeting
and overcoming obstacles that obstruct oul
path that we can hope to ever amount to
much, and the bigger the obstacle is, the
better, for while the momentary fight may
be just that much harder the victory will
mean a long step towards success-some
thing worth striving for-and this apple
to ball game just as much as it dose t.
life. So ye players show what you re made
of and remember you are the chosen repre-
sentatives of thousand fans.
