Officer Westby has returned to his former
post in the printorium. Officer Philbrook
now has fresh air squad.
Mr.. A.C. Stevenson, who has been on the
sick list for the past ten days, returned to
duty last Monday morning.
The job department has just completed
its latest big undertaking, the Hand

work indeed.
NOTICE!
Deputy Warden Sullivan wishes to call
the inmates attention to the fact that the
extra uniforms supplied each inmate is
for Sunday use only, and at other times
must be kept on the hanger in your cell.
Mr.. D. E. Gallagher of the printer
ium escorted Mr.. c. Doffing and friends,
of Hastings, thru the institution last Tues
day, calling at our humble sanctum en-
route. Mr.. Gallagher formerly lived in
Hastings.
A. Nobody has requested leave of alb
sence for a little while. No! Not from the
prison, but as contributor, and as the
"Mirror" believes in "Free Trade poll
cy, his request will be complied with, start
ing next week.
Officer o. B. Johnson has finished his
thirty-third (33rd.) year of service as an
officer in this institution Tuesday, May the
18th. Mr.. Johnson is not only the Oldest
officer in the institution, but as we'll, one of
the most proficient.
"Bobbles'', an old favorite and well
known contributor, will join the family
sheet again next week and be Irregular
from then on. We are glad to have him re-
turn and we know that he will furnish
splendid copy that will be highly appreci-
ated by all, as in "auld lang syne.'
Rev. c. E. Benson has secured the serv-
ices of we'll known Twin City quartet as
we'll as some other special features for our
Mothers Day services which are to be held
here next Sunday, May 10th. Every inmate
should aim to be present if for no other
reason than to do honor to your mothers
memory.
1t is simply impossible for Kal to acquire
sufficient knowledge. From all indications
he has mastered about dozen trades while
here, and when he became an expert opera
tor on the ruling machine we thought he
was through, but oh no! he is is now learn
ing the cart Preservative,'' or in plain
English, sticking type.
He is gone from our midst-out into
Gods free sunshine-he has buckled on his
armour and fitted himself to once again
tackle life's battles, and we are sure that
this time he WILL find his footing and
gain place among the useful and respect
ed citizens of Our country. Of this, he can
rest assured:- The ''Mirror Staff and all
his readers-wish him we'll. GOOD luck to
you, H. S. Nc D., is our fervent prayer"
The "NIirror' had the pleasure of visit
from Messers Lawrence Henning, William
Benner and William Won Hansen, three
German youths who are making a tour of
the world on foot. They left Berlin on
May LIST, 1914, and expect to complete
their tour within two years. The boys gave
us some very interesting notes on theiI ad-
ventures and donated photo of the trio in
their hiking garb. They belong to Ger
man order similar to our Boy Scouts in
America. They were shown throughout the
prison by Mr.. Rosing, and were very much
interested in the manner in which the state
of Minnesota cares for its law violators.
The Minnesota State Bankers Assn.
were in annual session during the past week,
the convention on this occasion coming to
the city of Saltwater. One of the most en-
joyable as we'll as enlightening treats &C
corded them by the entertainment COM
mittee, proved to be visit to the State
Prison where they were guests of Warden
c. S. Reed. The ''men of money made
thorough inspection of the various depart
ments and shops. After the sightseeing
tour was completed, the visitors congregat-
ed in the Auditorium, where speeches be-
came the order; the Warden opened the
meeting with short address of welcome.
An adjournment to the Dining room was
the next move, where the visitors enjoyed a
hasty luncheon.
The first part of last Tuesday evening S
show was largely instructive, and as it COW
cred branch of industry of which the
majority of the audience were unacquainted
with, it proved fairly interesting.
