Warden c. S. Reed and State Agen
F. A. Whittier returned last Monday from
Oakland Calf, where they had been in at
tendance at the annual convention of the
American Prison Congress.
We would be pleased to hear from all the
old time contributors to the family sheet
for it's our intention to have the "Mirror"
come out in an original and new dress every
issue. This can only be brought about by
the hearty cooperation of every available
contributor. Send your copy in when pos
sible a week or ten days before publication,
as all copy must be read and passed upon
before it is run.
By losing to the Cellar Colts last Satur-
day our local team dropped back into the
500 class in the percentage list. 1t seems
like hard lines to slip back now when the
end of the season is in sight, however, a few
wins will help out wonderfully. So far this
season we have participated in twenty-four
games with outside teams and have won
fourteen and lost ten which gives us per-
centage of .582.
Next Saturday we are to battle with the
Byers Base ball team of Saltwater. AS this
is this teams first appearance, here we can
hardly furnish any forecast on the contest,
but knowing what wedo of Byers Co we are
willing to wager that the visitors will put
up stiff fight and make the locals 60 some
to get the edge on them.
We enjoy ed an exceptionally fine pro-
gram at our Chapel service last Sunday.
The treat of the service was the beautiful
rendition of the vocal program by Mrs.
Hall and her accompanies Miss Dial. The
selections were varied in theme and Ian
guage and brought to the inmates of diff
ferent nationalities, the favorite songs of
their forefathers.
Among the selections rendered were:
In Garden; Mother Macbree; Annie Lau-
RTE; The Lass With Delicate Air; Nymphs
and Shepherds; The Years of Spring; Good
Morning; Mort Koeld and Irmany Rose.
Our sincere appreciation for this treat is
expressed by the hope that we will again
have the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Hall on
some future occasion.
Life is full of surprises. Some of them
are pleasant, many are otherwise. Among
the former was the appearance of splen-
did quartet who rendered several delightful
numbers prior to the ball game Saturday
afternoon last. Such pleasant occurrences
are much appreciated, and are further in
centive towards a full attendance at the
game.
What's in name? We have ''dum-
my in the printing Office who is far from
being dumb-headed. Apropos of which
we point silent language) the finger of
pride at evidences of his handi-craft, and
especially to the composing-room cabinet
he made for the printorium this week.
Optimo says:--"Those who attended
chapel last Sunday had concrete example
of "watchful waiting" However, like all
good things the program rendered proved
to be we'll worth waiting for. These kind
" considerations at the hands of strangers is
a source of much encouragement to we
"shut-in's," and a compliment as well, in
that we are deemed capable of approaching
classical offering. In spirit of deep graft
tude we extend to you a paragraphica

Warden, Henry Towne of Waupun, Wis.
together with a party of friends were the
guests of Warden Reed of this institution
last Sunday.
Harry, our steler ball player who wa:
quite badly injured while making one Of
his spectacular slides for a base. and who
has been confined in the hospital for few
weeks, made his appearance on the bleacher'
in chariot of state, to-wit, wheeled chair
during last Saturdays game. He says ne
will be '.Johnnie on the spot" at next Sat
urdays game, strsking terror to the hearts
of the intrepid sons of free-men who, as i
were, beard the lion in his den. Here's ar
an alliterative hope that, Harry hurls th'
high ones in hurting heave for home.
We note that some of the ''boys" ART
somewhat ''off their feed" Wonder if they
are preparing for thanksgiving Apropo
of which we note that our President ha
granted all citizens, and perchance, SOM
who are not citizens, the right to ignor'
terms of neutrality and to make war OF
TURKEY.
