Mass was held in the Auditorium
last Sunday, Father Corcoran officiating.

has been absent for several days is again

Officer Gallagher's crew of the park, is
on the dwindle, if he don't look out he
will be alone.
The Dentist was at the institution sew
eral times during the week doing quite a
considerable amount of work.
Foreman Rutherford showed friend
around every department including the
movies given last Thursday evening.
Our Musical Director, H. c. Christian
sen will move his family to South Stillwat-
er, good "move' on the Professor.
For the last month we did not see any
thing in the papers but war news but l bet
that in few weeks more base ball will take
first place.
You can't run away from yourself but
you can run away from bad companions
and many a man would not be here to-day
if he had done so.
Father Corcoran was a visitor at the in
stitution last Saturday and granted inter-
views to several inmates who desired to see
him at the Deputy's Office.
1t is rumored that Paddy has collared
several first class ball players. Fine! But
they first must show us what they can do,
cause we're from Missouri.
Chief Engineer Schatz was seen in cell
A with several friends inspecting the cells,
and judging by the Chiefs OSCILLATIONS
they received full explanation.
When man sits down and gives up, and
tells you what's the use of trying, he is
hopeless case, and all the encouragement
in the world will not help him.
Officer Clapperton, of shop M. enjoyed
the rest of his vacation during the week,
but is again back on the job; the absence
of tan would indicate the vacation was spent
other than in the sun.
Last Friday was very busy day for Tail
or Nelson. Seven inmates who received
their diplomas by the Board of Parole
were discharged-the greatest number we
have seen go out for some time.
Last Sunday morning Father announced
= hot ,ctor confocciorc mill ho II - <ho
near future and that all Catholic inmates
ought to accept this opportunity to OBJ
serve their Easter duty without fall.
Father Corcoran in his sermon last Sun
day morning brought out several broad
statements that are only too true, and we
hope that everyone who listened to his SER
mon will be benefited by what he said.
Next Friday will be holiday, if the
weather keeps as it is now, the park will be
dry enough for Paddy's team to practice
for awhile, if not we will perhaps enjoy
good old fashion moving picture show
perhaps.
It's not what you are to day, but what
you intend to be tomorrow, that counts.
Make up your mind fully to be something
more tomorrow than you are today, and
you are bound to succeed. Try it, and
see if you don't.
There are quite few inmates who have
the mean trick off tearing numbers other
than their own. The inmates that stoop
to this trick are bound to be caught, and
will be deprived of a fine privilege to which
they proved themselves unworthy. Enuf
sed, we hope.
Next Sunday will be Easter Sunday, and
songs of gladness will be sung in the
churches through the entire world, if the
Son of God could bring peace to the nations
now at war, he would not have suffered,
died, and rose again in vain, but there seems
little prospect of this to happen at the pres
ent time, but stranger things have happen
ed.
