The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1915-06-24

were worth. he Starkels are jolly bunch
of boys and we hope that ere long they
will play us again in order to take the con-
ceit out of us because of the numerous vic
tories we have won from visiting teams.
But before you come, remember you must
play from beginning to end, or else the M.
SIP. will have another game in their favor
Next Saturday, the Simonets will contest
with the local team, and if the fans have
any yelling to do, they sure want to do it
then. Good luck to the M. S. P. boys,
we are all with you, and we know you will
add another to the prison pennant cap.
Among the many interested visitors dur
ing the latter part of last week were the
Train Dispatches Association. The del
egation arrived at the institution early
Thursday afternoon, as guests of Warden
Reed and were ushered throughout the pris-
on by the Warden, his deputies and clerical
force of the Front Office. The visitors
were very much interested in the different
departments, and none the least of these
was our humble sanctum sanctorium.
''The Mirror was in demand, and not a
few copies were supplied. The orchestra
and band provided entertainment in the
prison rotunda for the visitors. The "boys"
Lwere highly complimented by members of
the association, and the numbers rendered
received hearty applause from everyone.
Wednesday night was show night and the
bill arranged for by the management on this
occasion was very good indeed. There were
three one-reel features and all were entirely
different. The opening number was an
Imp, featuring Miss Mary Pickford in a
playlet of the drama order entitled ga Nor
mandy Romance In this number Miss
Pickford excells herself in many of the
scenes, in fact one can almost fancy it is
the little lady herself on the stage instead of
her reproduction.
The next offering was the fourth series of
The Universal Kid, in "The Chinese Mys-
terry" This number was the prize winner
of the entertainment, for while it was COM
ical as we'll as amusing 1t was also very life
like, or in other words the youngster did
jusl what you can?expect all Riddles in real
life to do and that is the unexpected. He
certainly initiated Chinaman in a very
realistic manner, and his rescue was a fit
ting climax.
''Lizzie's Fortune The last num-
Der on our programe was a screaming farce
comedy from start to finish and kept the
"boys" in one continued uproar, and yet
there was lot of truth in it at that, for l am
sorry to say there are vast majority of men
who will marry woman for her money re-
CARELESS of their relative fitness for happy
union, however the fortune hunter got more
than he deserved in the end for he captured
a good respectable, hard working wo-
man for wife and it would not be her fault
if they did not make success of their flu
ture life together.
The orchestra as usual furnished prime

of Count Kubelic, that met with the hearty
approval of all present, the Count again
demonstrating his ability as an exception
ally able director.
The Asst. Deputy, Mr.. Backland, re-
lates to us story about horse; in fact, to
be little more exact, it is story in which
two horses are mentioned, one of which is
a wooden-horse (not a rocking horse, you
understand) and the other is a real horse
you know the kind we mean-that some
times kicks and runs and Frances and dances
when the jitneys pass them; the kind that
''raises CAIN generally when you have
your "best' out for lark, and the lines
for some unaccountable reason, drop out of
your hands while you are trying to extract
a naughty mosquito from your chest" eye.
Guess you know what kind of horse we
mean, so we tell you the following tale as
twas told to US, as we said at the beginning:
"Someone was sent from the north end
of the entrance to the south end of the Farm
Machine Building to ''bring up the horse"
which is used to pull the empty cars to the
warehouse; but Mr.. Somebody did not
know that the horse was used for such
purposes. and made mistake in the select
ion as to which horse was required by the
person who sent him on the errand. Mr..
Somebody" was puzzled-very much
puzzled. An idea came to him as quick as
fash and he decided to shoulder" the
wooden horse which, by the way, accord
ing to the warehouse scales, weighed in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds, and started
up the avenue leading to the point at which
his co-workers were waiting for his return.
But just as Mr.. Somebody" had complet-
ed about half of his journey, Asst. Deputy
came to the rescue and explained that he
