NOTICE

All inmates having in their possession
wooden mittens belonging to the state,
place them on foot of bed for collection
Monday morning May 3rd., by order of
Deputy Warden.
The Electrical Dept. deserve praise for
the capable and artistic manner in which
they installed the lights in the orchestra pit,
for the use of the musicians. 1t is one of the
best and neatest jobs it has been the writer S
privilege to see for some time.-No, fell
lows! only came in.
The Tailoring Dept informs us that the
summer uniforms will be issued in the
course of few days. In fact, the manage
ment is just waiting SO as to be certain that
spring is really here before issuing them,
for now is the time to guard against that
old tyrant, ''La Grippe.
The band boys are rehearsing regularly,
and it might be said, almost constantly,
but they are certainly showing great i'm
provement, and if they keep on, will rank
among the leading bands of the state. The
selections rendered by the orchestra at the
show Tuesday evening were very well
handled and were enjoyed by all.
Tuesday evening we had the pleasure of
forgetting our tIOuOlcS, SOIIOWS anu sui
roundings, for one long hour, thanks for
which are due the management for provid-
ing the excellent movies accorded us.
The first number on this weeks bill was
entitled ''Snowdrift' /, and it proved to be a
most eagrossing two-reel feature, very true
to life in more ways than one, and had a
moral of which the beauty can never be
forgotten. The second number, maggie S
Honest Lover proved to be mirth pro-
ducing farce, indeed, and the audience was
kept in an uproar during its run. The
principals in this picture are pretty we'll
known to the inmates here and are always
favorites. Next came the pictorial review in
which we were treated to scenes from all
parts of the hemisphere, some national,
others from the war zone, and some very
good views of our Canadian Cousins"
preparing for the front. Last, but by no
means least, we had some of Hy Mayer S
handiwork, and needless to say one and all
laughed; this famous cartoonist is favorite
of all. Should any of the inmates journey
to sunny California on their release they
will be pretty we'll acquainted with the resi-
dents of Universal City, and l know we
all have warm place in our hearts fol-
them, for they have been the means of ban
ishing care from our thoughts on many
occasions.

NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE


Almost every person that one meets "has
troubles of his own" Don't spring yours
on him or he may admonish you to ''tell
them to Sweeny" or ''cop." And that S
about right. There is always bitter in life S
sweet, altho, if we taste life rightly, we
may find only enough of the bitter to teach
us what sweet means.
Trouble is of three general kinds, viz:-
The trouble you have had;
The trouble you have;
The trouble you are looking for.
The first of these three kinds of trouble
will not press heavily on the philosophical
mind. 1t is closed incident, and on the
principle that pains and perils thru which
we have come to safety are NEGATIVELY pleas
ant memories, we ought to extract the SEM
blance of happiness from the troubles we
have had to dispose Of

THE PLANT OF A SHUT-IN.
Oh for cot in nice soft spot
On the side of rock-ribbed range,
Where the coyote sings like living

A song that is passing and strange,
To hear the whine of porcupine
AS he pines for the pale polecat,
And the cautious cry of the cougar,
shy,
Who wonders just where he is at.

Pursued by humble bee,
Or bask at will on red-ant hill
In the shade of crossword tree.

To drink our fill from some laugh

Below where some critter died.

The only exhibition of nerves Mrs.
Thaw gave was when she was told OF
the statement in the evening papers. TO
the effect that she might be arrested II
she did not appear in court.
They can't do anything TO me. They
can't, can they? / did all | was told

Telephone conversations with Dr..
Flint and DR.. Livingston cleared up
the mystery about her excuse from
court. Both doctors admitted that a
medical certificate had been given her.
In reference TO the interview printed
las; week, Mrs. Thaw said she had no
intention or desire to reflect on the
good judgment of any one connected
with the present trial.
As soon as her mind was treed from
its weight Of terror, Mrs. Thaw talked
readily about her life in the Adiron-
dacks camp, where her four-year-
son. Russell Thaw, and Jack Clifford,
her dancing partner, had been fishing
all day for the biggest trout in two
lakes to grace the feast on her return.
Russell Thaw is the pet Of the entire
. .Chateaugay Lake colony. His wise or
funny remarks are relayed from fire
side to freside, via the hotel, where
all news centres. The latest contril u
tion came on Sunday, after a rainy
night. Jack Clifford had been pumping
out his motor boat. to the great delight
OF Russell. When the task was oyel
he trudged up the steep bank to the
house.

Harvard at the time Thaw was sum

1t was found impractical to get that
story from DR.. Eliot, who told the state
attorneys that the events leading up to
Thaw's departure had entirely faded
from his mind. The witnesses yester-
day, however, gave more vivid pictures
OF hilarious night student life than DR.
Eliot could have given.
These witnesses were Frank K

EVELYN THAW
GOES BACK HOME
Continued from page l

New York home, following her arrival
at the Grand Central before 9 a. m.
Mr. Cook said that he had no motion
to make at that time. He hinted that
Evelyn might make a real dramatic en-
trance any minute.
Later the Deputy Attorney General
made another announcement.
If Mrs Thaw did not appear to tes-
tify he would apply for writ Of body
attachment, he said.
Dr. Flint at once said that he sue
ceeded in locating the dancer, and that
she would be prepared to talk TO re-
porters at her home, on West Eleventh
Street, at p. m.
Rumors filtered into court about
Searching the city far and wide" for
her, about Mr.. Cook Offering $50 and
then raising the amount to $50 to any
person who would produce Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw in court, not yesterday, but
at this mornings session, and the
story went around that she would be
arrested Just as soon as she stepped
foot in the Grand Central Terminal

AS soon as court adjourned Mr.. Cook
disappeared. Efforts to get in com
munication with him were vain. At the
Hotel Willard. 254 West Seventy-siXth
Street. the clerk said at p. m. that
Mr.. Cook had retired at o'clock, leav-
ing instructions that he was not to be
disturbed under any circumstances.
Unavailing were the attempts TO reach
Edgar Bromberg or any other Of Mr..
Cooks assistants.
DR.. Austin Flint's home, llS Eas:

telephone. AS soon as the person who
answered found that a reporter desired
TO talk with the ahenist the reply
came: "He is out and we don't think
