Thursday, July the Eighth, e15.
Several balloons were in evidence here
last Monday, and they still look natural.
Uncle "Gosh," one of the staff and
who is at present working in the Bertillon
Room, as photographer, has joined the
musical squad, and he is not an amateur,
either.
Our many readers will note the absence
of 'Uncle Gosh's" spicy epigrams this
week, but we ask you not to despair: for in
our next issue, our friend Gosh will be
philosophizing as interestingly and strongly
as ever.
Due to an over-amount of work, our
good friend Pendennis informs us that he
cannot resume his work on his column this
week, as stated By US in our last issue, but
but will do so, however, at the earliest
opportunity.
The Editor acknowledges with sincere
thanks the receipt of the song entitled:
"My Mother Raised Her Boy To Be A
Soldier by Capt. Jack Crawford. Many.
many thanks, Capt. Jack. Not with in
terest marked copy.
The final result of the State Board of
Paroles session here at the institution last
month, came to this office too late for our
last Thursdays issue. The meeting in
June resulted in the Boards granting seven
paroles, ten discharges from the institution
and six discharges from parole.
The interior of the main building,
rotunda, back cellhouses, main hall, chapel
dining room and kitchen, was pretty
spectacle for any one to see. Every possible
nook was the scene of flags and bunting,
and in this main reverence was certainly
shown "Old Glory here, if in no other
way.
A fellow boarder sent US the following
daffodil, which might be interesting to
many, regardless of its age. Our grand
mother we believe it was who told US first
about it; and if we remember correctly it
seems to us that she said that when it was
first told to her she kicked the end of her
cradle to pieces:
The "Daffydill:
elf hen matches would a nest egg?'
Haw! Hawi Haw! Oh, isn't it funny
Meow!
Captain Alexander supervised the
decorating of the rotunda and main hall,
and did some artistic job, by the way, too.
There were flags of all descriptions as we'll
as the usual bunting in evidence from one
end of the hall to the other. Red flags,
white flags and blue tags-and a request
had been made of silent Bill of the Mirror.
force for the Office towel, as every other
nationality of the Silent City was in repre-
sentation. Captain Alexander has been on
the job before, as the artistic job was not
the work of an amateur.
The regular Wednesday evening show
provided by the management for our en-
tertainment was very good this week.
For mirth producer it would be hard in
deed to find anything as comical as the
second half of the last real, skit entitled:
"The Plumber Wins Her," and it was
sure an ideal exhibition of how a plumber
runs up his bill. Another feature of the
entertainment that met with hearty applause
from all was the selections furnished by the
orchestra under the able directions of Prof.
Schmidt and Count Glen Ella. The whis-
thing of the knocking Bold, as an innova-
ton by some members of the orchestra, was
exquisite.
Yes, the Gross Brothers, Dyers and
Cleaners, baseball squad, came over from
Minneapolis last Saturday afternoon for the
express purpose of Cleaning and pressing"
our M.S.P. boys into defeat. That they sue
ceeded the IL to tally is evidence; but we
venture that it was the most strenuous work
they have had for sometime, inasmuch as
the MyS.P. boys are not the last team on
the list of the nanny amateur teams of the
state. This is not a knock; nor is it a
boost. It's an undisputed fact, that's all.
Youbetcherlife, we lost both games; but we
do not want to win them all, you know.
