OBITUARY

Therese Lillian, little daughter Of
Guy and Lillian Chamberlain was born
Dec. 8, 1918; died May II, 1919. She
was spared to be with us short time.
She was but four days old when
her mother was taken from her.
Since that time she with her father
have lived with her grandparents.
On "Mother's Day" she was called
from us to be with her mother in
Heaven. Our loss is her gain.
While with us she was little sun
beam. How we miss her.
Darling Therese, mamma wants you,
. Oh, how lonely here below!
She was just rosebud loaned to us,
But we learned to love her so.
Darling Therese, papa wants you,
Wherefore my ambition now!
Worldly honors do not lure me,
Live, l must, but know not how.
In my day dreams shall see her,
To perfect woman grown;
I shall look with pride upon her
AS she moves about our home
Then again the dream will vanish,
Anguish will return and pain,
Yet one thing I'm persuaded
Therese did not live in vain.
When in action undecided,
To this impulse I'll be true;
To mamma, and my Darling,
I'll always be thinking of you.
By the father.

The One Who Loses Decides

question that is bound to lead to much fric-
tion and jealousy among the allied nations is, Who
won the war? President Wilson, proud of the glor-
ous achievements of the Americans in turning the
invading hosts of Germany back from France. pro-
claims that America won the war. General Haig,
who commanded the British forces said in a speech
he delivered last week that England the war;
President Poincaire of France believes France is
titled to the honor of winning the war.
When common friends disagree, who shall de-
eide?
Armies are but collections of men, and the same
rule will apply to the collection to the unit in
dvidua. Generally when individual is thrashed
or whipped he tell who did the act. As Ger
many whipped it is safe to let the Germans de-
eide who whipped them: Well, the Germans
animous in their verdict that the Americans did the
act and we predict that the German decision will
stand, the opinion of Haig to the contrary.

Success and Failure

There is that in nature which is called the law
of average. Without knowledge Of this law, the
insurance companies would be unable to do BUSINESS
By they eliminate chance, for chance applies only
TO small numbers Understand the working prnci-
pies of big things and there is no uncertainty. The
rest is detail
Failure is the exception. Men may die, but
very, very seldom do they join the down -and-out
club.
Failure, like disease, always sends warnings;
it rings it's bell and blows it's whistle. And most
men, everywhere able to side step, hedge count
er, duck, climb the fence raise an umbrella, and
cape the grim monster Of defeat.
Always of course, granting the dictum that life
is dangerous business, and of get out of it
alive. But death and failure not Synonymous
Death is as natural as life. and for all we know
just as good. Thomas Carlyle said it was better
but he spoke while yet alive.
The only people who fail are those who take a
sedative and go to sleep the track when they
trouble coming.
Success, of course, is comparative proposition.
There is no such thing an absolute success Nei-
ther should their be absolute failure
Failures can be traced to difnite causes. and
without exception moral bankruptcy precedes the f.
nancial smash. And while we all fail. in certain
things, every day, the who fails absolutely is
very proposition, with something percuiarly
abnormal in his construction.
The law of average will show that most of our
acts and decisions right and proper, and alto
gether worthy. Mentally, the failure is defective;
physically, wreck; morally, degenerate.
The number of failures large because
publicity is given TO bad than to good
news. Success and good news not proclaimed
from the housetops. The happy. efficient, successful
people go quietly about their business and these
in the vast majority Failure is the exception.
Man was made for success.
He who has noby and patiently worked out a
worthy task has already succeeded. And
omnipotence cannot make the past never to have
BEEN The past is ours, and death cannot rob us of
it.
1t is good to live!-H. g.

Will-PoWer

1t is not those who start in with the greatest
hope, and faith, and energy. and courage, but He
that shall endure to the end shall be saved" 1t is
the enduring to the end. Hence let me urge upon
you the speedy learning of this important lesson of
life After you have willed to do good thing <put
your purpose before you; keep clearly, positively
in sight all the tme then, every day and every hour,
resolve to do that which you have determined to do
in other Words insist that you do what you have
wed to do Then you will have mastered your
own idea-"The Insistence of the Human Wip"-
Do you see the thought?
1t is the insistence of the Human Will that COM
pels achievement. 1t is the man that never lets up
that gains the reward. The fact of the matter is
if you are going to achieve anything in life you will
have to be ''drivers"-you will have to keep at it
until you succeed. You will have to he slave
driver and you yourself will be the slave willingly
gladly, joyously, of your purpose? Do you want
to do the things that you have willed to do. Some
of get the idea that bondage-to be bound to any
thing-is always an unpleasant thing. Not at ALL
Bind yourself to high and noble purpose
Let us say Il will!' and then insist upon the
will doing the things we have said we will do. It's
the surest stepping stone to The tremen-
dous nsistence of the human Will."-H. G.

Another Year Rolls Away

With this issue The MIRROR enters upon it's
thirty third year of existence. Thirty-wo years of
success as prison paper is reward that few, if
any, in the field lay claim to, and we sim
cerely hope that its future holds forth the promise
of reaching that goal toward which its founders
buided-the amelioration of the condition and re-
demptIon of the fallen man.
During the past year there has been little
change in THE MIRROR itself; it has gone the even
tenor of it's way being unaffected by the fortunes
of war and causes arising therefrom and weathering
successfully the terrible epedemic of Spanish infu-
that swept through this institution in all it's
ferceness last fall and winter.
The job department connected with THE MIR
RoR however, has grown considerable during the
past year. In fact there few shops on the out
side, if any, with the equipment that turn out
as large an amount of work.
During the fiscal year of 1888, that is for
the eleven months beginning August 1. 1918. and
ending June 80, 1919, the beginning of the fiscal
year changed in 1918 from August l to July L,
there 1857 ,3l7 pieces of ruling and printing
turned out in this department an actual cost of
$4,73629. The estimated outside cost of this same
amount of work would be S13,5O1 IL; saving of
49, 764. 81 to the institution its printing bill.
During the fiscal year of 1918 the cost of printing
turned out was $4,175.O8 estimated outside cost
$12,692. s6; showing saving of $8,51728..

Bring Back the Birds

Birds are mans best defense against insect
pests. Without birds the earth would soon become
uninhabitable. Within a generation bird life in ag-
ricultural America has sensbly decreased and in
sect life has steadily increased until it has

fact that the insect eating bird is not only pleasant
visitor. but preserver of human life.

Cutting down forests clearing up fencerows, burn
ing brush lands and swamps drive birds TO look
for shelter elsewhere.
But a land need not remain ragged nor unin-
habited in order to sustain sufficient population of

and men can live and thrive neighbors
where birds abound raise their young safely in

Birds quickly learn where friendly people dwell
There are but few empty wren houses in Minneapo-
s and if the number of bird houses were increased
each year for ten years, badly bird family would

ennials that might we'll grace every home ground,
furnish acceptable cover for BIRDS if maraudne cats
and other predatory enemies are held in check.
No farmer can be too busy to make his farm
bird refuge. 1t needs comparatively little effort and
study to provide inviting bird conditions on farm.
Study of bird life with it's vital relation human
life should be required in all schools.
The bird population of America is esti-
mated to be less than half what it was, and ap-
parently is still decreasing. This deplorabe condi-
ton is wholly due to the Indifference of men to the
benefcent character of birds. We can fill the land
with birds again, if we will.

Flower Sunday

The ceremony of Flower Sunday, established by
Miss Frances Willard. founder of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union a number of years ago
for the purpose of bringing little sunshine into the
lives of those confined within prison walls through
gifts of wildfowers and appropriate ceremonies.
singing and welfare talks held at the institution
last Sunday, August 3. with Miss Rozette Hendrix,
president of the Minnesota w. G. T. u, presiding.
Interspersed with the regular chapel program
was scripture reading by Miss Rozette Hendrix:
a delightful duet by Mrs. E. E. Hickman and
Miss Ringrose of Minneapolis; interesting and
helpful sermon. delivered convincingly, by Miss
Mary Z. Barbour OF Minneapolis, and solo by Mrs.
Hickman.
Each lady of the w. G. T. U. (there being
about 40 PRESENT. was presented with neat SOU
venir program enclosed within pretty and
tied with a white silk ribbon, a token to their
thoughtfulness for the welfare of the inmates.
After the services, as the inmates marched out
of the chapel each presented with the
blem of the day-a boquet of wildfowers picked and
tastefuy arranged by the hands of the ladies of the
w. G. T. U. themselves.
The inmates appreciate the Flower Sunday
vice and look forward to it each year of the
bright spots that brings to mind the pleasing thought
that though other friends may fall away the ladies Of
the w. G. T. U. stand ready to fill their place.

anything that comes in their way and then slip in
to the pouch again with terrified manner.
One young kangaroo rather an exception,
for he kept quite close while the keeper giving
