MIRRORETTES

Mass was held in the chapel Sunday
morning.
We lost mighty clever monologist
last week when Mr.. NJ. G. left this insti-
tuition.
This institution will transfer between
100000 and 100000 pounds of twine to
the Repair Department, St. Paul.
The score board has been painted and
vanished, preparatory to the baseball sea-
son, but we don't think it will be used
for few weeks yet.
Encouraging reports have been re-
ceived from the bedside of DR.. Newman,
our institutional physician, who is in St.
Lukes' hospital, St. Paul.
We have received a number of poems
we are holding for the poetical edition
referred to in our last issue. Keep up the
good work boys. Let us show what we
are capable of doing.
The rehearsals for the entertainment
to be given by the Pierian Chautauqua
Circle, at the quarterly meeting, on March
IL, are coming on splendidly and the
talent displayed by the boys is really re-
markable.
-Pierian Chautauqua Circle president,
Mr.W. ]. McC., is just about the busiest
man in the institution. He is unceasing
in his efforts to make the entertainment
on March IL, the greatest ever given in :
this institution.
There is so much doing in the print
shop that some of the boys have been
working nights. To give little idea of
what is going on, we will state that we
are turning out one job of 10000 pieces,
in four colors of ink, printed on both sides,
for the machinery department, and an
other job of 100000 pieces for the twine
department.

A PERFECT DAY

When YOU come to the end of perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought;
While the chimes ring out with carol gay
For the JOY that the day has brought.
Do you think what the end of perfect day
Can mean to tired heart,
When the sun goes down with flaming ray
And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of perfect day,
Near the end of a journey, too;
But it leaves thought that is big and
strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For mem'ry has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of perfect day
The soul of friend we've made.

DEAR MOTHER

Across the long and dusty miles that lie
between
Our old home and this present one of
mine,
My thoughts 60 racing back to you
And those childhood days sublime
To those days we were together, to those
happy
Days in the long ago;
To the things we did and things we
thought and said
With our hearts all aglow;
When our hearts and home with peace
and joy was bound;
But even yet,
Tho we're far apart, that old love still
holds true;
Mother, l can't forget.
l see your path of thought too, is always
close to mine,
Many times they cross;
And since you're a thousand miles away,
Oh, how l feel my loss.
But memory remains, and there mother,
In its shrine,
Is place that is just for you,
Dear mother o'mine.

TWO MEN

I met man the other day
Who talked SO harsh and loud;
His disposition / would say
Was very like cloud.
He talked so rough and saucy,
Regardless of what you'd done;
His ways were somewhat bossy,
His confidence could not be won.
l met another man today,
Walking in the park;
And his life l would say
Was not in the least dark.
He turned his clouds inside out,
For they had a silver lining;
He always wore them round about;
For they were bright and shining.

WORTH WHILE

Try little shake of laughter in the doings
of the day,
Scatter golden bits of sunshine as you plod
along the way
Stop to cheer fellow human that's bit
worse off than you
Help him climb the pesky ladder that you
find so hard to do;
Show by every daily motive, every thought
and every deed
You are one that folks can turn to when
they find themselves in need;
Just forget the rugged places-make be-
lieve they're slick and smooth;
When you spot the troubled faces, pull
grin and try to soothe;
Lifc's game-a mighty short one-play it
gamey while you can
Let the score book show the record that
YOU measured up MAN!
Pretty homes and marble towers won't
avail you very much.
When you've passed-unless you've helped
to Tighten heavy loads and such,
Better far to have your neighbors say you
were cheerful chap,
Always kind and always helpful-if you're
that, you'll leave gap:
You may scatter filthy lucre to your merry
hearts content,
And forgotten be much sooner than some
good-souled homeless gent;
Chances are that in the making of your
sordid pile of cash,
In your handclasps you were taxing,
though you did show pep and dash;
Never mind about the fortune you made
up your mind to pile
But just live the GOLDEN RULE, lad,
and your life will be worth while.

happy childhood home, had brought a
yearning once more to behold the garden
where his dear, sweet mother watched
him roam ere she departed and the place
was sold. Irresistibly the magnet of the
past drew him until he came to see the
house, the roses and the rustic bench be-
meath the tree where to him, mother, in
the days of old, quaint tales had told.
Deeply moved he wiped away tear and

society, no longer part of such considered

escaped his tortured breast as he re-
viewed his past and realized how his sins

Shame made him kneel in prayer; until
revealing himself in all his glory, life and
death, there came with tender ministra-

Nazareth. And the convict would solilo-

time and cleared the slate and could re-

800 BILLIONS
SPENT IN ELECTR|Fy|NG
Frank E. Watts Says U. S. Will
Invest That Sum or More
in Six Years.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. October ID
Within the next six years more than
$500, 1000. 100000 will be spent in the
additional electrification of America.
said Frank E. Watts, New York. edi-
tor of the Electric Record, in an
address to the annual convention of
the National Association of Electri-
cal Contractors and Dealers here.
"The possibilities of electrical de-
velopment are unlimited" said Mr..
Watts. Eight million homes in the
United States are now wired for
electricity-six million are not. Halt
Of those will be wired within the
next few years
"How rapidly the central power
stations are expanding is indicated
by the fact that last year the light
600 in new development. And in the
next six years they will spend a
total Of $4,000. 100000 to extend their
electrical service to the homes and
factories in America"
Mr.. Watts predicted the harnessing
of rivers and waterfalls. similar to
the harnessing Of Niagara Falls. He
said that if @ few tons Of cement
were dumped into the st. Lawrence
river to make a dam. enough power
could be created to solve the coal
problem in New England. He said
that d recent survey of the Atlantic
seaboard industrial region showed
that it would cost $1S5.00O.O0O to
electrify the region. but it would re-
suit in a saving Of S190.0OO.0O0 yearly.

"A Wide Open Town"

"A Wide Open Town" Selznick Pic ture-starring Conway Tearle, which is the attraction at the Lyric theatre to- day, at once suggests the gambling story. Those who see the photoplayi however. will discover that the gam bling interest is by no means para mount.
 The story, written by Earl Mitchell, has to do with the refinement in the calderon of adversity of a youngster born in unhappy environment in order that he may become big, strong, out standing character in the everyday life of an average community.
 Conway Tearle, star of "A Wide Open Town has always been greatly admired by photoplay devotees for the reason that he is rarely, if ever, seen in the idllic roles which are so often entrusted to male screen stars. In "A Wide-Open Town" the character he portrays is one which will appeal to every man and woman who has learn ed from bitter experience that ex- peeted perfection in human nature scarcely ever materializes.

 He had caught the hand at his lips and kissed it.. But at the word wife" he made ever so slight a movement, less than start, more a catching of the breath. But to Molly it was quite pefceptible and it seemed as though her heart had stopped beating and would never go on again. Then, with a rush, Don's emotion, stronger than he had counted on,. swept him on, past calculation.
 ''Yes, my wifei" he cried on a gasp ing breath. 'Tonight-next year-all my life long I'll sing -it-MoIly, my little wifei"
