THOMAS w. ALEXANDER

1t is with extreme regret that we have
to record the death of Captain T. w.
Alexander, who has been connected with
this institution in an official capacity for
over thirty-eight years. In the first issue
of THE MIRROR, August 10th, 1887, we
find Mr.. Alexander was mentioned as
guard in Shop J. During the admins
trations of Wardens Reeve and Wolfer
he was Deputy Warden. Mr.. Alexander
was born in Montreal, Canada, October
90, 1916, and passed away at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Hugh Wills, Min
neapolis, on June 10. Funeral services
were held Thursday afternoon, June 81,
at the First Presbyterian church, Still
water, Rev. Gilbert 1. Wilson of ST. Paul
officiating. Mrs. E. OBJ. Freleigh and
Mrs. Everett Doran sang "Abide With
Me" and LEAD Kindly Light" St. Johns
Lodge A. F. and A. M. attended the SER
vices in body and acted as escort to
Fairview cemetery where they held their
ritualistic services. Such, in brief, is a
memorial notice of Thomas w. Alexander
but how unsatisfying to his many, many
friends. What we want to put on record
is that his friends more than respected
him-they loved him. Mr.. Alexander was
simple in the most charming sense of the
word. He seemed to respect all men and
looked for the good that was in them and
all men respected him. He gave more to
the world than he took from it. He gave
more in counsel-more in kindness-more
in sympathy. He helped everyone he could
help-every time he could help them. This
is why his associates, companions and
friends loved him and why they sincerely
mourn his loss.
Mr.. Alexander left three children. One
of the sons, w. T. Alexander, is superin-
tendent of the twine factory in this insti-
tuition.

names in the social columns of the Sun
day papers. They had little fear of dis
covery and its resultant scandal, even if
caught in one of the occasional police
raids, for "Porky" McGovern was the
power which sat upon the political throne
in his district. A wink or gesture to
the raiders usually secured immunity for
the adventurous respectables.
AS Justice passed along, she beheld
young men still in their teens, Aashily
dressed, with gaudy silk or white linen
handkerchiefs tied about their collars, the
corners Topping upon their backs as they
danced with coarse-featured and vulgar
acting women whose faces became
streaked with perspiration amid the thick
paint which they wore.
At the rear of the hall were several
heavy round tables, upon which were bot
ties and glasses sitting in spilled beer
and foam. Here sat men and women of
all ages, and in various stages of intoxi-
cation, talking, laughing, and drinking
Walters were continually hurrying back
and forth, bringing fresh bottles and re-
moving the emptes. Cigarette stubs and
cigar butts lay scattered about the floor
in pools of stale beer. A young woman
fell from her chair into the slime, and
was helped to her feet amid roars of
laughter All this and more, Justice saw
and heard as she fingered and finally
passed out of the place.
"What a cesspool Ana open to the
public" she unused to herself. Everyone
seemed to know about it-slumming par
ties from the most fashionable part of
town often came in their limousines to
view the sight-and the authorities knew
about it, for there stood an officer in full
uniform, calmly looking on!" She re-

known escort, but she had vanished. Be-
fore she could fully recover from her sur
prise, soft whistle was heard to her
rear, and two shadowy forms darted past
a lamp-post in the park half block away.
A polceman's whistle rang out, and an
officer came rushing out of the fog ahead
and passed Justice as he turned into the
park. Justice stood as though glued to
the sidewalk, straining her eyes towards
the spot where voices were heard. Present.
ly an officer came hurrying to the call
box near her, and, finding her voice, she
ventured to ask, "Is someone hurt? Can
l help? l am nurse from the Dea-
coness home!"
"You bet!" responded the officer. 81
just called an ambulance,-man black
lacked over there,-this way Miss!"
They hurried into the park to where
another officer stood beside a dark form
lying upon the grass. AS the policeman
flashed his light Justice knelt upon the
sod and raised the head of the stricken
man to her knee, felt his pulse and then
spoke assuringly," Nothing serious I think,
he is regaining consciousness now!"
The patient opened his eyes and groaned
slightly, following which a faint smile
appeared for moment upon his features.
Justice bandaged his head with gauze
from her emergency kit; then the am
bulance arrived with Gathering gong,
and the hapless victim was carried
swiftly away through the darkness to
hospital. The officers thanked Miss True
and she went on her way, while the two
policemen resumed their vigil.
