One day the superintendent was escorting a party of visitors and explained to them the use of the shield over the reed rolls of the mangle, saying that if it were out of place there would be great danger of the workers’ fingers being caught between the rolls and a serious accident occurring before the machinery could be stopped. Mamie heard his remark and the visitors had no sooner left the laundry than she turned to Miss B. and said: “Say, Miss B., if I put my fingers in there, would it draw in my arm and crush it?” Miss B. answered, “Of course it would, you silly girl.” Mamie declared, “I am going to try it,” and at once lifted the shield and would have put her fingers between the rolls had not Miss B. grappled with her. Mamie struggled desperately and would have overpowered Miss B. but she called for help and it took three of the employees to drag Mamie away to safety. It is needless to say that Mamie’s work in the laundry ceased with that incident. * * * * * _Farewell, and Don’t Come Back!_--The editors of prison newspapers sometimes “gets theirs” in very pleasant fashion. Here is one of the most recent events of the kind, quoted from the Mirror, published at the Minnesota State Prison: “‘Chip’, the editor of Our View Point, the Walla Walla, Washington, prison paper, has been paroled after serving several months conscientiously and well as the guiding spirit of that publication. Prior to his departure for the outside world, the inmates subscribed a dime apiece and presented him with a watch as a testimonial of their appreciation. The presentation speech was made by the warden in the presence of the inmates in the chapel, the Sunday prior to his departure.” * * * * * _Hayward._--Here is a story to make a man “feel good”. Harry S. Hayward, after seven years’ influential work with the newspaper called the Cumberland, Md., News, disappeared recently because politicians and evil interests he had opposed learned that he had served in prison, and threatened to reveal his past. Hayward had made very many friends. The proprietor of the newspaper received a letter from Hayward, in which he reviewed the trials he had endured in trying to live down the past, and in which he declared that he was determined to lose himself in some distant part of the country, and continue the struggle to live a decent life. The proprietor, W. W. Brown, immediately tried to reach Hayward, but in vain. He inserted then the following advertisement in papers all over the country: H. S. Hayward:--Have known two years. We are with you to the end. Come back soon. W. W. Brown. Many prominent citizens joined in the effort to find Hayward. The Governor of Maryland pardoned him and restored him to citizenship. And, finally Hayward came back, in triumph. * * * * *
