the detectives found two sticks of dynamite
in the vahse, along with lot of safe blow
ing tools. Had Connors been a more hard
hearted rascal some one might have been
blown TO eternity by n short cut with that
dynamite.
He was taken back 70 Minneapolis but he
escaped from jail, and vas not recaptured
The theft OF the diamond pin in Missouri
sent him to prison again, where he gave the
name OF Cummisky. and the chance recogni-
ton of a few days ago will return him to
Minneapolis to serve out his Old term when
his time in the Missouri prison is finished
An exciting chapter for a novel, too, could
be made out of the recent escape Of James
Crawford from the Ohio penitentiary. He
occupied a cell in third range there be-
ing two ranges above him.
After obtaining file from the prison shops
he cut the lock of his cell door. In some way
he had got hold of a rope with two hooks
tied at the end. When he had worked his
way out of his cell he went TO the rear Of the
corridor, where there is a temporary ladder
for the use Of the guard This landed him on
top of the cell block within fifteen feet of the
beams supporting the roof He threw the
rope over one of the beams and went up hand
over hand, escaping to the roof through
veutilator. Then he had but TO scale wall
and he was free.
There is considerable romance in the case
of Robert Z. Click. the trusted convict Of
Joliet prison. Click, many years ago, killed
a man in q quarrel The man was rushing
toward him with a knife in his hand when
Click killed him, and when Click was sen,
fenced for life many people considered the
punishment TO be too severe. Click would be
keeping company with the other miserable
life prisoners III the stone shop gang had he

THE SUN CUP.


The earth is the cup Of the sun,
That he fiIleth at morning with wine,
With the strong, warm wine Of his might
From the vintage of gold and Of light
Fills it, and makes it divine.
And at night, when his journey is done,
81 the gate OF his radiant hail
He setteth his lips to the briIn,
With long last look of his eye.
And tits it, and draineth it dry
Drains I'll he leaveth it all
Hollow and empty and dim
And then, as he passes to sleep,
Still full OF the feats that he did
Long ago in Olynpian wars,
He closes il down with a sweep
OF his slow turning luminous lid,
It's cover Of darkness and stars,
Wrought once by Heph@stus of old
With violet and yastneSS and gold

WHAT NAV HAPPEN

WHAT MAY HAPPEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE
There is an evening reception at the White
House. Everybody of Importance in the
capital is invited The house is a blaze
of light. The Marine band plays sweetly in
the vestibule From till II o'clock a stream
of carriages rolls up to the door. From them
alight the genius and beauty Of the nation.
One after another they disappear within the
portals-often they come so rapidly that the
accumulated crowd fills the wide porch and
on New Years and other levee days the line
of waiting guests extends block or two,
through the yard and down the street Let
us follow these crowds into the house. Turn
ing to the diagram we find them first in apart
ment No. l, the vestibule, which the Marine
band has already occupied. Here the men
turn to the right and leave hats and coats in
the little rooms numbered IL and 13, rooms
which are soon full 10 overlooking with head
gear and apparel.
Meanwhile the ladies have crowded their
way through these very rOoHs-there is no
other way-into the corridor numbered II
and to the room marked Z. The latter is the
state dining room, from which the table and
Bullets have been removed. and in their place
put a lot of boxes to serve as receptacles for
cioakS and bonnetS. Soon these are all filled,
and late corners must throw their costly finery
upon the floor In some manner, it is not
easy to tell how, husbands and wives and
other ladies and their escorts get together
again IN the veStibule, and Join the dense line
OF waiting people who are slowly moving
toward the reception room. Through q door
IN the glass partition indicated in the dia-

for St Louis. What McGinn did, no one
knows.
Poole's wife was jointly indicted with him,
but was released on bail. She was lying
very sick III St. Louis at the time of his
escape Poole first went 10 his attorneys
Office, where he left the following note:
Mr. Mcdonald

Then he went to see his wife, transacted a
little business, found two men who promised
to go on his bail bond the next week, played
u game Of billiards and finally made the best
of his way back to the Jail, and returned to
his cell That ne should do this created the
greatest surprise, for it is said that he is al
most certain to be convicted when his trial
comes OF. But he says he only wants justice
and is willing TO stand trial in the hope of
getting 1t.

ordinary trials last all the way from

often even longer. The defendants
usually demand the subpTnas Of a large
number Of witnesses and the officers filing
