Rose is an odd little girl, very con-
scientious, considering that she Is only
four years old. The other day she
came to her mother with a half penitent,
half triumphant look on her face.
"What is the matter, dear?" said her
mother.
"Well," she said, 81 told you would
tell you in three days, and I'm going to
tell you now"
"Tell me what"
ooh, that ate the green apples. You
see, it was this way: ate three green
apples last Tuesday! After I'd eaten
them I begun to think that I'd be awful
sick, but l didn't come and tell you
about it; I just went up to my room and
told God. oh, Godr said, IF you will
keep mo from being sick with these
green apples, in three days I'll tell my
mamma all about itp So I didn't get
sick at all, and now I've told YOU"

For about ten minutes ghost was
supposed to have taken charge Of Bos-
ton dime museum. The sweeper, pre-
pairing to clean the main room, placed
Mr.. Bass, the ossified man, in a corner,
and that bony gentleman leaned lazily In
the angle. The sweeper hurried with his
work, and passed to the next room, leav-
ing nobody in sight but the mechanic,
who was fixing the electric lights. The
silence Of the grave was broken by q
sepulchral voice, which came from the
ossified man, uttering these words, az
want my breakfastp' The mechanic fell
from the ladder and crawled hastily out
of sight. In the next room, with hair
standing erect, he exclaimed; Don't go
in there! One of the wax figures Is

now One proverb Originated,

When the ginseng trade was at its
height it was considered more profitable
to gather ginseng than to cultivate the
farm, and agriculture was almost en-
tirely neglected. The result was that
the plant almost entirely disappeared.
1t came to be proverb among the peo-
pie, when speaking Of some matter that
had failed, "Ceste tombe CONNIE lie GIN
seng" ct has gone down like ginseng).-

REFUSED TO ESCAPE.
Murderer HarbIn Declines to Break jail at
Poplar Bluff, Mo.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, September c.
Nine of the twelve prisoners in the
county iail here made their escape last
night. But that is not so remarkable as
the fact that DR.. Harbin, who is SEN
fenced to be hanged early in November,
refufed to 60 with them, and remained
in his cell to await his fate. They were
determined that he should go and began
filing the lock from his cell door; but
he begged them to stop, saying he ala
foir: forty-two days granted by Governo6rr
Francis on August 20, the day before he
was to have been executed, and the scat
fold is still standing beside the jail
awaiting it's victim.
The escaping prisoners were well
supplied with files from without, with
which they cut through the iron bottom
of the cell corridor and then Ding
through the outer brick wall. 1t is be-
lieved that outside aid was furnished
principally for Harbin'S benefit
Among the meen who escaped are
three indicted for murder and most of
the others for feionies. The other two
who remained are woman, who was in
another room, and young fellow who
has no fear of conviction. No clew has
yet been discovered as to who furnished
the tools. The work was begun yester-
day morning and the escape was made
at IL o'clock last night.
Sheriff Gardner went in pursuit of the
escaped prisoners early this morning.
and soon learned that the three mur-
derors had stopped at a house four
miles south Of town, and in the direction
of the home of two OF them, and de-
manded food. Later it was learned that
one of them had entered house at Ash
Hill and taken Winchester rifle with
fifteen cartridges in it. This man was
Wallard, who hid in the woods and shot
old man Yarbrough at work in his field
for little money. He is desperate
character, and has left word all along
his track that they may ''take my body
back, but not me-" The Sheriff has sent
for posse, and already rumors OF shoot
ing, probably unfound5d are afoat, but
their will undoubtedly be an exciting
hunt.

FORCED TO GIVE UP.

Benefit OF His Creditors.


PITTsBURG, September 6.-The last
speck OF hope held out for James A.
Chambers fiickered and died yesterday,
and at 11:40 o'clock his attorney, j.
Scott Ferguson, filed for him deed OF
assignment to Major William G. Nc
Candless, the insurance broker, cover
ing his assets and liabilities.
No statement of his assets and liabili-
ties is obtainable at present, though Mr..
Ferguson and others who have examined
into the matter believe that hundred
cents Oh the dollar can be realized for
all the creditors, including those who
hold the paper of the Standard Plate
Glass Company, for which Mr.. Cham
bers, as indorser, Is responsible.
1t is matter Of public discussion
that Mr.. Chambers creditors all agreed
to relieve him of his financial embaras-
ment by extending the time OF his obli-
cations, except H. Sellers Mckee, TO
whom he was indebted in the sum OF
about $500, 900. Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Mckee was collaterally Sc
cured, he demanded payment, which
after exhausting every effort, Mr..
Chambers was unable to meet. A num-
Der of propositions were submitted to
Mr.. Mckee, which he declined to ac-
cept, though it is represented that he
held the matter under advisement for
several days.

lege which it is proposed TO establish In

ton. Prof. Davenport will thoroughly
consider the offer before arriving at q

ROBS RER FATHER
And Then Elopes With Young Man Who
Was Forbidden to See Her.

Was EOrOluueu TO see 1eC.
DAYTON. o., September 6.-Yesterday
morning Morgan Gray appeared at po-
lice Headquarters and said that his
daughter, Miss Ella Gray, aged seven
ana valuable deeds and notes, and had
eloped with a young man named Louis
Motel. He explained that Motel had
been calling on his daughter, and had
proposed marriage and had been accept
ed by his daughter. But that he and
his wife did not want Motel to marry
their daughter. After explaining the
matter TO Motel and his daughter, he
imagined that the matter was settled
and that Motel would seek another
partner for the future. The young
couple, however, were OF a different
opinion. They were charmed with the
unerring shaft from Cupid's bow, and
they did not propose to give up the
idea of matrimOny without struggle.
Miss Gray was coy and shy, and was
looked upon In the neighborhood as
quite a beauty. Mr.. Motel is also OF a
good family, being a nephew OF Captain
Ed. ZwleSler, of the police force. The
lovers planned an elopement, which was
cOnsummated last night. Miss Gray
retired as usual, and nothing was
thought about her safety or where
abouts until time for breakfast, when
the fond parents began to look for their
daughter. They searched high and low,
and then went to police headquarters
and stated the case as related above.
Mr.. Gray was greatly troubled about
his daughter, and thinks the eloping
couple went to Canada instead of Ken
tucky. He has telegraphed in all direc-
tions to have the couple apprehended.

occasioned by the presence of minute

Gently been employed in this neighbor-

ing railroad and along the line Of the
New Trenton cutoff from Morrisville to

Wherever these Italians have been
they have left this trail of annoyance
and suffering behind them. Notes and
coin are said to be the most frequent
medium for it's transmission, first from
the Italians to the. shopkeepers, and
then TO the people generally. The soft
parts of the skin between the fingers
and about the wrists and elbows are
most frequently affected.

ST. PETERSBURG, September c.
Newspapers here express confidence
that in view Of the entente cordiale be-

will hesitate to protest against Tur-

of raising thorny questions regarding
Bothnia, Cypress and Egypt, while Tur-
key, strengthened with the knowledge
that the Franco-Russian entente Is .
counterpoise to the Dreibund, will not
be easily intimidated. Thus the papers
believe peace is assured.
