A BOLD ESCAPE.

c. V. Pray. city marshal of Bowie, Tex,
was passenger on the south bound Santa
Fe train due here at 200, Tuesday evening
He had in charge prisoner named o.
Topper, who he was taking from Dodge
City, where he had been captured, to
Texas to answer a charge of burglary.
When between Sedgwick and Valley
Center the prisoner was allowed to enter
the closet. The marshal had one arm
manacled and chain fast to it so he could
hold his man, but let him go in alone, not
supposing that Topper would or could
get out
The train was behind time and was run
ming at forty miles and hour TO gain time.
The officer on the outside of the door
heard glass smash and rushed into the
closet in time to see his man disappear out
of the window, head first. Mr.. Pray tried
to stop the train but did not succeed until
Valley Center was reached. He, however,
came on to Wichita and consulted the
officers, aud then took the north
bound train to Valley Center, where he
secured help and went out to where he
thought the man jumped off, but could
not find any trace of him in the night.
Yesterday morning a search of the
ground was made and glass was discov-
cred where the fellow had lit. Some spots
of blood were also seen, showing that the
man had cut himself in his escape. No
trace of the fellow had been discovered up
to last evening, and the sheriff had sent
out postal cards in all directions contain
ing his description.

Portraits of Christ.

There is no portrait of Christ which
can be pronounced authentic. The jews
were forbidden by their law 10 make
Gkenesses, and so art, as we understand
the word, scarcely had among them an
existence. There are, however, two pOr-
traits which have the merit of extreme
antiquity, and were both probably made
at some time in the First century. The
one is cut on an emerald, the work pur-
porting to have been done by command
of the Emperor Tberius. The jewel was
preserved in the treasury of CONSTANT
nople, but in some way fell into the
hands of the Turks before that city was
taken by them, and about 1888 wSs
given by the sultan TO Pope Innocent
VIII as a ransom for the sultan's bro
ther.
The other portrait is On fine brass
medal discovered in Anglesea, Wales. in
the year 1902. The Workmanship is that
of the First century, and Hebrew In
scription on the reverse declares the por-
trait to be that of the prophet Jesus.
The two portraits bear a close resem-
blance, but it is altogether probable that
both are ideal. and that each followed
the description of Christ given in the
well known but not well authenticated
letter of Publius Leutulus. The napkin
portrait called st. Veronica's is much
more modern, and is probably copy OF
the emerald likeness Louis Globe
Democrat.

a BEAUTIFUL PEARL.

Councilman Mossbacher, the jeweler,
showed us yesterday magnificent pearl,
as large as a small pea. found by boy in
the gravel of the Little river. Mr.. NJ. has
been offered S45 for the pearl, which is per-
feet in shape and without blemish. The
color is lavender and the iridescence Of the
surface very fine.
In the summer OF fall of 1857 party of
southern Kansas prospectors. who lived
in Topeka, discovered that many of the
mussels or CLAIMS of the White river and
of the Little river bore or held pearls. \
large number of them were gathered and
Fred Orlman, a Topeka jeweler, secured a
good share Of them. Our recollection is
that when sent to New York they did not
command the highest or frst-class price
However the one now in possession of Mr.
Mossbacher is a beauty and unqUestion-
ably valuable.

Strange Lap.e Of Memoir,

Cases Of forgetfulness on matters Of
interest are on record. While Or. Priest
ley was preparing his work entitled ''Har-
mony Of the Gospels, he had taken great
pains 10 inform himself on a subject
which had been under discussion rela-
tive 10 the Jewish Passover. He wrote
out the result Of his researches and laid
the paper away. His attention and time
being taken with something else, some
little time elapsed before the subject oc-
CURED 10 his mind again. Then the same
time and pains were given 70 the subject
that had been given 10 it before, and
the results were again put on paper
and laid aside. So completely had be
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before, that
it was only when he had found the papers
on which he had Transcribed them that
it vas recalled 10 his recollection. This
same author had frequently read his own
published writings and did not recognize
them.-BOston Herald.
