Burton H. Warner, of Hamden, who es-
capped from the insane asylum at Middle
town about month ago, was caught
here this morning by Officers Pickering
and Lawlor and is now in custody.

fully feigned insanity at the time he was
tried. Warner stole bicylces all over the
country before being caught. He will
probably be locked up again.

FERNS.

The beautiful green ferns, whose wav-
ing leaves you have often gathered with
your own hands. are another group of
plants that neither blossom nor bear
seeds, but grow from spores. Have you
ever noticed the pretty little brown
spots on the under side of the fern
leaves? Sometimes they are tiny round
ish dots scattered in patterns along the
under part of the leaf or frond, for frond
is the name given to the leaf of the
graceful ferns. As is the name botan-
lists use, and is not hard, suppose we say
frond. In some kinds of ferns, instead
of scattered dots you find the markings
of different shape, often along the seal
Hoped edges of the frond. If you look
for these markings in early spring, you
will not find them; but little later you
will see faint light green spots appear
ing, and later still these grow brown.
These spots are the fruit of the fern;
that is. they are little cases that bear
the spores from which new plants will

should not possess. wherein it is easy to
recognize all the failings which are still,
among us. Leggy hounds, weedy hounds
fiat sided hounds, fiat-footed hounds, I'M
dersized hounds. headstrong hounds,
hashy hounds, sulky hounds, dwellers,
babblers, skirters-all are faithfully por-
trayed and uncompromisingly con-
demned Hounds with such faults as
these, whether due to nature or to bad
training, are Of little worth; they are
enough to disgust even a truly keen
sportsman"

small, sinewy head, long, round. fexi.

put the critical eye, when Grant ap-
piled to him, and seemed, like all the
others, to be disposed to measure the
unassuming man by his clothes rather
than by his record and his intelligence.
He, too, said: well, don't know that
there is anything you can do to help us.
We are pretty we'll organized. But" he
added. "hold on; you must know how to
rule blanks for the making out of such
reports as we make up. You certainly
learned how to do that when you were
in the army"
"Oh, yes," replied Captain Grant, II
know how those blanks should be
ruled"

ant-general. 1--WE are short of these
blanks. The department at Washing
ton cannot forward us the printed blanks
as fast as we need them, the demand is
80 great. l think I'll set you to work
ruling blanks. You may come around
tomorrow"
Captain Grant came, according to ap-
pointment, and paper. ink, and pen, with
ruler, were given to him. But he was
not permitted to have desk in the room
where most of the clerks Of the adjutant-
general worked. That was a room we'll
carpeted, room with handsome desks.
and other convenient and com Portable
furniture. Just outside of it was little
ante-room, where the floor was bare, and
the only furniture was plain table and
a hard-bottomed chair. There they put
Captain Grant and set him to work rul-
ing blanks; and thus, in that humblest
of clerical work. he who was few years
later to command all its armies, and
finally to rule the nation, began his for
NAL service in the war.-E. j. Edaoards
