Is Said to Have Called On Old Friends
After Escaping From the Pen.
Cuckoo Jim Collins. the once
famous Splinter, who recently escaped
from the penitentiary at Canon, Colo,
where he was serving sentence for 4
diamond robbery, dropped into Rock
Island the other night and had a word
with few of his more intimate ac-
quaintances, according to report. If
he was he did not remain long. for
Cuckoo does not make practice
of hanging around where he is known
under circumstances such as he is at
present surrounded.
Collins only had four more months
to serve in the Colorado pen but what
prompted his desperate break for
liberty was the fact OF having to go
to British Columbia as soon as his
time was out and there stand trial for
another job. Collins several years ago
was married to Miss Annie Cundiff, of
Rock Island, but she was subsequently
divorced from him, and married again.

Fine sponges are used by physicians
in surgical operations and are sometimes
very expensive. Our finest sponges come
from the Mediterranean sea and the
Red sea. They are obtained by divers,
who search for them under rocks and
cliffs, and who remove them carefully
with knife, that they may not be in
jured. The Turks, who carry on the
trade, have between 4, 200 and ., ZOO

The value of the sponges annually coll

varieties are found in the Gulf of Next
coond the Bahama islands. They are
scraped of the rocks with forked instru-
uents, and consequently they are often

All terriers are good. They are at
Ehrewd, game, loyal small chaps as ever
stood upon canine feet or gaZed at their
owner with soulful, loving eyes, and of
them all prefer the fox terrier, either
wire haired or smooth coated. These
aristocratic, diminutive gentlemen IN
qUestiouably are today the most popular
dogs in the wide, wide world, and there
are many excellent reasons why this
should lie so. From the palace to the
cottage these dogs have proved their
st Ring qualities 10 the satisfaction of
all conce rned, and they are especially
well suited 10 the conditions which
govern i'll crowded centers.
When the big st. Bernard, mastiff,
Dane or other heavy breed is painting in
the contracted back yard, bowling on
chain, pining for exercise and freedom,
tie terrier is merely having fun, busy
ing himself about the house, warning
of doubtful iutrCders and generally at
tending to everything which appears to
require supervision. Clever, alert and
stout hearted, he never relaXes his
guard, and he fears nothing. His clever
ness as q rule is "a safeguard against his
making mistakes regarding the desir
ability Of visiting strangers. He seems
inStinctiyely to recognize persons who
are not wanted about the premises, and

have lain down here alive and turned
