ESCAPED FROM PRISON.
A War Veterans story OF Hard Times
Getting Through the Com
federRte Lines.

''We all had been telling stories"
said the major, relates the Chicago
Inter Ocean, except Tulley ,McKin-
ney, of the Ninety fourth Ohio. There
were gathered about the breakfast
table half dozen men from the old
home neighborhood who had served
in as many different regiments. The
ladies of the party had called out
from each stories of army experience,
all of which were interesting and
many very exciting. but through all
of the talk Tulley had said nothing,
until one of the ladies asked him if
he had come through the war I'M
scathed. Yes he said. and then
added in a hesitating way: I had
my feet frozen, you know You
did?' put in young girl. why, how
did that happen. Mr.. Mckinney p
Well he said, after my escape from
prison 1 was in the mountains about
20 days, and-well, the long and short

my feet frozen
: Having said this much, Tulley was
silent again until one of the Young
ladies exclaimed: Mercy, Mr.. McKin-
lney, why don't you tell the story p
And after he had been badgered and
questioned the story came out. 4

Prof. Tyler, of Indianapolis, is the
motive power for this new movement,
and in it he claims to have found that
for which De Soto searched in vain
the fountain of perpetual youth. The
professor claims that cooking is simply
a notion, and bad notion,at that; one
that has brought to the world quite as

Adam. without the notion man should
live, according to the professor, to a
far greater age than is now deemed
possible, and he advances some seem
ingly sound reasons for his statements.
But the professor should beware, or
he may have the Amalga ted Associ-

has he not unconsciously assisted in
the solution of the servant girl prob
lem, even though he may not have
found the fountain of perpetual youth.

tic over the development of the red
men, and when some reformer reaches
the town to preach his doctrine of
Christian charity to the red men of
the forest they take him around to a
little monument that stands near the
Pullman residence on Prairie avenue
and read him the inscription thereon.
1t is not an elaborate inscription, but
it relates in its few words tale that is
sufficiently terrible to strain the nerves
of the timid even at this late day. 1t
tells of the awful fate Of the first white
settlers of Chicago; of the men, wom-
en- and children that went down before
the bloody tomahawks of the Indians
almost a century ago, and the reformer
is sent away a sadder but wiser man.
Chicago has not a monopoly on. these
tales Of savage cruelty. In fact, she
cannot even claim the largest massa-
ere an the history of the nation, but
hers was quite large enough and
bloody enough TO make the Chicago
people look with disfavor upon Prof.

the predominating features. What
more apt comparison can be found for
our "ragtime" dances and music of the
present day than the Indian dances and
music of the past? The Indian and his
weird dances have passed away, and
in their places have come the modern
American and his "ragtime," which.
after all, is seemingly but an encore for
that which is gone.
Then, too, there are the feathers.
The pictures of the Indians that our
histories have preserved for us show
the red nobility OF the past bedecked
with innumera BILE feathers. They were
his pride and his joy. To-day ask the
modern woman of fashion what she
prizes most in. her wardrobe and she
will as q rule point to the feathers
that adorn. her headgear, 1t may not
be an eagles feather, but then the
eagles have gone with the Indians, but
it will be feathers, anything from n
goose quill to bird of paradise, that
she will show you. Is that not an
other symptom of the value of Prof
STAIRS theory?

clothes as nature ans their unwritten
laws permitted-thati is, if the pictures

If these things exist to-day, and who

when they go to buy sleeping car
berth and find that all the lower berths
In the center of the car are sold.
l was standing at the counter in one
of the Chicago ticket offices the other
day when a clerical-looking gentle
man and a woman entered They had
both come to secure sleeping car
berths on the same train, and both
made known their wants at the same
time, but to different clerks. Both
wanted lower berths, and both were
told that there was but one left and
that they could have it.
Then of course there was trouble
The laws of propriety would not per-
NIT them to occupy the berth to-
gether. The lady insisted that she had
spoken hrst, and anyhow the fact of
her being lady should give her the
preference. The gentleman insisted
that he had secured it first, and that
he would willingly surrender it to the
Lady but for the fact of his great weight
making it practically impossible for
him to get into an upper berth
Just as the trouble threatened to re-
suit in a hair-pulling match, a clerk
from the general Office of the road
came in with instructions to hold
lower berth for the general passenger
agent Of the road, and the trouble be-
tween the two was settled by neither
of them getting the berth.
When they left it was with threat
that they would bring a joint suit foF
damages against the road.

near Libby, in Richmond, Va. On the
18th of November a train load of pris-
oners-say about 7o0-were trans
ferred TO Danville and CHARTERED for
the night in tobacco warehouse near
the river.
1--we had not been well fed while
in Richmond. Little food was given
us the morning of the 18th, and none
at all on the night of the 18th, and
none on the 18th. We were two days
without food and nearly starved. On
saturday, the 14th, a young man of
company c, Thirtieth Indiana, offered
to lead the prisoners in breaking
through the gate. The men were des-
perate enough for anything, but
went to the man of the Thirtieth,
who was not more than 20 years Old,
and urged him not to be rash, as there
was a better way.
~ took him into a stockaded or
high-fenced Enclosure leading down
toward the river and showed him
where it was possible to tear away
some heavy boards and escape that
way. That night there was a heavy
rain and it was very ozark. The
guards were only a few feet from us
as we went into he Enclosure, but
they had turned their capes up over
their heads to protect them from the
cold rain and were not very alert
My friend of the Thirtieth had ra-
zor-blade knife, and, crouching in the
dark near the fence, he cut and cut
until part of one of the heavy
boards could be pushed outward.
After the board was reaGy to be
broken off we both went back to the
main floor of the prison, hoping that
rations would be issued before taps

about the scheme, and the Thirtieth
Indiana man told several of his

We're to slip out one by one quietly,
and each was to act on his own re-

my friend and went hurriedly to the
Enclosure. 1 saw his coattail disap-
pearing through the fence. Watching
the guard until he turned his face
away from the fence, went through.
I came out in a cabbage patch,
and my first movement was to tear

was the first food | had had in 4s

see who should compose the expect
ton. When four men had been chosen
they laid their plans. First of all they
were to black their faces, put on rag
ged clothes and then go to the farm
house and get the honey. On their ar
rival they were met by big blood
hound. a shot from one of the guns
silenced the animal. Then the owner
put in an appearance. He was seized
and his gun taken away, placed in the
center of his back, and then his hands
tied behind him andover the gun. Then
he was backed up to tree and left
there. The boys then got into the
honey. To make matters safe they left
a small kettle of it in front of Capt.
Dave Stewards tent. The next day the
owner of the honey came into camp
and declared that our company was
nothing but a set of thieves.
Capt. Stewart became very indic-
liant and asked The man if he could
identity the thieves. He replied that
he could. Then the entire company
had to run the 'gaDtlet,' but a the men
now wore blue uniforms and were not
blacked up, he failed to iden tify them.
When he left, Capt. Stewart said
Boys, don't let your iondness for
honey get the better OF you again."

That is just the predica ment in which
a number of newly married men in Chi

are in, and they are anxiously await
ing developments at st. Joseph that
will either give them a good title TO
their wives or dash their hopes of mat

NIT them TO begin their counting days
all over again with some other girl If
they feel so inclined.
The trouble is, it is feared. there
have been wolves in sleeps clothing in
st. Joseph; that unauthorized men
have led guileless youths to the slaugh-
ter for the two dollars there was in
the job, and not because either the law
or the church gave them the authority.
1t is said that house rent has advanced
in st. Joseph because of the demand
for locations for matrimonial agencies
where three-minute ceremonies might
be performed at the regular rates. Now
it is said that all of these agencies are

of st. Joseph is investigating some of
them in the interests of a few hundred
anxious Chicago husbands.
