escaped and, accompanied by Agnes
Brown, came here last night.
The woman said she had known Reeves

met him he had promised to marry her.

Washington police.
Reeves is grocer who formerly had n
store on New York Avenue He was
sent to st. F.liZabeth's Asylum. About a
week or so ago he escaped. lie was not
regarded as dangerously affected and was
consequently not so closely watched as
many of the patients. For several days
after his escape nothing was heard of
him. As is usual in such cases, DIR. \.
T. Richardson. the Superintendent of the
asylum. sent kilograms to all the large
cities of the country containing deScrip-
tion of Reeves.

grams that the arrest was made in Phil
adelphia. The mulatto girl who is said
to have been with him in Philadelphia is

EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS.

MY wife has a new fad" announced
the fat man with the red face, as he
cheerfully stirred the cooling mixture
before him with a long straw. "She is
going in for hypnotism now, and it has
my sincere and emphatic Endorsement.
She has taken twelve lessons from a
noted professor of the art, and is now
a full-fiedged hypnotist, or thinks she
is, which amounts to the same thing
as far as she is concerned. I was her
first subject, and her success with me
not only pleased her but astonished
her as well. At first I rebelled at be-
ing experimental with, thinking it all
tommyrot; but I am now prepared to
indorse the art to it's full extent. She
got me in a chair and then, standing
in front of Inc, went through a lot Of
m~onkeyshines before my face with her
hands.
Now she said, sternly, you IAN
not leave your chair
Gust to see what her gam was I
gave her the CLASSY eye n made no
move. Her eyes cleaned with tri-
umph, and then she said:
Listen to me! You must no longer
drink intoxicating liquor! If you do
it will make you sick. You will find 1t
is impossible to lift a glass of the vile
stuff to your lips. You cannot even
enter a place where it is sold!'
Then she brought me out of the
trance by swapping her fingers, and an
nounced that her experiment was a
complete success.
Nov the dear woman remains at
home, serenely confident that 1 am no
longer able to indulge in the flowing
bowl, and my plea Of being detained
late at the Office goes without question.

Consolation and Comfort.

out In the open air o alive in some
field of sport, whether 1t be with the
bat, rod or gun; whether we go coast
ing owe the hills and wales On the
wheel or sailing over rough wav or
into serene coves, it is all sport, and the
s%pringing muscles seem to need it. 1t
is bound to happen that sonle mishap
will occur. Thus it is hat we have
sprains in abundance. Light sprains,
sprains that cripple. sprains that give
great pain, sprains that rob us of sleep,
but sportsmen of all kinds nave come
to know that there is nothing better
than the old, reliable ST. Jacobs OIL.

UNIaUn WEDDING PREsENT.

This Is the d Gift of Rn English
Soldier to His Brlde-EIect.
The question SO often ssked what
shall I give her for a wedding pres
ent?" has been answered in an original
ann by an Englishman, who be-
slowed upon his bride-elect the unique
meDemto of a piece of his cwn skull,
tastefully set in gold. Such an offering
could not be general under the best
circumstances, for, after all, a skull
has its limits, and a fellow must retain
enough to cover the little brain he pos
sesses, or there would be no marriage
ceremony.
In the present instance, this sent1-
mental giver had his head cracked by a
Boer, and the surgeon who did the tre-
panning kindly saved the pieces
When the man recovered he took one
bit, after it had been cured, to a jewel
er, who fashioned a fetching little
frame for it. The bride, it is said, now
wears the souvenir mex her heart; but
When she can have the real thing, 1t
does seem silly. However, the real
pinch will come when divorce is in the
air.

A SOLDIER WHO PAINTED.

The other day Richard Harding
Davis was asked by a vivacious hostess
to tell some story about the Spanish
American war that was funny and not
gloomy, for" said she, there must
have been amusing incidents also"
WELL" said the young author re-
fiectively, "of course no great tragedy
is complete without it's element of
comedy. I remember particularly n
little incident in the crudely fixed up
hospital tent in Siboney, which, de-
spite its pathos, was so droll as to
bring a smile to even the faces of the
boys on the stretchers. There was n
young fellow who had been laid up
with a bad case of fever. He was a
big, raw-boned, overgrown fellow,
came from 'Cincy,' he said, and as he
tossed about from side to side he kept
telling me that he was restless as a
wildcat, tired Of being chained to a
blank cot, sick of being coddled like a
baby, the smell of disinfectants made
but from a longing to get out into the
air with the boys and be in the fight.
Cant o get the doctor to let me
out, Mr.. Davis? he begged pathetically.
I'll do what I cam I said, and as
the doctor happened to be passing l
called him over and put the matter be-
fore him.
'Nonsense!' he exclaimed. Just
look at him. Is he fit-now, is he?
Look at that face, will you-red and
blotched with fever. He's in no con-
dition to get out
"The boy had gradually raised him
sef eagerly on to his elbow, but as the
doctor finished speaking his head fell
back hopelessly.
"fFever! Red!' he cried querulous-
ly; 7 paint, doctor! It's just paint, I
tell you New York Times.

SYMPATHY FOR THE HORSE.

The wife OF a clergyman, who has
assumed for several months as a mat
ter of accommodation to the parishion-
ers the care of the church at the fash
ionable country place in which he has
his summer home, occasionally tries to
interest himself in the affairs of the
few country people who, with the New
York millionaires, make up the con-
gregation; so she stops at the houses
of those she knows when she is driv-
ing. The other day she halted at the
house of an old woman who devoted
herself to the customary account of
her troubles. The minister's wife was
duly sympathetic. AS a matter of fact
she had long been an active sympa-
thizer in the s.. p. G. A., and her char
ity went more in that direction than in
any other.
my poor son. the old woman went
on, has to work so hard. He is a
driver for a grocery, and he has to
drive from z in the morning until z at
night"
The expression on the visitors face
showed plainly she thought such treat
ment outrageous.
Tell me where your boy is en-
ployed," she said, "and I will do what
l can to stop such a dreadful thing. It
is intolerable cruelty to drive any
horse that long at a stretch. I'll see
the grocer tomorrow"
1t seemed to the old woman that
there was something wrong about the
visitors expression of regret we her
son, but it sounded friendly, at all
events, and she did not analyze it toe
deeply.-New York Sun.

Easv come. Easy Go.

The mnn who creeps along. bent over,
with his spinal column feeling in a con-
dition to snap like a pipestem at any
minute, would readily give a great deal
to get out of his dilemma, and yet this
is only the commonest form by which
lumbago seizes on and twists u Of
shape h muscles of the back. This is
commonly known as backache, a crick
in the back, but by whatever name 1t
may be known, and however bad it
may be, 10 minutes vigorous rubbing
with st. Jacobs Oil on the afflicted
part will drive out the trouble and COM
pletely restore. 1t is a thing SO easily
caught, it may be wondered at Why
there is not more of it, but because it
is so easily cured by st. Jacobs OIL may
be the very reason we hear so little of
1t.
