it looks like fine organdie, but has

The new shirt-waist materials are all
on sale now, and most tempting they
are in their freshness and dainty col

are worn with the black gowns. or
with dark blue or dark green for that

front, but separately from the lining
below the stirred yoke where the full
ness conceals the fact. The sleeves
are in bishop style shirred to form
cuffs, and are finished with frills

INSANE MANS PATIENCE.
Took Him Three Years to Make Key
But It Was n Good one.

But It Was n Good One.
During the recent visit of the legis-
latlve inquiry committee to the East
ern Indiana Hospital for the Insane.
Superintendent Smith pointed out The
only patient in the institution who is
wearing pair of leather gloves
chained to belt Such is this mans
ingenuity that if his hands were not
fastened the institution would be in
constant trouble because of his skill
in picking locks. He came from
Cleveland, Ind, and was committed
because of his homicidal tendencies.
Three times he escaped, notwith-
standing the vigilance of the attend.
ants, each time going direct to Fort
Wayne where he was recaptured. Az
ter his third re-capture the riot act"
was read to his attendants. but
fourth time he got away, leaving no
trace of mischief behind him. Again
he fed to Fort Wayne, and there the
hospital authorities found him.
After his return the superintendent
began quizzling him as TO the manner
of escape, and the patient laughingly
asserted that 1t was by means of n
pass key. The patient was so elated
over the discontinue of the attend
ants that he was willing to describe
the process. Every attendant had
pass key Of peculiar make. and he fiat.
tered the attendant that he could make
perfect picture of his key. The at.
MT htt, lf
made two sketches, one of which he
concealed, while he surrendered The
other. Some time before he had found
piece of case knife in the yard at
tached TO the hospital, and he stole
small piece of three-cornered file in
the engine room. 1t was par, Of his
duty to assist in carrying food to the
patients, and upon entering the kitch-
en- he always complained of feeling
cold, and while warming himself be-
hind the range he placed the knife
blade to the heated surface. II took
two years to heat it sufficiently TO
draw the temper out, and he spent an
other year filing the knife SO that it
could be used as key.
Meanwhile the attendants had be-
come suspicious that he contemplated
an escape, and nightly his clothing
was taken away and placed in two diff
ferent rooms. The guard passed his
bed every half hour during the night.
but he watched his opportunity and
finally got all his clothing in hand, and
after the guard had made his first
round he unlocked the doors and
walked away refastening Them as he
passed.
The key is now preserved among the
curiOs of the institution. A peculiar
feature is that the patient was unac-
customed TO the use of tools before ad-
mission to the hospital. and never dis
played any mechanical ingenuity I'M
til he began conspiring FOR his own
scape,-Chicago lnter-Ocean.
