Prison His SafeEuard

It has remained for prisoner in the
Indiana state prison to tell the oldest
tale, and then to prove it, that ever
was heard in penal institution. The
name of the prisoner is John Rode.
Rode recently told Warden Reid that
while out on parole he had been chased
by highway robbers, and, fearing that
he would have his money taken from
him, he buried it in a sand pile along
one Of the country roads leading out
of Michigan City. After burying the
money he walked into Michigan City
ard asked the warden to take him back,
saying that he was happier inside.
The man was given his old cell. The
warden, to verify the story, gave Rode
half a day off to recover his money.
Within few hours the prisoner re-
turned, carrying tin can under his
coat. In it was $155, which Rode had
saved from his pension--Detroit Free

Fancy two plants being so unfriend-

is death to the other. Yet that is the
case with two well-known British
plants. These are the thistle and the
rape. If the field is infested with this

and ruin the crops, all you have to do
is to sow it with rape. The thistle
will be absolutely annihilated.
Paper cog wheels have been satisfac-
torily tested. One would imagine that
paper in any form could hardly be
strong enough for such a purpose, but
it has been found eminently suitable
even in respect to tenacity; the be-
havior of pipions that have been work
ing necessarily for two years have
suficed to show that paper pinions
are not only strong, but, as night be
expected, exceedingly durable. Per-
haps their most conspicuous merit is
their noiselessness in working with
iron or other metallic wheels.

railroad. Must BE Good.

The railroads are blamed with be-
ing contributory agent to, if not
the direct cause of, the coal famine
which has been experienced in Kansas
during the last couple of months.
The investigation as to the cause of
the famine, which has been conducted
by the joint legislative committee,
while it has developed that the strike
of the anthracite coal miners in Penn
sylvania is the basic cause of the
famine, has also shown that the con-
fscation of coal by the railroads has
done much to render conditions in
many places, and especially the state
institutions, more serious.

the conclusion that the boy accident
