In one corner Of the graveyard
Aull would stop and point to seven
graves. They were dug after a clever
attempt to escape about ten years
ago. Forty men were in the plot, and
nearly all of those not killed were
wounded.
While working side by side in the
quarries, George Fredericks and
George sontag plotted the escape.
They discovered that narrow gully
near the quarry was not swept by the
sGatlings and that 1t offered chance
for escape. Fredericks was released
soon after this discovery.
A few days after he reached Sacra.
mento, twenty miles from the prison,
he bought forty rides and large
quantity of ammunition. He loaded
the lot Into covered wagon, and in
the dead Of night he left the city. He
came within a few miles OF the pris-
on before daybreak and hid in thick
wood during the day. Before mid
night he had hidden the rifles and
cartridges at the spot In the gully that
he and sontag had agreed upon.

In the world In that, while combining

unique among such institutions.
Memories OF the eyentful days when
Charles Aull was warden Of Folsom
prison have been recalled by the re-.
cent escape Of convicts from the insti-
tuition. Aull was one Of the most pic
turesque characters developed In the
rough and ready life in California in
the years following the gold discover
les. He was the man who planned
and perfected the unique guarding Of
the Folsom prisoners. and 1t was his
proud boast that In the twenty-five
years he was warden not man es-
capped.
a small graveyard standing outside
the gray sides Of the prison gave Aull
his chance to boast like.this No pris-
oner ever escaped because Aulrs
guards shot any man who tried to flee.
Aull was a splendid marksman, and
he demanded OF his guards the same
skill with firearms. Every week he
held shooting contest and IL any
man fell below percentage Of IS

the witch towers and put to work as
turnkey until he had risen to the de,

Effect of Cutting Clover.

1t is found that red clover produces
more aftermath If the first crop has
not been cut too close, and especially
SO, II very sunny weather occurs when
the crown Of the root has recently
been exposed. 1t is contended that red
clover is most permanent, and the af-
termath is better when the crop is cut
by the scythe than where the moving
machine is employed. This result has
been ascribed to the cut surface made
by the scythe being somewhat oblique
and SO running off the rain, whereas
the cut of the machine is perfectly
horizontal, allowing the rain to enter
and to rot the root, but 1t is probable
that the greater length of the stubble
generally left by the scythe is the true

pop the moment they overpowered the
guards. Armed with the rifles left by
Fredericks the convicts were prepar-
Ing to fight their way out Of the gully

Of an Ice house at tile head Of the
gully. None OF the convlcts noticed
the door until Calling gun began to

knelt on the ground md shouted for
mercy. The Calling vas worked for
thirty seconds. When the firing
ceased only few OF the men were
left unhurt.
The seven dead men were carried
to the prison and were laid naked In
a row on long Geal tnble. One man
had been struck by fifteen bullets.
When the light had been subdued to
make the wounds show more clearly
against the white skin the conyicts
were filed slowly past the table. About
1900 men were in the prison and the
procession was kept up until the last
one had passed the bodies.
Aull had an original method in
marking men who had tried and fall
ed to escape. He clothed them In red
shirts, and his guards were instructed
to shoot for these shirts If any effort
was made to break away. Not until

coop as occasion requires, using the
sort of hinges on which blinds are
hung, SO that one door may be taken
on and another put on in a minute.
For wet weather the glass door, made
like cellar window, is put in place
(see cut) and keeps the brood warm
and dry. For clear, cold days, but dry,
the turks are kept in the coop by the

is the growing Of a kind Of corn whose
cob is specially adapted for pipes. A
group of farmers in Lafayette County
raise it exclusively. One field of TWEEN.
ty-hye acres produced 1,128 bushels Of
corn worth 1896. and the cobs sold for
$19S The average per acre was $21 SO.
Corn cob pipes are supposed to dispose
of nicotine without injury to the

pipe is one of the traditions of Missouri
