A Tame Butterfly.

A Chicago woman had all winter a
tame butterfly that has just died. 1t
did not cost much to keep this butter
fly, for all it ate was one drop of
honey every three days.
The butterfly Numbered into the
woman's house one day last fall. 1t
was numb with colo. For a little
while it fluttered feebly. Then it
sank to the carpet and lay as though
dead.
The woman took it in her hands and
warmed it, whereupon it became ac-
tive and gay. But once released from
the warmth of her hands it grew cold
again-it fell into a stupor. There
upon she gave it another warming.
Thus, before many days had gone by,
the butterfly learned the restorative
value of woman's hands, and it
would fly to them and nestle in them
as little child nestles on the breast
Of it's mother.
1t learned to feed from her hand,
too; but all it desired was drop OF
honey every three or four days. She
would place the honey on her finger
and the butterfly, uncurling it's deli
cate sucker, would sip it slowly and
daintily, as young lady sips soda
water through straw.-ChicagO In

Two Escape from Jail by Clever Ruse-
Credits Are Property and Taxable
Woman Is Determined Suicide-Three
Men Killed by Train.

John Fletcher and Charles Brandon
worked a neat scheme ON Deputy Sheriff
William Roeseler at Juneau. When
Roeseler commanded them to turn in
for the night, Brandon asked for drink
Of water, and as he went to get it, he
slammed the door behind him and it
locked. The turnkey then entered the
cage to unlock the door for him, but he
no sooner turned the key than Fletcher
jumped upon him from behind and threw
him to the floor. The two men then
forced him into the cell and locked the
door upon him. An examination Of the
door lock revealed that Fletcher had
prevented the door from locking by hold
ing the catch back with piece Of wire.
The men were in jail for robbing Jew
elry store at Neosho last February,
