Last Wednesday an order was enforced to

march double file to their classroom. All that
was needed to supply the general kindergarten
effect was a teacher to tap a bell, and for this
some wag substituted a youngster. The whole
affair appealed to the college as so ridiculous
that the carrying out of the order could not
be taken seriously. No one need ever nope 10

results of the affair would have done no IN

bars was not big enough for them.
They had not time to pry the rods TO

He Courted Temptation.

Mrs. Robert j. Burdette tells story
about the white ribbon which is the
sign of total abstinence.
There are some persons" said Mrs.
Burdette, who don't wear the white
ribbon with sincerity. They wear it,
perhaps, about as hypocritically as it
was worn by an employe of a certain
brewer.
This employe, after years Of dissi-
patton, appeared one day at the brew
cry with the white ribbon on his breast.
Nothing was said to him and he wore
the ribbon for some months. Then one
day the head of the firm, happening to
notice the mans badge, approached
him.
Why, Frank he said, 1t is strange
to see you. a brewer, wearing the white
ribbon
1T does look strange. sir. the man
admitted.

you do it?'

night from the County Jail in a manner
daring enough TO delight the boldest
kind Of a prison bird.
To be sure. Arthur had help when he
made his flight for freedom, but the
accOmplices were youngsters, all about
his own age. There were four in the
plot, but young Friedrich was the only
one who got away. His cGnfederates

Clark had punched them there in the
absence OF women prisoners. Taking
advantage Of the situation, Friedrich
plotted with his companions TO break

partition and pried apart bars on one
OF the windows that face the rear Of
the jail. After bending the soft iron
uprignts, they cut or tore away a wire

Martin Schneider, a widower 81 years
Of age, who lived with his son-in-law,

shortly before o'clock. The gas jet
was partly turned on. He had been
suffering from heart disease and DR..

to light the gas to take his medicine,
and after partly turning ii on had col

The other case was that of Frank

tended a ball at the Verein Eintracht

drank freely. Yesterday morning his
landlady, Mrs. Carrie Thomas, 4O8 u
