was imprisoned for his attempts
against the French government, made
at Boulogne in 1910. At o'clock one

mustache and thrown blouse and
workingman's trousers over his own
clothes and wearing wooden shoes,
quietly walked out of the prison, carry
ing bookshelf over his shoulder to
complete his disguise. He was taken
to be one of the painters then at work
in the prison and was passed by sew

in the neighborhood, and by o'clock
In the afternoon he was at Valenciennes,
where he took train to Brussels,
and he arrived in London two days
later. Meanwhile in the prison DR..
Conneau, the princes physician, had
placed a dummy in the princes bed and
told the governor that the prince was
confined to his room by illness. This
satisfied the governor until o'clock in
the evening. when he insisted on seeing
the prince and discovered the fraud.
BY this time, Of course, the prince was
over the frontier. DR.. COnneau got Off
with three months of prison. Within

The announcement that Adelaide
Thurston is to appear here in her nsw
play, "Polly Primrose on Friday
e yening, Jan. Goth, at the Grand opera
house, has had stirring effect on
theatre goers and the little favorite
will no doubt be greeted by her usual
big audience. A letter from New
Orleans written by an enthusiastic
lady admirer of Miss Thurston tc a
friend up north, is interesting to
quote: pretty Adelaide Thurston
has come and gone, leaving behind
her stream of sweet recollections
that linger in the memory like the
faint exquisite music of dream.
This is the only way can describe the
impression this enchanting little ac-
tress made OH all of us who saw her.
Her play is Southern and when POL
ly' made her appearance in one of the
acts holding quaint little fan that
once belonged to Dolly Madison. we
forgot for the time being that there is
aught in this big old world but sun
shine and bright flowers. The little
old piano she carries with her and
which holds an important place in the
play, brought back to mother, who sat
in our box, many tender memories,
she said, for it belonged to that
period which ante-dated the war. and
which was the golden period of the
South. Miss Thurston is supported
by brilliant group of artists and if
you have all oppoI sanity of seeing
Polly Primrose don't miss it. We

Childish Fears.

Once we have outgrown childish
thoughts and ideas, it is hard to real.
ize the agonies we suffered as children
over trifies that now seem so foolish.
Not even the wisest mother knows the
bugbears of her child's life. 1t is
astonishing how silent child may be
in regard to some haunting ghost of
his early years; it may have been a
certain face, dog, a haunted house,"
or simply the dark. 1t is a mistake to
scold a child for these terrors, which
are very real to the quaking little
heart, for, though from shame he is
silenced, he suffers just as keenly, and
is apt to brood over them. Reason
with him and show him how foolish
and uncalled for are his fears.
