Whip 1t Out Of Him.

In the schools of Connecticut town,
saws The Baltimore Herald, measures
were recently taken to test the childrens
eyesight. As the doctor finished each
school he gave the principal list OF the
pupils whose eyes needed attention, and
requested him to notify the children's
parents to that effect.
One night soon after the opening OF
the fall term, little boy came home and
gave his father the following note, duly
signed by the principal:
"M. Dear Sir 1T becomes my
duty. to inform you that your son shows
decided indications of astigmatism, and
his case is one that should be attended to
without delay" .
The next day the father sent the fol-
lowing answer:
"Dear Sir:-Whip it out of him.
Yours truly, --."

''Some days ago." said Attorney Lu-

Of the criminal court building in an at
tempt to escape.
1.-The case brings to my mind Sim
liar one that occurred about twenty
years ago at the same building. I pros
ecuted q young man for burglary, and
he was convicted and sentenced to SIX
years in the penitentiary. The pros
pect Of such long imprisonment made
him desperate. After sentence, as he
was being conveyed by deputy sheriff
from the courtroom to the jail across
the passage connecting the two build
ings, he suddenly sprang over the low
hand railing. He fell forV-five feet,
yet somehow landed safely and at once
made a bold dash for liberty, running
at top speed north in Dearborn avenue.
The alarm was quickly given, and dep
uV sheriffs and policemen started In
pursuit. After an exciting chase they
captured him In a barn not far from
Lincoln park. In due course he was
taken to state prison, where he served
his term.

She was daughter of Mrs. Sarah R.

the cabin and then stopped, being held
back by the volume Of air compressed

When the ship was built recepta'
Gle had been constructed beneath the
floor Of the cabin between it and the
keel for the storage Of spare sails. As
this compartment was now overturned
and above the water, Engellandt sought
shelter there.
Fortunately a chest Of drawers con-

sugar and smoked sausages was with

Twelve days Of indescribable anguish
followed. Cooped up In dark, III

knowing what minute the ship might
go down. the plight Of Engellandt was
most pitable. AS he wore nothing but

severely from the cold. After awhile
however, he found some bags and old
sails In the cuddy hole and managed
with them to make himself more com

A hammer which by some chance
had found its way under the cabin foo,

he kept hammering on the iron walls

secured. Accordingly boat was low
cred and sent away.
When the sailors reached the object
they found it, as they supposed, cap
sized vessel with an iron hull. The
wreck was nearly submerged, only the
keel and the round Of the bottom be-
ing above the surface. AS the men
from the Aurora clambered upon the
hull they were startled by what seem
ed to be a sound Of knocking inside.
A hoarse voice, unmistakably a hui
man voice, shrieked from within.
The salvage corps at once became q
rescuing party. They found that from
one part Of the upturned htll they
could communicate with, but not reach,
the imprisoned man. Curiosity prompt
ed them to question him before they
took further measures for his relief.
BE had been imprisoned there for
twelve days, he told them, shut up
alone in the inverted cabin Of a cap
sized vessel, drifting he knew not
where and unable to make any signals
Of distress.
The rescuers found It impossible to
get the man out Of his cramped and
dangerous quarters. They could not
cut through the iron bottom and had
no diving apparatus Accordingly II
was decided to tow the wreck into the
port Of Neufahrwosser, near DantAc.
There the wreck was docked beneath
a great shipyard crane, and chains
were passed under it to prevent 1t from
settling. Blacksmiths were set to work
removing the iron plating.
Only after ten hours Of hard work
was the liberation effected.
Amid loud cheers the imprisoned sail
or was taken out, carried to a hotel
and given medical attention. In Few
hours he had recovered sufficiently to

he was, he said, Hans Engellandt,
thirty-two years old, captain and part
owner Of the coasting vessel Erndte.
At Russ, near Memel, he took on
cargo Of lumber for Oldenburg. Soon
after leaving port severe storm arose,
and, buffettng the Erndte severely, 1t
continued all that day. and far into ths
night.
About 4 o'clock the next morning Ed
gellandt turned toe wheel over to tho

had scarcely taken his clothes Oft to re-

vessel, and she Eopped completely over.
So quickly was the Erndte upon hel:

gellandt realized what had happened
he found himself sprawling on what
had been the ceiling Of the cabin, with

Well, if the dispensary constables must

other.
~
Chief Justice Pope has begun to render
some opinions recently. Wonder why ne
didn't do this sooner?
~
It is very evident, even at this stage OF
the game, that it will take some mighty
hard work to save the dispensary. The
system seems to be on its last legs.

If some Democrats had worked as
hard for the success of the ticket as they
have been trying to explain how it hap

different.

ing society. We would not belittle the
work of such an organization, but what
is needed is action-not talk.

3 Oh, well, the newspapers are IN not
such bad shape after all. The dispensary
is likely to be live topic for discussion
for some time to come, and then the leg
islature meets in January. So we'll have
something to talk about for awhile at least.

D. s. Henderson, Esq, wrote long
letter which was read at the recent meet
! ing of the law and order league in Aiken,

condemnation of "jurors who have so
little regard for decency as to be infiu-
enced by illegitimate methods in render
ing 7erdicts," but what is going to be
done with the lawyer who uses "illegiti-
mate methods" in influencing jurors. 1t
seems to US that the lawyer who stoops
to questionable means to influence a YER
dict in his favor is more to be feared and
.detested than a juror who readily LENDS
himself to such influence. Cleanse the

] honest and purchasable jurors. There is
no use to mince matters; strike at the
root of the evil. There are too many
