/ The recognized points of difficulty
known to all handlers of stoves is to
secure an even distribution of heat
and to heat the floor surface. Every
stove manufacturer has struggled, with
both these troubles, and neither has
heretofore been successfully met.
In the Landrus stove these two
points have been absolutely solved.
Both in construction and action it
is different. The stove is designed for
wood or coal as fuel. For coal a cast
iron CRATE is made a part of the fire.

steel. over this enclosed firebox is

This Jacket does not touch the fire.
box there being space between and
all around with a considerable size
air space in the back between jacket
and firebox. The sides of the jacket
do not touch the floor, but permit the
upward passage of air. When a fire
is started the heating of the firebox
extends quickly to the Jacket, causing
a violent expansion of the air between
the two, which escapes out of the
radiator in the Jackets top into the
room. This emission of air is instantly
replaced by the colder air which
rushes upward from the floor under
the sides of the. stove. 1t is brought
into contact with the. hot firebox and
is in turn radiated out of the top into
the room.
This action goes on over and over
again, the air of the room being
heated, thrown out, cooling and again
being heated until the floor and every
part of the room is filled with warmth
A feature not met with in other stoves
is that the heat at the sides of the
stove is little if any greater than at
the farthest corner of the room. This
proves the even heat distributing quail
tiles of the stove.
1t is made in three sizes, and is sold
to the trade direct on a positive guar
antee.

LIMA CLAIMS REWARD FOR
CAPTURE OF RODRIGUEZ

da-- afternoon after receiving a SEN
tence of three months, given as rider
to his original punishment, as a penal
ty for breaking out.
When Rodriguez was ushered into
Warden Henry's office yesterday after
noon he was the most abject Porto
Rican seen here for long time. He
was scared to DEATH He feared that
the Warden would visit summary chas-
tisement upon him as a penalty for his
desertion.
well, 1 suppose you have had good
time while you have been away, Pc
dro,' pleasantly remarked Mr.. Henry
Pedro hung his head.
did you sleep well of nights?''
No answer.
Are you glad to come back?"
No answer.
Then the warders searched him and
found some small change.
Where did you get this money!
asked Henry.
Its my money"
"Well, where did you get il?
''fe have it hid. When I leave here
I go get it. I get twenty-five dollars
Then the warden asked him how
much money he had hid. He declared
that he had $4,000 buried. He refused
to say where it was buried and when
told that two white men had watched
him on/the morning he broke Jail and
saw him go to the buried money he
refused to believe it. He said that no
one had seen him. He was then told
that the white men would go and get
the money as soon as they knew that
Pedro was locked securely in prison,
but Pedro laughed at this. He said
that if white men knew where it was
they could go and get it. He had bur
led the money over thirteen months
previously During all the time he
had been in prison the money had re-
mained untouched. He was confident
no one would find it. He said that he
had made the money gambling.
Through an interpreter Warden Hen
~ asked him if he thought the SEN
tence the Judge had given him would
complete his punishment for breaking
jafI. He said that was all right ana
that no one could give him more pun
ishment He spoke in a very insolent
way to Mr.. Henry and laid down the
law pretty sharply as to what pris-
oner's duty was in prison.
Then Warden Henry took hand
He Iectured the convict severely upon
the crime of breaking out of prison
and of breaking the rules laid down
for +he government of convicts. Henry
+oId him that he believed that he de-
served a good whipping.
Much better you kill me-" replied
