.Le Sword OF n knight.

The sword of noble knight was
mentioned almost as often as himself
in the songs of the troubadours Of the
middle ages. In the olden time this
trusty weapon was named and person
flied as accomplishing countless bril-
liant deeds. In the proverbs Of all ma
tons it is spoken of with reverence and
trust. 1t represents the rank and re-
nOwn, the heroism and honor, the glory
and greatness, of nations in the past.
One of the first weapons made by man,
it became his most important arm and
auxiliary of warfare. 1t has always
been the visible badge of birth, bravery
and freedom. To surrender it was to
admit defeat and disgrace. So long has
it been the constant companion of rank
and valor that 1t has acquired dignity
of its own. Like no other weapon, 1t
has a quality entirely distinct from its
character as a blood shedder. In Eng
land even at the present day the sword
alone is considered adequate to confer
knighthood.

But Chicago Man Makes
Successful Trip in Airship.
Scars Up $500 Feet and After
Many Accidents to Machinery
Is Rescued From Death By Two Women and
Boy Catching Trail Rope.

Chicago, Dec. 1i.-With the daring
of Il man who faces death for the mere
excitement of it, Horace +. Wild, an
electrician of Chicago yesterday, for the
first time in his life made flight in
an airskip. He SCARED to a height of
300 feet above The ground.
After Il series of thrilling experiences
he returned to the earth safely, three
miles from the place where he started
on hi, trip in machine which never
had been tested before. His flight was
over Grand Crossing and was witnessed
by hundreds of spectators.
TIE trip through the air at the height
of llIlf mile was made under diff
culties. Wiid's greatest peril was the
danger of losing his hold on the ma
chine on account of the cold. Twice his
numb fingers slipped from their grasp
of the frame of the ship and twice he
cought himself by hooking his heels
into a groove i'll the cross beams.
The ship was made after several at
tcmpts covering Il period of three
weeks. When the big airship sailed
away the crowds clicered and Wild
waved his hand Gleefully.
Fer II tii:lc all went well, the diriGiblc
ma, hine moving TO the south smooth
ly. Then the engine operating the pro-
peIior stopped because the supply of
gasoline was exhausted. With that
came to the airship man the realization
that he was going higher ana higher
and had no means of prOnellinG the
skip in the direction of the earth.
Wild il! a frantic cndeaN"r to escape
destruction, climbed into the network
Of the Sas-filled bag above him and
holding on with the fingers of one hand
almost frozen, with his teeth unfast-
encd the cord that held the escape
valve permitting the gas to escape in
sufficient quantities to allow his float
ing to the ground. The pulling down OF
the airsnip by its trial rope was ac-
complishcd by two women and a boy
with the greatest difficulty and at great
personal risk, for several parts of the
machinery became detached and their
falling to the ground so liShtened the
balloon that it struggled with renewed
energy to escape into the clouds. If II
had escaped from the rescuers, Wild's
death would have been certain as he
would have been carried out into the
lake.

A DARING ESCAPE.
Howard and Carr Break
Jail in Roxbury
By Saving Iron Cars Under
Noses Of Jail Officials.
Dummies and Stained Paper Conceal Trick
Awhile-!.HeId for Robbery.

Boston, Dee. II Charles Howard
and Fred Ii. Carr, who were held at the
Charles street Jail pending their trial
in the Roxbury court today made their
escape from the Jail early this morn
ing and the police have been unable to
trace the movements of the men.
Howard and Carr made their escape
sometime between O'Clock and $50
o'clock and evidently were assisted by
confederateS outside the Jail. They oc
cupled the same cell and secured their
release by removing two bars from the
door ana two bars from Il window at
the end of Il corridor. From this
window they jumped into the yard be-
low ana then over a fence into Fruit
street, from which place, it is believed,
they were carried away in Il mack.
The escape of the prisoners was dis
covered when one of the prison watch
men went his rounds this morning
awaking the inmates Of the various
cells. No one responded when he call
ed at the door of the cell in which
Howard and Carr had been. inmates
The Waterman entered the cell and
found two dummies on thet.Ots and Il
further investigation showed that
newspapers had been cleverly stained
with ink and put in place of the bars
which had been removed from the cell
doors. The Waterman gave the alarm
and n further search showed that the
barS mad been removed from Il window
at the end Of the corridor which was
practically tho last obstacle in the
avenue I" escape. TO jump from the
window into the jail yard, to scale the
fence into Fruit street was an easy
matter.
The Jail officials are confident that thcy
understand, the manner il. which the Jail
delivery was accomplished and according
to them it discloscs a clever scheme
Matched up by the prisoners and their con-
fcdcratcs on the outside. Howard and
Carr were arrested last week a short time
after they had pawncd some articles of

had been seen escaped from the officers

Last Saturday afternoon Il Young wo.
man appeared at the Jail and declared /,
the officials that she was the sweetheart
Of Howard and asked permission to be
married to him in the Sail. No objection
was offered and a messenger was sent

Is Largely Of the Lip Says
Lieut.. Col. Petit
In Address Before Military Ser
vice Institute in New York.
Says the Army is Too Democratic and
Also Citcizes Congress.

New York, Dec. 14.-Lieut Col James
n. Petit, formerly secretary in the
military department at Washington
and at present military instructor in
the District OF Columbia, read q thesis
yesterday, before the Military Service
Institute at Governors Island on "How
Far Does Democracy Affect the Or
ganiZation and Discipline of Our Ar
mics, and How Can It's Influence Be
Most Effectually Uti!ized?"
Col. Petit dwelt at length with the
subject. the general trend of his argu-
n,ent being that the influence of poll
tics upon the military of this country
was baneful. The speaker said in partr
1.-THE great conquercrs of the world
have been monarchs welding practi-
cally unlimited powers.
when the military commander is the
ruler of the nation as well he is the
court of last appeal, and secures that
unity of command and control OF re-
sources SO vital to the successful or
ganiZation, the discipline and CAM
paigning of armies. The further we de-
part from these principles, the weaker
we become.
"On the other hand. Democracics, as
a general rule represent peace. Ihey do
not respond to the personal ambitions
of an individual. nor are they readily
drawn into schemes for territorial ag-
HrandiZement involving war. Their
proper military policy therefore is prep
aration for defence.

most powerful official of the govern
ment, next to the President and he may

He is the real car. The average MEM
Der of Congress has about as much in
flucnce on the course of the House as
a doe at a council of elephants. The
vote of Congress represents it's political
opinions instead of its personal be-
Hefs. The abolishng of the canteen is
an illustration of the fact that, even
I'm times of peace, legislation for the
army comes out of the hopper creased
with the Shiny oil of political spells and
party .xpedicncy unredeemed by the
salt of honest, manly independence and
belief and to the right and justice of
the cause and the needs of the country.
eve are of sanguinc temperament;
we believe in our star; we regard the
law lightly; we place thousands OF
laws on the statute books but are lax
In enforcing them. These qualities in
the military service make rigid disci-
pline impossible. Deserters. sentinels
asleep on post. and guerrillas should be
shot. but with us the penalty is rarely
exactod.
sour patriotism is largely of the lip.
That true patriotism which regards the
country as the home to be cherished
and protected within and from without
even at personal sacrifice. is not as
common as it should be. 1t is constant

foreigners Who are pleased to style
themselves German or Irish Americans

masters.
