LOCKED IN VAUL7 |
BY ACCIDENT

CHICAGO, Dec. 25-A dispatch to
the Record Herald from Fort Wayne
Ind, says: Edward G. Wilson, presi-
dent of the board of directors Of the
Indiana School for Predetermined
Youth, had a narrowing experience
yesterday as result of unwittingly
locking himself in the vault in his
office. Wilson had entered the vault to
get some papers and while thus en-
gagged the door swung to and he heard
the lock click behind him before he
realized that he was q prisoner.
The trapped man cried out loudly,
but no one was attracted. He was
conscious that. the sound of his voice
hardly reached the office through the
thick walls of the vault, but he con-
tinued his efforts to attract attention
Tor more than an hour. After being
imprisoned for what seemed an age
he heard some one enter the once. He
renewed his cries for help and as soon
as the sound OF his voice could be
dennitely located the door was un-
locked and the imprisoned man set at
liberty.

Berrfes of the beautiful and Fra
grant Pimento Tree.
The pimento, or allspice, tree Is cul-
tlvated In the West Indies and Jamal-
ca This beautiful tree usually grows
to height of about thirty feet. 1t
has straight trunk, much branched
above and covered with very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary In size
and shape, but are always Of a dark,
shining green color During the months
of July and August the tree Is In full
bloom, the blossoms consisting Of very
fragrant small white flowers.
When a new plantation of pimento
trees Is to be formed no regular SOW

Is next to impossible. to propagate the
young plants or to raise them from
seeds In parts Of the country where
they are not found growing spontane-

land where nimento trees are growing
In n native state. The chosen piece Of
land is then cleared of oil wood ex-
cept these trees and the felled timber
is allowed to remain on the ground for
the purpose Of protecting the very
young plmento plants.
At the end of two years the land Is
thoroughly cleared, and only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come to ma
turity In about seven years.
In favorable seasons the pimento
crop Is enormous, single tree often
yielding a hundred or more pounds OF

and are valueless. The green berries
are exposed TO the sun for a week or
