"A whisper is something said with

ear whisper. But teacher can
aostly always hear one! Sometimes,
Shen you whisper so little that you
can't even hear it your OWE self. the

"A whisper Is the same thing beside
n big loud word that asleep Is beside
swake, or night Is beside day, or like
the moon beside the sun; 1t looks like
thirty cents.
Secrets are always told in whls-
pers. But the next day the person
who heard the secret tells 1t to every
body what oughtn't to hear 1t in a loud
voice. That's the strongest evidence
against a whisper.
Nobody what Is mad at you ever

BURGLARS USE OF SOAP.

Out of Prison.

Out of Prison.
Cleanliness, next to goodness and
soap, Is the right bower of physical
purity. Yet the innocent bar of soap
Is of prime Importance in the kit of the
professional burglar.
The Importance of soap In the raids
of yeggmen from the time the crime
is committed to the day the prisoner
escapes from Jail has been demonstrate
ed in single case in Wisconsin. Soap
not only made the robbery of post
office safe possible, but it was the prin-
cipal factor in the escape of the leader
of the band after he was arrested for
the robbery.
The discovery of this use of soap
was made by E. e. Fraser of La Crosse,
a postoffice inspector of the Chicago
district.
The safe In the postoftice at Stod-
dard, Wis, was blown open and three
crooks were arrested for the crime.
They were held in the La Crosse Coun-
ty Jail pending trial in the United
States Court. Two of the trio es-
capped.
An investigation was made of the
| circumstances In connection with the
! robbery. 1t was found that the safe
had been blown up with nitroglycerin.
The explosive had been poured into the
safe lock through a funnel made by
carving out cake of common Iaun-
dry soap.
Not long after the arrest the first
prisoner, Homer Earl Trainor. es.
capped from the Jail by saving the bars
of his cell How he got the saws was
a mystery only until the turnkey of the
Jail, J. NJ. Childers, was convicted of
assisting In the escape.
The noise of the saving was moi
heard by the other attendants, and the
incisions made in the bars by the pris.
oner were not discovered in the daily
inspections Of the Jail. 1t was found
afterward that soap had been used Ia
deaden the sound of the saving. and
soap had been rubbed into the omen.

Ten persons out of twelve, perhaps,
old as we'll as young, are under the
impression that the State of Pennsyl-
vania was named after William Penn.
This, however, is an error, for 1t was
aamed after Admiral Penn, Williams
father. The English government owed
the admiral a good deal of money
when he died, and King Charles IL.
gave to the admirals son William the
<egion west of the Delaware In pay
ment of the debt. William Penn In
tended to call it Sylvanla, which, you
know, means Woodland or Forest
isud, but the King insisted that the
name Penn should be prehxed In honor
Of the admiral. and that is how it came
