ONLY MAN TO ESCAPE.

A most peculiar case is reported
from England. Some years ago a
famous burglar named Eddie Guerin
was convicted in France for robbery
and given a life sentence on Devils
Island. He escaped from that place
Of confinement, being the only per-
son who ever succeeded in such an
effort. Later he appeared In Chi
cago and subsequently went to Lon
don.
The French authorities sought his
extradition, but, after he had been
held long time. 1t was decided that,
as he was British subject, he could
not be surrendered to French au-
thority. That sounds rather strange,
though the story is told in dispatch
with all the earmarks of good faith.
II that is English law. English crooks
could ply their trade all over the
world and he immune should they
succeed In reaching the shores of
England.

The Benefit Which the Children Of
the United States Have Received
From Pe-ru-na Can Never Be
Put Into Words,

The chronic ailments it has prevented,
the suffering it has mitigated, will never
be fully recorded.
But at least this much can be said that
the coming generation owes great
debt to Peruna, for it is in the tender
years of youth that slight ailments are
liable to develop into lasting disease,
thus blasting the whole career Of the
individual.
The mothers who are bringing up
their children to-day to believe in Peru
ma are speaking from their experience.
These children brought up to believe
in Peruna from the start, will, when
they become heads Of families them
selves, use Peruna with unquestioning
faith.

The weed crusade In PendIeton, like
the cleaning up crusade last spring,
has been the real thing. Every street
In the city shows the result OF the
work Of private citizens and the
street commissioner. Several acres OF
noxious weeds, II taken altogether,
have been cut down and burned with
in thine past week. But there are
many yet to cut and burn. There are
many waste places all about which
harbor the weeds from year to year
unmolested. These secret hiding
places must be hunted out and de-
stroyed. The weeds cling, like a
leech to flesh, and suck the substance
from the soil. They ruin crops, eat
up the soil forces in the land, befoul
the grain and make extra work on
the farm and no pains should be
spared in ridding Umatilla county OF
them.

MORE WORK THAN AT PANAMA

In the July American Magazine
there is an article on the traffic i'm
provement now being made In New
York city-improvements costing
twice as much as the Panama canal.
An idea of the extraordinary work
being done may be had from this one
paragraph. "When the new tunnels
are done the junction of Thirty-third
street and Sixth avenue will be one Of
the most remarkable spots on the
globe, for there will be five distinct
traffic levels there, with a sixth pro-
jected: first, foot bridge over the
elevated tracks, then the elevated
road, then the surface line, then the
McAdoo tunnels, then proposed new
city subway. and finally. far below,
the crosstown Pennsylvania tubes to
Long Island. An airship overhead
alone is needed to complete the won
der."
