SOAP IN BURGLARY.
HELPS TO GET INTO SAFES AMI
OUT OF PRISONS.
Its Use Discovered by Wisconsin
Post Office Inspector-Some
Instances Of Its EN-
ployment.

The Importance Of soap In tho raios
OF yeggmen from the time the crime
ID committed to the day the prisoner
escapes from jail has been demon
strated in a single case In Wisconsin
Soap not only made the robbery OF q
post once safe possible, but 1t was the
principal factor In the escape OF the
leader Of the band after he was arrest
cd for the robbery.
Tho discovery Of this use OF soap
was made by e. q. Fraser, OF La
Crosse, a post Office inspector OF the
Chicago district.
The safe In the post ONCE 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 escaped.
An investigation was made Of the
circumstances in connection with the
robbery. It was found that the safe
had been blown open with nitro
glycerin. The explosive had been
poured into the safe lock through a
tunnel made VI carving out = cake OF
common laundfy soap.
Not long after the arrest the first
prisoner, Homer Earl Trainor. escaped
from the Jail by saving the bars OF
his cell. How he got the saws was q
mystery only until the turnkey of the
jail, J. M. Childers, was convicted OF
assisting in the escape.
The noise Of the saving was not
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 to
deaden the sound Of the saving, and
soap had been rubbed into the open
ings made, leaving the bars apparent
ly intact during the operation.
The most remarkable use Of soap
was made in the escape Of Andrew
Cunningham, alias Patsy Flanagan, a
bank sneak. He was killed January "a,
1906, in a running fight with a sheriffs
posse after robbing a bank at Mon
tague, Tex.
He got tools from his confederate,
the turnkey, and cut a hole in the
stone floor Of his cell. The work was
discovered, but in an effort to get evil
dence against the turnkey the authori-
ties delayed interference. They in
tended to stop Cunningham before the
hole In the floor was made large
enough to permit the passage of his
body.
Cunningham learned that he was be-
Ing watched, and here the soap figured
again. Though the hole in the floor
was only about eight inches in diam
eter, Cunningham escaped. According
to the story told by a fellow prisoner
on the witness stand In Childer's trial,
Cunningham covered the edges Of the
opening with soap, lathered his naked
body and slipped through.
So besides the innocent uses of the
toilet, soap has properties which sneak
thieves and robbers appreciate. Since
the affair Of Trainor and Cunningham
Inspector Fraser has found that soap
has first place in the cracksman's kit.

Ford County Will Give a Big Poultry
and Pet Stock Show in February.
All the arrangements have been made
for a poultry and-pet stock show In Dodge
City during the first week in February.
A Judge who has q wide reputation has
been secured, and 1t will be a real show.
There are q lot Of fine birds IN Ford

year than they have In the past.
The Judge who will SCORE the birds Is
Mr.. D. A. Staner Of Wichita, who has o
wide reputation as an expert on fine bred
fowls. He was one Of the judges at the

sidered the best man to be obtained.
The dates of the show will be February

in the large rooms of the Zimmerman
hardware store, across the street from
their main store.
The poultry business Is Of great impor-
lance in Ford county, and all OF the
farmers can make money by giving more
attention to breeding fine fowls. Many
have been making 1t a study for years and
have the best Of the different breeds.
The show will include all kinds OF
birds and pet stock, 80 the boys can bring
their pigeons, and their fine bred dogs
and Angora cats, etc. This show has BY
far the best prospects Of any one yet at

CONSIDER THE CLOCK.

Did you ever take time to consider
the clock? You should have done 20
if you have not, seeing the clock gives
you the time whenever you ask it.
(No, this is no,joke. 1t is plain
statement of fact.)
The clock is so sensitive that it con-
stantly keeps its hand before it's face.
Ibis is due to the fact that though no
fault Of its own it: has been doing time
for many years in the most public
manner: 1t may be that as the face
OF the clock has no eyes, nor mouth,
or nose, nsr chin, nor cheeks, nor any
OF the ususal facial appurtenances,
keeps its hands over it to hide these
defects. Bit this can scarcely be.
We fancy, because its hands have no
finger nor thumbs, nor has it any
arms, and any attempt to conceal one
defect would only expose another.
Most clocks have only two hands,
but many have three, and it is some
what remarkable anatomically az well
as numerically, that the third hand Is
the second hand. 1t may also be re-
marked that the minute hand 10 not
the minute hand, for it is longer than
the hour hand.
The clock has neither feet nor legs,
bat it runs just the same. L, may be
fast or slow, but it does not walk. It
always runs down unless it is kept
running round. Providence wisely did
not give feet to the clock.
The clock; has key, but not
lock, and for that reason even the
most ignorant person never tries to
open clock with the key.
Some clocks strike and some do not
but no clock ever strikes with its
hands. just whya clock should be
80 peculiar is no afflir of ours.
cor course this is no joke. The
striking Of a clock may be an affair of
hours, but it is not spelled the same
way. We are not trying to be funny.
This is dignified article. Please do
not interrupt US again.
That passage in Scripture which
says, "By their works shall you know
them," does not refer to clocks, but
it might we'll have done so, because
that is the way good clock is known.
The clock speaks a universal Ian.
guage, and no matter whether it is =
German clock, Or French or Spanish
or Italian, it can tell you the time
just as distinctly as if it were plain
Yankee. =
The clock differs from all other hu.
man affairs in that while their opera
tions end when they are wound up,
the clocks do not begin until they are
wound up.
There are no clocks in heaven, be-
cause there is no time there. Neither
is there any night, and an eight-day
clock would not know when to stop
San Francisco Call.

Fish is sign of good omen. In Ben
gal, when the bride comes with the
bridegroom for the first time in the
house of the latter, the former has to
catch hold Of a fish in crtain welcome
ceremony, in prospect, perhaps, of q
generation as fruitful as that of fish.
While entering new house for the
first time the lady is to take hold of :
fish, probably for the same reason.
Whatever may be the reason for re-
garding the handling Of fish as auspi-
cious, it is indisputable that over .
