BANKER HOOVER FREE.
Ohio Man Finishes Sentence and Leaves
the Prison at Midnight in War
den's Carriage.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. G.-Driven to
the station in the warden's carriage,
shortly after midnight, Harry j. Hoover,
formerly Newark banker, who com
pleted a five-year sentence in the peni-
tertiary for violating the United States
banking laws, today went aboard the
12:45 train and was soon being whirled
back to Newark and the home of his
wife, who was awaiting him, free man.
The exodus of Hoover was one of the
most sensational in the history of the
big prison, for never before has pris-
oner been permitted TO leave until un-
locking time comes in the morning of
the day set for his departure. 1t is said
that Hoover feared arrest, although his
many influential friends have been work
ing day in and day out in order to pre-
vent such an occurrence and to smother
the indictments hanging over the pris-

Not very well. But the chamber off

Love and the Fan.

Probably the first European
women to-use fans were the POrtu-
guese, perhaps introduced by mer-
chants from their trade with Japan,
though we find mention of their
having them in the fourteenth cen
fury. In France the inventory of
Charles V, at the end of the same
century, mentions a folding ivory
fan. Doubtless Catherine de Mediei,
with her knowledge of and love of
the luxuries of Italy, introduced
fans to her sisters in France. The
many wives of Henry VIII. of Eng
land and their court ladies were
used to holding fans, and Queen
Elizabeth had as many as twenty
seven in her elaborate wardrobe.
Fans grew into general use about
this time in Italy, France and
Spain. A regular code of signals
was arranged, so ladies and their
admirers were able to carry on a
regular firtatfon.-Chicag Record

Auction Sales.

Sales by auction, so far from be-
ing an invention Of late years, we're
known as far back as the time Of
the Romans. 1t was supposed by
some that they chiefly used the plan
to dispose of the spoils taken in war.
As these sales were said to take
place under the spear, it is fair to
conclude that they stuck a long
spear in the ground to mark the
place where the sale would be held.
It was long the custom in England
to mark the time during which bids
might be offered by burning an inch
of candle, the last offer before the
light went out being of course the
one that took the article on sale,
This custom led many to make no
bid until the candle was nearly out.
and many often delayed so long
that the end Of the fame still found
them silent.

The EAGLES EYE.
Why It Can See Nearby or Distant Oh
iee:s EqesIly Wei.

All birds Of prey lave peculiar
ity Of eve structure that enables
them to see near or distant objects
equally well. An eagle VIII ascend
more than a mile in perpendicular
height, and from that elevation can
perceive its unsuspecting prey and
pounce upon it with unerring GER
tainty. Yet the same bird can
scrutinize with almost microscopic
nicely an object close at hand, thus
possessing a power of accommodate
ing its sight TO distance in a manner
to which the human eye IS untitled
and of which it is totally incapable
In looking at a printed page We
find that there is some particular
distance, probably ten inches, at
which we can read the words and
see each letter with perfect distinct
ness, but if the page be moved to a
distance Of forty inches or brought
within a distance of five inches we
find it impossible to read it at all.
A scientific man would therefore
call ten inches the focus or focal
distance of our eyes. This focus
cannot be altered except by the aid
of spectacles
But an eagle has the power of
altering the focus of its eye just as
it pleases. 1t has only to look at an
object at the distance of two feet
or Of two miles in order to see it
with perfect distinctness.
OF course the eagle knows moth
ing of the wonderful contriyance
that the Creator has supplied for
its accommodation. It employs it
instinctively and because it cannot
help it. The ball of the eye is sur
rounded by fifteen little plates
called sclerotic bones. They form
a complete ring, and their edges
slightly overlap each other When
it looks at distant object, this lit
tie circle Of bones expands, and the
ball of the eye, being relieved from
the pressure, becomes f1atter- When
it looks at a very near object, the
little bones press together, and the
ball of the eye is thus squeezed into
a rounder or more convex form.
The effect is very familiar to
every one. A person with very
round eyes is near sighted, and a
person with fiat eyes, as in old age,
can see nothing except at distance.
The eagle, by the mere will, can
make its eyes round or fiat and see
with equal clearness at any distance

A BRAVE DAIRYMAID.
BY Her Ready Wit and Nerve shs
Saved the Title Deeds.
1t was astonishing how many SUI

1t was astonishing how many sue
ceeded in battling pursuit from
the field of Culloden. The kilt gave
great freedom to the limbs. Most
of the men were Injured to long
marches and could exist on little
food. They knew the passes through
the hills, and the best hiding places
were pointed out to them by the
country people, who kept them
from starving and would give no in
formation.
A reward of 100000 was prom
ised for news that would lead to
the arrest of Prince Charlie. Many
knew where he was, but no word
ever reached the camp of the garri-
son of the victor, and the prince is
sued through the midst of vigilant
enemies and got away safely to
France.
The adventures Of the Jacobites
were numberless. This is how a
dairymaid saved her master: After
King Georges army had subdued
the rebels they went through the
country dispossessing King James
friends of their lands. A captain
with a band Of soldiers was sent to
take possession of MacLachlan's
land. They surrounded the house
and would not let any persons out
without searching them. There was
dairymaid there called Christine
Sinclair, who was washing the house
at the time
She knew the soldiers would try
to take the title deeds of the lands
and, going 20 her mistress, said she
could save them.
''What can you do, Christine ?"
said her mistress. 4They Will put a
sword through you if they find you
with the deeds
But the dairymaid insisted that
were the papers given to her she
could get them away through the
midst of all the soldiers. At last
the lady allowed Christine to wrap
the deeds in one of the cloths with
which she washed the floors. A dry
clout, OF napkin, was selected and
the papers wrapped up in this. She
put this dry cloth inside one of the
wet clouts she had used and wrung
it to make it look Ike the rest. She
then put all the clouts in a basket
and went out to spread them to dry
on a green.
When she got to the door a hos
tile officer with a guard was stand
ing there. He stopped her and ask
ed, "What have you in your hands p
She let down the basket at his feet
and said to him, "There it is for
you"
He took his bayonet and pushed
the clout8 backward and forward
with it. When he saw what he
thought was nothing but lot of
wet clouts with the water wrung
out of them he said, "You. may lift
them away with you"
Christine went to the green and
spread the clouts there, but took
out the title deeds and, placing
them in her bosom, concealed them.
The soldiers searched the house
and made the lady take an oath that
what she said about ignorance OF
them was the truth. She could do
this with a good conscience, as only
Christine knew what had happened
to them, so the titles to the proper
ty were saved by the ready wit OF
