MOBILE TO HIS HANGING. Condemned Murder In Escaping
 Breaks an Ankle.

San Antonio, July 21.-Following his sensational escape from the county jail as result of which he was at liberty thirty minutes, Doc Williams is now back in his cell nursing brok- en ankle, and will have to hobble to the gallows on crutches, when he is to be hanged on Friday week.
 An investigation as to how he made his escape Is under way. The death cell is isolated from the rest of the cells in the jail Just previous to Williams escape the garbage man had carried out the refuse and had left the back door of the jail open. Will jams saw this and he then feigned in sanity in order ot get the guard to open the door. He then struck him down and made run for liberty. He broke his ankle in dropping over the jail wall. This probably accounts for his easy recapture.

HOW TO STENCIL A WALL.
Simple Method of Securing the Most
Artistic Effects.

Very artistic effects can be secured
by stenciling a wall. It makes a break
In the plain surface and very har-
monicus contrasts and dainty color
schemes can be worked out by the
use of stencils. TO use the stencil
successfully start at one corner of the
room, press the stencil firmly against
the wall, lave the material that you
are going to stencil with mixed up
ready for use, dip the ends of your
brush in this. and simply rub 1t
across the face Of the stencil, being
careful not to get too much stuff on
the brush so that II will run back Of
the stencil and blur or blot. When
you finish one section remove the stem
Gil from the wall and carefully match
it TO- the next.
An ordinary round paint brush is as
good stencil brush as any. Tie the
bristles about half way down SO that
they will not spread, and in using dip
the tips of the bristles into the tint
ing material. - Country Life in

Peonies as a Medicine.

Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty of bloom than for value
as medicine. In recognition of it's
curative virtues, the peony was named
after Paeon, the physician of the
gods. An old writer says: About an
Infants neck hang peonie. 1t cures
Alcydes cruell maladie." Nor did the
use of the plant stop there, for peony
water was esteemed and drank In by
gone times, though whether as medi-
cine or merely as a refreshing tenn
perance beverage is more than modern
writer's can say.

you get is double what you derive
