ON HIS WAY BACK TO PRISON.
Vermont Prison Warden Had Escaped
Prisoner, Who Had Been Caught
in Ohio.

Springfield, Mass, Sept. deputy
Warden NJ. II. Loukes OF the Vermont
state prison at Windsor arrived in thii
city Sunday afternoon, having in MS Gus
tody Oliver Germain, who escaped from
the Windsor prison October 81, 1907
Officer Loukes had come through from
Troy, o., where he arrested German
last week and the trip had been hard
one for the warden, because his prisoner
mad been sick all the way, which had
prevented either OF them from getting
any sleep. They went from the railway
station TO the police station, where the
warden put his prisoner in cell and
went to bed himself mp on the third
floor in one OF the rooms that are kept
furnished for officers or inspectors who
are Obliged to get some sleep ut the
station in times OF long hours and much
work. Officer Loukes lett ''eall" at the
desk for 1880 o'clock, and at that time
he was awakened and soon after set
out to take the sails train north with
his prisoner
Officer Loules said that German ef.
feetcd his escape from the prison at a
time when one wing was being repaired
and all Of the prisoners bad been dou-
bled up in the other lie with his cell
mate, after several months OF planning
and quiet work, succeeded in removing
the bricks and masonry from an obscure
corner OF their cell and on the night OF
their escape broke up through to the
roof, from which they let themselves
down by a rope. They left the jail at
about 1890 o'clock at night. and it was
not until the next morning that they
were missed. They had arranged dun.
mics rolled mp under the blankets of
their cots 80 that the Waterman, making
bis rounds, thought that they were both
in the cell asleep. Warden Loukes, com
ing to the iai in the morning, saw the
rope hanging from the roof and, think
ing it looked Ike an escape, rushed into
the Jail and asked if all the prisoners
were there. He was told by the watch
man that they were, but soon the de-
parture OF German and his ceImate was
discovered German was serving SEN
tence Of not more than II nor less than
10 years for rape and had already served
two years. His home was in Bmling-
ton
For many months all attempts to
trace German and his eellmate we're
unavailing and the Vermont authorities
had about given up expecting to recap
ture the two men when, in response to
their numerous circulars, word came
from Ohio that German was in the town
Of Troy in that state. Warden Loukes
went out there at once and found Ger
main working there in livery stable,
He had been in that town since last
December and had begun to feel quite
secure. But when he saw Officer Loukes
approaching him he put up good front
and said, I'm glad to see you, warden;
| couldnt have stood it much longer"
According to the Vermont law, the
amount of time, two years, that he
had already served of his sentence, will
now be disregarded and he will begin
to serve over again the whole sentence.
In addition to this an additional two
to four years could be placed on his SEN

A direct contrast to this is a tea

pale blue chiffon slip, this last to be in
turn worn over an underslip of en-

Grateful Hen.

Chicken fanciers and agriculturists
hereabouts are puzzled over a remark
able egg-laying hen living under the
guardianship of Jacob Geier in Madi-
son avenue. The hen strayed from
her roost and wandered into Geier's
back yard several weeks ago. When
Geier opened his kitchen door the hen
tapped her wings, flew on the porch
and in at the open door past Geier.
THAT chick must be durn hungry;
I'll feed her up good and strong,
b'gum," said Geier to his wife
He made good his word by prepar.
ing a ration of milk and bread, which
the hen devoured ravenously. Cack
ling her thanks, she departed to the
back yard. About an hour later the
hen was discovered sitting comfort1
bly, on a settee on the porch. When
the fire whistle footed the noon hour
the hen exuded a joyous series OF
cackles. When Geier arrived on the
scene he beheld fresh-laid egg and
the hen strutting proudly around the
yard.
Since then the hen has laid an egg
every day, with three exceptions.

HYMNS OF 200 TONGUES.
Origin Of Many Sacred Songs Told by
an English Authority.

There are no less than 100000
Christian hymns, according to DR..
Julian, the celebrated English au-
thority on sacred music, and they
have been written in 200 or more Ian
guages and dialects, says the Philadel.
phia Press.
Most popular among these, he says,
are: Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me-"
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"
Awake, My Soul, and with the Sum-"
and when 1 Survey the Wondrous
Cross"
Some interesting stories are con-
nected with the origin Of a number of
the famous hymns. For instance, it is
told that the English prelate, Bishop
Bickersteth, wrote Peace, Perfect
Peace" at the deathbed of a relative,
Archdeacon Hill of Liverpool, and that
the latter read the verses and compli'
mented them before he passed away.
"Just AS 1 Am" said DR.. Julian, was
written by an invalid Charlotte Ell
lott, while she was lying almost help.
less upon a sofa. All her relatives
had gone to an entertainment and as
she suffered alone in her home she
sighed that she might be taken away
just as she was and the verses of the
hymn which thousands now sing
sprang into her mind.
John Byron, the author of Chris
tians, Awake" write that beautiful
hymn as a Christmas offering for his
daughter. He inscribed upon the
manuscript, Christmas Day for
Dolly"
Rock of Ages" it is said, was writ
ten by Augustus Toplady while he lay
sheltered from a storm under two gi-
gantic limestone rocks, but there is no
proof upon which this can be based.
