ESCAPES FROM RUSSIAN PRISONS


No other country has witnessed so
many daring escapes from prison as
has Russia, says Jaakof Prelooker,
in an article in the World Wide Mag
azine. Probably the simplest escape
ever effected by a political prisoner
was that of the famous Mile. Sophie
Perovskaya. Belonging to the high
est Russian aristocracy, she Joined
the revolutionary movement, and at
the age of seventeen was arrested,
but was liberated In 1878 she was
again seized and was sent to the Arc
tic regions.
On the journey Sophie had several
opportunities to escape, but the
guards were so kind to her that she
would not risk the punishment they
would suffer. Finally two guards
were put over her who were so brutal
that she was freed from conscientious
scruples.
One night the party had to stay at
railway station; the two gandarmes
slept in the same room as the pris-
oner, one at the window, the other on
the floor before the door,
Sophie appearing to be fast asleep,
the guards soon fell asleep, too. The
prisoner then rose, tried the door.
which she found to open outward,
stepped across the slumbering guard
and was free. She managed to slip
into train for ST. Petersburg, while
the gendarmes snored on.
Sophie took part in the plot for the
assassination of Alexander H., and
was hanged in 1881.
Leo Deutsch, the revolutionist, has
a record for repeated arrests and es-
capes which is probably without par
allel. Once he escaped through the
medium of bath. The Russian bath
is national institution. The author
ity which thinks nothing of freezing,
knouting and starving its prisoners,
never refuses a demand for a bath.
All Russian prisons have their bath
ing establishments. where the prison.
ers are sent under the escort OF
guards.

BOYS BATTLE WITH SNAKE.
Dan Russell, of Brownsville, and
Wren Tyus, residing west of town,
went fishing Thursday in Big Hatchie
River, near Van Buren, nine miles
from here. AS they stepped into the
boat they noticed a big moccasin
snake crossing the stream. They
when the moccasin discovered their
design and came back, meeting them
in midstream, showing fight by his
upright position. Russell struck at
the snake with an oar and sent him
under the water. He came up more
vicious than ever. He struck savage
ly at the boat and it's occupants and
made dash for the inside of the
boat.
In their efforts to keep the snake
out the boys overturned the boat and
both were in the water with the mad
snake. They dived and came up di-
rectly opposite the reptile. A second
dive was made and the snake followed
Tyus and bit him in the thigh. He
came up calling for help. Russell
managed to get him to the bank and
examined his wound, which was fast
swelling. He carried him to his home
near by and there medical assistance
was rendered. He is very sick, but
the attending physician thinks that
he will recover.-Brownsvil Corre-

Deutsch undressed, and handed his
clothing and purse to one of the SOL

no question of any one leaving the
bath naked. However, when Deutsch

him a bundle of ordinary civilian

Thunder is just the snap that we
hear in our electric machines greatly
intensified, and it is no doubt caused
by the violent commotion in the air

Newport, r. 1.-The 1000 club wom-
en- who came here from Boston Friday
for an outing, went back greatly sad
dened as a result Of an accident which
caused serious injuries to three of
their number.
Many Of the visitors. who were dele
gates to the biennial session OF the
general Federation of Women's Clubs
in Boston, had been enjoying carriage
drives about the city, and It was the
occupants Of a tally-ho coach bound
for Easton's beach who met disaster.
When the coach had reached the mid
die Of a steep hill In Bath road, one
of the forward axles suddenly broke
and almost instantly the vehicle col
lapsed. Nearly all of the women
were caught beneath the coach, which
turned completely over. Private auto
mobiles carried the injured to the
Newport hospital.
Most of those taken to the hospital
were able to leave the institution after
they had been treated for bruises and
other minor injuries, and only three
remain. These are:
Mrs. Henry Wynn, Maiden, Mass,
suffering from a fracture of the skull.
Mrs. B. F. Davenport, Watertown,
Mass, collar bone and three ribs frac-
tured.
Mrs. Sundean, Lincoln, Neb., ankle
dislocated and suffering also from
bruises and cuts about the head.
The condition Of Mrs. Wynn Is re-
garded as very critical. 1t is thought
that although badly injured Mrs.
Davenport and Mrs. Sundean will re-
cover.

YIMMY BRODERICK'S Uncle Dick
was not only q great inventor.
n but one of the kindest men that
ever lived.
Although he earned his living by In
venting useful things like automatic
plows that would plow a whole field In
the night time while the farmer lay In
bed asleep, and automatic fish poles
that would bait their own hooks and
throw out their own lines and pull in
their own fish and take them of and
bait the hooks over again, still Uncle
Dick was ready at a minutes notice to
drop all that sort Of thing and invent
something to give boy pleasure. And
you will agree that nephew who has
an uncle like that has treasure.
Jimmy Broderick knew this and he
took great care of Uncle Dick, carrying
an umbrella for him when 1t rained and
watching to see that he ate his meals
regularly, for like all great inventors.
Uncle Dick could not take care Of him
self very well.
What would you like for the Fourth
Of July, jimmy" asked Uncle Dick
about a week before that important
day.
II would like most Of all to have a
great big sky rocket" said Jimmy.
you shall have one," said his uncle,
and Immediately went into his inven-
tory shop, which is the funny name
that he gave to the little room where
he invented things.
The telephone bell rang a good deal
that day. On the very next morning a
big truck arrived from the city with
two big casks on 1t. They were painted
red and marked Danger! Powder!" in
big letters. There were also huge rolls
Of thick pasteboard, each sheet big
enough to make the whole side of a
house. and there were so many of
them that the horses could hardly pull
them
Uncle Dick rubbed his hands and
chuckled like anything when he saw
the material.
you shall certainly have a sky
rocket" said he to Jimmy. "And the
best of IT. is that the greater part of
the country for hundreds of miles
around will have one. too"
Jimmy was very curious and still
more puzzled, but he knew that Uncle
Dick did not like to explain his inven-
tions beforehand, SO he asked no ques-
tions, but merely kept his eyes open
and did not go out of sight of the in
ventory shop all morning.
Before noon a great gang of men ar
rived, and under Uncle Dicks orders
they began to carry all the material to
the pasture, where they deposited 1t
around huge old dead pine tree that
stood smooth and straight reaching
into the air fully 80 feet without
branch to break 1t except on the very
top, and that was soon gone, too, for
Uncle Dick sent men up there and
they Topped it off so that then the
tree stood sleek and smooth like q
mast
Then the sheets Of pasteboard were
laid on the ground and rolled into a
great cylinder 80 feet long and at least
ten feet in diameter.
AS soon as a sheet was rolled into
shape the men tied 1t tightly with
yards on yards Of rope and then an
other sheet was rolled around the first
and more rope tied around that and
SO on until all the pasteboard had been
used up, and that was such a lot that
1t took the men all day with the hardest
kind Of work.
The-next day they opened the casks
Of powder and began to load 1t in and

mense skyrocket and trembling all
over at the thought of the explosion
when she went OF. And all over the
land people who could not go to tho
farm were watching the heavens and
paying very little attention to the 9th
er fireworks Of the United States, be-
cause the papers bad told all about the
rocket and had explained that 1t could
be seen hundreds of miles when 1t
went up.
When the time came, Uncle Dick
gave Jimmy big piece Of lighted punk
and then he stood in front of the tree
and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: You will
notice that this tree is inclined toward
the north. My calculations tell me
that when the rocket is lit 1t will pull
the tree clear out of the ground and
go north for at least 1000 miles, which
will bring it over uninhabited country,
where it will fall without hurting any
body, unless bear or q moose should
get in the way. Now, Jimmy, touch
her OFF,"
Jimmy touched the end Of the fuse
and then everybody ran away to a safe
distance. The fire climbed swiftly, and
suddenly with a bang that shook the
hills and broke the windows even in
towns 100 miles away, the giant rocket
went off.
Out came the tree, roots and all. and
sailed grandly into the sky with a hiss
ing trail of fire behind it. The amazed
spectators watched it for more than
half an hour, getting smaller and
smaller, till 1t disappeared In the
northern sky.
For days after that the paper printed
reports from distant places from peo-
pie who had seen a wonderful fiery
thing in the night. By means of these
reports, 1t was possible for Uncle Dick
to pursue the course Of his wonderful
rocket until he found that 1t had gone
far over Canada; but he could not
learn where 1t had fallen and he did
not learn until recently.
But about week ago a hunter who
had been in the very far north of Can
ada, near Hudson bay, shooting musk
oxen, visited Uncle Dick. He told f6t
Of interesting hunting adventures, and
finally said:
"The queerest thing that saw was
far up in the barren lands where there
are no trees. One day l saw something
odd some distance away. and went
there on my snow shoes.
what do you suppose I found? A
mighty tree! That was queer enough
up there. But queerer still was the fact
that this tree did not stand In the
ground as other trees do, but stood
roots up with its crown buried deeply
in the soil. It was the most marvellous

Jimmy.

into 1t.
