SCALES THE CONVENT WALLS
CHICAGO GIRL RUNS AWAY
WITH MAN OF HER CHOICE.
Relatives Had Vainly Endeavored
to Keep the Young People
Away From Each Other.

CHICAGO. March oO.-After scaling
convent walls with rope ladder. the sis
ter-in-law of Mayor Busse is now the
bride of George Miller. who for months
had wooed the young woman despite OPP
position. She and her bold lover have
Won the forgiveness of even the mayor
and have started housekeeping.
Before her romantic elopement the
st. Mary's College at Rock Island, Ill.
She was married in Gary, Ind.
Mayor Busse. his wife and the girls
mother were much opposed to the mar
riage. They had sent Miss Lee to the
convent. hoping to break up the love af-
fair which started year ago but sepa-
ration only added to the ardor of the par,
and they connived to circumvent the
locked windows and high stone walls.
How They Met.
The love affair began when young Mil
Ter and the Lee family lived in the same
apartment house. The first meeting was
in the hall shortly after the family of the
young woman who was then seventeen
moved into the building. The young man
opened the door for the girl and lifted his
hat. 1t was love at first sight both say.
though she did not acknowledge 1T even to
herself at the time. The two passed each
other many times afterward without
speaking. Miller sought an introduction
but failed to find common acquaintance
One evening he attended a dance at
which she was present. They were intro
duced. From that night on the young
man haunted the Lee house.
Il was only too wiling to have him
there said Miss Lee, "but mother
thought it was too serious an affair. be-
cause L was so young, and tried to keep
us apart. / wanted to see him and he
wanted to see me, and SO we did see each
other
Mrs. Lee consulted another daughter,
Mrs. Busse. and the mayor. 1t was final
of the fiat. The Lees moved. but the
couple were too deeply in love to forget
and managed to see each other frequently
Buns Away From the Convent.
Then another family council was held
1t was decided to send the girl to ST.
Mary's College in Rock Island. The young
man a few days ago went to Rock Is
land. There Is high wall around the
convent grounds. but this did not daunt
Miller. He purchased rope and made a
ladder. Then he went to the convent in
the night a. the appointed hour and
climbed to the top of the wall by means
of prop on the outside. Fastening the
rope on the top OF the wall. he lowered
Lee was ready and watching for him at
the window of her room.
An automobile was waiting. and they
were whisked away to the nearest rail-
road station. The girls flight was not
discovered until the next morning.

4IN TIE AIR TURKEY FUND.T

Thanksgiving is but a week away and the city missionary Is calling for the usual funds to help the deserving poor of the city, and as he has never failed to receive adequate help, it is not assuming too much to say that he is sure to get 1t if the attention of the people is directed to his needs.
 In Jersey this annual fund is called the fin the air turkey fund" because whsn there was not a penny In sight live philanthropist, signing himself as ''In tho Air." put down dime and invited everyone else to do so. It got into the air immediately that all most everyone could spare a dime in so good cause and the dimes began rc pour in, so that in the end there was no lack of dollars for the noble work then in hand.
 With our City Mission this annual fund is fin the air until the thought ful and liberal citizens realize that to feed others is a part of the Thanks giving festival as well as to feast, and he sends to the city missionary the real coin to make his plans effec- tive.
 The good people of Norwich have pockets and dimes, and they are not going to overlook the needs of the City Mission in this year of our Lord 1908.

SOUND SENSE.

There is no denying that under pres- ent street systems in New England cities that slovenliness is the trade mark The clean street, wherever one goes, is the exception, and the unsan- itary street the rule. Inefficiency in street departments is too prevalent, and the fact that Mayor Logan of Worcester, Mass, has entered upon reform in this department, make his sensible remarks worthy of re-publi- cation elsewhere. He says:
 Roads have to be cleaned, just the same as machinery, and when they wear out in any place new piece should be put in. This would save the streets, and I intend to do this be- fore they are worn entirely out, and have to be ripped up. When something on machine breaks, you don't ketp on using it without repairs until it's all gone, do you? Streets should be given the same consideration, but never have been. Streets well taken care of will give twice the length of service. I am planning to make some changes in the street cleaning depart ment which will benefit the streets. l don't know when we will get 1t in op- eration, but I hope to improve the street cleaning service.''
 This is a very practical presentation of the case-an acceptable lesson in economies. Mayor Logan only ventures to hope he may accomplish something. for he realizes that the way of re- form in any direction or for any req son is not along the line of least re- sistance.

COMPARATIVE TESTS.

The comparative tests made by the government with denatured alcohol and gasoline are of interest to all who use the latter fuel for motor pur- poses. While the cost is more for de- natured alcohol than for gasoline, 1t hasn't the offensive, pervading odors of gasoline. MT. R. M. Strong, who made the experiments, says: Almost any engine with a we'll designed car- buretor will run as well with alcohol es with gasoline, except for a differ ence in ease of starting and uncer- tainty in operation at low speeds. By using alcohol in an alcohol engine with a high degrees of compression, the fuel consumption rate in gallons per horsepower hour can be made practi- cally the same as for gasoline in a gasoline engine of the same size and speed. An alcohol engine with the maximum compression for alcohol will have thirty per cent. more available horsepower than a gasoline engine of the same size, stroke and speed, and the weight per horsepower may be Jess.
 With regard to general cleanliness, such as absence of smoke and disa- 6L1IdDlC OuOlr OlIOilS says dl- cohol has many advantages over gas- oline or kerosene as a fuel. The ex- haust from an alcohol engine is never 9louded with black or gray smoke, as is the exhaust of a gasoline or ker- osene engine when the combustion of the fuel is incomplete, and it is sell dom, if ever, clouded with bluish smoke when a cylinder oil of too low a fire test is used or an excessive amount supplied. The odor of de- natured alcohol and the exhaust gases from an alcohol engine are also not likely to be as obnoxious as the odor of gasoline and it's products of com bqsticn.
 'Denatured alcohol costs more than gasoline, and the quantity of denatured alcohol consumed by an alcohol engine as ordinarily constructed and operatad is in general relatively greater than the quantity of gasoline consumed by a gasoline engine of the same type The survey arrives at the conclusion KDat denatured alcohol will prooably not be much for power purposes until 1t becomes as cheap as gasoline and untA the equality of gasoline and all cohol engines in respect to adaptab bii- ity to service and quantity of tIel consumed become more generally real., ized."
