WOMAN'S BEST AGE rs PAST
THIRTY.
Concluded from Page p

Constantly, in studying the lives
Of those who succeed, you will find
that it is the tenth, or even the four
teenth, child that makes the family
famous. Carlyle and Napoleon will
do for examples in widely divergent
fields.
Each was so fortunate as to have
for mother mature woman, at her
best when the child was born
Women make constantly the great
mistake of letting the years count.
Don't let them count
Women are as different from one
another as are cabbages from rose
bushes. If you are rosebush, don't
consent to be old at the age which
ends a cabbage's career You are
beginning to realize your possibili-
ties when the cabbage type of woman
has ended her life's usefulness.
And remember this, you need not
be cabbage woman unless you want
to.
Keep young, keep cheerful. Keep
up your interest-not merely in what
your husband or best young man
has to say about himself, but in
every question.
Again, we say a womans best age
the period where she attains her
best womanhood-is past thirty
years, but we will not say with Os-
Ter, chat men should be chloro-
formed at sixty" We know that
women should not, for many at that
age are mentally at their best, more
especially If they learned early in
life the lesson, which so many sadly
neglect, of keeping the years from
counting. 1t is every woman's duty
to herself, husband and family to
study how to prevent the years from
counting; it can be done; it is a
woman's duty. Don't let them
count. Gaillard's Southern Medi-
cine.

The contraction of the currency,

more to do with the transfer of

such pass. The Socialist fears that

And again, the Land Trust. o my!
1t seems that a New York banking
concern has bought five hundred
thousand acres in Texas, and Brother
Brand sees a land trust forming.
There are, it is true. specu-
lators who will plunge that way,
once in while, but those of
us who dwell in the old States
know that a land trust is an impos-
s1b1lity. No, no; the system which
high finance has fastened upon us

Agitation for a new depot at Delta
is perfectly in order. The old one,
while not quite so bad by comparison
as was the old shack of postoffice, is
a discredit to Delta and to the railroad
company, which is certainly able to
build better one. Delta being
the best shipping point of the Western
Slope, should be quite enough to justi-
fly the demand that we should have
a station worthy the name and that
would in part at least, compare with
the Importance of the place.

Four Are Sentenced
But before Smith made his plea, four
o+'-~-s had been sentenced.
Jim Mason, charged with robbing the
Rafelock store was the first. He is
said by Under Sheriff Bayliss to have
plotted to make another assault upon
him similar to the one several months
ago. He has told the boys in there,
'Wh-t's the use of staying in here when
we can go outside as well as not. All
we have to do is to get some acid and
a saw and when the jailer gets in the
way knock him on the head, that's all.
and go on about our business %
BayliSS says that in contemplation OF
that very deed the prisoners had broken
UP two iron beds to use the posts as
clubs. But Mason, after the discovery
of the plot said. We'll I'll give up" He
was sentenced to the penitentiary.
Earl Guilke, aged 16, pleaded guilty
to stealing wheat from Union Pacific
car. He had helped Jay Steen who
broke Jail with Thompson and Carter
who are still at large. He was not
thought to have been bad youth until
influenced by Steen and was sent to the
reformatory with the lecture that he
was too young to enter into the grain
business and would Ie better prepared
by the time he returned from his first
lesson.
Archie 3ergie, from Des Moines Ia,
although under 20 years of age, was
sentenced to the penitentiary. He had
not been in Topeka "A hours before he
had stolen a revolver and a suit of
clothes and gone to the reform school
to get out an old friend.
Earl Frost white man. accused of
being an accessory to a brother-in- law

months ago, broke into a jewelry store

worth of jewelry, last Saturday offered

penitentiary today, making the list
waiting to be transported number six.
The gang of a dozen negro prison
ers at the county Jail are said by the
officers to be the worst lot ever held
there. Continually they tramp about
the cells thinking of some way of es-
cape or an attack on an officer.
Two attempts were made to break out
Saturday night or within a few days
one on the lower floor and one on the
upper. The plot on the upper corridor
was discovered Friday evening when
gerry was released on bail. He then
confessed to the officers that he had
been induced to promise Floyd Wilhoyt
that upon gaining his freedom he would
bring back saws and acid with which
to cut the bars. This started an in
vestigation and late Saturday night a
second attempt was found to be in
progress on the lower corridor far more
dangerous than the other.
Most of the negroes. many of them
hardened criminals were on this floor.
The officers went about the cells search
ing every corner and the clothes for
any sort of tool. In the corner of Tom
Smiths cell under his bunk six bars
were found to be sawed more than half
way in two. Discovered. Smith claimed
all the blame. insisting that none other
was in the plot. This is not believed
by the officers.

ed. The gas company was notified and
made several excavations along the
path of the mains to discover the leak
but so far without success. Today men
are digging down to the mains in front
of the building. Fires are kept burning
to thaw out the frozen ground. Near
this place year ago in April. the es-
Gaping gas caught fire. An explosion
resulted, throwing flames and bricks
high into the air. The fire department
prevented serious damage.

". Lindell. assistant cashier of the
Shawnee State bank, said this morning
that he had often noticed the odor of
gas coming up from the grating OF the
cellar when the wind was from the
west. He also stated that others had
reported the same thing.
When asked the gas people said that
they had not heard of the suspected
leaks near the vacant building or
Lukens' property but would investigate
at once. The Lukens say that they had
not noticed indications of escaping gas
near their residence.

the bunk three improv:sed files with
sticks of wood wrapped with rags for
handles were found. These files are
made from the spring steel strips pull
ed out from the shanks of the prison
ers' shoes. They are bent and broken
into jagged ends and these small tools
not more than a half inch across were
patiently applied to the bars night
after night.
ImprOvised Alcohol Lamp.
A great aid in this. however. has
been heat secured by an ingenious de-
wise. Smith OF some one of the men
had secured an old cigar box which
would attract no suspicion. Smith
then pleaded with the officers for a
quantity of bed bug killer, claiming
tic, the greater part of which is al
cohol. burns like coal oil. so that a
crude lamp was made of the cigar
box and wooden rag for wick. BY
holding this under the rods and get
ting them hot the ragged edged steel
springs were scratched back and forth
on the bars until some were more
than half severed.
1t was the plan to cut a square
| large enough for BODY to pass
through. Three rods at top, three at
the bottom. two at one side. eight in
all, to be sawed and the two on the
opposite side could have been broken
off by prying out the small door.

and the fact that they. were under
