SMALL BOYS PLAY
APRIL FOOL JOKES

This Is All Fools Day and the folk
who have a fondness for practical
jokes are having their inning. II il
wasn't cotton candy favored with pep
per, it was an inviting hat with ?
brick inside TO stub the toe against ;
and if it wasn't either Of these. it was
some fool errand for the customary
bit Of strap oil or something equally
as entertaining.
OF the origin of the custom Of max
ing fools of people on the first day
of April nothing positive seems to be
known. Apparently it is as "old as the
hills" one speculator goes back T.
the days of Noah and the Ark. The
custom, according to an old book
published in 1863, arose from the mis-
take of Noah" sending out the dove
Of the Ark before the water had abat-
ed on the first day of the Hebrew
month which corresponds to our first
Of April. To perpetuate the memory
Of this deliverance il was thought
proper to punish anyone who forgot
so remarkable a circumstance by send
ing him on some foolish errand similar
tc the Intellectual mission.

later indications are that the rubbish
in the carpenter shop was the start

Vigorous action by United state,
troops Is all that prevented serious
panic. The prisoners awakened bs
the panic and seeing the glare of the
fire. set mp a great outcry. Many OF
the convicts beat helplessly at the
doors Of their cells
Several companies Of soldiers were
ordered under arms and stationed at the
prison doors. The convicts were then
brought out and transferred TO a local
stockade.
An investigation will also be made
today of the reason for the low pressure
in the water mains.
The fire started al 10 o'clock and be-
cause OF the low pressure its headway
was very rapid. Hardly had the last
prisoner been removed, when the walls
Of one Of the cell houses fell with a
crash. The property loss is estimated
at 100000.
The prison records were rescued from
the administration building.
Today the prison officials are engaged
checking over the names OF the pris-
oners. Some have been removed to the
hospital. and the whole list will have
