The weight in pounds OF a gnat Is

PROPHETS WITHOUT HONOR.

In this age OF skepticism. when ma
tives Of the state OF Missouri seem to
be surprisingly numerous and the prin.
oipIe OF seeing is believing" has been
carried to extremes, the professional
prophets who issue almanacs OF prog
nostication have enjoyed a peculiar
immunity. Every. year. the credulous
and superstitious hasten TO buy their
publications and 90 marvel at the
wide range Of predictions which they
comprise. While the circulation Of
these almanacs Is more extensive In
Great Britain than In this country, u
is not gratifying TO our national pride
10 learn that 100000 copies are pre-
pared annually for American consump-
tion. But even at this late day some
of the dupes are getting wise" and
beginning to check up the prophets.
comparing promise with performance.
says Pittsburg Gazette-Times. Fad
Eel, Old Moore and other OF the prog
nosticators who make their headquar-
tiers in London have been subject to
this process. and the result should
not be without its effect on the circu-
lation Of their next years almanacs,
The only time the professional proph-
cts made hit is after the event. The
number OF inspired persons who pre-
dicted the San Francisco earthquake
is beyond computation. but one and all
neglected to warn the threatened city
until IL was too late. II people are go
ing to be so mean as to check up old
predictions and see whether they came
to pass. IL won't be long until the
prophet is with out honor not only in
his own country. but everywhere else.

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS
RECALLS CELEBRATED DELIVERY

The escape Of five prisoners from
the United States penitenuary at
Leayenworth. Kansas, By using dunn
my reyolyers made OF wood recalls
to the minds Of old timers In the
Northwest the celebrated delivery Of
the King County Jail, at Seattle in
1894, by Tom Blank, a desperate I'M
der sentence OF death. Previous 10
the Harry Tracy hunt II was the
most noted jail break In the history
OF the Northwest Blank made
dummy revolver out Of pieces Of wood
stuck together with chewing gum.
One night he proceeded to hold up
the jailor with this weapon, took the
latter's keys. delivered fourteen pris-
oners from the jail and locked the
iailer in. together with a man ac-
cused OF wife beating, whom Blank
said was so mean he ought TO stay
in Jail
The escaping prisoners scattered
to all parts Of the country, but were
all recaptured except two. Blank
himself was the last man taken, and
then not until he had been shot to
death in a pitched battle with two
deputies. fought in the open on
railroad track, south of Seattle. Blank
was at large more than a week, and
created as much excitement as Harry
Tracy in later years. but did not com
NIT any murders. His was the orig
inal dummy revolver jail break,
and that of Leavenworth may have
been planned by some convict famil-
lar with Blanks famous break.
