ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Charles Miller and Andrew Williamson Get Away from Brooklyn Sunday Mornins-Pried Off Lock of Grated Door.

Charles WenzeI, alias Miller. 2s years of age. and Andrew Williamson, 24 years of age, the former doing a year for burglary and the latter shorter at Brooklyn Sunday morning, and are now at large. Telephone messages to various parts of Connecticut and sur- rounding states were sent out imme- cape. and Sheriff Preston B. Sibley has authorized the offering of $200 reward for their apprehension.
 The men have been employed as as- sistants in the kitchen of the jail, and thereby gained their opportunity to get away. They arose usually each morning about 3 o'clock to help prepare the breakfast. Alone in the kitchen, they were able to work their plan unmolest- ed, and gained their liberty by prying off the fastenings of a lock that held a grated door over a cellar window in place. Activity at the jail is not re- sumed as early on Sunday as on other mornings of the week. and Miller and Williamson got two hours start be- fore the break was discovered All eff forts to locate them on Sunday failed. The theory is that they kept in the woods during the day, to eventually try to steal out of this part of the country from some railroad town. They are probably well supplied with food and are warmly clad.
 Both left the jail wearing the reEu- lation winter outfit, blue overalls. coarse reefers. black caps and rubber boots, the latter appropriated. Williamson is tall and slim, with light hair Miller is the more stocl1ily built of the two, but of good height, and his rather swarthy, coarse face adds to his usual ly unlxempt appearance. He was sent up from the May term of the superior court of Windham county for burglar izing the Bradley residence at Pomfret Williamson, who has a shady record was sentenced in October from the city court of Putnam for stealing an over coat from c. c. Talbot of that city, and was later arrested in Worcester while trying to sell the garment

STOMACH DISTRESS JUST VANISHES Indigestion Heartburn, Dyspepsia Stomach Headache
 Go and You Feel Fine in Five Minutes-Just 45s Little Diapepsin is Always Effective

Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspep- sia or an out-of-order stomach with the common eVery-day cures adVer- tiSed that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer.
 This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which putrefy in the digestive tract and intestines, and, besides, poll son the breath with nauseous odors.
 A hearty appetite, with thorough di- gestion, and without the slightest dis comfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.
Norwich bulletin., 1910-01-03

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of 1nd1- gestion or some form of Stomach trouble. why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy?
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 5O-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heart burn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such mis- cries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour undigested food, Nausea, Head aches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders.

now reigning in our class rooms They
need your friendship. and will re
ward IL. In honoring them you are
honoring your own teachers who may
have passed away. Two OF noble me-
mory. Miss Katherine Gilbert, and
Prof w. +. c. Wright, have gone
since your last reunion. We are all
OF US who knew them enriched by
the memory OF their faith and their
works.
And we welcome you TO the build
ings and groves of the College. Make
the Library your own, and the great
chapel &c, acquainted with the In
dustrlal Buildings and Pearsons Hall.
The older graduates will appreciate
the action OF the Institution in ac-
curing several OF the old teachers
residences. The Rogers House, now
occupied by Dean Dinsmore, the Fee
House now occupied by Prof Robert
sou, the Wright House, afterwards
used by Prof. Hunting, and now occu-
pied by Secretary Gamble. and the
Dodge House, have all been purchas-
ed in the last seven years. We had
to pay large prices. and to borrow the
money, and we are still in debt for
all this property, but we felt that
the Institution must expand its do
main, and that these homes, dear 90
many an old student, must not pass
into alien hands.
SO, too, we cherish the venerable
buildings of the College. Ladies Hall
and Lincoln Hall are monuments Of
the Faircbid Administration. And
more precious than these are the Tab
ernacle and above all Howard Hall
which harks back to Rogers Admins
tration and the days OF "reconstruc-
ton" just following the war. These
unfortunately are wooden buildings,
but now that we have steam heat
they could be made practically secure
against fire. Howard Hall ought 20
be refloored and refitted and sand
for at least a century to keep green
the memories of the heroic times in
which 1t was built, and the vigor of
its first occupants
1t is my hope and prayer that you
may have a profitable gathering and
Return TO renewed blessings in all
your several careers, and that l may
be so happy to meet you at the Re
union Of 1913.
Sincerely and faithfully.

that shall read this and see this
picture. They decided to make the
most of life by getting a good educa-
ton to begin with and they stuck TO
their decision. And that is all that
it takes, and they are saying to every
young man and young woman that

You can do as we have done. Why
not make the start this Fall?"
Occasionally one can find a young
person who has no thought of educa-
ting himself and to whom no appeal
can be made. But the obstacle in the
way of many is the habit of putting
off every thing that presents any diff
culties. And this is a matter in
which delay is fatal Time lost from
school can never be made up. The
time used in making up is time that
might have been used to better advan.

Every boy and girl knows what is

those who fail to do so. 1t has
