NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.--John Barr,
highwayman. is most unhappy
despite the fact that he possesses c
distinction which can be claimed by
no other highwayman-indeed, by no
ether man. no other human being.
lie is the only person who ever
tried to break out OF the Queens coun.
ty Jail. In Long Island City, and
failed.
Some prisoners like the lodging
and the fare In the Queens county
Jail and they stay there. Others
sometimes are not pleased. Ii has
been the custom for such inmates to
walk out through an open door or q
rail place in the wall and 90 away
from there.
Barr. not knowing the proper and
recognized way to escape from the
Queens county jail, went through an
elaborate preparatory performance,
gave the warden and keepers whole
lot OF bother aud Is still in.
AT the time Barr was placed in the
Jail, after having held up at pistol
point several farmers in the wllds OF
Queensborough, he said he dfSh L care
what became of him. as he had only a
short time TO live. He had been in
another jail, he complained, where the
food was very bad. and his digestion
had been so impaired that his death
was scarcely more than matter OF
days.
Still, he seemed to have a good ap-
petite. Lotie Smith, young lady OF
pleasing appearance, used to call on
him, bringing him dainties, such "a
dill pickles, Swiss cheese, Bismarck
herring and potato soup.
All these delicacies were carefully
probed by the keepers. as young ladies
who visit prisoners in this part of the
country have a cute little way OF
smuggling In files, saws and crow
bars. No hardware was ever discov'
cred In Lottie's proyender.
But the warden, eavesdropping as
Bars and Lottie parted one after.
noon, heard the prisoner whisper, I'll
be out in q few hours"
As soon as l.ottie was gone the
warden and various keepers rushed
into Barz's cell. overpowered him and
went through the place. They founo
he had sawed through the bars OF his
window, SO that he could easily Reno
them outward, and had hidden In MS
cot a knotted rope 40 feet long, made
out OF q stolen blanket, with which
TO let himself down TO the ground.
| Barr was so cross he wouldn't tel
them how he got the saws. Nor eoulc
they find them till at last faiGe bot
tom was discovered In Lotties soul
pail, with the tools nestled cozliy un
derneath.
No more soup for John, no more
privileges for Lottie. When peoplt
break out OF the Queens county 1ai
they've got to do 1t the way It's al
ways been done.

West Warren Wants Decent Car
Service.
To the Editor Of The Times:
The writer will greatly appreciate
space in your paper for the publica-
tion Of these few remarks:
As a resident OF the West Warren
district, wish to emphasize the very
much uncalled for and rotten street
car service to which We are subjected
continually, morning and evening. es-
pecially In this section OF the city.
IL seems as II the d. U. X. were
operating cars merely to fulhn the re-
quirements OF the franchise, rather
than furnish cars on which the pas
sengers are supposed to ride.
The d. U. r., you no doubt have
noticed, are working. through posters
carried In their cars, on the public
sympathy. excusing their repeated
shortcomings, whereas they are do
ing little or nothing to better these
condition.
There seems to be little common
sense or system used by the so-called
assistant superintendent. who are
making q most ridiculous showing AZ
the various division or junction points
and rather than so much red tape,
why not use some showing OF system
In the service. thereby meeting In
part at least with the requirements OF
the travelling public, on which the d.
U. R are solely dependent
The Crosstown service westbound

Warren residents are concerned, Ia
exceedingly poor. owing TO the diver
sion Of three out OF four cars east

| junction. The d. U. X. seems TO for
get or overlook the fact that heavy
percentage OF the traffic west on For
! est-ave. Is carried TO territory be
yond Fourteenth and Warren-aves.
II is noticeable to every person
travelling during the working hours
on the Crosstown lines. that the ID. q

ey A PHYSICIAN.

One OF the earliest signs OF con-
sumption, Is tire, which Is out or all
proportion TO the apparent cause OF 1t.
But, while IL Is very suggestive OF
consumption IL is also suggestive Oh
many other diseases, so cannot be
taken as conclusive proof by any
means.
III a person who thinks he has the
disease takes his temperature four
ines day or more for week or
so he may find that Ii varies, being
lower in the morning and rising in the
afternoon. This is another symptom
which Is only suggestive and not con-
elusive.
But both OF these symptoms come
in the disease before the cough makeS
Its appearance BY the time the
cough comes consumption has pro-
crossed far enough for doctor who
!C fairly good diagnostician to nnd
evidences or II In the chest.
There Is another suggestive circum-
stance. That is II the patient re-
members having been thrown In close
contact with an open case OF con-
sumption, In which care was not OBJ
served
But remember any and all OF these
symptoms are only suggestive of the
disease and might equally well point
to some other.
| However, they are sufficient sug-
gestion that anything existing In the
mode of life which could be called IN
/ ranitary should be removed: that any
thing unhygienic be changed, and that
diagnosis be made by a good physl-
clan. Helpful treatment Of this dis
ease depends very largely on fghting

Treatment for tuberculosis.
| Rest, control, food, fresh air and
| the tuberculin treatment are some OF
the present-day means OF fghting tu-
berculosis. These are the elements OF
cure. and the battle at best is a long
uphill one.
The man or woman who would win
the fight needs a heroic persistence
and patience; optimism, backbone
courage and determination.
Rest. the first essential, must be OBJ
tanned In order that all the energies
Of the body may be available for com
bat.
Control, as important as anything in
this journey toward health, must be
practiced from the outset. IL means

means fighting all the time. II meani

Food, very important factor in the
treatment OF tuberculosis, must be Of
the kind and the quantity which viii

Fat people seem always to have hac
a partial immunity from the disease
In addition TO the general increase o.
resistance from full eating. consump

i good food intake.
1 The need OF air, requisite tc
health In all beings, comes from the
gain of breathing pure air as com
pared with breathing foul air.

We've chosen you for captain
To sail the ship OF state;
The crew is yours 10 manage
From oiler up 10 mate;
We know the ship Is sturdy,
We know her lines are true
So. Mr.. Woodrow Wilson,
ThE rest Is up TO You!
Your chance Is all before you
To prove what you are worth
To show how we'll you handle
The biggest job on earth,
The course Is all uncharted
The beacon lights are few.
The quarterback awaits you.
The rest is up to youl
False lights will fare to tempt YOU
False voices seek to sway
And storms will shrek and batter
And fogs hang thick and gray,
Your task Is 10 guide her.
To sail her safely through;
We've chosen you for captain,
The rest is up TO you.

FOX Terrier stops Great uproar by
Catching Rodent, Hereditary En-

Beasts.

New York.-Speaking OF nurses,
Miss Daisy, the fox terrier lady who
came to the park from some home OF
luxury on Fifth avenue three years
ago. oversight one morning in her
cracker box in the elephant-house.
The keeper explained she was up
all night looking after her charges.
She is about as big as pinch OF salt,
but is nurse to two big elephants, one
7O-year-old horned rhinoceros and her
own incidental litter Of puppies,
At / o'clock in the morning the POI
licemen on duty in the park thought
some one was trying to steal the fat
old elephants, Queen and Pattie. They
were footing and screaming as il some
one were prodding them with hot
irons, and now and then a heavy thud
OF massive foreheads against the walls
Of their house showed they were try
ing to get out. The shrill bark Of Miss
Daisy now and then emphasized the
pandemonium and sounded as II she
were trying to soothe the big brutes.
One OF the keepers hastily entered
the elephant-house and turned on the
light. Queen was sitting in corner
displaying all the signs Of intense
fear, and Pattie was doing a turkey
trot about the Enclosure, cycling small
object in the center of her cage.
Miss Daisy, unheeding the cries Of her
puppies in the cracker box, was dodg-
ing about among the elephants legs
searching the hay for something. As
coon as the light was turned on she
made a quick spring and came out
with a small mouse in her mouth.
Queen and Pattie, sweat rolling from
their wrinkled faces, cooled down and
became quiet. Miss Daisy shook the
life out of the mouse and went back
to her puppies, which she stilled with
a few reassuring whines.
Just another mouse" said keeper.
There is nothing that an elephant is
SO much afraid of. The secret is that
in India small mouse sometimes runs
into the elephants trunk and causes it
intense pain. That's what we keep
Miss Daisy here for-to kill the mice.
Daisy looks after the elephants with
all the solicitude she shows in the care
Of her blind puppies"
