NAPOLEON FREED
BY CLEVER PLAN

In discussing the origin of Louis Ma
poleon's nickname of "Badinguet" some
details were given incidentally of his
escape from the fortress of Ham in
northern France on May IS, 1916, says
a writer in LIE Journal des Debats.
Fuller details are o available, thanks
to the researches of NJ. Thirria, and
II view of the escape of Captain Lux
they have a special interest at the
present moment.
1t seems that the sole credit for the
escape must lie with Louis Napoleon
himself. He made his valet, Thelin.
buy a black wig, some rouge, a cap
which vas scrubbed with pumice stone
and a pair of sabots. Then he cut off
his moustache, put on a blue apron, a
blue pair of trousers and a close
fitting shirt of coarse stuff.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part of the fort
ress where the prince. lodged and this
gave color to his disguise, SO much sc
that the two watchmen entertained no
suspicious regarding the man who
walked past them and out at the big
gate, a pipe in his mouth n a plank
on his shoulder. The sergeant on duty
at the ~drawbridge was reading a letter
as he passed and took no notice of
him. 1t was then 5 O'Clock in the
morning.
-Four times a day, the last time at 5
in the afternoon, did the governor,
Demarle. send for the prince. Each time
DR.. Conneau replied that the prisoner
could not see anybody because he had
taken medicine. When at last the gov
ernor lost patience and went himself
to the princes oom and walked up to
the bed on which the supposed invalid
was lying he discovered that a very
~presentable dummy had taken the
place of Louis Napoleon. The discovery
was made too late. BY that time the
fugitive was owe the Belgian frontier.

ADMITS SENDING
ROsALSKY BOMB.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 22.-
Whether Fred Newson, alias Price, ar
rested here as a vagrant and implf-
Gated in a number of petty thefts, Is
really the man, as he claims, who sent
the Internal machine to Judge Rosal-
sky, of New York. is only a demented
wanderer, the police nave not yet fully
determined.
The first mixing of his alleged con-
nection with the sending of the bomb
to New York was obtained when de-
tectives found in searching his cloth
ing a clipping containing an account
of the attempt upon Judge Rosalsky's
life. Questioned in regard to the clip
ping, he grew nervous, and then blurt-
ed out the bald statement. I'm the
man who sent the bomb"
Pressed for further explanation he
said: 81 sent the bomb to Judge
Rosalsky because he mistreated a
friend of mine, Folke E. Brandt. When
he became a party to the swindling
scheme that sent that poor boy to
prison just because he agreed to plead
guilty to something he never did in
order to please some of the rich people
he was shielding.
Some day wei get all these big
fellows. There's nothing in life for us
anyhow, and the best we can do is
to clean up with those who grind us
down"

SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES
ARE CENTRES OF REFORM,

The public schools in the Philippines
(there are over 4,000) stand closer to
h people than any other agency.
They have become a medium for every
reform or policy which the govern
ment of the Philippine Island thinks
1t wise to inaugurate. Sanitation, n.y.
giene. postal savings banks, domestic
science, land distribution, industrial de-
velopment, agricultural m~ethods-all
are diligently explained to the
Filipino student. Fitting the student
for life. for his natural %environic life
rather than for the legal, religious, or
literary profession, seems to charac-
terize. Philippine education.
More and more emphasis Is placed
on Industrial instruction. domestic
science, trades and agriculture, not
always successfully, because there are
many elements TO be considered. such
as financial limitations, difficulty of
travel and lack of aptitude in certain
districts; but, on the whole. fairly sue
c%essfully and with benefit to the
masses of the natives. Mr.. Frank r..
White. the present director of educa-
ton. is energetic along these lines and
is getting more n more support for
his projects.
The Philippine School Of Arts and
Trades, in Manila, and thirty-five
provincial trade schools Chose located
outside of Manila in the different
provinces or political divisions of the
islands, and manual training schools
have been equipped with full sets of
woodworking tools; twenty-three
have been supplied with machinery
and several with ~ironworking equip
ment. Some of these institutions are
self-supporting from the sale of ar
ticles made.

HARMONIOUS GARB.

A person with a fanciful mind has
suggested that patrons of the drama
should go to the theatre dressed in
harmony with the performance.
This may be aesthetic, but 1t doesn't
sound practical.
There are plays and other produc-
lions which might have a tendency to
give the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS patron
sneezing colds and chilblains, to say
nothing of rheumatism and lumbago.
Fidelity to art is a beautiful trait,
but to ask a man who is accustomed to
ordinary garments to live up to the ar
tistic unities of a viennese light opera
is going a little too far.
