Boy Gives Life
to Save a Girl

GARY, Ind, Oct. Isl guess I'm
some good. after ALL" s
Billy Rugh, the 14-year-old crippled
newsboy, whose withered leg was am
putated to save the life of a girl in
a skin grating operation in a hos
pltal here, spoke these words today
and then died.
Pneumonia was said by the ply
s,cianss to have been the cause of
death. The ailment, however. re-
suited directly from his self-sacrifce,
having been due to irritation of the
lungs by the ether that was given
him when his leg was cut off to fur
nish skin for the body of a person
whom he had never seen.
The girl, Miss Ethel Smith, for
whom he sacrificed his leg and later
his life, had been horribly burned in
a motorcycle accident. It is Just two
days since her recovery advanced
sufficiently to permit her removal
from the hospital in which Rugh
died.

MEN, PAUPERS NO LONGER,
ENTITLED TO SUFFRAGE

TRENTON, Oct. 1S.-In an opinion
rendered yesterday Assistant Attor-
ney-General Nelson B. Gaskill holds
thai If a person has left an almshouse
and proceeds to earn a living he re-
moves himself from the classification
of paupers and is entitled to the right
of suffrage.
The findings of the assistant attor-
ney-general were called forth by a re-
quest from Harvey A. Van Hise. clerk
of the Board of Registry and Election
of Cassville. He asked for the proper
meaning of the word "pauper" with
relation to suffrage, including not
only the inmates of a poorhouse, but
those dependent upon a weekly al
lowance from the overseer of the
poor and who maintain themselves
outside of an institution.

The Mysterious Escape

something with which to while away

told me this story:
"One day during the summer Of

him take all he wanted. and he went
away with them. In few days he
came in and paid for Ill except Pill

saying that his aunt had q copy and
had read it through many times. Be
sides he added. the book is too heavy
for an old woman to hold anyway.
"Soon after this a mulattO came into
the shop. handed me scrap Of paper
with the words Pilgrims Progress
written on it and asked if I had the
book, saying that his mistress. who
lived on a plantation between here
and Augusta, had sent him for it. |

Variety Of Uses For the Sheet That
Gives You the News.
Your morning paper has many uses.
1t is made of solid wood pulp and will
at pinch supply an excellent substi-
tute for blankets or vest. You may
dress in the paper or sleep under it
and find it pleasant companion. You
may also-in the intervals Of better
uses-read It, But that is q waste Of
time. The proper way to treat the
newspaper IS to tear it up and scatter
it on the floor in the morning and then
pick 1t up. It Is morning exercise
invented by a Partisan actress who
takes the newspaper and tears 1t up.
The fragments are thrown upon the
floor in a thousand pieces. Then she
gets up and collects those pieces, and
the point is that not a fragment is lost,
for this is the new way of garden
ing-the STOPPING cure that is recon-
mended by every doctor. You can do
it in your home and do not require a
garden. 1t is only to buy the morn
ing paper, tear it into fragments, chuck
them on the floor and pick them up
quite as good as gardening.-London

Captain Dan Mobray, popinJay,
had charge of them, and he boosted
that if any Yank could break Jail when
he was in command he was welcome
to do SO. RE had Il theory that most
escapes OF prisoners are effected by
some one smuggling in to them arti-

so he wouldn't let any one get near
them without being searched.
"Despite Captain Dams precautions,
one fine morning when the guard went
to feed the prisoners he found every
mothers son of them had gone during
the night All the bars necessary to
their escape had been sawed through.
When Captain Dan came to the Jail
and saw what had been done he came
near having a fit. He summoned every
one who had had access to the prison
ers--there were only two or three per-
sons in all-and questioned them close
ly, but gained no clew. Never was Il
man more puzzled. He cursed and
swore, and if any of the Yanks had re-
manned l think he would have tortured
them to make them tell how the tools
had been struggled into the Jail. What
bothered him most was that he was
satisfied that no person who had WIS.,
tied the prisoners had done the SNUG
Cling. A few eatables had been sent
in, but they had all been so carefully
examined that by no possibility could
they have contained tools. From some
thing l heard during the talk about the
escape got on to clew.
What heard was this: Only one ar
ticle except food had been sent to the
prisoners. A pious old lady living up
the river had sent them a copy of Bun
vans Pilgrims Progress But the
book had been we'll shaken and care
exercised that nothing should be con-
cealed between the leaves. 1t was not
suspected that the book had contained
saws or files. The only singular part of
this matter was that the prisoners had
taken the Pilgrims Progress with
them.
after the close Of the war I learned
the secret. It seems that after the es-
cape one of the Yankees was concealed
for a time on the plantation Of Tom
Clark Clark's daughter Helen fell in
love with the fellow and he with her.
Six months after the loss of our cause
this Yankee came down and married
Helen Clark. While here he told the
story of how he and his comrades got
their tools. Clark who was rank I'm
ion, took home the Pilgrims Prog
ress' on purpose to put saws into the
thick covers. He didn't dare send the
book direct TO the prisoners, expecting
that such an act would implicate him.
He brought it back to me and induced
an old lady to buy it and send it TO the
prisoners. When she consented Clark,
not willing to rely on an ordinary mes
senger, got one of his sons to make up
for q darby, buy the book and carry 1t
to the Jail"
