THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A PuzzIiny Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.

only py AccluenGs
Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, in fact, that it
has been frequently remarked that If
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch of ingenuity Is displayed
In the plans they make to communi-
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently in western jail the guards
encountered cipher that proved too
hard for them. and it was a good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out. and then the key was acci-
dentally discovered. "A man in for
forgery, as smart rogue as ever was
behind the bars. invented the puzzle.
The writing was on long, narrow
strips Of paper. on the edge Of which
were letters and parts Of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day deputy who was passing
the cell of prisoner saw him passing
long strip of paper around an octagon
lead pencil He took this paper away.
and on it were the mysterious scrawls
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this.
and, going back to the Office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad-
justed it SO that the parts of letters
fitted together and made sentence.
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
Ingenious plan of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had then
written along one Of the fat sides On

Lessons of 1912
Have No Results

Lessons learned last year, regarding
what can be done with the additional
down seems not to have been learned
in vain, judging by what the stronger
teams in the games this year have
done to their opponents.
This year there seems to have been
stronger spirit of decision exhibited
by the different teams and a manifes-
tation of a clearer idea of what to
do and how to do it in order to re
aliZe the greatest benefit out of the
additional down allowed for the first
time last year.
Any number of ten yard gains have
been made in this years games in a
clean cut manner and if the condition
holds good, permitting commensurate
returns when equally matched teams
come together, the season will be one
of more clearly defined attainment
than last.
Thus far there has been lots of &C
ton in the games of this year and
most of the plays have been we'll OPP
ened out, yet, at the same time there
has been an extensive amount of
pretty team rushing.

Pipe Smoking Increasing
Rapidly i'm America

Have you noticed that many more
men smoke pipes nowadays than five
or ten years ago" asked F. w. Ba-
ker, an experienced tobacco man who
is at the Arlington Hotel for a few
days. 1T is no exaggeration to say"
continued Mr.. F. w. Baker, that two
million more men are smoking pipes
now than were ten years ago. This ire
mendous increase is due to the dis
covery of a process of treating Burnley
tobacco to remove the bite from it"
For many years tobacco men have
known that Kentucky Burnley is the
sweetest and mildest of tobacco, but
it remained for a Richmond doctor to
discover the famous Tuxedo Process
which removes every trace of bite or
sting, and preserves the original
sweetness and freshness of the Bur
ley.
