TRIED TO ESCAPE PEN
GUARDS AT STATE JAIL ARE TOO
GOOD WITH RIFLE FOR PRIS-
ONERS TO GET AWAY.
TWO ARE Shot, ONE DIED HOUR AFTER
Convicts Make Ladder Of Bedsteads
and Swiftly Escape over Wall-At
$50 Yards Guard Peterson Puts
Bullet Into Bearup.

Boise, Idaho.-Two prisoners were
shot, one fatally, by guards of the Ida
no state penitentiary Saturday when
they attempted to escape from the in
stitution.
The convicts are:
U. G. Bearup, serving life sentence
for murder, shot in the spine. Died
soon after.
c. A. Alters, serving an indetermi-
nate sentence for forgery; shot in
arm, which had to be amputated.
How Affair Was Planned.
The break for liberty was made
while half of the guards on the prison
wall were at lunch. Prison officials
believe a dozen or more men were
concerned in the plot to escape. 1t is
evident that it had been carefully
planned. On Saturday mornings con
victs take their wooden bedsteads
from the cell houses to the yard and
clean them 1t was two of them nailed
together that Alters and Howard used
to scale the wall. Alters got over, but
the ladder broke and Howard dropped
back into the prison yard
Guard Howard winged Alters.
Jones carried with him a bottle o
the disinfectant solution the prisoners
we're using on their bedsteads. The
escaping men intended to use it to
throw the bloodhounds off the scent.
Guard Is Good Shot.
1t was the deadly accuracy o.
Guard Peterson's rifle that ended tht
chase Alters fell at the prison towel
house, 300 yards from the wall. Bear

And Sorrow Is Turned
Into Joy Before
Him.

Al woman has written from
facts a most remarkable novel in
which this national menace is
terribly and truthfully depicted.
The book of Job gives the title
to this novel in the following quo
tation on the fly leaf:
"Canst thou draw out Leviathan
with a hook? Upon the earth
there is not one like. him. He is
king over all the children Of pride.
When he raiseth himself up, the
mighty are afraid. In his neck
remaineth strength, and sorrow is
turned into joy before him"
1t is because OF this last SEN
tence, perhaps, that the dread
drug can be most likened to
Leviathan, since so many sad
souls and troubled hearts and suf-
fering bodies find temporary joy
in the merciless grasp Of the
drug.
But God and all His hosts Of
Ministering Angels must come to
the rescue of one who seeks such
Joy, or the end is misery, shame
and despair.
The author has painted in vivid
colors the terrible fight made by a
brave soul to overcome the drug
habit after It had been contracted
and after repeated efforts and
failures to abandon 1t, and she
ends her great book with her hero
cured and in perfect health and
the father of robust children.
The author makes this charge:
Opium, laudanum, morphia,
etc, is not the tragedy of the
underworld, nor of the lap-dog
world. 1t is the tragedy of the
working world-of doctors, writ
ers, lecturers, scientists, teach
ers, students-both mon and
women"
Then she adds:
Its a national problem that
can not be settled by sending one
man or even many to jail. It's
monster that has crawled up out
Of the dark on the American peo-
pie. What are we going to do

Those pagan people" wore
forced into the opium traffic by
the most orthodox Of Christian
nations, the British.
Opium brings England $780,
100000 a year.
At one time Parliamentary
commission was appointed to in
vesdgate the effect of opium on
the Chinese race. and the British
official in charge Of the matter
swore roundly that 1t was no
more harmful than 'twiddlinE
ones thumbs"
This in face of the awful evils
which result from the drug. To
such depths will a desire for
financial profit drag Christians.
It has been said that eleven men
out of every ten" smoke opium in
China. And this habit can be
traced directly to Great Britain.
America is honeycombed with
opium dens. And American So

unemployed rich, has its hundreds

Ask the messenger boys Of any
of our large cities what they

the go-betweens who bring the
drugs to the unfortunate victims
of the habit IN dens of vice and
in palatial homes, oftentimes
where the regular employees Of
the house would not permit the
poison to enter in any regular
manner. But the messenger boy
can always enter. Just as the
physician can always enter.
In the days of our Pilgrim
fathers and their successors there
was no such thing as a drug
menace. It seemed to enter
America during the Civil War.
And since then it has grown, until
it is a colossal evil, aided and
abetted by a large percentage Of
physicians and helped by drug
glsts and virtually ignored by the
church and society.

her children on the supposition
that she'll be perfectly happy and

Children are human and IN
laws are doubly human, and the
minute they have done mother
outt of her property they, forget
the obligation, and consider her a
burden. Between mother'with her

between a welcome guest and the
woman in the way.
There is no way to keep your

And would equally urge the
woman who is in business not to
give up her Job because her pro-
spective son-in-law invites her to
come and live with him. Ante
nuptial and post-nuptial senti-
ments in man are seldom the
same. and experience shows that
