RELEASED TO VISIT DENTIST
Plea of Sufferer Softened Heart of
Justice-SimiIar Circumstances
Recorded In History.

Recently Theodore Roberts, the
actor, was released temporarily from
Ludlow street jail, New York, in or
der that he might call upon his den
list during five different days and
have his teeth fixed. Roberts was
serving out a commitment because he
had failed to pay alimony to his wife
under a decree of separation. Before
4e could be permitted to 60 to the
dentist an atiid davit had to be submit
ted in which DIR. Frank e. Seely, the
dentist, declared Roberts had Riggs
disease and would lose all his teeth
if not attended to Immediately. The
court granted permission because the
dentist could not make use of his elec-
trical instruments at the jail.
From the time of the story of Da-
mon and Pythias various reasons for
temporary release from Jail have been
gwen. 1t is related that in the Napo-
leonic era soldier confined in mill
tary prison for a minor offense
against the service during a brief time
of peace was released in order that
he might be present at the christen-
ing of his infant son, born during his
Imprisonment. But Napoleon, in or
der to test the intensity of the mans
desire made him agree to serve year
longer fol the privilege of three-day
furlough. The soldier gladly did it
and when he returned found pardon
and corporal's warrant for his in
fant son, to be valid when the son
had Served with credit six months in
the emperors army of the future.
Frederick the Great released an auda-
cious captain under sentence of death
so that the captain might tell him a
few beneficial things about himself.
The things told face to face influenced
the great king to pardon the blunt
deathdefying soldier.

HIS MOST ANXIOUS MOMENT,
When Dewey Feared He Might Be
Branded as a Coward.

Admiral Dewey tells in his autobi-
ography the story of his most anxious
moment. 1t was when he was execu-
tive officer of the warship Mississippi
After passing the forts at New Orleans
his ship was about to sink under fire.
and the crew had to be taken off In
boats. There were not enough boats.
and the danger of a magazine explo-
sion became so great that the crews
showed increasing hesitation In return
ing for another load On sudden i'm
pulse Dewey jumped into one Of the
boats to go after the rowers and COM
pei them to return. He continues:
"Not until we were free of the ship
did I have a second thought in realiza-
ton of what I had done. l had left
my ship in distress when 1t Is the rule
that the last man to leave her should
be the captain. and | as executive Off
Ger should be next to the last
"That was the most anxious moment
Of my career What II a shot should
sink the boatp What If a rifle bullet
should get me? All the world would
say that had been guilty Of about as
craven an act as can be placed at the
door of an officer This would not be
pleasant reading for my father up In
Vermont He would no longer think
that | had done the rest reasonably
well If the ship should blow up
while | was away and | should appear
on the reports as saved probably peo-
pie would smile over my explanation. "
As 1t turned out. however. the maya
zine did not explode, and Dewey's
presence was needed to bring the boat
crews back and save the men still on
the sinking ship.
