Unexpected Good Business

A southern liquor house solocited mail orders and secured names by writing to prominent men in small towns asking them for lists of their fellow citizens who use whiskey. If any persons on such list purchase from the company, the citizen who sent in the names gets a commission. Some time ago a merchant in a dry county received a request, and as a joke, filled out the blank with names of total abstainers never known to take a drink or tolerate it in their homes. The business man had for gotten the incident, when one day re- gently he received a check for $14, accompanied by letter from the Kentucky firm stating that the money represented commissions on liquor sold on the list he had submitted.

How to Make Sticky Fly Paper

The use of sticky fly paper is bet ter than the use of poison to trap flies. Once a fly alights on sticky pa- per he is pretty certain to stay there until he dies. If you place saucer containing poison fly paper and water in the dining room window, the flies drink the deadly stuff but they do not die immediately. They may not die until they reach the cream pitcher. If you want to make your own sticky fly paper, boil together equal parts of castor oil and resin and spread the substance on tough paper before it cools.-U. s. Bulletin.

The weather man lay dying; it was only matter of a few hours, the doctor said.
 Motioning to his sobbing friends, he waited until they had crowded around his bed to listen to his last words.
 He gave careful directions for the disposition of his belongings, and out lined the general features of his fu- neral, then he murmured: "And want you to put up nice tombstone for me, with these words carved on it: Probably cooler"
 A minister came to the Episcopal church of a small town to speak.

 The story is related of a Boston contractor who was startled one morn- ing when his foreman rushed in with the news that one of their new houses had tumbled down in the night.
 "What caused it?" asked the boss.
 "Why, the workmen made the mis- take of taking down the scaffolding before they got the wall paper on!" said the subordinate.

MAY PROSECUTE
MEN WHO ASSIST
Pen ESCAPES
Latest Developments in Prison
Getaway Emphasizes Out
side Help.
NEW CLOTHES CARRIED
TO THE PRISONERS
Four Officers Still Out, But Five
of Eight Inmates Are Yet
at Liberty.


Latest developments in the peniten-
tiary escape case emphasizes the fact
that the eight men who Saturday
crawled through ashole made in the
brick wall of thes institution must
have had help from the outside.
The members of sthe board of con-
troll yesterday looked into the matter
to find what action could be taken
toward the detection and prosecution
Of the men who gave this aid.
Ten Years.
A sentence OF from one to ten years
imprisonment, the board found, may
be imposed upon anyone convicted Of
aiding in the escape Of prisoner
guilty Of felony and one year or
$500 fine, or both, In the case OF
person committed fora llisdemeanor.,
All penitentiary offspses come in the
first class. IA ,lsls II, i, vi ~ytss 81
Three things that point strongly to
outside help are:
Miss Brick Pillar.
The brick wall at the prison is re-
inforced by pillars on the outside.
There is nothing on the inside to in
dicate where these pillars come. But
the prisoners who dug the hole came
within an inch of the pillar but did
not strike it. Either the measure
ment from the tower to the pillar
was taken on the outside and given to
those on the inside to go by, or a
hole was first broken through from
the outside. Indications were that
some Of the work of opening the hole
had been done from the outside, but
most of it was done by the prisoners.
for they carried the bricks 20 feet to
the icehouse and there buried them,
presumably so that if someone
should pass by they would not find
any traces of the project. They had
an end board of wagon to place
against the hole if they were discov-
cred
J. ]. King, the man who escaped on
June IL, while working in the brick
yard, and who was returned just a
week before his second escape, told
the prison officials that machine
met him on his former escape on a
hill within mile of the institution.
This could not have been possible,
officers point out, unless there was
cOllusion with men not in the prison.
Saw Men Carrying Clothes.
James A. Brown, member of the
board of control, who, because of the
shortage of help, went himself in the
searching party. in company with one
of the prison officials, was told by a
man they met on the road near the
prison that, while he had not seen
any men walking, he had passed an
automobile from which two men took
a bundle of clothes and started across
a field. It is believed that in this way
some or all of the men were able to
change their clothes and thus make 1t
much more difficult to get them.
Four Officers Still Out.
Four of the officers are yet out
hunting for the five men still at large.
