Don't buy him a sword and a gun,
Whose purpose on earth Is to KILL
Don't teach him that murder Is fun
Or something the bosom to thrili.
Don't send him TO valley or hlli
To slaughter the dove or the daw,
A lesson Ia youth TO instill.
Just give him a hammer and saw
Just give him some lumber OF pine,
Just give him a bundle Of boards
And teach him to follow a line,
And teach him a builders rewards

He Was Absent. Minded

(New York Cor. Pittsburg Dis
patch
There are many ways of beat
ing a ride on the surface cars.
Here's one: Yesterday a slim
man boarded a Sixth avenue sur
face car, and as the conductor
held out his hand for the fare the
slim man began searching his
clothes diligently. The conductor
was patient, but after a moment
started on. saying he would come
back. Presently he did, but the
slim man was still searching. For
the first time the conductor not
iced that the man had a transfer
in his mouth. He drew it forth,
smiled at the slim searcher and
went back to the end of the car.
The slim man sat down, and a
pleasant-faced passenger next to
him giggled. "You are as absent
minded as am, he said. Alb
sent. minded nothing" answered
the retired searcher. Il found
that | had come away from home
without a penny. 1t took me a
minute or two to lick the date off
that veteran transfer" This is
a tip Of John McKirdy, of the
Philadelphia company.

Don't you want to go' Don't you

Often while you slept dear mothers

Turn and seek salvation, and to her

While your friends are waiting, don I

Give your heart to Jesus for soon

RUSH BREAKS ItlL;.T..<.z,
.a FREEDOM WAS BRIEF
Caught at Spring City Last Saturday
Night After Sensational Escape.
Broke Jail at CrossvIe Thursday Night; Now in Dayton
Jail and Will Be Taken to Nashville to Await
Supreme Court.


Victor Rush escaped from the
Crossville Jail Thursday night
about eleven O'Clock and was ar,
rested in Spring City Saturday
night about eight O'Clock. Rush
was being held here pending the
the decision of the state supreme
court, which decision is expected
to be handed down Saturday OF
this week. Rush had been con-
victed of the murder of his broth.
er, Will Rush, and sentenced to
20 years in the penitentiary. AL
so for the murder of the wife of
his brother and had received a life
sentence. The crime was com
mitted in September, 1915.
How lie Escaped.
Rush had been confined in a
cage cell on the second floor OF
the Jail. Some years ago one OF
the iron bars of the cell had been
broken out and the place had been
closed by boiling two fiat sheets
of iron over the hole. Some time
ago either. Rush or some other
prisoner had sawed thru the soft
metal of one of the bars. Rush
had torn up an iron cot and i'm
provised a crude wrench with
which he turned the bolts that
held the two sheets of iron and
was able to move them to one
side. He then used another por-
ton of his iron cot as a lever and
succeeded in breaking the second
bar of the cage. By that means
he made a hole about 10x13 inches.
Thru this hole he made his escape
from the cage into the corridor
and then sprung the door so that
it came open. That admitted him
to the second floor and nothing
more than an ordinary door stood
between him and freedom. This
he soon opened and breathed the
air az a free man, after being
confined to the jail for over Is
months.
Rushpwas very nervous after
he got out of the cage and did
not seem in a hurry to escape
from the building. He told Tai
madge Watson, who was a pris-
oner in the same cell with him,
that once he was outside Of the
Jail he would either be a free
man or dead man, one or the
other. sj..-,
Went to Grassy Cove.
Rush went to from Crossville
directly to Grassy Cove, where
his father and other relatives
live, and there he secured some
food and money. Having been
confined so long he was able to
make little progress on foot on
account of his feet and muscles
getting sore.
Reward Offered
Sheriff Toilet was not at home
when Rush escaped, but arrived
home about two O'Clock Friday
morning and it was then learned
that Rush had escaped. Friday
Sheriff Toilet and Duck Smith
went to Grassy Cove and secured
the assistance of Floyd Wilson
and began searching for Rush.
Sheriff Toilet offered a reward
of S25 for information leading to
the arrest of Rush or $50 for his
arrest and delivery to him. Thru
this means information came to
the sheriff and his men so that
they were able to follow closely
on the track of the criminal.
