the perspiration off his brow.

office mates. "Been working with your

"Nix," said jim. 'I've been chasing

Then somebody called attention to
white spots on his nose, cheeks and
ears. and when the frost had been
rubbed out of them, the telephone bell
rang. A wifely voice rang for Jim,
saying:
"Can you come home for a few
hours? The water pipes have frozen

will be flooded, and it is so cold the
children are crying"
jim stopped his "Camouilaging" and
didn't pretend to wipe any more

What We Believe

If we all acted upon what we all be-
Iieve, what different world this would
be. Everyone admits that it is more
blessed to give than to receive. Yet
instead of seeking happiness by Civ
ing Of our best to those about us, we
sit waiting for it to be brought to us,
through the kindness of others. We
are like those who are learning to
swim and though they know the wa
ter will bear them up if they follow d.
rections, cannot bring themselves to
let go. 1t is safe to trust TO the
truths that all believe, but so few act
upon,-Girl's Companion.

Stern Measures Adopted to Prevent
Escape of Hospital Patient.

After seeing two Negroes peerine
through the window of the room occupied
by George Cox, also colored, who was
shot by Detective Mahoney, from whom
he was trying to escape after being arrest
ed for stealing chickens, the prisoner Is
now shackled to his cot in the Delaware
Hospital The nurse called for help when
she saw the men and they disappeared.
They are believed TO have come to
the hospital in an automobile, and to
reach the window where they were
seen they must have had a ladder, al
though none was found about the prem

the suspicion that Cox was to be taken
from the hospital.
