The selection made, Blackstone invites the recipient to the stage and the rabbit is placed in her hands with the magician's permission to take it home. Now, the question is. if you wanted bunny and a handsome man actually gave you one, placed it in your hands your own to do with as you please could you hold it in your hands?
 Could you make sure all the while that bunny actually was in your hands? It's right there, before your eyes, you see it, you hold 1t and you feel it, but with the proof of your own eyes. your own hands, your own knowledge. could you be sure? Bun ny's part in the big production of the master mind of magic and superman of mysticism is not unimportant by any means and when Blackstone gives it away one of the most interesting and amusing incidents of the show keeps ahe audience applauding and laughing with unmistaken enthusiasm.

ROBERT HARRIS
BREAKS JAIL

we'll County Lookup.

Robert Harris, convicted at the re-
cent term of Tazewell Circuit Court
and sentenced to fifteen years in the
pcnitentiary for felonious assault
and robbery, committed at Graham
and who has been awaiting the
arrival of n guard from the State
penitentiary, escaped from the coun-
ty jail, here Wednesday afternoon,
and at the hour of going to press
Thursday afternoon is still at large.
The prisoner gained his liberty by
breaking the locks of the cell doors
and prizing bar of window in the
rear of the Jail. His escape was dis
covered few minutes afterwards by
Mrs. Boothe, the wife of the TAILOR,
who gave the alarm, and large pos
sc of men, including the sheriff, went
in pursuit. The negro was seen to
cross the hill west of town. and was
later seen to cross the river near the
Burke's Garden Siding, but search
OF all available hiding places in that
section failed to be of result.
Bloodhounds were brought down
Wednesday night from Graham, but
were unable to get \ trail. The pris-
oner was reported to have passed the
home of Left Neel about ten o'clock
ac iiSHI, anu IL is InOuGnC lie was
making his way to the coal fields.
A strict watch is being kept on all
roads in that vicinity. The Baldwin
Feltz Agency have been requested by
the Commonwealth Attorney to take
up the hunt, which they have done.
This description is given of the ne
gro by the county authorities here:
He is about % years old, had very
straight black hair, wore dark
mustache, resembles foreigner, his
color is light brown, weight about
ll0 pounds, wore tan shoes, blue ov-
erall jumper and blue serge trous-
ers. About 5 feet, six inches tall.
Jailor Boothe is of the opinion that
Roy Hagy, the forger and deserter,
in Jail here, is largely responsible for
the negro's escape, having escaped
from this Jail himslef recently, and it
is believed he engineered the schme
to get away, but was caught himself
by Mrs. Boothe who forced him to re-
turn to his cell, threatening to kill
him if he didn't obey her command.
The county authorities have offer
ed reward for the apprehension of
the prisoner, and it is understood
that Graham has also offered a re-
ward.
