English Pearls to America

There is q growing demand in Amer
lea for English pearls. 1t is said by
experts here that transactions in cost
ly ropes Of pearls are more frequent
now than for decade. Many persons
have been under the impression that
there was no money in England for
costly jewels, but the dealers say that
wealthy manufacturers from the prov
inces are still good customers. Amer
lean dealers are buying up jewels that
have been given up by the British
aristoeracy. Ropes of real pearls are
seldom worn nowadays except on
great occasions. Even the wealthiest
women hesitate to appear with neck
laces costing $4,000 or more, especial
~ when thieves operate every night in
the theater district. AS a rule, the
owners wear limitations of their costly
possessions.

Some old Ideas standing about

indeed a pathetic spectacle. Thin,

them, confessing his 12-months' ex-
perience.
"That's always the way with these

wrinkled Idea. II was born three

the backbone of human existence.

"Come!" it begged. "Come quickly |!

INGENUITY SHOWN IN
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Remarkable Escapes Made
BY Prisoners.

While II is difficult to imagine
more toilsome task than cutting
through thick masonry with pair of
scissors, as the two prisoners who es-
capped recently from Pentonville did,
there are cases on record of even less
likely tools being employed for sim
liar purpose, says the London Mail.
Five years ago all the convicts con-
fined In Marion county Jail, Indian
apolis, escaped through one of their
number managing to obtain a watch
makers saw, which was struggled to
him inside the cover of small book.
The bars of the cells were immensely
thick and made of specially tempered
steel, but this prisoner managed to re-
move their temper by wrapping round
them a cloth saturated in formalde-
hyde, the prison disinfectant. The
saving took many days, the marks be-
ing hidden by soap.
Alfred Thomas, an English burglar,
was employed in his cell at boxmaking.
He cut from his bench a long fiat piece
of iron, and fashioned it into a chisel.
A metal pin he took off the leg of his
table, replacing 1t with a wooden pin,
and initiating the metal nut with a
piece of brown bread.
Armed with pin, chisel, and the leg
of the table as mallet, he cut away the
wood around the lock Of his cell door,
opened it, and began to grope his way
to freedom. Reaching the jailer's room,
he found the keys, but came to door
which none of the keys would unlock.
He went back, found a knife, and
else yard to find great iron ratings
that could not be scaled. Undismayed,
he dug out under them, taking out
load Of stones which would take a
laborer a day to put back. He wrote
on the wall: "a pleasant night |"
Then he vanished.
The notorious criminal Vanden We
CARTE was confined in the condemned
cell, underground in Lille Jail. Some
how he melted down his pewter mug
and made two skeleton keys, having
first taken an impression of the lock
with bread pulp. He scaled the in
terror wall, nine feet high, climbed an
other wall by a waterspout, then
dropped Is feet with the aid of a
blanket taken from his cell. Breaking
into a tailor's shop, he exchanged his
prison uniform for a smart suit, helped
himself to money and cigars, and has
not since been heard Of.

Red Letter Days
By GERTRUDE WALTON

N MAX KING hurried into the
M busy office of Manning Bros.
~ "a Mercantile company for
promised interview with Walter
Manning, elder member of the firm,
During the ten minutes which the
office girl informed him that he must
wait, Max seized the opportunity to
closely scrutinize the details in the
office of the noted capitalists to find II
there be q clew here that contributed
to the success of the famous finan-
ciers. He had not long to look, for the
first thing that struck his attention
were the red-lettered words above the
calendar beside which were two
notices in bold, black type in neat
frames The notices were both strik-
ing. One read: "May Every Day in
Your New Year Calendar Be a Red
Letter Day When You Are Free From
Any Hindering Harness. Another
motto read: MAY the New Leaves
You Turn Over in the New Year New
er Be Blown Back by the Wind Of
Broken Resolutions"
During the interview Max called at
tention to the red-lettered words at
the top of the calendar headed "Red
Letter Days." under which were the
words, @Serve Day." The prominent
business man drew from his desk a
handful of papers as he said: you
see but one of the slogans. AS need
them new one is placed at the top
of the calendar. My wife tries the
same plan at home; when she has q
tendency to forget some task or obli-
cation, or wishes to improve her
physical or mental habits she places
one slogan in red letters that reads

"Voca Practice Day." ~Read an

With these Reason Reminders
the great man seized time to say. 1--WE
| try to patch the small tears that
cause the big rents in our plans and
success some times. They have helped
to remind US of the cause of some OF
our failures in the past"
Half an hour later as Max King
entered his own office he wrote on Il
| slip of paper and tackled it above his
calendar these words: RED Letter
Day." under which he wrote, ''Never

harnessed to electric generators, could
produce about $4,000 kilowatts of

are about seventy-five miles north of
San Francisco, are seven in number
and upon engineers reports, plans are
being made to construct generating
station with a capacity of $4,000 kilo-

TIME foregoing verses, once so popular and now
Il rarely quoted, are in themselves suggestive
of the changes time has wrought since they were

against Great Britain because of the Confederate
cruiser Alabama's destruction of Union shipping
were a sufficient cause for war, and 1000 guests
were present at New York reception to General
Grant Great Britain paid the United States
S15OOOOOO damages because of the Alabama; the
United States saved Great Britain in the World
war; today the peace and stability of the world
hangs on the friendship Of the two great English
speaking nations. General Grant was made
President by the North because he was the leader
who won the Civil war. Today we have reunited
country, cemented by the common service of the
Blue and Gray in the Spanish-Amercan and
World wars
twenty-five years ago today John Alexander
Dowie the American healer, was being mobbed in
London by medical students; today the music of
Dowie's Zion is heard over every American radio
Ten years ago today Germany agreed to pay
an indemnity to the United States for the 116
lives lost when the Lusitania was torpedoed, but
refused to apologize for the sinking of the liner
Today Germany is working out her redemption
