Partial exploration of the air shaft under the Morgan cell by prison offictals failed to reveal the evidence* of the tunnel to the satisfaction of those who coateod that the noted raider was allowed to pass out of the front gate of the big institution. The exploration* so far conducted, it Is asserted, fall to show that the tunnel under the Morgan cell had any outlet or that it extended for any considerable distance. The cell ts being torn down, together wtth others in that block, and Wardrm Thomas is preparing to convert that part of the prison into a "hall of ethiea" for the convicts.

"If* a burglar.” said Mary. ‘‘Never you mind. Shut up," Baid the burglar.

OPERATE ON VERY RAD BOY Removal of Piece of Bone From Skull Expected to Reform Philadelphia Child. Philadelphia.—An operation which the surgeons declare will make a good boy of eight-year-old Claire H. Jami son was performed here in the West Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital when a piece of bone about two inches long and one inch wide was removed I from the boy's skull. The child, it la stated, was well behaved when he first went to school three years ago. In his second year he wa* not quite so goad, and since then he has been a terror to his teach ers, parents and other children. An X-ray examination disclosed the fact that there was a d“pr**sion on his skull, probably the result of a fall or a blow, which the surgeons say caused the change in the boy's deportment.

ARE YOU JUST “CRANKING?” You have all seen at some time or other, a patient-looking woman with a crutch, whose tired-looking face, framed in gray, was pathetically listless-looking as she turned tile crank of a hand-organ that droned out tune after tune for the public, appreciative or otherwise. Have you noted the down-cast eye, that seemed to see nothing j beyound the under circle of the broad-brimmed hat that shaded her ; pathetic face; eyes that never seemed to twinkle, and mouth that never seemed to smile or relax, with the cherry strain of "’Way Down in Dixie," "The Arkansas Traveler," or to grow dim or tighten in sympathy witlt the notes, "Home. Sweet Home,” or "Just Break the News to Mother?" So countless!}- many times has she "ground” out the "tunes” that they fall on her deafened ears To her seemingly it is i only the "job” of simply grinding for the coins that must come to provide sustenance; only the turning of the crank—come what will. And yet, how many of us, grinding away in our daily work, are like this poor woman: We seem to have lost the note that keeps us in melody and sympathy with the world. We fall into the rut of simply "doing" our work; it becomes a mere routine drudgery; wp perform our duties unthinkingly — simply grinding, grinding, turning the crank to let the work" slip out and roll away. Conic weal, tome woe, ' we turn the crank and the machine runs on. Get into the spirit of the thing' Slip in a new tune now and then, and dance to it. if you can't gel out of the rut any other way. Show people you can hear (he music above the squeaking of your own crank; that you can see beyond the brim of your own hat and beyond the lineup that holds the coins for which you grind. Os course having sympathy and appreciation does not mean that one must keep his face in a continual motion, crying with those that cry, laughing with those that laugh, etc. Ruch « face would be something of a < ross between a moving picture show and a kaleidoscope, and the result would be a jumping Jack with nervous prostration Brit let the world know that you know what is "going on" Mr. and Mrs. D./F Leonard and iien, lames. Mr and Mrs John Bolinger and Eli Bolinger of Columbia City motored to Celina, Ohity Sunday where they were guests of tbc C. M | Meyers family.
