Gone was his air of bravado, and In its place had come despondency. There was no suggestion of “the fox”—the sly, confident kidnaper who terrorized southern California for days. - ' I Rather one thought of a rabbit, cornered in a hollow tree. He was ’letful, impatient. A .month ago he. sneered. Today he whined. He admitted that waiting for the trial “has got on my nerves." He complained to jailers. "It’s ■fill a bunch of foolishness anyway,” he said, "because they'll hang me sure," i Authorities were afraid he would muster enough courage to try to end his own life. Special jailers guarded his cell. - 0 . ... Pre-Revival Service Hehl At U. B.

Ccmoc:/?aga cf H'ah O:dcr Saved Convict Extraordinary tales of adventure, death and escape from'ilie i'reucli Islands of exile off the Guiana coast are told by Blulr Niles, the first worn no to visit the prison Islands. "There was. for example,'' she writes "the convict stationed on one of the Devil's IsFnnd group, ..who, some months ago was missing at the five o’clock roll cull. At that hour thkeepers arc busy rounding up tin i men uud locking the correct number i into each dormitory for the night Number X was missing; he fulled to ; answer to his name. Search was made ,of the three islands. It revealed nothing. The »uii was sinking; in a few moments lhe tropical night would fall. Tlie cunoemen wwo commanded to ' launch the boats; far, far out a speck ’ was seen on the deserted ocean. The prison authorities focused their glasses , But they saw only a dark mass on the surface and above it the great spreading home of one of tho water buffalo ; which the administration Imports from French Indo-China. Only a dead wnI ter buffalo floating out to sea. They revoked the order to the cauoemen. ' Anyway, darkness had suddenly shut J down. , "But the prisoners knew that thdead water buffalo was one of their comrades, his body bound to a plank : and covered with banana leaves, while with arms and legs he swam desperately. The buffalo horns^—didn't n , buffalo die on the Islands only last I week? The horns were the escaping convict’s camouflage."—From the Forum. Mail Service Older Than Christian Era Communications were sent from ' town to town by more or less regular service in the reign of Cyrus', the ! great Persian conqueror, 600 years be- • fore the Christian era. Four centuries j later Queen Jezebel wrote letters and ' sent them throughout the Jewish klngi dom, to which she affixed the name :of King Ahab, and sealed tnem with the king's seal. In the Book of Esther mention la mode of sending letters by ’post throughout the royal provinces. About the beginning of the First century Augustus, the great Roman em ; peror, established a system of communication throughout the empire. Marco Polo, the Venetian traveler, reported that as long ago as 1280 China had no less than 10,000 post stations. The term post as applied to a system ot mail transportation had its origin in France In the Sixteenth century, where a general system of com- . munication was set up by the government.—Detroit News. Sowing Wild Oats To "sow wild oats’’ means to commit youthful excesses, to spend one’s youth in dissipation Subsequent reform is usually The expression. it is supposed, originated among the country people of England. The wild oats—a tall grass resembling; the cultivated oat and by some supposed to be its original progenitor—is a common weed Id grain fields. It was natural ihat z weed so common aid obnoxious should become the subject of comparison among the English farmers. At first "sowing wild oats" meant sowing worthless seed or seed which wontd produce a worthless crop. The transition to the figurative nu-aning was eaSy. He who wastes the precious days of his youthful prime in dissipation is sowing seeds which will grow up into obnoxious weeds.—Pathfinder Magazine. Practical Chemistry "Young gentlemen,” said the lee Hirer in chemistry, "coal exposed to the elements loses 10 per cent of its ■weight and power. Tiiis is due to the action of the alkali constituents of—” "But what, if there is a dog sleeping near tlie coal, professor?" I “None of your levity, young man. j I This is a serious matter.” “That's wbut dad thought when 72 , per cent of our coal pile disappeared during three nights of exposure. Then lie asked my advice as a student in chemistry, and I told him to buy a dog. He bought a dog, with large- | sized teeth, and now we don't lose 1 per cent of our coal a month. That's practical chemistry.’’ The Same Thing It was obvious that tlie waiter was frightened, and Hie manager of the restaurant laid a baud on his shoulder. "What's the matter?" he asked consolingly. The waiter cast an apprehensive gtanco over his shoulder. "Gent over by the window has ordered roast mutton for bis third ■ course." "Well, and what about it?” said the manager. “The mutton ain't off, Is n?" "Oh. no. sir.” replied the. waiter nervously. "But 'e chose roast venison Instead of fish for 'is second course, sir."—London Answers.

Get tlie Habit—Trade at Home, it Pays Stomach Gas Made Heart Action Poor Indigestion and Weak Kidneys Made Life Miserable. Now Well. There is good news for victims of indigestion, kidney pains and rheumatism in the recovery of health made by Jerry Nash, well-known farmer. Route 5, Elkhart, Ind. Ho tells about it, as follows: ‘‘For four years, my health has beer so poor that I should not have tried to work at all. Everything 1 tried to eat seemed to sour and cause intense pain. I would bloat so with gas that I felt I was smothering, and my heart, would act so irregular i • often fainted away. I was eonsti- i pated, bilious and dizzy. My back i ached fearfully, and between kidney disturbance and the smothering spells, sleep was almost impossible. I feel very grateful to Viuna for bringing me out of all this trouble. From the first bottle I have never had a smothering spell or poor heart action. My kidneys soon began working fine, the back-ache is all gone, and 1 am rid of constipation and biliousness. I am getting the best sleep I have .had for years, and, best of all, I am eating hearty meals without a trace of gas or indigestion. If anyone wants to know a real remedy for trou1 bles like I had, let them ask me and 1 will gladly tell them about Viuna.” Vlnna nets promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys.
