How Thick is a Man,
How thick is a man? Who will believe
that a man twenty years old and ono hun
dred and fifteen pounds in weight, crawl
ed through a hole in a stone wall six by
eleven inches in size, twenty-five feet from
the ground and escaped down a rope?
These were the exact circumstances under
which Charles Crayton, sentenced on Fri
day to ene year’s imprisonment and SIOO
tine and costs on two indictments for as
sault and battery, escaped from the Venan
go county jail at 10 o’clock Monday night.
Cray together with John Murray, convict
ed of the same offense and sentenced at
the samo time, was eontiined in the north
west corner cell, second tier, tho one far
thest from the apartments of sheriff. Us
ing two case knives which had been cut in
to saws, he first cut through the ono and a
half inch upright iron har dividing tho
window, which is six inches wide. He,
then with a coal chisel, cut into the wall,
which is composed of soft freestone, until
he had relieved both ends of a flat cross
bar of half-inch iron, through a hole in
which the upright has passed. Just below
the next cross bar above, he cut into the
upright to the depth of three-sixteenths of
an inch, and, inserting ono end of a long
bed-slat, he and his partner, by applying
their united strength to the slat, brokey off
the bar where the niche had been made.
This left a space six inches wide and elev
en inches high. Previously he and his
pnrtner had torn their blanket into nar
row strips and platted quite a neat rope
therefrom. Securing the rope to what was
left of the upright rod, he thoroughly soap
ed the sides of the opening, soaped his
own nakod body and ■wriggled through
this hole, climbed down the rope, dressed
himself after his clothes were dawn by bis
accomplice, anti escaped through a storm
rain raging the time. His compaion being
of larger frame did not attempt the hope
less task of getting through the window,
but went quietly to sleep. There found
in cell two knives, one cold chisel, ono
pening hammer and two bags converted
into suckH from the alcoves of a shirt, con
nected by a cord of sufficient length to
bring them, if hung over tho should, down
to his hips, and which may have been used
to protect his sides as he edged his way
through the aperture, althouh thisisscrce
ly probably- These were filled with soft
bread. Underneath the window were
picked up a piece of meat, wrapped in a
scrap of newspaper, an old clay pipe, and a
string about twenty-five feet in length,
compossed partly of strips from his shirt,
and partly of hempen cord.
Children In Heaven.
Heaven in the children’s home. “Of
such is the kingdom of heaven.” They
go out of thin world by millions every year.
A mighty procession of redeemed little
ones is ever moving onward into eternity,
as though borne along by a river of team.
They leave behind them tear-dimed eyes,
and hungry hearts, and empty arms, and
silent chambers, and desolate homes.
They come to us like messengers of God,
with musical prattle, and winsome help
lessness, and lie upon onr hearts for a
while, until every tendril of affection has
twined around them and bound them to
us; then they are tom away and taken
from ns. This experience is as old as the
race. From the beginning, God began to
draw parents’ hearts, and to people and
brighten heavenby taking little children
to Himself. No man can number the vast
multitude of little one God has gathered
out of all ages and generations. What a
beautiful throng 1 Even heaven would

Christian parents have a rich inheritance
in the memories of their sainted children,
and in the living treasures laid up in heav
en. “Years ago,” says Dr. W. M. Taylor;,
“when I was leaving my Liverpool home
t) Infill an engagement in the city of Glas
gow, the last sight on which my eyes rest
ed was that of my little daughter at the
grandmother’s arms. As the carriage
drove me away, she waved her hand in
fond and laughing glee, and many a time
during my railway ride the pleasant vision
came up before my memory and filled my
heart with joy. I never saw her again.
Tho next morning a telegram stunned me
with the tidings of her death; and now
that earthly glimpse of he has been ideal
ized and glorified, and it seems to me as if
God had set her in the window of heavert
to beckon me up to my eternal homo. I
would not give that memory for all the
gold of earth. I would not part with the
inspiration that it stirs within me for all
that the world could bestow." Even so
has God made the everlasting homo more
attractive to all the bereaved whose chil
dren have gone up into this its beautiful
courts. The window's of our Father’s
house are full of bright child faces waiting
for the coming of the loved ones from
earth.
Bio words. —Big words are great favor

conceptions. They are sometimes em
ployed by men of mind, when they wish
to use language that may best conceal their
thoughts. With few exceptions, however
illiterate and uneducated people use more
“big words,” than people of thorouh edu
cation. It is a very common, but egregri
ous, mistake to suppose tbe long words
are more genteel than tbe abort ones—just
as the same sort of people imagine high
colors and flashy Agues improve the style
of dress. These are the kind of folks who
don’t begin, but always “commence.”
They don’t go to bed, but mysteriously
“retire.” They don’t eat and drink, but
“partake of refreshments.” They are nev

instead of dying at last they “disease.”

X Sketch for Pilferers.
Yesterday a fruit-dealer on market street
says the Louisville Courier-Journal, in
censed by the liberties taken by the loafers
with his wares displayed at the door, plac
ed a half gallon of Cayenne pepper in a
basket labeled it “New Zealand Cherries,"
and hung it in a conspicuous place in front
of his stand. In a few minutes the next
door merchant sauntered up, inquired
how trade was, picked up a New Zealand
cherry, placed it in his mouth, and sud
denly left to attend to a customer. The
Rev. Dr. Bowly rounded to observed that
the yellow fever news from Memphis was
not very oncouraging this morning, and—
ah! it had been years since ho had a
New Zealand cherry; whereupon he ate one
remarked that it was superb, wiped his
weeping eyes on his coatsleeve, supposed
that New Zealand was getting warmer ev
ery year, wished the dealer good-morning
and departed, lamenting the growing
weakness of his eyes in tho sunlight.
A chronicle deadbeat then came up, took
a mouthful of cherries, spluttered them*
out, with an imprecation, all over the fruit
stuffed a pear, a banana and a bunch of
grapes into his mouth to take out the taste
informed the dealer that he would have
him prosecuted for keeping green frnit,
and went down the street to the pump. A
lady with two children next appeared stop
ped to admire the cherries, asked if she
mighn’t just taste them—she never had
seen any before—supplied the children,
and walked away—wallcod away with a
faco fiery with scorn and anger, while the
children set up a howl that brought all
the doors and windows and drove all the
policemen off the street.
Thus the fun wont on all the morning..
The fruit-dealer never laughed so much in
all his life. The occupants of tho adjacent
and opposite stores and a shoal of small
boys soon learned what was up, and watch
ed and joined in a ringing roar as each
new victim triod the cherries. Finally, a
solemn looking countryman lounged up,,
inquired tho price of them ’ere New Zeal
and cherries, invested in a pint, put one
in his mouth, took it out again, gave the
fruit-dealer a lingering look of mild re
proach, pulled off his coat and “waded in
to” him. When he left, the fruitman with
tendencies to practical jokes, had a blue
eye, a red nose, a purple face, a sprained
wrist and several bushels of fruit scatter
ed around among the small boys, while
the same ringing roar of laughter was go
ing up from the lookers-on.

Detroit Free Press: Out on Michigan av
enue a man near 70 years of age started a
small confectionery store some months
since, and tho other day sent word to his.
three creditors up-town that he had failed
and desired to compromise. The trio
went down to tho store, which they found
in full blast, and the four sat clown for a
talk. “You see, shentlemens, Ido no
peesness, und my family eats up all der
brofits.” explained the tradesman, by way
of excuse.
“You owe me twelve dollars,” replied
ono of the creditors, “and each of these
otlers’fifteen dollars apiece. That makes
forty-two dollars.”
“Shust I'orty-two,” sighed the old man.
“Now, then, how much money have yon
got on hand.”
“Shust zixty tollar, und no more.”
“Very well, as you have had bad luck we
will settle with you for one hundred and
twenty cents on the dollar, and you can
go on as before.”
“Yaw, I will do dot, shentlemens, und I
am much obliged for such kind treat
ment.”
He got out his money, the 20 per cen
tum was added to the claims and paid,
and before the creditors retired he insist
ed on treating them to ice oream. They
had been gone an hour before the old man
rushed out and halted a policeman and
said: “If I fails in peesness und bays one
hundrod und twenty cents on der dollar,,
vhat does it men?”
“It means that you don’t understand
how to fail,” w-as the reply.
“Is dot possible?” Whispered the old
man.
“I should say so.”
“Vhell, I go pack to der shoe peesness
again. Vhen I fails in dot peesness I
makes everything. Vhen I fails dis peca
ness I pays more as I owes.”
How to (Jet Along.
Don’t stop to tell stories in buisness
hours.
If you have a place of business be found
there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
Never fool in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, and also
promptness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of.
Do not kick everyone in your path.
More miles can be made in one day by
going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford because it is
fashionable.
Learn to say no. No necessity of snap
ping it out dog-fashion, but say it firmly
and respectfully...
Use your brains rather than those of
others.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
“Sit” and “set.”— Many of the agricul
tural journals are sorely troubled to know
whether a hen sits or sets. If some editor
of dignity would set a hen on the nest,
and the little editors would let her sit, it
would be well for the world. Now a man
or woman either can set a hen, although
they cannot sit her; neither can they set
on her, although the old hen might sit on
them by the hour if they would allow it.

he could set the basin on it, and neither

on it. But it he should set on the afore
said tail, or his foot there, the gramma
