FINGER PRINTS TOLD.
Escaped British Murderer Found in
U. S. Prison.
A despatch from Washington says:
s A curious result of the recent adoption
by the United Slates array of the sys-
tern of identification by finger prints
has just been reported to the War De-
partment, in the discovery in the person
of a soldier at Fort Leavenworth of a
British murderer, for whom the Scot-
land Yard authorities have long been
looking. Tho man was a prisoner in the
United States penitentiary. serving a
five-year sentence for a military crime.
In prison he was well behaved and
liked, but when the warden, following
the general order to take the finger
print records of all soldiers, attempted
to secure an impression of this man's
digits he met with violent resistance,
and was knocked down and roughly
handled. Suspecting that this reels -
lance was based upon the man's pro-
vious knowledge of the use to which
these tenger prints might be put, and
that his record was bud, the warden
sent copies of the prints to the pollee
aulhgr'ities in a number of cities. With-
in a comparatively short time Scotland
Yard reported that the man had com-
mitted an atrocious murder in aforta;
that he had been sentenced to life im-
prisonment, and had escaped to Amer-
ica.

Man Useless for Emergencies Between

At some time between the age of 1'5

judgment In a moment of crisis. Tho
loss is only temporary, marking a psy-
chological change between the meridian
and the commencement of age.
Dr. Dnbbos, In Argus, contributes the
above explanation of the Grantham
(England) disaster, citing the parallel
case at Stroud some years ago. Ile says
he has collected data to substantiate
his point, end asks the ages of the Salis-
bury and Grantham drivers to see whe-
ther they (it in with his theory. Ile
Is inclined to rule that no man between
53 and 62 should be allowed to drive
an express engine, as not 'roaster tf
that unclouded will which makes the
greatest emergency his obedient slave."
Grave errors of commanders in the
field and of captains at sea he explains
in the same wny, hinting et a recent
national experience - apparently ;he

similar signs of weakness, irresolution,
suspicion and irritability at a certain
time of middle life. A little older, and
they again become reliable, tractable,
end wiser In counsel. With rest and
patience all comes right again.

A story which was widely circulated
at the time of the present Czar's coron-

Field, his Majesty pard a visit to lite
hospital to which the injured had been

When the King of Italy a short time

first at the coin and then at her guest.
"Why," she exclaimed, "you are like the
Ring." "So people say," smilingly ans-
wered his Majesty. "But," the woman
went on, atter another comparison with

'fetor Emmanuel; "the King Is a much
better looking reran than i am."

THE TORN DRESS.
In Paris, where Lenpold is known
even to the street urchins, such a nibs -
take would have been less likely than
in his own kingdom. Not long ago, !t
is saki, a Paris gamin, seeing the tall
figure of the Ring approaching, walked
up to hint and, without the slightest
fear, greeted him with, "Ohe, Leopold!"
-a greeting which so delighted the un-
conventional monarch that he presented
the lad with a five -franc piece.
