At the store in Snow Hill, a lit
tie town in Missouri, the loung
era were recounting their narrow
eaca|M>s,Nays the National Month-
ly. Uncle "Mitt" 'lowed he had
had one that bent any so far re-
lated, "You boys all remember
the hollow sycamore down here
by the creek," he began; "well, I
came all fired near getting trap
jied in the llm' of that tree the
other day. I was coining back
from a hunt over on Sugar Creek
and just as 1 got to this old tree
it began to rain. Thinks s'y to
myself that's u good place to get
in out of the rain, so 1 crawls in.
Well, I dim' up and up and up,
and finally 1 crawled out into
a holler liin', and what do you
think? The dad gasted lim' done
bent down and closed up the hole
where I had crawled in. Mebln*
you think 1 wasn't some scairt.
1 began to think of all the mean,
low down things I had ever done,
but it didn't, seem to do no kind
o' good. I didn't seem to get no
lighter, so the lim' would raise
up and let me out, and the only
other o|M*ning was a knot hole

about concluded that I was done
fer, when I happened to think
of the time when I voted the Re
publican ticket, about six years
ago, and I jist narcherly swivelled

Monroe county, Indiana, accord
ing to a census bureau announce-
ment. Since UK 10, when it was
six miles southeast of Columbus,
Ind., it has moved thirty-one
miles westward and seven tenths
of a mile northward.
The westward movement was
more than twice that of the l*!K)
l'.MK) decade. This acceleration
of the westward movement is at
tributed by census officials prin-
cipally to the growth of the
Pacific and southwestern states.
The geographical center of the
United States is in Northern
Kansas, so that the center of

5W) miles east of the geographic
center.
Township Makes Levy.
The township board met on
the first Monday in July ami
made an estimate of the ex|>ense
it would take for the year ending
June ltd, Mil'J, as follows
For road purjwises $;UKiti.iKI.
For bridges (700.00.
Wir culverts $1000,00.
For purchasing tools $100.00.
For salary of road supervisor*
$1140.00.
For salary of township officers
$T>t 10.00.
For the payment of outstand-
ing warrants $r>:W!i.27.
Making a total of $11,305.27
necessary to meet the ex|s>nses
of the township and liquidate the
outstanding indebtedness al-
ready against it.
breaking jail contended that in
asmach as he was acquitted of
the charge of burglary, he was
therefore not guilty of any of-
fense and was wrongfully a pris-
oner, L'nder this provision of the
Kansas statutes:
"If any person, lawfully im-
prisoned or detained in any coun-
ty jail, or other place of impris
onmcnt, or in the custody of any
Miles officer, upon any criminal charge,
I before conviction, for the viola
tion iif any penal statute, shall
| break such prison or custody
and escape therefrom, he shall,
iqion conviction, bo punished by
{confinement and hard labor for a
iterm not exceeding two years,
etc.
At the time we argued this
I ease in the Supreme Court of
Kansas. Kugene F. Ware was a
spectator, and afterwards wrote
a poetical rejxirt of tin- case,
which was published in the Nine-
teenth Kansas Reports, page 26.
The rejKirt follows:

This defendant while at large,
Was arrested on a charge
< >f burglarious intent
And direct to jail he went.
Hut he somehow felt misused,
And through prison walls he
oozed,
And in some unheard of shajie
He efhvted his escape.
Mark you now; again the law
On defendant placed its paw,
Like a hand of iron mail.
And resocked him into jail -
Which said jail, while so rorral-
rod,
He by sockago tenue held.
Then the court met and they
tried
I <owis up and down each side,
M On the good old fashioned plan,
Please the court, sir. what is
crime?
What is right and what is wrong?
Is our freedom but a song--
Or the subject of but a rhyme?
Arpient Brief of knmi for State:
When the State, tha- is to say,
We take the liberty away,
When the padlock and the hasp
I>eave one helpless in our grasp,
It's unlawful then that he
Even dreaiVM of liberty
Wicked dreams that may in time
Grow and rijien into crime,
Crime of dark and damning
shape;
Then if he perchance escape,
Evermore remorse will roll,
O'erhis shattered sin-kissed soul.
Please the court, sir, how can, we
Manage to get people free?
Reply By Appellant
Plerse the Court, sir, if it's sin
When does turpitude begin?
Opinion of tfc Court. Per Curiain
We don't make the law. We are
bound
To interpret it as found.
The defendant broke away
When arrested, he should stay.
This appeal can't be maintained
For the record does not show
Error in the court below.
And we nothing can infer,
I t the judgment be sustained^-
All the justices concur.
