(ContlnuSd from pane 1.) itother of mine, a red, red rote 1 wear on toy heart today. £nd a tribute I to the days gone by and the old home far away, jynrnatwn that home. like an empty nest whose birdltags nave taken wing. But the love oX the old days still abides, a faithful and tender tiling. many loves a lifetime knows; so few that are worth the while: comb, was missing from his celt Ha I heavy the price we pay for some that the briefest time beguile.

broke Jbe teeth from the comb, got an of the notches of the look with a piece of soap, and then used a string or some crude Instrument and out the notches' until the comb 'fitted the lock perfectly. He then waited for. his -chance, unlocked the cell, leaving the lights burning, and then snapped the lock, locking the door behind him. Running to the rear of the upper tier of cells, he scaled an Iron wan to a west window and clbnbed along a water pipe to the north Window, out of sight front the turnkey. A year Or so ago Jarrett had sawed two bars from this window and attempted to get away, but Jailer Murdoch caught him In the act and, locked him in a single cell.

The opening, on being repaired, was covered with two heavy pieces of sheet iron bolted and riveted. Slither some confederate or pal had left a monkey wrenck out on the outside of the jail window within reach of Jarrett, or he had Sneaked a wrench from- some plumbers who were working in the jail last winter. The bolts were wrenched off with a monkey wrench. They could not have been removed by hand. Outside the Jail yard this morning horse tracks were discovered, which Indicates that some one bad a horse waiting for Jarrett when he left the Jan.

The other prisoners were out of their cells in the run-way, and seeing Jarrett escape, followed him out the opening. All minor prisoners are allowed to exercise in the run-way until nine o'clock. i Jarrett was convicted in the federal court last winter of holding up and robbing the Iron Mountain mail train near Lenepah, in the' spring of 1911, and sentenced to twenty-five years. He had not yet been taken to the penitentiary. It Is not a hard matter to get news outside world, according to -jailer Murdock.

as city prisoners and federal prisoners are kept in the same prison, and while they are not together it Would have been an easy matter tar Jarrett to have Induced a city to take a note to some of his ipale outside. Murdock has been a Jailer for years, in the old Indian Territory days, having been in charge of the federal jail at VInita. "Things are smuggled in in imany ways," he said. "On one occasion I found seven' Small thin steel saws in a banana, when some fruit iwas sent to a prisoner. Another time p.

prisoner's wife baked a cake and sent It to the Jail. I ran a knife through it and found a loaded revolver baked Inside the cake. It is almost Impossible to keep Buch things out of Jail." Hear "Natoma," Convention hall tonight Opening hour, yours is a love that has grown more dear with the shadow and shine of each passing year, And constant life's every mile my mother. Mother of mine, the rose I wear bloomed In this distant land (Intended by love, grown but to sell, plucked by a heedless hand: wear it in memory of other flowers that bloomed in a garden fair, 'The red, red roses that bloomed in the sun of your fostering care. And I wish today that I could go back to that happy yesterday.

To the dear farm home of my childish dreams and the blossom time of May, To the nig white house and the lilac blooms, to the twilight hour In Its dlmllght rooms, And your voice singing there my mother. Mother of mine, the old. old snogs you sang in the twilight How "many a time have they cheered the way when Life's skies were dark and dourl Lost are those days of my carefree youth, small time for dreams have In the streets and "strife of the market place while tbe busy years slip by. But always beyond the noise and strife a of home I see And from the garden of vanished youth pluck the rose' of memory; And my heart knows peace though my eyes grow dim as In fancy I hear the twilight hymn. And your voice In Its mother.

TERRQ (Continued from page 1.) overlapped by the high waves last night, earth was washed out of the a capping and for hours the situation offered practically no hope to the people who have labored so hard day and night to prevent a break. However, last night's battle counted for much and today the levee line along the state capitol's water front was Intact. Sunshine this morning brought renewed hope to the folks there. Efforts to strengthen the embankment were went to work shoveling dirt or filling sand bags and were more determined than ever to win the fight against the flood The terrific rain storm swept down the Mississippi river from the northern portion of Louisiana to the gulf.

At dozens of points up and down the river where levees were weak, thousands of citizens worked all night long in the driving rain to keep back waters rushing from the north.

The Junior department In our Sunday schools is composed of pupils between the ages of nine and twelve years inclusive; and It Is tremendously important that this department have a separate room. We fall more often because of our lack of a knowledge of the pupil' than for all other reasons.

I therefore suggest that we study FOLKS. Let us analyze the Junior Boy so that we will know him better. He Is Thirty Per Cent Fidget. Activity Is the key word for pupils In this department of tbe Sunday school and no two years of this period are alike. There are sixteen thousand things in a Junior boy to make him wiggle, and nothing to keep him still.

It is the teacher's Job to utilize the wiggle in a boy rather than try to crush it out of him. Give direction to him so that he will fidget in the right way. God made the boy fidgety, and it is a sin to try to crush it out of him. He is Thirty Per Cent Fight. This per cent of the Junior boy has caused no little trouble in this world, he is no respector of persons or things, but is ready for the fray upon tbe least provocation.

We ought to thank God for the fight that there is In this boy, the world needs fighters, fighters for the purity of the borne, fighters for civic righteousness, fighters for law nshtera- ia eounseis of the nations, and fighters against sin. It is therefore the duty and great opportunity of the Sunday school teacher to develop world fighters for God and humanity. Let us turn this per cent of the Junior boy to the glory of God. He la Forty Per Cent Fun. The Junior boy will have fun where, at any time, and without any regard to the surroundings.

He often causes oonsternation in the camps when we are least prepared for It Fathers, morthers, big sisters, day school teachers, Sunday school teachers, and everybody else have tried to mash the fun out of him, but they can't do tt One ofi the great sins against childhood is the consolous or''unconscious denial of tbe child's right to have fun. it Is, tbe-sublJnw -of" the Sunday school teacher to so (ami)-. herself as to chUdjuUuri Victor Herbert and his orchestra, numbering ih all nearly seventy per sons came into Muskogee at midnight last night instead of arriving as expected this morning. The great or chestra leader and his company expected to spend the night in Tulsa but were unable to find suitable hotel accomodations. When It was decided to come on to Muskogee It was found that there would be train until to day.

So a special train was chartered by Manager Radcliff and the orchestra reached Muskogee shortly after midnight over the K. T. Even with the Elks convention just closing the orchestra found comfortable accommodations here. Mr. Herbert and the soloists of the company have apartments at the Torson.

Fred Hildt of this city has been appointed one of the Oklahoma delegates to the National Republican league convention, which meets In Chicago Just before the national republican convention.

BIG STRIKE IN BALTIMORE Baltimore, May a result of the failure to settle the stevedores' strike, which has been In progress here for the last two weeks, for higher wages and recognition of the union, telegraphic orders were received here today from H.
