There are several criminals in the United States of whom it has been said that no jail is strong enough to hold them. Like all sweeping assertions, this statement is prob ably an exaggeration, but it must be ad mi tied that the recorded cases of success ful jailbreaking have been so numerous and so skillfully planned and executed as to astound the usually self confident prison officials, some of whom on rare occasions seem prepared to admit that they have not secured a monopoly of the intelligence and shrewdness of the world. *'ax«, papar, fancy goads, ate.

The plan of Booth and McCarthy in taking Advantage of the presence of visitors to carry out their scheme is not a new one, but their device in effecting an entrance to the rotunda with a dollhouse which a prisoner hiul made for his children was decidedly unique, for it was productive of no suspiciou of coining trouble until the scoundrels at V , tacked the officers.

These objections could easily be overcome in the planning of the house, but would involve considerable extra expense, for an additional chimney would be re quired sod extra space for the stairway and passage to ths dining room. Since it Is a question of cost, we find that thlfe ar rangement hers shown is one of the best for the amount o f money to be expended. In the second story we have two large chambers, one small bedroom, bathroom and hall and four closets, which are Indis pensable to comfort and convenience.
