Dan J. Joyce, Sanville, Va., is
so glad he escaped consumption and
regained his health, that he writes
about it for the benefit of others.
"I ha.i a cough which hung on for
two years when I began using
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound.
I kept oa until the cough finally
left me and I gained in weight from
113 to Iss pounds. In two year?
have grown stroni* and healthy, all
from the ot Folev's Honey and

j PREDECESSORS OF CAPT. LUX
}
I
b Colonel Baucsier, General Zurlinden
| and Others Have Escaped Frcm
Pritcnc in Germany.
About a dozen precedents for the
eacape of Captain Lux from hi 3 Ger
i man priaon can be found In the his
tory of the f ranco-German war, and
a large proportion cf the heroes of
, them lived to .become famous.
0 A notable case was that of General
'(then colonel) Satnaler, ultimately
j i commander-in-chief of the French
army, who was detained at Grandenr.,
In the extreme east of Prussia. It if.
said that he put his holster to bed in
stead of h!mt;elf, hid In an obscure
corner of the fortrem until nightfall, j
and then, having obtained t din- j
guise by the help of hia orderly, was
. | allowed to walk out of , the main
prison gate.
i He crossed the frontier to Poland
1 and returned to France byway of J
Austria and Italy.
General Zurlinden was another I'ris- J
oner who pot out of his prfr.cn at [
Slogan in Silesia, on Christmas eve. j
r He made his way In disguise through !
Benin, Frankfort and Karlsruhe to ;
Basel, a feast which was not difficult j
' for bitu, a*, being an Aleutian, he i
■ spoke German quite as well as his j
laiiors.
Thirdly, we may note the expert
■ . nnr:efc cf M. l'aul Deroulede, who efi- I
, caped from Breslau, and It Is piquant j
to recall thai that vehement anti- ;
Semite dlfi not disdain to disguise |
liimnelf as a Polish Jew. Ho was very ;
nearly betrayed by a peasant v.bom i
i be had bribed to guide him into 80-}
benila; but ho drew his knife with K
rerooiottn gesture and the peasant
changed his mind, with the result
! that M Deroulodc saw the final fights
of the war as a sublieutenant of Tur
ves.

An Indian Day.
In the dew-bespangled sunrise, while
the nlr was caressingly coed, we went
forth to ride along the river bank
ami beside fields of yellow mustard or
dun stubble; then, on our return to
the shadowed tents, a bath, breakfast,
and tho day's occupations; then again.
In the swift dusk of evening, when fur
tlvo Jackals rent the twilight stillness
with walling and demoniac laughter,
or the silver bark"" of littlo foxes
echoed over tho mist-veiled iic»-fields,
white under the moon, we gathered In
comfortable deck chairs In a great,
diiu aisle of the mango strove, while

Some Shakeapcart St^t'ttlco.
A Shakespearean enthusiast with
f much leisure timo otf hU hands and
d a regular mania for statistics has dis
covered that the plays of Shake
speare contain 100,007 linefe and 814,-
780 words. "Hamlet" is th ■> longest
pipy, with 5.9.10 line-", and ;:i*, "Com
edy of Errors" the shortest, with 1.777
lines. Altogether the plays contains
1,277 characters, of which 157 tare fe
males.
The longest part is that of Hamlet,
who has 11,610 words to deliver. The
n part with the longest word in it is
•r that of Costard in "Love's Labor's
i. Lost," who tells Moth thi\t he Is "not

"Now it's nil right, of course, I don't
