Crispi never makes a jest. 1t Is one Of
the defects Of his character that he has No
sense OF humor. He takes everything seri
ously. He is not social being, as would
be judged from what have said. His
taciturnity is such as to make him seem
morose, which he is very far from being,
but there must be some sympathy to call
him out.-W. j. StiiIman in Century.

HELD UP NEAR orTuMwA.
A Daring Robbery Committed ON n O. n
a q. Train On Iowa.

OTTuMwA, Ia, Jan. i5.-Probably
the most daring train robbery ever
committed In Iowa was pcrpetrated
early Saturday evening, almost under
the very eyes OF the authorities here.
IL was one Of the most consummate In
boldness and successful execution in
the annals Of train robbery. No.
4 mail express train on the
Chicago, burlington a. Quincy road,
was the train selected, and the
Adams Express company is the loser of
good sum of money, the exact amount
of which cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned. II is thought, however, TO be
more than $4,000. No. 4 Is the Bur-
lington through train from Denver
20 Chicago. It's express business is
largely local. but many times IL car
ries large sums of money. If this train
was rich in big amounts no one knew
1t, but the daring highwaymen evident
ly suspected so and almost In broad
daylight relieved the messenger OF all
the packages In the safe that looked
like money
When the train left Chillicothe Mes
the safe and his assistant was chatting
carelessly with Baggageman Ed
Wright. Suddenly the front door OF
the express car, which is usually locked.
was thrown open and two masked
men. each with two revolvcrs, called
on the men 10 throw up their hands.
While one man covered the trainmen
the other quickly bound and gagged
them and threw them in one corner.
Then they coolly rihed the safe, placed
the contents In a big sack and waited
ten minutes for the train 10 whistle for
the stop at the junction.
While waiting Postal Clerk John
Umphrcys came In from the mail car
and was treated like the rest OF his
fellows. When the train slaclsened its
speed at the junction the robbers
jumped off with their booty, crossing
the Des Moines river on the ice TO the
island, which has been the rendezvous
Of highwaymen and tough characters
from time immemorial.
The mail clerk released the express
messenger from his thongs, and when
the train pulled into the station at OF
tumwa he had unloosed all his COM
rades and the word was given quickly
20 the sheriff and police. Sheriff Stcdg-
bill, Chief OF Police Vanderveer and
one posse started out on an engine for
Chillicothe. Detective Jim Harrison,
who shot the bandit at Batavia two
weeks ago, headed another posse 70
trail the robbers IL possible Co their
hiding place. The robbers wore no
hats, but hoods with masks seemingly
attached. Both had brown overeoats
and one wore gray jeans trousers, while
the other had encascd his legs in over
allS.

USES OF WOOD
Pine Has Varied scope OF Usefulness In
Many Lands.

Pine Has Varied Scope OF Usefulness In
Many Lands.
Pine Is the wood most used on ac-
count Of its abundance. The timber of
the oak, which combines in itself the
essential elements OF strength and
durability, hardness and elasticity in
degree which no other tree can
boast, has been used as material for
shipbuilding since the time of King
Alfred. II is also employed in archi-
lecture, cabinet making, carving. mill
work cooperinsa and n thousand and
one other ways, while the bark is OF
great value as furnishing tan and
yielding bitter extract in continual
demand for medicinal purposes. The
timber OF the pine is also used In
house and ship carpentry. Common
turpentine is extracted from Il,
and much tar, pitch. resin and
lampback. Splinters OF the resin
Gus roots serve the Highlanders
instead OF candles. Fishermen make
ropes OF the inner bark. which the
kamschatdalcs and Laplanders steep
in water and utilize for making a
coarse kind OF bread The oil obtained
from the shoots Of the dwarf pine Is n
kind OF universal medicine among the
peasants of Hungary, while the soft
grained silver fir is in much requisi-
ton for thesounding boards of musical
instruments, and the Germans employ
1t almost exclusively in their vast toy
factories. In the manufacture OF lu-
eifer matches, and, above all, paper
pulp, thousands and tens OF thousands
OF acres OF pine forest are cut down
every year, and the timber. constituting
the chief material OF English and
American builders, is more used than
all other kinds Of wood put together.
