Tie Irish LANGUAGE.

1t sounds rrofane to ask whether
our ancient tongue is worth preserving.
Yes, it is, even as a spoken language,
and so well worth preserving that il
the effort be not made, and, with God'l
blessing, made successfully, we should
be held accountable for casting from us
what is. in the natural order, apart
from the national spirit. the noblest in.
heritance Of our race.
It is the misfortune Of many good
Irishmen to know nothing Of the Irish
language, however anxious about it,
and. through an untoward history, it
is the way with many others to care
but little for its fate, because the in
vader has branded it as an inferior
tongue. But it never happened that
any n competent to form an opinion
who knew Irish did not esteem it as q
noble vehicle OF human thought and
feeling. Gael.

Common sense tells a woman that when

Common sense tells a woman that in

Common sense applied to advertisements

about disease unless that woman is a

the claim would be morally culpable as a

who actually committed the robbery.
others operated miles away from the
scene. by destroying the telegraph and
telephone wires connecting with the
trolley company's main Office.
The men above named Were all in the
Office when the burglars made their APP
pearance. Each intruder was armed
with two revolvers and they took the
employees completely by surprise. 1t
was the work Of a few moments for the
robbers to pinion the workmen, who
were rolled over to one side of the room
with their faces to the wall. Ten min
utes later the safe had been cracked and
the gang disappeared.
The entire city detective force is on
the case, but the cracksmen left no clue.
The Receivers Story.
Frank Levan. the night receiver, one
of the men gagged and bound by the
robbers. told this story of his expe-
rience:
While l wa standing at the south.
ern door Of the Office next the stalled
cars, l heard footsteps in the rear.
Turning. l saw two men with masks on
their faces. They had two big revol.
vers and took me into the CONDUCTOR
room and tied my hands and feet with
wire and laid nj on the floor with my
face to the wall. l saw Whitehouse
was also being bound and gagged.
When we were laid on the floor q
man was detailed to guard each of us.
In q few minutes in came another VIC
tim, whom l think was Watson, q con-
ductor, and he went through the same
thing. Then two more came in and
were bound. The burglars worked
quietly. 1t only took them 10 minutes
to blow the safe.
1.-The guards frequently threatened to
shoot us if we made the least outcry or
motion. think they must have had a
wagon to take away the cash. because
it was very heavy and not easy to get
away with.
shortly after the money was taken
our guards left. Philip caves, the cleo
~trician, got himself loose and then
loosed Us. l tried to reach city hall
by wire, but the wires Of both tele-
phones had been cut and l had to run
in the pitch dark across country to the
Belmont pumping station. where l gave
the alarm and they telephoned in from
there shortly before 3 o'clock to the city
hall and informed the detectives"

TELL him to wait
Mrs. Golddecker waved aside the
maid, and, rising anxiously, looked ont
on upper Fifth avenue from the win
dow Of her just completed nineteenth
century palace. She was wondering
whether his man, for whom she had
sent, possessed at last the one secret
that could make her happy. She paused
for a moment. nerving herself inwardly
to encounter disappointment in case it
should ONE. and then, in full control
Of herself, she prepared to descend.
Leaving her boudoir, with its 300, 900
bedstead, she passed the diamond and
sapphire inlaid bathroom, with its gold
faucets glittering in the electric light,
and, stepping into the cut glass eleva-
tor, was whirled rapidly downward to
the first floor. Stepping lightly over the
$1,000, 600 rug in the reception hall
and brushing ab-tractedly against the
go, 900, 900 tapestries in the drawing

into the waiting room in the rear of the
