Electric Alarm Fails.

The fact that this apparatus, having
been in use sixteen years, did not work,
although In this month several examina-
lions were made, leaves no doubt. that
the criminals had accomplices among
the highest officials of the Treasury, for
only thus can it be explained that the
electric current lost itself in the ground
instead of giving the alarm.
''It must be considered less remark
able. that the sixty-eight night watch
men did not hear anything, or did not
want to hear anything, because these
fire officials know only one care. to draw
their salaries on The first of the month.
II may. however, be also the fact that
their attention was not called 10 any
thing remarkable, for the machines used
by the criminals were perfectly noise
less Now, the Treasury vaults have
been robbed of their entire contents,
they are shown during the usual hours

hands before it reaches her chief It is
her function TO take the wear of detail

but hands to Mr.. Tarbell to read over.
Very little of his vast correspondence
dealing with the 100000 policy holders
and those who expect TO become policy
holders reaches Mr.. Tarbell first hand.
But if Miss Amendt would say little OF
herself, she had plenty 10 say about
women in business. especially III the life
Insurance business. 1t is her hobby.
Miss Amendt really believes that any
woman of pluck and a moderate amount
of intelligence can make herself indie
pendent if she takes up life insurance
1t may be added here that Miss Amendt
herself turns in more than S200,ee worth
of insurance to the Equitable every year.
This puts her in that favored class OF
agents who do more than 100000 a year,
the goal of every life insurance man
who seeks for policies.

nearly as much more from writing in
suranee policies outside OF business
hours-the only woman in the United
States who receives a regular salary
of $3.50 week.
From Miss Arendt the humblest call
er who really has business with the
Equitable will receive the same treat
ment as the star general agent of the
Equitable. This is part of Miss
Amendt's theory of success. It is Miss
Amendt's special province to attend TO
this agency business for Mr.. Tarbell.
She keeps in touch with everything ap-
pertaining to her department in the
United States and Canada. The gen
eral agents in all the large cities in
all that territory do their business
chiefly with her, ana all the smaller
men, of course, are under her dominion.
To the visitor having business with
the Equitable, Miss Anendt is all
smiles and cordiality. In moment
she grasps the meat of the business
and the rest is easy. One caller is
hardly out OF the way before another
caller is announced. 1t was the same
way during the Equitable fight No
one attracted more attention at the Sa-
voy than did Miss Amendt She was
everywhere in the corridors. button
holing the assembled guests with all
the ease of a man versed in just such
little matters and keeping always In
touch with the situation. Many agents
greeted her and discussed with her the
situation in heart-to-heart talk. II
was plain that she realized every COM
piexity But in her quiet way she did
much to help along the interests of
her side.

II may be noted that not all of the
All Fools Day fake originated with the
Beriiner Tdgebiatt's correspondent In
a recent novel by Alfred Henry Lewis.
an unprincipIed Russian nobIeuian, =
society figure in Washington, carries out
the plot to loot the treasury. He learns
that an old sewer runs close 10 the
vaults. He buys a fast yacht, employs
crooks from Mex York TO do the work.
and ingeniouslv devises rubber bags To
be blown up as wanted by the man who
has broken into the vaults from the
sewer. Each bag win carry twenty
pounds OF gold and will float down the
slow stream of the sewer to Its mouth
at the Potomac. There, in the dead OF
night, row boats will take the gold to
the yacht. The plot Is foiled only after
the vaults are broken into. Mr. Lewis

All these were facts and pitfalls for

least twenty submarine boats to the large
ships, waiting in the open sea. The
submarines were probably built in Eu-

they were fttesi up in the same manner

When Umpire Starts TIE Game

We've lost our appetite for pie. our
thirst for foany beer.
We've even ceased TO sing our love to
certain little dear;
Our face is pale and haggard, our foot
steps slow and lame.
For we're waiting for that dear old cry,
please, umpire, start the game"
Six months we've waited for the call,
and waited all in vain,
The coin the magnafes did not get was
counted as small gain;
Our memory lags behind our thoughts,
we've cen forgot our name,
But ali the world VIII smile once more
when the umpire starts the game.
You'll see us there in all our gilt, the
fair girl by our side;
Wen root and veil and whoop and roar,
and join the screaming tide;
Wen mix with prince and pauper. for all
mankind's s the same,
On that great annual holiday when the
umpire starts the game.
We have a friend named George Tebeau,
a cynic of the world.
To get a team of stellar light his thou
sands he has hurled,
He sits and waits, and all the time his
thoughts are still the same.
For no more dollars come to him till the
umpire starts the game.
Ten thousand fans all stand in line and
finger out their gold,
Ten thousand tickets in the Dox, and
every pasteboard sold;
Tebcau, ourselves, the fans, the girl, our
joyous rootings frame;
Were listening for the magic call. The
umpire starts the game.
