There appears to be a growing and
very commendable disposition on the
part OF the Republican press of the

at one another. and at party leaders,
and to hand out a few to the ancient

time ago. There is always enough

A Shaft That illustrates the Begir

A Shaft That illustrates the Begin
nings of Greek Art.
There is joy in the Graeco-Roman
department of the British museum,
says the Philadelphia Record. Thanks
to the marquis Of Sligo. there will
o o be added to the archaic Greek
collections there the entire shaft of
one of the columns of the famous
Treasury of Aureus, at Mycenae. The
building Of which the column once
formed a part was not a treasury, but
a tomb-one of the beehive-shaped
tombs which are characteristic of the
Mycenaean age in Greece. the twelfth
century, or so. before our era. the
age about which Homer. who lived 800
or 400 years later, wrote to the Had
and Odyssey.
The column was dug up in frag-
ments, under the eye of the second
marquis of Sligo in 1912 and has since
been kept at Westport, Ireland. Re
cent measurements at Mycenae have
served to establish the authenticity
of the relic.
The column, which exemplifes the
earliest known period of Greek art, is
decorated in a highly effective manner
with zigzag ornaments. alternately
plain and carved, in the dark gray
alabaster Of which much of the rich
facade of the tomb was composed.

THIEF" PROVED AN ALlsl.
AdroltIy Turned Tables On Surprised
Woman and Saved His Dignity.

Adroltly Turned Tables on Surprised
Woman and Saved His Dignity.
Woman's inability to identify an as
sailant was curiously proved recently,
says the New York World, when a vic
tim of circumstances that were en-
b%arrassing, not to say. discriminating,
contrived by remarkable presence of
mind and no less wonderful agility to
neatly eXtricate himself from what
might have been the deadly conse-
quences of an innocent adventure.
It was in a Harlem apartment
house. The young man occupies an
apartment on one Of the upper floors.
While gazing from his window the
idea flashed through his brain that in
case Of fire there might be some diff
iculty in reaching the ground. He
concluded that over the roof would be
the only feasible means, and promptly
started to explore. B%uttoning his coat
and pulling his hat down over his
eyes, to avoid the glare. he stepped
out on the fire escape and began to
mount.
In passing a window a story or two
above he was paraiyzed to behold a
woman in deshabille standing in the
window.
She was no less startled than he.
Shouting "Thievesl Murder! Policei
Fret" she dashed into the hall. rang
every bell within reach and put the
house in an uproar.
The discounted gentleman on the
fire escape almost fell down the mar
row iron ladder into his own apart
ment, threw off his hat and coat,
rushed into the corridor and FASTENED
upstairs, three at a time, to help the
screaming lady above.
He was one of the first on the
scene; heard her fearful story of the
burglar who had been about TO climb
in her window, and breathing dire
threatenings made the most thorough
and vain-search for that bold, bad
man.
She thought him so sympathetic.
The alibi was complete.
