PREVENTED ROBBERY
Aged Watchman's Faithful Per.
fOrmaHce Of Duty.
ALMOST BEATEN TO DEATH

Richard Gray, Century Building In
New York Would Have Been Loot.
ed Of Untold Thousands.
New York, Oct. 11.-An aged
watchman's faithful performance of
duty even when death was threatened,
prevented robbery early Thursday
which If 1t had been successful. those
familiar with the case say, would have
caused a sensation as great as that
which followed the looting Of the Man.
haitian b. nix many years ago,
Richard G. Gray, Watchman of the
lofty Century building at "a Broad
way, near the center OF the financial
district, was the hero. He is now n
the hospital suffering from wounds
which he received In a desperate SIN
gle-handed fight against two robbers
who attacked him while he was max
ing his rounds on the nineteenth floor
Of the building after midnight.
Although SO years old. Gray made
most determined fight against his
assailants and It was not until he had
been battered until almost uncon-
sciousness that he was overcome.
Even then he refused to reveal to the
robbers the hiding place OF the Keys to
the hundreds of Golfers In the great
building.
In their desperation the robbers
chloroformed tne old man az he lay
bleeding on the floor and then began
4 systematic search OF the lower por-
ton OF the building for the missing
keys Apparently they were unsuc-
cesSful In their search, for whsn Gray
revived and staggered down the nine
teen flights Of stairs to the basement,
the men had disappeared.
Gray gave good description OF his
assailants.
A detective who had a talk with
Waterman Gray Is OF the opinion that
q clerk a long time employed in the
building was the instlgator OF the at
tempted robbery. and that his CON-
panion was an expert bank thief
III these men had gotten the keys
from the Waterman" said the dstec.
tive. they would have done a job
that would have made the Manhattan
bank robbery look like a cheap affair.
They were after one safe In the build.
ing and that was all they wanted.
They knew that the securities in that
safe were worth untold thousands and
they also knew that to attempt TO
force the door would ring burglar
alarms and that In an instant the
building would be surrounded by po.
lice"
As a result Of the attempted rob-
berry scores of extra detectives and
additional police were on guard In the
financial district Thursday. but no
trace Of the men could be found.

Czar as Composer of Music.

For the last Is months the czar has been virtually a prisoner in one of his own palaces and in the intervals of state work he has solaced himself with composing music and writing verse. His poetry is melodious and carefully polished and his music is melancholy and inspired by spirit of fatalism Some three years ago some of the czar's poems were published under the pseudonym of Olaf, with music by his cousin. the Grand Duke DAssia, but he has himself set some of his verses to music with a consider able amount of taste and real knowl edge of harmony. Nicholas II. has a fine collection of yiolins, of which he is very proud.

 help support the family and pay for
 his raising There should be some other sort of way for the boy to make |some money of his own, and you should see to it that he does make |some money and use it in such way |that it will grow all the time It is the growing of things that makes life

It is only few years since the rail- ways learned that cutting rates would not create business. The time has been when person, could go from Cincinnati to St. Louis for nothing, and get a meal thrown in. Now the roads have learned the lesson that it is just as easy for one of them to car ry for nothing as it is for another, and they put fair price on the service. This is the spirit that is coming over the farmer. The roads had to get together on some sort of a common sense basis and stick to 1t.
