Raided Again.

The energetic and original young man
whose writings under the caption OF
"Olneyville" for the Sunday Journal have
wide circle of admiring readers, still in
sists on "reaping where he has not sowa."
In other words last Sundays Journal con
tanned some twenty or more items that
were taken from the Times In some
cases the language was slightly changed to
make, perhaps, the original authorship n
little more obscure. We are somewhat
surprised that the columns of the Times
should again be raided, especially after
the very polite notice served the Journal
correspondent in last Fridays paper The
man who fishes "posted" brook has no
excuse for his act and SO the Olneyville
newspaper man, who uses a basket rather
a note book when he goes after items, can
not say that the warning TO keep his hands
off our news was not plain and TO the
point Now let us see how much OF next

There is an old legend that runs
IN this wise: At creations dawn an
angel came down to earth, and
before return ng looked about for
something to carry back to heaven.
There were three things that at
tracted the attention of the white.
winged messenger-a bouquet of
sweet flowers that Had been gather
ed from one of earth's fair and
blooming gardens, the smile of
little baby that had been playing
with a sunbeam, and a mothers
love. These three the angel carried
away, but when it reached the
pearly gates of paradise the flowers
had withered-the baby's smile had
vanished. Only the mothers love
remained the same, and being found
as pure and eternal as the waters
that flowed by Gods throne, all the
angels that ranged above exclaimed
in unison: "There is nothing on
earth pure enough for heaven but
mothers lover' This was a tribute
containing sublime thought. And
through all the ages it has been
human experience that the angels
referred to i'll that legend were not
over extravagent in the message
which they passed out through the
open windows of the ''many man
sions" along the banks of the
''River Of Gold"

that the ankle is between the foot

GbRY'S POST OFFICE
To Be OPENED SOON
Arrival of Inspector May
Delay Opening of the
New Building.
FURNITURE IS NOW COMPLETE
Present Location in Knots Building
Will Be Abandoned Because
Is Too Small.

Postmaster John West Call states
now that he has pretty good line
on the date at which the postoffce will
move from its present location in the
Knoots building on Fifth avenue. He
states that it will be not later than
the 10th of this month. The furniture
for the building is now practically
completed and 1t will be moved into
the Fifth av enue store within the next
week
After the furniture is in, however. it
will have to be inspected by the gov
eminent inspector. After he is sent for
it may be a week or it may be two
weeks before he can arrive from Indi-
annapolis and this may delay the open
ing of the new office. The inspection
of the office equipment viii have to
be done on one Sunday, and on the fol-
lowing Sunday the office will be moved
so that there will not be a working
day when itw i'll be closed. The only
thing, therefore, that is likely to delay
the opening of the new office is the
on-arrival of the inspector when he
is sent for by Postmaster Call.

yesterday afternoon, and one of the OPP

the room she upset the gasoline stove
These stoves are the only means the
tenants of the Smith building have of
heating the building, and have been
used by the telephone company since
the cold spell has begun.
As soon as the stove tipped over en-
ployes rushed to the blazing mass and
hurled it through the window Be-
cause of the quick action there was no
danger at any time that the building
would be set on fire. The young wo-
men were frightened for while. how
ever. but the service on the exchange
was uninterrupted. Manager Sicclair
says that at no time was the re any
danger of setting the building on fire
as the re were plenty of men about the
building to handle the stove the minute
that it was tipped over.

At Gas last night when Broadway
was crowded with pedestrians nine
shots rang out in the air from po-

fire alarm in Gary. The police re-
sponded with the chemicals at at once,
and rushed to the scene of the blaze
in one of the buildings of the Faulke
nau Construction company. Here one
of the barns which had previously
been occupied by the Gary Teaming
and Transfer company, was ablaze and
burned entirely to the ground.
Six hundred people gathered around
the flaming structure to see the fire
and assist the police. 1t was thought
for time that it would be impossible
to save the various structures known
as Falkenau Inn, where the pioneers
in the construction of Gary lived and
boarded in the old days.
1t was soon determined that in a
blaze of that kind that the chemicals

With these they were able to control
the fire to such an extent that the

reduced to less than half of the nor

was discovered and the sixty pounds
