off" instead of please ring off, ;" call
again" instead of please call again,
and so on.
"The word please" Mr. Ulrich ex-
planned to reporter, was used in
our telephone business 100000 times a
day. Allowing half a second for its
utterance, that meant a daily waste OF
1875 hours. Why shouldn't all those
hours be saved, saved for sumo better

believe in few words. Wasted, super
fiuous words mean spoiled effects.
What, for instance, could have been
more telling, more effective, than the
note, containing not a single superfu-
GUS or wasted word, that man once
wrote to his physician?
This note ran:

me away and swore, and then the big
man took the diamonds.
Then Julia started to cry, and
Katie called to them and said she
didn't care whether they killed her or
not--she was going to the baby. The
big man told her not to, but the little
man said 1t would be all right.

and valued by Mr.. Crespi and his wife
at far more than their intrinsic worth.
When the Crespis returned from the
theater they found the nurse crying
Historically and little Pacifica trying
to comfort her. telling her that her
father and mother would be home
soon. The nurse and the two children
had been locked In a side room by
the burglars before they left. They
were liberated and then Mr.. Crespi
made out list of the stolen Jewels
and took 1t to police headquarters.
The best clew the police have to
work on is the wounded hand of one
of the men and they are searching
every man with bandaged hand.
Among the jewels stolen were two
gold watches, gold chain set with dia-
monds and sapphlres;, rings and a gold
necklace.

wedding gift to Mrs. Crespi from her
father, Jose Maria Castro, formerly
president of a Central American re-
public.
The little girls tears, when she saw
the men taking the rosary, followed a
fit Of passionate rage, during which
she flew at one of the men and bit
him on the hand so severely that she
drew blood But this man was the
one who, when he saw the childs
grief, told the other 1t would be a
shame to take the rosary, and handed
1t back to her.

Russian Church Architecture.

Nothing shows more clearly how
far from the main stream of Europe
the currents of Russian life have
flowed than the architecture OF the
Russian churches. The new church
OF the Redeemer, erected in memory
of the grandfather of the present car,
which was dedicated by the car in st.
Petersburg few weeks ago. is good
example OF the prevailing Russian
style. 1t is not Gothic, nor Greek, nor
Roman, nor yet Renaissance. The in
fiuences which have fixed the Russian
church architecture are Asiatic rather
than European, remarks the Youths
Companion. The predominating arches
are Indian rather than Roman, and
the domes, with their bullying sides,
come from Asia and the non-C Christian
races. Russia itself was In closer re-
lations with Asia than with Europe
till Peter the Great turned the face Of
the empire westward and began the
recreating Of semi-savage nation into
a European power by building his new
capital in close contact by sea with
the western world. But the choice of
the oriental type of architecture for so
splendid church as that recently ded.
icated proves that the influence of
Asia Is still strong.

TREASURES IN LONDON BANKS.
Sultan of Morocco Has $5,000,00c
Worth of Jewels There.

Abdul-Aziz, sultan of Morocco, Is
taking no chances of losing his per-
sonal jewelry in the course of one OF
the frequently recurring disturbances
in his country. Locked up in the
vaults of bank near Charing Cross,
London. the jewels, valued at $4,000,
000 are guarded night and day They
occupy space less than the size
of bushel basket and lie about thirty
feet below the level of the Strand
Not far away, in the same vault,
are several million pounds worth Of
unclaimed jewelry, some of which was
deposited there during the French
revolution. French people, fearful of
being robbed in the reign of terror,
secretly conveyed their possessions to
London and vast quantity has been
left uncalled for. The bank authorities
have failed in every effort to locate
the original owners heirs.
An offer of 81 100000 as a loan on
the sultan's jewelry has been made,
but the sultan is anxious to raise
much more than that.

No Work. No Food for Indians.

Indian Commissioners Leupp at.
tributes the little trouble among the
Utes to the fact that the Indians will
not work and thus gain the compen-
sation and the food which will support
them and their families Speaking of
the policy of the Indian office, Com
missioner Leupp says: This Office be.
lieves in applying the same rule that
; Is applied to poor and ignorant men of
any Iace We believe in finding work
for them and then in permitting them
to go hungry # they will not accept
the opportunity 10 make living" He
adds that II Is the practice of his de.
partment of the government to treat
the Indians kindly but to insist that
they shall cease to be paupers when
there is work at which they can earn
good wages practically at their doors"

or unreasonable in that principle7
