Burned as the weary wanderer far from

His eager longing to be there again!
But in my second mid strange scenes he

Far from tho place-far from the friends

Oft of good cheer and fireside comfort

SAFE BLOWERS ROB BANK

Hand Car Stolen from Santa

Sheriff Wilson received a tele-

day morning stating that yeggmen
visited the Farmers Bank at Dun
canville Saturday night and after
wrccking the vault and the safe with
in it, secured and escaped witt
about $4,000 in cash. The robbery
was a very bold one. Several distinct
explosions were necessary, some wit
| nesses state as many as eight, be-
fore the object of the workers was
accomplished. 1t Is believed that
three men were engaged in the af-
fair and that they made for Dallas
on a handcar as soon as they had Sc
cured the money
One man seems TO have attended
to the wrecking of the vault. Nitro
glycerine was used About o'clock
sunday morning the first explosion
was heard The night clerk at the
hotel, 100 feet distant, was reused
by the noise and ran out. He was
promptly covered with a revolver
and held until the robbery was done.

The telephone exchange is in the

tered the room and compelled the
lady TO remain quiet and to give no
alarm during the time of the blast
ing.
Placing the money in a sack. the
bills, gold and silver, the three men
went to the railway section tool
house, secured the handcar ana
made off toward Dallas. The cal
was abandoned near the Santa Fee
bridge over the Trinity river and was
found there Sunday, 1t is supposed
that the three men separated and

LIFE IN A PUEBLO VILLAGE

Three parallel lines of homes and a
church constitute the pueblo village.
Each series of homes rises in several
terraces, and the ascent to the top of
the first terrace is made by great
rough outside ladders. To climb to the
upper terraces, however, few stone
steps often do service. The original pur-
pose OF this type of architecture was
protection against enemies; for the first
story was without doors or windows,
and when the ladders were drawn up,
the pueblos were safe from the assault
OF their rudely armed savage .neighbors.
The walls are of stone laid in mud
and daubed over smooth with mud inside.
and frequently outside also. In construct
ing the roofs pine is used for the large
beams, and across these cedar poles are
laid close together. Next comes layer
of rushes and grass and the spiny leaves
of the yucca Then clay mixed with
broken bits of wheat straw is put on.
In a prolonged dry spell the roof is apt
to crack, and unless the cracks are
mended the rain soaks through and
trickles down on the floor, where it mud
dies up everything. Sheets of crystal

In PittSburG the epidemic of typhoid in
December. 1907, was so great that it Sc
riOusly affected the labor market. and
it is said to have cost that city Sl3.OO0O0,
in that year. Pittsburg gets its drinking
water from two rivers that converge on
it and drain the sewage of eighty-slX
cities upstream. 1t was not until after
the typhoid epidemic which cost the city
so many millions that Pittsburg woke
up and put in a filtration plant. The
sewage still comes down, but it is elm
mated from the water before Pittsburg-
ers drink it, The result is that the death
rate from typhoid has dropped about
four-fifths.

The Ohio River is popularly known as
"a thousand miles of typhoid" The ty-
phoid rate is high in Cincinnati, but the
sanitary engineers are beginning to clean
up that place also. So it is with other
cities along the great waterways. 1t was
not so long ago that Chicago dumped
all its sewage into Lake Michigan and
then used the water for drinking pur-
poses. Now the sewage flows out through
the drainage canal and the death rate
has gone down. The publication OF Chi
