Robbed Cars Detached.

Then the express and mail cars were
cut from the coaches and hauled ahead a
short distance, where the half completed
robbery was executed In the meantime
other members of the train crew as well
as express messengers and mail clerks
were brought to submission by the rob-
bers.
When the detached cars were brought
to standstill each Of the men set about
a certain task. one began gathering
registered mail and another to set the
charge Of explosive in the safe, while
others stood guard over the train crew
and the passenger coaches. The robber
having charge of the express car selected
the larger of the two safes for his at
tack. This one. it happened, contained
only the less valuable packages.
Sides of Car Blown Out.
When the charge was fired the ends
and sides of the car were Splintered and
the entire front of the safe blown away.
Just at this point In the hold-up the
switch engine steamed into sight and the
robbers took to their heels with only
what they could hastily grab as a reward
for their daring. 1t is believed that what
they got was of comparatively little
value.

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
CIergyman's Mistake Resulted In Civ
Ing Decided Surprise to DlsnI-
fled Archbishop.

One of the most amusing stories
which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache
tells in Nuts and Chestnuts," Is that
entitled, The Wrong Envelope" Mr..
M, missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking
him to dine, and the other from the
secretary of religious society, very
old friend, asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: "Mr M,
do you always answer your dinner in
vitations in the same way?"
II do not understand, your Grace"
The letter, which was then shown
to the missionary, ran thus: You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that
shall be on the high seas on the date
you name."-London Tit-Bits.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF TREES
Courts Have Not Been Slow to Take
Steps to Prevent Their Wanton
Destruction.

Various sums have been determined
by courts as the proper award for de-
struction of street trees, and some
have been accounted worth $1,000 or
$4,000. A good tree represents con-
siderable value to the abutting prop
perry and courts have readily recog-
nized 1t. The following is from the
Washington Herald.
THE New York court of appeals
has approved an award Of damages in
the sum of $500 in favor of a property
owner against a contracting company
for the destruction of each shade
tree abuttirg his property, with an ad-
ditional $1,000 for incidental damage
to his estate. This is probably the
highest value that has ever been set
upon the city shade trees and demon
strates that there is value to the
tree not to be computed by its timber
or It's fruit.
while the great value Of forests as
regards their timber product, as we'll
as their aid In the conservation of
pNNN NhOAOu6hAy CoSob-
lished, there is opportunity for more
lessons in the value of urban shade
trees. Communities nowadays are
taking great pride in their shade
trees, approaching the fact that their
shade adds to the comfort Of living,
especially in summer time, and thus
contributes to the value of homes and
of real estate in general. Here in
Washington these shade trees are one
of the city's assets, perhaps appre-
ciated more by the newcomer or visi-
tor than by the resident who has been
long accustomed to them. The trees
which we have should be carefully
conserved, and at every opportunity
more trees should be planted. The
shade trees of city streets should be
regarded as public institution, a fac.
tor in the public health and comfort,
to be sustained and developed as a
public institution"
