THEIR DAY OF GLORY GONE
Writer Sees Pathos in Vehicles, Dis.
placed by the Victorious Automobile,
Meekly Awaiting Dissolution.

The garage stood In the heart Of the
city. That was not strange. A great
many garages stand in the heart of
great many cities. What was strange
was the building which stood oppo-
site the garage. This was a tumble
down, rambling edlfce. with large
and rambling back and front yard, and
In the yards were old carriages.
do not know II it was a junk shop
or repair shop, says a writer in the
Christian Science Monitor. | do know
that nowhere else could one see so
many equipages Of an ancient day.
One might sit In ones car and buy
gasoline and oil and while these COM
modities were being stored away one
might examine at leisure that motley
old fashioned crew huddled out In the
yards.
There is buggy-the kind Of bug
gy that wheels softly down country
lanes In the moonlight and stops cas-
lily as the driver allghts to let down
the bars. There is the remnant Of
what was once a smart. high-wheeled
yellow dog cart, used TO go bowling
down the fashionable avenue In the
fashionable hour. The hayrack-its
bright blue worn by now--has carried
many wholesome load of fragrant
hay in its day with barefooted boys
sprawling on the top of the load
Look at yonder queer old contrap-
ton 1t was shoe wagon and the
shoe dealer plodded along the rural
districts fitting every ones feet with
no trouble at all.
That decreplt vehicle was a hanson
cab, and very hobby one, too, in its
day-quite novelty In the commun-
lty, no doubt when II made Its first
appearance. Now II stands cheek by
jowl with a three-wheeled dump cart,
whose social standing was never any
thing but low
What a queer old crowd they are
these outworn, outgrown vehicles Of
another day. They give up their iron
and bolts TO the junkman quite will
ingly, for the streets no longer tempt
them to roll along their wide ways. No
another. newer, swifter method of
transportation has come inland the
old wagons in the old yard tremble
little as a huge motor truck roars vic
toriously by. They tremble little,
but it is only that they have waited so
long, standing out there in all wealth
ers, on three wheels or two. with one
shaft off and their paint in disrepair.
They tremble little. but wait meekly
until some one shall come and wheel
them away into oblivion.

cover his faculties before he died.
Father Dominic, his private chaplain,
and his brother. John MacSwiney,
were with him when the end came.
Father Dominic was at the prison all
night and did not leave until several
hours after MacSwiney breathed his
last.
John MacSwiney and the chaplain,
who had been waiting downstairs in
the prison, were told by prison Of

should so to the mayors bedside, as
they thought death was approaching.
The brother asked for the privilege
OF communicating with other rela-
tives who we're not present, but the
officials, it is said, refused him the
use of telephone.
After the prisoners death, his
brother and the chaplain were not
permitted TO leave Brixton prison I'M

FIRE IN COMPRESS.
Loss Thought To Be About $500, 600
Partly Insured.

Earle, Ark.-Fire in the cotton COM
press here caused a loss estimated at
between $4,000 and 100000, and
destroyed several thousand bales oil
cotton, the greater part Of which was
insured.
Insurance companies carrying fire
protection upon the staple estimated
the number OF bales at between $500
and $500. while officials of the com
press company claim that fully 4,4OO
bales we're burned N
The fire was first thought to be OF
incendiary origin and reports indi-
Gated that it was the work of night
riders. This theory, however, was
dispelled later by detailed reports re-
ceived and by investigations made by
insurance companies.
