The policeman told Of the accident.
"Oh, he left home only twenty minutes
ago. I have told HIM to be careful and
I did not want him to get coal in the
yards, but what could we do? We had
to have fire. He has only been able to
get work four days since the election
last fall 1t has been hard and we have
six children. He used to work at the

He served his notice In the cold, legal

merits OF certain busts OF Mayor Mac
Swiney, now withdrawn from the field

In the case OF the most recent plaster

merely that they have not fired popular

there Is no sale for them at SO n throw.
Yet, not only plaster sinulacrum of
Terence MacSwiney but a mouthful of
promise went with every sale. as the
