The others. covering the driver
and the guard with shotguns, trans.

Guards at the mint, armed with
rifles and shotguns. opened fire on
the bandit car. The fire was re-
turned. one of the guards and the
chauffeur of the bank car being
seriously wounded.
The bandits stood on the curb
and laid down veritable barrage

the bank car, while the other five
grabbed the currency and trans
ferred 1t to their automobile.
A waitress in restaurant across
the street from the mint saw the
holaup and made frantic efforts to
call the police. Before she was
able to get headquarters, mint en-
ployes rushed to the door of the
building and began shooting with
sawed-off shotguns and repeating
rifles.
When the robbers appeared, Joe
Leykan, mint employe, pressed an
alarm button which sent thirty
heavily armed guards rushing to
windows and doors. Rifles and shot
guns roared as the government men
endeavored to drive off the bandits.
During the battle bundles of
money were broken up and coins
scattered along the sidewalk in
front of the mint.
The loot, in addition to $5 bills,
was composed OF new coined silver
and gold.

The three life boats that twenty
seven passengers and members OF
the crew of the 'ug Reliance took
when that vessel hit the rocks near
Lizard Island, on the north shore
Of Lake Superior Wednesday, were
found capsized today.
They were badly battered and
caked with ice.
The boats were picked up by a
rescue party aboard the tug Gray,
which set out for the islands short
ly after midnight. No clues as to
the whereabouts of the missing men
were found and 1t Is believed they
were drowned.
saulte Ste Marie, Mich, Dec. 49,
Twenty-seven passengers and mem
bers of the crew Of the tug Re-
lance, wrecked last Wednesday,
have lost their lives in the icy
waters of Lake Superior, mariners
here believed today. The men de-
clared IL is doubtful II the sailors
could have survived the snow storm
and gale that swept the lake yester-
day and last night. If they did find
shelter, they are without food, 1t is
said, and under present weather con-
dltions 1t is impossible for help to
reach them within two days.
Nine members of the crew re-
ported here late yesterday after a
desperate struggle through blind.
ing snow storm. Four of them have
been removed to a local hospital
suffering from exhaustion.
According to the story learned
from the survivors, the crew di-
vided into groups shortly after the
Reliance was wrecked and set out
in life boats. The survivors, under
the command of Chas. Currie, sec
ond engineer of Saulte Ste Marie,
took the lead and soon left the other
groups, that fingered near the Re-
lance.
After fighting zero weather and
storm waves the party landed on
the shore near Batchawana bay
where they built fire and recuper-
ated They then starteed weary
march, climbing many high icy
bluffs, crossing two rivers and wad
ing in snow up to their waists most
of the way.
Jack Harton and his wife, cooks
on the Reliance, who were members
Of the party, broke down when Mrs.
Harton lost her shoes. A fire was
built and Harton directed the men
to continue their journey, saying he
and hit wife would remain at the
fire and that it was no use for the
entire nine to perish. The men left
the Hartons. Four miles farther
they found lumber camp where
they received shelter. A party of
men from the camp rescued the
Hartons.
/ After spending two days at this
camp the party went to Agawa,
where the Agawa Central railroad
has a station.

BY DOROTHY DIX
W0s1d's Rlxhesa Paid Woman writes
They Never rake a TIP.


If women were only capable OF
learning anything from the expert
ence of others, marriage would be
like the fairy tale ending "and they
lived happily ever afterwards in
place of the scrapping match it SO
often is in real life,
For the women who have sailed the
dangerous sea of wedlock have chart
ed it and erected lighthouses and
beacon towers along its most danger
Gus reefs, and over its sunken shoals,
but they try vainly to pilot the young
bride, making her first voyage, out
into the safe channel. She scorns
their advice, and wants none of their
knowledge.
In reality, she does know the dan
gers of which they would warn her.
She could tell you that behind the
AS divorce was Mrs. AS extrava-
gance; that Mrs. B. simply drove Mr..
B. into hunting up an affinity by her
nagging; that Mr.. c. really wandered
away in search of something fit to
eat, and a comfortable place in which
to read his paper, for Mrs. c. kept her
house like a pig sty, and her food
D. paved the way for any vamp that
might come along by always looking
SO frowsy and auntidy.
But does the wreckage of all of
named Mary" and sally" and
Carrie and that started forth so
Eayly, and that wash in~such flotsam
and jetsam of broken hearts and
blasted hopes, teach her to steer a
wary course? Very seldom. These
other women may have lost their hus-
bands thru nagging, and petty tyranny
thru wastefulness, and slothfulness
and extravaganza, thru their lack of
personal attraction. by their tempers
and nerves. and lack of self-control,
but She feels sure that no such fate
will befau her.
She is certain that she possesses a
fascination for her husband tina. moth
ing she can do will ever break, and
that he will go en- loving her, and
admiring her. no mater whether she
is lovable, or admirable or not. As
get away with murder and not be
caught.
OF course, matrimonial history re-
peats itself, and the woman who won't
learn from the experience of others,
adds one more warning to women
about the danger of not turning out
good job as a wife, and not looking
out after a husband IL one doesn't
want him stolen. But her experience
also teaches nothing, so far as her
sisters are concerned
And so 1t goes all thru life. Women
see other women spelling their chill
dren, rearing up undisciplined sons
and daughters who will bring their
gray hairs in sorrow to the grave:
women who are bringing ruin on their
husbands by trying to keep up with
people better Off than themselves. and
they are not warned. They do the
same things themselves, and believe
that they can somehow escape the
consequences of their own folly.
They never do, but perhaps 1t is
ance that gives women the courage to
live.

BRYAN VS.. DARWIN

The objections of w J. Bryan to
the teaching Of evolution recalls the
acrimonious and futile disputes be-
tween the theolOg.ens of our fathers
times and thei- scientific -contempo-
raries.
The publication OF Darwin's 'ThM
Origin of Species" rocked the theoI
logicaI-as well as the scientific world.
Since theHrit has been realized that
few things compromise the church
more seriously or shake her authority
more deeply than attempts to settle
scientific questions by theological ar
guments.
1t is asserted, at times with great
vehemence. that scientific men have
repudiated Darwin's theory But
such is not the case Evc-arton Of
the earth geologically, and of its in
habitants. vegetable and animal. is
generally accepted as a fact. Some
OF Darwin's surmises are not accepted
but these are only details
In the past, both the friends Of the
church and others have been unfair.
The former have been intolerant to
honest doubts and fair questions. The
dlsinterested search for truth is one
form OF the search for God. whence

On the other hand scientists have
been unwilling to accord Christianity

sciences. For example: No physicist

The projected political union OF the
farmers and the labor unionistS OF
Kansas at first glance appears to be
not dissimilar from an effort to unite
oil and water. The two elements
NAV find common ground for political
action. but the outlook can hardly be
regarded as promising when consio-
Grafton is had for their wide olvers-
ence on economic questions One OF
the main points Of difference lies In
the fact that the labor unions want
higher wages and shorter hours, while
farmers want lower wages and longer
hours. Labor's economic program
makes for higher prices for every
thing the farmer buys.

And, indeed" writes one artist,
who spent a summer at Peterborough,
the day was quite long enough. I ex-
perienced that mental exhaustion that
meant something thought out thoroly.

not nearly as well financed as they
should be. 1t is to be hoped that the
