Two young ladies were imprisoned for
half day on the dome of the st. Louis
court house last week. They had gone

could not open the door leading to the
stairway. After six long hours of anx.

heroine of her favorite novel. She
wrote few words on paper, clamped the

Cyprus is likely to prove an expen'
sive failure. Three of the largest firms
which started business in the Isle of
Venus Immediately after its annexation
have withdrawn, though unable to find
purchaser for their concerns, built at
heavy expense. Trade is no better then

them with fair promises, left them in the
