Lady Saved Her Life.
Among the many narrow escapes and
marvellous presentations that were
crowded into the brief space of time
which was required to consume the
Spring Palace, scarcely one is more re-

lady says: go was standing in the gal

the people should not make bombs and

certificate Of probable cause in the case of
the People against l. n. Choynski, editor Of

here that the great missionary wrote his
books. OF course many interesting mem
