Foot Gordan, the gold brick swinder.
was today sentenced to ten years in San
Quentin. Gordan agreed to withdraw his
appeal and waive all other rights accorded
him by the law and in return the state

the latter will be tried it was decided to
proceed with the matter at once.
Gordan sold a gold brick to Banker Lit

of swindlers.
Andrew Root was to have been in court
this morning. but did not put in an ap-

Vatican desires to keep separate in the

for that fact than did the Irish squire who
lived 12 miles from lemon.
''lf his wings ever grow weary, it is but
to settle on the bosom of great billow

him amid the Kissing spindrift, the milky,
flying foam and tho broken sea lace which

stroke of tho small red foot and q beat of
the wonderful wing launch him off from
the jagged edge of his billow, and he fits
past us at 100 knots an hour, laughing
steam and canvas to scorn and steering
for some nameless crag in Labrador or
