Where The Sea Disappears.

Philadelphia Bulletin.
A Philadelphia girl was recently
oyertaken and drowned by the in
coming tide on the west coast OF
France. A transplanted Breton said
of this fatality:
"Can you, who see your own tides
crawl in at the rate of ten feet or
so an hour, imagine tides racing like
wild white horses up the flat sands
at the rate Of half mile minute!
"The extraordinary fatness OF our
Breton coast gives us these phe-
nomenal tides. The sea does not
rise and fall. 1t appears and disap-
pears. You have vast and flat
plain of sand At set hour the sea
rushes in, white, wild, submerging
this vast plain. At set hour an un-
seen hand sucks back the waters
back thirty, forty, fifty miles-and
nothing is visible but the plain OF
pale sand again.
"Woe unto such as walk on this
desolate plain when the tide be-
gins to rise, for they must drown!
Nothing can save them"

A BLACK HAND" CASE.
Young Woman Beaten into 1nsensa'
bihty BY A Negro.

! ne SCdtS.
New York, September 25.-lrene
Grossman, a girl Of sixteen years,
was found dubbed into insenslblllty
in the hallway of her home at 542
west 142nd street early today. Inc al
tack was the elimination Of series
of nightly entries in the Grossman
ri;ste residence which were intend
ed to enforce, by "black hand meth
DDS, payments of money for 'mmu-
nifty from attack. Beginning Fri
day night a negro visited the house
nightly, appearing only 10 MISS
Grossman and escaping when fright
ened by her screams. Despite the
the lookout set for him by the faml-
" he succeeded today in reaching
Miss Grossman before she had a
chance to give warning.
The girls brother told the police
that his sister had started Tor an
early walk when she was attacked
He heard her scream and ran into the
hallway, where he found her uncon-
scious, but saw nothing OF the man.
Immediately after the clubbing the
police found two pictures III the
Grossman home with, their faces turn
ed to the wall and notes demanding
money written on the back. On the
back of photograph Of Mrs. Gross
man was written:
1--WE expect 5000 from you. B. r
c."
On the back of her daughters pct
ure was written in the SAME hand and;
1--WE expect $500 for you. B. F. C.
In the two previous visits to the
| house the burglar had stolen several
valuable pictures and more than S4oo
worth of silverware.
Miss Grossman's injuries are not
believed to be dangerous.
Credited To Mr. Johnson:
There was an attorney down IN
NV state" says Representative John
son of South Carolina, "who was
rough on witnesses, never hesltating
to give them severe 7aps whenever
thev failed to testify just about as he
Wi them to. One day he met
his match in testy young lady whom
he was examining. She had answered
his questions in a way anything but
satisfactory to him, and finally his
wra!h being up he said:
Young woman, there's enough OF
brass in your face to make a ilve-gal-
lor kettle.
And sap enough in your head to
fill it," quickly snapped the witness
This experience almost cured Mr.
Attorney of hard knocks at witnesses,
but he was always known after that
as sap-head."
