Where IA Tutt's Island?.

a queerlstory is reported from the;
Pacific coast. A man named Tutt Is;
said to have bought an island in the
San Juan group of the coast Of Brit:
ish Columbia. When Tut went ont;
to get his island 1t wasn't there
Tut looked all around for 1t. BE.
couldn't even find the hole where It:
stood. It seems It was pretty good.
sized island and Tut feels positive It:
couldn't have been stolen after dark
by any ordinary sneak thief. z..
When Tut went to the man who:
sold the alleged island to him, the
man said the island was there the;
last time he saw 1t, and then he:
suggested 1t must have been swal-$
lowed up at the time OF the Sam
Francisco earthquake. 5sz:s.
Tut Is provoked, Of course. he:
doesn't swallow the story with half
the grace that the Pacific is said to-
have swallowed his island. But what.
can unhappy T1tt DO? He can e1--zz
press his feelings IN profane terms,
Of course, but that won't help mat
tres. II he swears about It every:
body will say, ''Tut, TUT" and that
will be the end Of 1t.-CleVelald
