HACkENSACK, Aug. 1S.-Anxious
widows n kittenish old maids here
are impaitently awaiting the return of
George c. Thompson, an advance
agent of matrimony, who played havoc
with their hearts on his previous visit.
George. who rather yearns toward
matrimonial alliances with widows of
means, has been operating recently in
Plainville, Conn, in spite of the un-
promising name the town bears, and
finally succeeded In running across the
range of vision of some unromantic

Thompson fitted into and out of Hack

many other widows and how many
old maids the captivating George be-
came enamored of in Hackensack no
one knows.
The general opinion is that no bet

A captain of an Atlantic liner told
me that once when he was crossing
the banks of Newfoundland he slowed
down for fog and presently suspected
that he was not far from ice. He was
blowing his whistle at regular inter
walls The nearest land was hundreds
Of miles away. He could not see as far
as the bow Of his own ship. He stared
and listened as he paced the bridge,
as all captains do under such circum
stances. Hearing what he supposed
to be the whistle of another ship close
aboard on the port side, he reversed
his engines and put the helm over to
avoid her. Hardly had he done this
when still another whistle sounded
over the starboard bow. He thought
then that he was between two other
steamers. His own was at stand.
still. but as often as he blew his
whistle theirs responded without going
ahead or astern. Were they also how,
to? 1t was unaccounta BILE till the fog
lifted, when instead of ships on both
sides Of him he found two towering
icebergs, blue and white and gllsten-
ing. the TANKS Of which had but echoed
the sound of his own whistle.-William

young men when they were taken
there from the city jail, where they
had spent the night. All three were
we'll and neatly dressed and none
showed any effects of the night spent
beyond the bars. None of them broke
down upon facing the Judge and none
asked for the privilege of making a
statement.
Parents and relatives of the three
did not seek clemency in their behalf.

young men knew full we'll they were
committing a crime and could stand
the punishment the same. The SEN

lightest that could be imposed for con

1t would have been possible for the
court to suspend sentence but Judge
Fox did not see fit upon the admission
of the guilt of all and the fact that
the robbery was a burglary deliber-
