Tobin's Palm

~fOBIN and me, the two Of us,
went down to Coney one day,
for there was 81 between us,
- and Tobin had need Of distrac-

his sweetheart Of County Sligo, lost
since she started for America three
months before with 5000, her own saw

Inherited estate, a fine cottage and pig

Mahorner. Tobin advertised in the pa

So to Coney me and Tobin went,
thinking that turn at the chutes and
the smell of the popcorn might raise
the heart in his bosom. But Tobin
was hard headed man, and the sad
ness stuck in his skin. He ground his
teeth at the crying balloons, he cursed
the moving pictures. and, though he
would drink whenever asked, he scorn-
ed Punch and Judy and was for licking
the tintype men as they came.

st. Adams, Sept 24-The body of
George Frost of this city, who disap-
peared one week ago yesterday after
he had gone on a fishing trip to st,
Adams bay. was washed up on the
shore of the bay yesterday forenoon
and was found at 1890 o'clock tnus
probably clearing up a mystery which
has been troubling his relatives and
the authorities who have been search

On the Saturday following the day
he had started out fishing Frost
boat was found in the bay. IL was
rigdt side up and evidently had not
been tipped over, as it contained some
dressed fish, Frost's coat and other
things. Another fisherman reported
having seen Frost and having talked
with him while out on the water and
Frost reported having lost his gun

that he was leaning over the edge of
the boat looking for his weapon when
he lost his balance and pitched into
the water. One oar was missing.
The deceased leaves his wife and
two small children. He was about 40
years of age.
