Boost for Sinbad.

In speaking of Sinbad the Sail
or, the Saltwater Gazette, says,
among other things: 'Sinbad has
served a little over 10 years under
his life sentence. Under an act
of the Legislature, passed to make
the Younger brothers available for
discharge, life prisoner may be
discharged after service of 35
years and may be paroled under
the usual regulations on the basis
of such term. This law would
make Sinbad eligible for parole
after actual service, allowing for
good time, of % years, seven
months and eighteen days.
"Under this law it would be
about four years and half before
Sinbad is eligible for parole and
he would have to remain in the
State about Is years longer. As
he is now 81 years Of age it would
be hardship to require him to
comply with the terms of his SEN
tence. It would be human act
for the Board of Pardons to COM
mute his life sentence SO that he
might be discharged in the near
future and be free to visit his
former haunts and to exploit
the mysteries of his success in pro-
ducing the largest lemon known to
history and other things that he
has done in plant life while in pris-
on. To his efforts are due other
triumphs in plant life and there is
no donbt that reform has been ac-
complished in his case

To the Editor:
Can you give me the average

that the average bull TERROR weighs
one hundred pounds.
Y.
The editors pet dog weighs
nothing. He knows nothing about
English bull terriers and can find
no reliable data on the subject.
Boston bull terriers will average
one hundred pounds in weight but
when attached to the seat of a
mans trousers it might be easy to
imagine that they might weigh
more than that. Perhaps some
local resident is familiar with
English bull terriers and can fur
some definite, reliable information.
