same grade and command organized a syndi-
cate for the exploitation of the French evil
dence OF friendship for America, which, fol-

He, the said Holm, did designedly and
fraudulently obtain money from certain Wis

And as TO the enterprising Bagnall:
That he did knowingly assist in fraudu-

statue Of Liberty by acting as a lookout with
the duty of actually giving warning to the
man collecting the fees in case an officer were
approaching"

STREET TRAFFIC OF PARIS.

There are nearly half million horses and
motor vehicles of all kinds in Paris today. with
10000 hand carts and 5000 wheelbarrows. In
1909 65,870 accidents were caused in the Paris
streets by 81,S68 vehicles. These statistics are
contained IN report drawn up by M. Emile
Massard at the request of the Paris municipal
council on the incumberment of the Paris
streets. One of M. Massards calculations
shows that the street traffic of Paris, if sta
tionary, would occupy AS acres of the 2,O79

There is a popular tradition that
lightning will not kill any one who Is

a Yorkshire (Eng) village, who be-

seat of their trousers would be torn
