Discussing the iceberg question,
Prof. John Milne Of London writes
that the year he visited Newfoundland
one of these ice mountains had stuck
in the Narrows, which is the entrance
to st. Johns harbor. The capital Of
Newfoundland was bottled up. "a

one to interest us all
A young man of good parentage is
under suspicion of being the murderer
of a man found dead under peculiar
circumstances. The police In their
stupidity, seeking to unravel the mys-
terry and anxious to fasten the guilt
on some one, seize upon the boy as
their victim and bring to bear the en-
tire weight of their authority to con-
vict him.
He Is put through the third degree"
or "sweatbox" as 1t is often called
and after hours of this ordeal, it ut
ter desperation and abandon, confess
es to this crime of which he is inno-
cent.
The young mans wife, Annie JEFF
ferson," alone remains loyal. Seeking
to aid him she solicits the assistance
of his father, and. being refused. sets
herself to defeat the minions of the
law in their effort to miscarry justice.
With no other resources than a wom-
ans intuition, ingenuity and courage,
she combats them single-handed and
wins glorious fight.

lovely in the first inning but when the
Grays came to bat for the second time
peculiar things happened. Balls that
passed over batters heads were called
strikes. flies that hit the turf without
molestation were either declared caught

were invariably out. Panic reigned but

Bobby could be heard in a general
declaration OF you're out"

WOULD WIDEN
Holman STREET

W. A. Hill, who owns a hundred
feet of frontage on Holman street at
the corner of Clinton street, is head
ing a movement among property own
ers on the east side of the street, be-
tween Fayette and Douglas streets to
widen the sidewalks from ten feet, the
the board of public works.
The original idea was to widen the
sidewalks three feet on both sides of
the street and inside of the property
lines, but owing to some big buildings
erected on the west side this is not
practical now, and therefore Mr.. Hill
hopes to see the sidewalks on the east
side of the street widened at least.
The principal objection, it is thought.
would come from the property own
ers north of Russell street.
