Diver Selzed BY Octopus.

A naval diver at Toulon was sud
denly attacked by a giant octopus
while under water In the harbor He
gave the hoisting signal and was
hauled to the surface, together with
the octopus. whose tentacles, said to
be 20 feet long, we're wrapped around
him. The diver was unconscious. The
octopus held fast to the diver until 1t
was stabbed to death 1t weighed l35
pounds, and the suckers on its tenta-
cles were as big as half-dollar pieces.

Brown had ceased to listen. He was
contemplating the gown worn by his
tenant--a dainty house dress of Mrs.
Browns. His wife had left much OF
her wardrobe at home, he knew. In

Browns most valuable rug, treasured
as very gold! He wondered what
might lie beyond his vision!
He suffered helplessly, trying to
express his dissatisfaction, but the
glare OF righteous indignation in his
tenants eyes rendered him inarticu-
late.
"All the rent for the first month is
already paid out" said the woman.
