 True We did not believe one word of her ranting, thinking the same merely the mutterings Of q betogged brain possessed by some toothless creature. who lived In a dark cave somewhere in France. and was sur rounded by Hazards and other creep ing ugly looking creatures for com pan!ons But as the year 1912 ad- vances and we are obliged 10 chronicle events such as are now taking place throughout the country. on water and land. it will take a pretty strong mind not 10 become superstitlous and to place some credencc in Mme de Thebes mouthings.
