From saratoff, whence communications

her child and began to gnaw her body
like a Wild beast. The neighbors hurried
up in time TO rescue the girl.
Another child. who asked its mother
for bread. was told: IT have only bread

old man eating bread which was half

A priest writes that life In his parish

They linger around the house OF their
teacher, who can give them nothing.
One notable result OF the famine Is
seen In the governments spirit stores.

There is one Of these gambling hells
within a stones throw Of Scotland Yard,
where high play is the rule, and 1t is
said by those who profess to know that

Owing to the fact that the place is
