BODY FLOATED IN
BURLINGTON HARBOR
But 1t Sank Before II Could Be Secured
by Man Who Went Out in Rowboat
"A Fairly Good Descrir
tion Was Secured.

Burlington Dec. l6.-A g-nesome spec:
tacle greeted Captain r. G. White and
his men on the steamer Ticonderoga as
the steamer swung up TO the wharf at
the foot of King street about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The boat had come
up to the dock, and, as the engines were
reversed to bring it alongside, the body
of man was seen floating about Is feet
from the bow.
As the engines were reversed the body
foated into the slip just north of the
wharf and towards the Shepard & Morse
dock. As soon as the steamer struck the
wharf, Pilot John Rushlow, with one of
the by-standers on the dock, jumped into
a rowboat and started across to the
body, which sank before it was reached
The body when seen was floating face
up. 1t was that of smooth.faced man
of medium height and light weight 1t
was not in a decomposed state. 1t is not
thought by those who saw it that the
body had been long in the water, for if
that had been the case il would not have
gone down after having beer. brought to
the surface by the stirring up of the

MORE GAINS MADE
BY ALLIES IN FRANCE
Khedive of Egypt Has Been
in Consultation in Vienna,
and 1t Is Reported He May
Lead Attack Against the
British in Egypt-Servia
Gains New Foe

Although the German naval raid on the
English coast towns overshadowed all
other developments for the time being
there were important occurrences in 9TH
er quarters to-day. The French official
statement says that some further prog
ress has been made by the allies in Bel
gium, that the German attacks in Alsace
and the Woevre district were repulsed
and that British warships again bonn
barded German positions on the Belgian
coast.
1t is reported at Constantinople that
tribes of northern Albania, who give al
legiance to no king, have declared war on
Servia. Their reported entrance into the
war is of particular significance because
of the uncertain conditions among the
Balkan nations, and the indications are
that those not already embroiled in the
war may join in il.
King Peter Of Servia has re-entered
Belgrade in triumph, and the Servian gem
eral staff states that not a single Aus
trian remains within the borders of the
country.
Premier Salandra Of Italy again stated
that the rightful position of his country
was one of watchful neutrality and the
position of the government is endorsed
by Parliament
The khedive of Egypt is said to have
gone to Vienna TO confer with the Off
cials Of the Austrian government The
khedive has been in Constantinople and
it is reported he would lead an army
against the British forces in Egypt.

this morning and Dicks voice calling
"Margie! Margiei' woke me out Of
sound sleep. 1 ran to the door and
was gathered into his arms.
Once again ! had all the thrill that
came to me when Dick first told me
he loved me and know that he, too,
had not gotten beyond the stage of
romance.
Dick, however, was very nervous
and he wanted me to hurry and dress
so that he could get down to the Of
flee. He was full of business scheme
to circumvent another schoolbook
publishing house which was trying to
get its books in a western school
where Dicks company had always
been solidly intrenched.
He walked up and down the floor
impatiently while combed my hair,
and at last while was putting the
finishing touches to my toilet he said:
Say, Madge, I'll go down and order
breakfast" and rushed out, although
called that l would not be minute
more.
1 got to the diningroom as quickly
as he did and acquiesced in the order
of baked apple, buckwheat cakes and
sausage.
Have you seen mother?" asked
Dick and before 1 could answer. he
said: eve had better go over there
to dinner tonight"
ooh, Dick, let's wait until tomor-
row. want you to see our rooms
and l thought we would have them
all to ourselves for one evening be-
fore anyone else came in"
"Margie, you are regular baby"
exclaimed Dick. 81 had forgotten all
about those wonderful rooms. Well
try and give them the proper house
warming but you had better not tell
the mater that I've arrived, as she
will feel hurt if I don't get over to
see her"

now he reached over and gave my
hand little squeeze and said: well,
so long, Madge. I'll try and be up
early tonight"
But" l expostulated, 81 thought
you would come up and see the
rooms before you went to the office"
Bother the rooms, they'll keep,
won't they?" he said with frown,
and then noticing how my face fell he
continued in gentle manner: Il
would not have time to really appre-
ciate them this morning. Wait until
tonight, dear, and well have reg
ular party-just you and l.
wonder if am wrong in my esti-
mate of Iife's values? Just now it
seems to me that Dick should be
more interested in our rooms than his
business. BY this ! mean, his bust
ness could wait an hour or two while
he spent that time with me.
l don't want to be a clog in the
wheels of Dicks business success,
neither do l want Dicks business to
always come first.
am quite sure if 1 were not mar
ried to Dick he would not have rush
ed off as impatiently.
Maybe it is because business is al
ways a pursuit and wife and home
is something accomplished is the rea-
son why the one holds mans inter-
est ofttimes to the exclusion of the
other
am beginning to think that wives
would be happier if they, too, had
something outside of husband and

The Ice and Snow
Fast Disappearing

Washington, March 1s-Modefately
cool weather over the districts from the
Mississippi river eastward during the
first half of the week prevented any
rapid breaking up of the ice on the
rivers and lakes of the eastern portions
of the country, but during the latter part
there was tendency to higher tenn
peratures and it began to break up and
move out more rapidly.
At the close of the week the ice had
largely disappeared from the main
streams of the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys, although at points in the upper
Missouri the ice remained solid, and in
some of the smaller streams of that re-
gion only small amounts disappeared
during the week In Lake Superior there
were but slight changes in the ice condi-
tions during the week. but in Lakes
Michigan and Huron the reductions were
considerable, while in the lower Lakes
much ice disappeared from the harbors
The upper portions of the streams of
New England are still heavily lee
covered and similar conditions exist in
the Hudson. although there the ice is be-
ginning to break up. The lower portions
of the streams of the Atlantic coast
south of the Hudson are generally open,
and the ice in the upper portions is slow
iy breaking up.
