The "All.Mlneo Trick.

A wandering Straightforward mar
was entertaining some loungers with
an exhibition of tricks. After showing
a goodly number of them he said: But
I have one good trick that l call the
All-Mine trick"
Of course they all wanted to see
that, SO he instructed a goodly num-
Der of them to give him a dollar, after
having marked it and carefully noted
the date. About a dozen of the by
ISLANDERS did SO, and he took them all,
shook them up, then showed each man
another dollar than the one he had

Each man, of course, said NO." and

Cripple Dives, Saves Boy.

William Murray, a cripple of 1921
Second avenue, was hobbling along
the East river front at New York,
when at Fffty-fourth street he heard
boys crying for help. One of the boys
had fallen from the stringpiece and
was f%ioundering in the water.
Removing his coat, the cripple dived
in after the boy. He seized him and
towed him to a pier, but was unable
to climb. Policeman Nealy threw Muir
ray a rope and he tied it about the
boys body. The child was drawn
upon the wharf. Then Murray was
pulled from the water.

Johns Fate.

A schoolteacher who was about to
be married visited an old friend, and
naturally the coming event was the
topic of much of the conversation. The
young woman, whose plans were not
yet made public, thought it wise to
pledge the little four-year-old daughter
OF the house to secrecy. Accordingly
she called little Ethel to her, told her
that soon she and John were to be
married, and asked her to promise that
she would keep the secret.
Little Ethel went back to her play,
while her mother and the teacher re-
sumed their conversation.

turned, and whispered with great eau

New York.-Another tragedy of Mex

The immediate action concerns only
the efforts of a sister to ecover $780,
600 from the $1,000, 900 estate of her
brother, who was murdered in Mexico.
Behind it all appear the details of a
shipboard courtship, the marriage, the

death of the husband after he had ac-
cumulated a fortune at the cost of
much hardship.

When Lawrence came to New York

Great Britain would continue - fight

from dfspatching an overseas expedi'
ton to strike at the British empire,
and while the Balkans barrier blocked
an overland blow at Egypt. Mespo-
tamia, southern Persia and India,
Great Britain might we'll consider

henceforth must rely on her allies FAR
more than previously. This fact will
