It costs the taxpayers lots of money to advertise these items, and we hope our officers will be able to own their own news- r papers for these purposes ere long. It looks like a money-saving scheme to me. Hie Human Torch. TYben the blow torch in the hands of a mechanic working on a car in front of a garage suddenly exploded, the man’s clothing was quickly envel oped in flames. Panic-stricken and cryuig out in pain, he ran to the home of a neighbor who endeavored to beat out the flames with her hands, The fire was communicated to her clothing and to her house. She was horned, her home was damaged, the mechanic was terribly scarred and two automobiles were burned.

When 19 and 28 came, we managed to get within two-thirds of the top, but 19 anfl 29 found us so poor we didn’t even answer the chairman’s letter. (Yes, he’s an New York yet, and while it is possible that he does not know it—he’s just about out of a job. Personally I am glad that those Ar menians finally decided to go to work for a living.)

It seems that they think that possibly Sharkey did tap the German below the belt acciden tally, but that cramp colic he had after the mishap was due to a fowl he ate for supper, and not one that one should get down on the ground or the floor and roll in an attempt to smother the flames.

Along with Bermuda and other in sular territories, St. Helena hag long barred the motor car. First intima tion that the embargo had been lifted came in an unsolicited testimonial re ceived by General Motors Export Co. from the St. Helena Corp. Ltd., im porters and exporters, who do a flour ishing business on the Island. \ Excerpts from the letter state that “until the commencement of this year, mechanical transport was pro hibited. . . . It is now sanctioned, however, and we have imported the first motor lorry that the Island has seen. “. . . for the purpose of col lecting raw material from our plan tations, and the cartage of prepared hemp from the mills to the wharf, we have had to maintain a large amount of animal transport which in this island ig very expensive and allows no comparison with the cost of trans port by mechanical means. Conse quently, directly legislation permitted, we imported a motor lorry as men tioned, and before doing so we con sidered . . . the vehicle which would in our opinion be the most suit able. Of a large number of vehicles offered, we concluded that for thq price your Chevrolet cwt. I.

Catherine’s mother very carefully told the little girl everything she should and should not do. “And be sure,” her mother'said, knowing Catherine’s fondness for pas try, “not to ask for a second piece of cake.” When Catherine came home her mother asked her all about the visit. “And did you have only one piece of cake, like I told you?” she said. “Oh, no,” replied Catherine. “I re membered what you said, so I didn’t eat any cake l. all. I ate two pieces of pie instead.” Atmospheric Phenomenon Tuesday, September 6, 1881, Is known in New England as the Yellow day. It was characterized by an In tense brassy appearance. Many per sons reported a smell of smoke In the air and this is generally believed to have been the cause of the peculiar phenomenon. It is known that exten sive forest fires were raging In Canada and in the West. Another suggestion wts that It was caused hy an active volcano In the Interior of Labrador; another that the smoke was derived from immense peat bogs in Labrador which la dry eeasoos burned to the rocks.

I admitted that the correct information had been transmitted to him—as I possessed a copper cent, a nickel, a dime, a quarter, a half-dol lar and a paper dollar bill. A stranger inadvertently remarked that he knew I was very wealthy. I insisted that he notify my hanker of that fact—no’s I could rest easier when my notes fell due.

Several days later in one of the roll rooms, the teacher and her pupils casually mentioned s certain girl, who was one of the Latin winners. “Oh yes,” said George, “I know her.
