M. Manson, solicitor for the prosecution, stated that one of the chief wit- nesses in the case was Hugh Me- Leod, who was over on Smith Island. He was told yesterday by the people that the civie au- thorities had refused to send for this witness and he asked the court to note the fact. The Mu- nicipal Clauses Act makes it ob- ligatory on the part of the city to stand the expense of bringing in all witnesses at the prelimin- ary hearing. Mr. F. Peters, who is the reru- lar city prosecutor, but who is not handling this case, as the progecution asked to have pri- vate counsel, said the city was! “NOBBY TREAD” TIRE WINNERS St. Valentine’s Day the Lucky Birthday “Ts St. Valentine in league with the stork?” is a question that a great many folks are ask- ing themselves nowadays, as it has been discovered that Febru- ary 14th, St. Valentine’s Day, is the most popular birthday anni- versary of the year. More hu- man beings are born on that day than on any other, if statistics gathered by the Dominion “Nob- by Tread”, tire peoples are any criterion. We are told that in {he spring (Say in April and May) “a young man's faney lightly turns to thoughts of love’—so it is not surprising that February is a busy month for the. birth regis- trar, Each of the February 144th brigade of grown-up babies who now own motor cars in Canada is blessing his or parents for their foresight and thoughtful- ness in having made St. Valen- tine their patron saint, as all who have acknowledged their al- legiance to him are to be_ pre- sented by the Dominion Tire Company, of Bertin, Ont., with a Dominion Tire, plain or nobby tread, complete with inner tube, for their automobile.

SNAKE STORY WINS it Concerns a Miser Living Desp in the Woods, a Rattler and a Rattler The Story Tellers’ Club is the latest in the field. The second weekly meeting of the club was held a few nights ago in Seattle. To be a member of the club, one must be able to tell a story. If the teller wins, he or she is ' given a span of life and mem- bership for a year. If his aud- ience lives, the story is recorded in the archives. : At the close of the year a ban- quet will be served, at which the piece de resistance will be a roasted fowl stuffed with ches- nuts accumulated during the sessions of the club. The story to rereive the most attention last night was told by Miss Helen Gailey. A lonely mi- ser lived in a cabin in a deep wood. He had a great treasure under the cabin floor. One day while walking in the forest he saw a rattlesnake caught be- tween the two limbs of a fallen tree and released it. When he reached his cabin the snake was on his doorstep. He took it up and fixed up a warm bed in a corner. That night the miser was awakened by the sound of scuffling and a shrill rattling. He sprang from his bed to find the snake wrapped around a bur- glar and with its tail out of the window rattling for a policeman. Miss Gailey was voted a full- fledged member. Mrs. George B. Cole told a story in singing rhyme of a boy whose name was Tom, an inqui- sitive boy, who snooped where his big sister was spooning with her admirer, and who got him- self disliked by both parties to the engagement. It was ex- ceedingly well done both in mat- ter and treatment, and Mrs. Cole was voted poet laureate of the club for the present, “Valhalla,” 8. H. & E. F.
