Howard | determined to stand trial. - The girl's mother, Mrs. Phebe Spel- man, was the first witness. The girl followed her mother on the stand and told of the assault, describing how Gardner held her while Brown com- mitted the crime. This was in Sep- tember, 1911. The girl said she never told her mother of it pr anyone else until she told the doctor in the Prov- idence hospital, because her mother had told the children she would “break their mouths” if they ever told what happened around the house. She claimed she had seen her mother in a compromising position with her uncle, William Gardner, and that the other children in the family had also seen the same circumstances. Herbert B. Brown, 39, who hal pleaded guilty to the charge, was next on the stand and pointed out William Gardner ag the man who was with him when the assault was made. Brown sald he was three-quarters drynk that day when he heard the girl hollering “Let me go!” The witness corroborat- ed the testimony of the girl as to Gardner holding her down while the assault was made. He sald he was afrald of Gardner when the latter urged him to the crime.

CANARIES SURVIVED FLOOD IN NORWICH, ENGLAND. The canaries for which Norwich is famous seem to have fared better than some of the inhabitants in the recent floods. One old breeder was asked about, his stock and said they were safe, They lived in the back bedroom of his house by the river. The water filled the lower rooms breast high, but he was not going to abandon his precious birds to starve. “So,” he said simply, “I waded in after them'and struggled up the stairs with their food, &nd, bless you, they was singing grand.” This custom of breed- ing the canaries in the back rooma hag saved hundreds of choiCe birds from destruction. - It was a Norwich man who bred the perfect bird that was presented t- Queen Mary not long ago. =~ “Lovely colored, like a meerschaum pipe, he was,” sald the breeder in genuine ad- miration_and local pride.—Manchester L?n'land) Guardian.

Adventures of a Hotel Sign. An fmmense and hidesus placard erected by & hetel keeper on.the rock on which is built the beautiful vil- lage of Baux, in Prevence, France, has been the cause of a bitter contro- versy between two parties in that quiet village, but no bleodshed.

The under preect in turn notifieq the mayor of the villa of Baux. Now, the mayor of the vil- lage {8 a friend of the hotel keeper, and so refrained from executing the order. Half the village stood by the hotel keeper in his refusal to take down the sign, The other half, op- posed to this biot on a beautiful land- Beape, favored pulling it down. The question as to whether the sign should stay or go got into a village election and gave greater excitement to that event. The result of the election w& the defeat of the mayor, t{fla the hotel keeper, and the, e was condemned to pay. fiSnty-five francs for damages incurret by the election, it was_his duty to sign. But when the workmen cams to erect a scaffolding against the rock, the hotel man deelared t he would shoot with a carbine the first man who mounted the er. fore the resolute attitude of the dough~ ty boniface the mayor hesitated. He telephoned to the under prefect at Arles. The latter responded magnifi- cently: “Order the workmen to take down the sign. The expense of the operation will be charged to the hot! keepér.” With renewed courage th workmen mounted the rock and took down the sign, not, however, without leaving many Scars on the rock which a painter is now trying to obliterate.
