In Sisseton, S. Dak., one Amos White, a Sioux Indian, bit off the end of his squaw's nose to make her less attractive to other Indians. She will probably have re-covered when he returns to her, after the two years and eight months which he must spend in the penitentiary.

Envelope

In Manhattan, last week, four robbers walked into a Park Avenue jewelry shop in broad daylight, bound, gagged the shopkeeper, stole $200,000 worth of gems, walked out. None but the jeweler noticed a soiled white envelope lying in an open drawer. In the envelope was a diamond worth $500,000.

In San Francisco, Mrs. William Schaumberg, her husband and five friends sat down to play poker. "Oh, I can't play this game," said Mrs. William Schaumberg, "I don't know how."

"I will show you," said William Schaum-berg, as he dealt the cards.

The highest hand in poker is a royal straight flush, a sequence in the same suit from the ten to the ace. What was the chagrin of William Schaumberg when his wife revealed a royal straight flush in diamonds on the first hand!

What was his chagrin when, half an hour later, she revealed that another royal straight flush in diamonds had been dealt to her!

Another 15 minutes and Mrs. Schaumberg asked for one card in the "draw." When, having done so, she revealed another royal straight flush, in clubs, William Schaumberg's chagrin was great. He fainted.

*A stone is approximately 14 pounds.
