Sent to Indo-China as Governor-General, Tomcat Sarraut lost several more lives in a stern, successful effort to put down native rebellions and buttress unshakably the Chinese cornerstone of French empire. At a reception a native with a bomb shook the Governor-General's hand, grew nervous under his steady gaze, lost courage, shuffled on down the reception line, then turned and threw the bomb which blew a great hole in the floor near M. Sarraut. Few months later another bomb, hurled directly at the Governor-General, missed him by inches, rolled among a crowd and blew twelve...

...formation of the Federal Reserve System in 1914 took away from the Chase some of its job as a bank for bankers, but Mr. Wiggin was already off on a new tack-building up the Chase as a great commercial bank.

But his family sold Atlas to some Boston bankers in 1920; rugs grew more popular than carpets and the tack trade languished. No dividends have been paid in 13 years and as many deficits as profits have been reported. It still makes 7,000,000 lb. of tacks a year, also brads and rivets, but its line of 24,000 items now includes metal buttons, shoe eyelets...
...Goals and 19 Touchdowns; Dartmouth, 0". "Our men played very brilliantly and steadily," the account continues, "and it would be difficult to name the best players.
