...Pacific Club. Unfortunately, there was no money left for a monument. Last year Jesuits bought the cemetery and the remains of Norton I were removed to a vault. Last week San Franciscans, most of whom knew of the mad old man, his plumed silk hat and gold-ferruled cane only by hearsay, turned out by the hundreds to rebury him at Woodlawn Memorial Park in San Mateo County...
...good men and true make a jury in Alberta. Before them Miss MacMillan appeared as her own star witness in cool summer hat and frock. She faced the impassive Premier with a story of how at a picnic in tiny Edson when she was 18 he told her she was a very handsome woman, mentioned the opportunities for employment in Edmonton and said that Mrs. Brownlee would keep an eye on her if she chose to come to Alberta's metropolis.

...workmen cheered. May Gould, 20, daughter of Albert Gould, Boston admiralty lawyer, swooped a bottle of champagne down at the bow of her father's new yacht, missed. Down the greased ways slid the unchristened schooner. Slipping, skating, skidding behind it, trim in starched linen suit and white hat, plunged May Gould into the icy water. One hundred yards out in the bay, the champagne bottle slipped out of her hand. Three hundred yards out, she caught up with the yacht, grabbed her bottle as it bobbed by, smashed it on the bow at the waterline, spit...
