...Wild 'Fish Fang' Eskimos" says the Boston American, "abduct society girl"--a statement about as far from the truth as the headlines of that paper ever are. But apparently it merely relays the story from a London paper. The report is an elaboration of the tragic disappearance of Miss Marguerite Lindsay, which occurred early in August this summer...
...second half the University's play was ragged for the first 10 minutes and repeated shots went wild. Then the team showed a renewal of its team play but failed to net the one necessary goal.

The state of nature is one state permanently barred from the union by common consent. There are too many porcellain bath-tubs and safety-razors in the world today to make primitive life attractive for any length of time to the overwhelming...
