MONKS GIVE SANCTUARY T0 UNUSUAL CASE The monks of Downside Abbey, near Bath, England, have given sanctuary to a man who declared that every man ’s was against him. They have by their act provided an epilogue to one or the most baffling and sensatio l murders of the late eighties, for the man they have befriended states tnat he is Charles Parton, who, at the age of eighteen, was sentenced to death for murdering John Fletcher, a Jus- tice of the Peace, Town Councillor, and wealthy manufacturer in Manchester, England. The above pictures show the picturesque old English Abbey, and, inset, Charles Parton and three of his children. He is now the groundsman of Downside Abbey. .,gx~eatbrogreaahubeenmade “.7- are even inm For. one thing, the men must not be hampered in carrying out a very rigid duty, and for another thing it is not by any means everybody who is physically capable of reaching the nest. writes a Tit-Bit: man.

It is the eye 01' the ship, for in it throughout a voyage without a moment’s break two men stay whose sole work is that of watch- ing the sea and sky. It is the liner’s lookout, and only men who have exceptionally good eyesight are chosen for the work or staying aloft in this lookout. The very life of the mammoth, carrying perhaps 5,000 peo- ple, depend: on them. The lookout men are like eagles iiiâ€"an eyrie. and they have need to be alert and of piercing vision when rushing a« cross the Atlantic at the rate of nearly 30 miles an hour. They are better plac- ed than the officer on the bridge for seeing things ahead. and they are pro- vided with a loud speking telephone so that they can communicate with the bridge without their words being drowned in the how} of a gale or the roar of the sea. Powerful binoculars are furnished them. The crew’s nest is a source of fascin- ation to passengers some of whom make great efiorts to‘ be allowed to visit it; but the captain rarely gives permission.

He knows that the nest is staunch and true and that the nest will not give way even under the charges of those wandering terrors of seas known as the “Three Old Men of the Atlantic.” The noise is appalling.

A few days ago Scotty appeared in a rather unusual role. He said that he had lost $0,000,000 in the stock market.
