Danish papers report extensive political agitation in Iceland aimed at complete separation.

Saco Woman Drops Tacks Then Sits on Them

A Saco woman spilled a carpet tack paper in a chair and forgot it during a visit about a bonnet seen in Biddeford. Her husband returned home, sat on the chair, then quickly stood with a speech, claiming he can quote more Scripture than any man living. With tools, a large portion of the tacks have been removed, but the chair remains empty at the Cataract bride railing for now.
