MISCELLANY "Time brings all things."
Goddess

Pearl
In Chicago, when Nino Rinaldo took Margot King & Sadie Stearns to the Ranch Cafe for lunch, Sadie Stearns picked an oyster from Margot King's plate to sample. When she found in it a $1,900 pearl, Discoverer Stearns, Orderer King, Payer Rinaldo, Vendor Ranch Cafe all brought suit for possession.
Feaster
In St. Louis, Mo., George Toomey, unemployed, hungry, greedy, gobbled three free holiday dinners, then stuffed down a fourth, died of overeating.
Feast

Fall
In Toronto, Ontario, small Frank Williams toppled from his perch atop a ski-jump under repair, began an Soft, fall with a scream. Perched on a plank 15 ft. below, big Herman Bautzman heard the scream, stretched an arm, yanked small Frank Williams from the air and death.
