TOO MANY STARS – Last Thursday, the well-known druggist, W. P. Allen, met with an accident that caused him to see fifteen million starts in one and a quarter seconds . He was standing under the eves of a house when a huge icicle came down, striking him fairly upon the head with such force as to render him unconscious. He soon revived, but will carry the marks of his rough treatment for some days.
