VERY SAD.-As a Council Bluffs Gowa)
woman was doing her washing, one Of
her children fell into kettle Of water.
The mother seized the infant, who.e
heart-rending cries indicated the terrible
nature Of its injuries, and deposited it on
q bed, while she ran to ncghbor's to
got him to run for the doctyr. Before
the doctor arrived all the neighbors had
gathered, and among them had undressed
the screaming infant very carefully, 50
that the scalded skin should not peel off,
and sprinkled it with flour. At length
the doctor arrived, reaching the door at
the same moment with the terror stricken
husband, whom also the messenger had
found and hidden to "go home aud prepare
for the saddest news" The doctor made
a careful examination Of the infant and
promptly advised the mother to put "
shirt or something on the child 50 it
might not freeze to death. The assembled
neighbors, one after another, felt of the
water in the kettle, found it icy cold and
quietly departed.

life, and was getting my handkerchief all
ready when glancing around at -, l saw
that coarse, yellow skin Of hers through
