w. II Ostrom started last week, with hi
wife and eight children, from ranch il
| Pine Grove Gulch. tor q distance of abou
| twenty miles to Q small park ON tho South
| Platte, where he expected to spend the
| winter. Mr.. Ostrom had previously visited
| the park, and had built house for the
protection of his family. He had removed
most of his effects, and on Friday morning
last he started with his family and few
articles OF household furniture and wearing
apparel. When the travellers were about
three miles from the place where they in
tended to stop, the wagon was overturned,
and Mr.. Ostrom was killed by the accident.
They had passed over the toughest portion
of the road, and about four O'Clock came to
q email stream, over which Q man could
step with ease. One of the two mules

overturning it. Mrs. Ostrom and the child

side, and Mr.. Ostrom threw himself under
He Wa caught square under the croesbar of
the wagon bed. There was . weight Of
fully 1900 pounds upon him.
Mrs. Ostrom got upon her feet - soon o.
possible, and found her husband very pale,
but he assured her that he was not greatly
hurt. He told her to get q lever Dry the
wagon eff him. She tried, but could not
move it. He grew paler and paler, and in
less than five minutes after the accident he
died. At this time the Oldest son. who was
driving . COW, came up. He end his mother
the body of the dead husband and father,
and they were compelled to uncouple the
wagon and drag it of With the mules. No
means would avail anything to restore life.
There were the poor woman and her eight
children fifteen miles from Q human being
in the heart of the Rocky mountains, and
night upon them. The oldest of the chill
dren was only fourteen, and the others were
very small. The nearest h0uee was fifteen
miles back over the Same road. through the
mountains that they had travelled. So with
the dead body OF her husband lying in q
sheet by her side, and her children and the
beasts of the mountain wilds to keep her
the bravo woman determined to
spend the night.
A big fire was built and the children
were made a. comfortable as possible. But
at this season it is very cold in the noun
tains, and do what she might the little ones
suffered. She never thought of her own
comfort, and che and her oldest boy kept
the lonely vigil through an almost endless
and very cold and very dark night.
With the first ray of daylight the be-
reaved mother began to make preparations
for her return. The wagon was coupled
together and the mules we're attached. The
children and the dead body of the husband
we're put on the wagon, and the party began
TO retrace their footsteps. The body had
frozen stiff during the night. The road was
70 bad that they did not reach any house
until nine O'Clock ON Saturday night.
Mr.. Ostrom came from Mobile, Alabama,

Evil 10 wrought by want of thought
As we'll Is by want of heart"

1t would be hard to tell how much of the
prevalent illness and mortality from diph.
liberia 10 due to such want of thought As
q rule adults have the disease in 90 mild q
form that they mistake it for simple cold,
and 81 cold is not contagious they think
nothing of exposing others to their breath
or the greater danger Of labial contact.
Taking into confederation the well eetab-
lished fact that diphtheria il usually If
not always communicated by the direct
transplsnting of the malignant vegetation
which causes the disease, the fact that there
can be no more certain means of bring
ing the contaglon to it's favorite soil than
the act of kissing, and the further fact that
the custom of kissing children on all &C.
caeions 10 all but universal, it is not sur
prising that. when the disease is once Inn.
ported into community, it is very likely
to become epidemic. 1t would be absurd
to charge the spread of diphtheris entirely
to the practice of child-kissing. There are
other modes of propagation, though it is
hard to conceive of any more directly suited
to the spread of the infection or more gen.
eral in it's operation. 1t stands to diphthe.
ria in about the same relation that promis-
cuous hand-shaking formerly did to the
itch. 1t were better to avoid the practice.
The children will not suffer if they 60 un.
kissed, and their friends ought for their
sake to foregO the luxury for q season. A
single kiss has been known to infect o
family, and the most careful may be in q
condition to communicate the disease with
out knowing it. Beware, then, of playing
Judas, and lot the babies alOne.-Rochester

" Don,e kiss MY BABY,

Mothers are delighted when visitors caress
and kiss their little darlings. They never
think of asking the family physician what
illresults may come from the practice.
Read what 10 said below by thinker and
observer, and remember tho warning. The
promiscuous kissing of children il : pesti-
lent practice. We use the word advisedly,
and it 10 mild for the occasion. Murder0us
would be the proper word, did the kissers
know the mischief they do. Yes, madam,
murderous, and We are speaking to you.
Do you remember calling on your dear
friend Mrs. Brown the other day with Q
strip of flannel round your necki And
when little Flora came dancing into the
room didn't you pounce upon her demon
stratively, call her precious little pet, and
kiss hers Then you serenely proceeded to
describe the dreadful sore throat that kept
you from prayer.meeting the night be-
fore. You had no design on the dear child's
life, we know; nevertheless you killed her!
killed her as surely as if you had fed her
with strychnine or arsenic. Your careless
ness was fatal. Two or three days after
the little pet began to complain of . sore
throat too. The symptoms grew rapidly
alarming; and when the doctor came the
single word diphthecia sufiiced to explain
them ali. To-day q little mound is the sole
mementO Of your visit. OF course, the
mother does not suspect, and would not
dare to suspect you Of any fundamentally
in her bereavement She charges it to a
mysterious Providence. The doctor says
nothing to disturb the delusiOn; that would
be impOlitic, if not cruel; but to an out
slider he lie free to say that the child's death
was due directly to your stupidity. Those
are precisely his words; and who shall say,
under the circumstances, that they are not
justifable9 Remember
