THE BABY DODGE,
What Happened to a Traveller While
Playing Peck-a- Boo With Little
Darling.
lSt. Louis Post Dispatch. ]


[St. Louis Post Dispatch.]
The very latest style of confidence game is
the baby racket, which was played on Chi
cago merchant who came down on the G..
& a. to witness the Yelled Prophets and
Trades procession. The trick was played by
three young men who boarded the train at
Chicago and left it at some point unknown
tc any of the passengers The Chicago man
had very fine diamond stud adjoining his
shirt 'front.' This was not the last thing the
confidence men saw and he was soon
marked" Shortly after the train left
Springfield one of the young men walked
forward, carrying a laughing baby in his
arms. Saluting one of his "pals'' the
confidence man remarked what heart
less thing it was to abandon such a
pretty child. The accomplices stood ND and
in few moments the Chicago man was on
his feet chucking the infant under the chin
and playing peek-a-boo and tootzie wootzie
The little thing laughed in great glee and the
Chicago man played monkey while the tenn
porary nurse held up his charge for the adj
miration of the crowd and incidentally passed
his hand under the child's clothes and over to
the Chicago mans shirt bosom, which was
soon relieved of its headlight
The man with the child then started back
to get drink of water and soon returned the
child to its mother, from whom the mice
gentleman" had borrowed it to show his wife
in the next car. Like all Chicago men, this
particular visitor from the city by the lake
''squealed' and modestly requested that the
detective force be laid off for day to hunt
! up his diamond. On description, Tucker
and Browning arrested two of the men this
morning, but the Chicago man had gone home,
and the confidence men had to be released.

Had IN Interest ia the Fire Escape.
detroit Free Press

The other day prominent citizen of De-
troit, who has been greatly interested in the
subject of fre-escapes, was inspecting a build
ing on East Woodbridge street which had
just been equipped with balconies and lad
ders, and he summed up his opinion with:
"Weii, sir, there's no earthly need of an ac-
cident here in case of fire. All any employee
has to do is to coolly step from window to
one of the balconies and descend in perfect
safety"
At o'clock Saturday afternoon this same
citizen was in the same building when some
rags took fire on the fourth floor a smudge
arose, and an alarm was sounded for the
steamers.
Fire! freH' was echoed through the build
ing, and the employees rushed for the stairs
like frightened sheep
The eminent citizen lost his legs as soon as
he heard the cry-ran twice around the room
without seeing the open door, and finally
brought up at window. The sash was hung
on weights, and yet he pushed, pulled and
tugged in vain, and finally lowered the top
sash and climbed over. As he descended to
the second balcony he left one coat-tail on a
nail, broke his watch chain, and took a tlm-
BILE which landed him on his back and he was
there, yelling ''fire!" when the engines came
up. He had to be helped through window
and down stairs, and when heartleSs wretch
in the crowd asked him how long he had
practiced the Escaping" business, he re-
piled:

beside me, and CLEANS of light and shadow
make free with her sweetness, her beauty,
her pensive and ETHEREAL grace. Dear girl!
suppose she sleeps in her grave by this, but
she is a shaft of the light of heaven in my
memory"
And Mr.. Fernalde rose, walking to the
window, just as the screen began to tremble,
and smothered cough and then an undis-
guised one, betrayed to me, if not to him,
that Mrs Fernalde had heard the chief part
of the monologue.
And 1 had heard it in fragments and
sections more than once BEFORE" she after
ward told me, with her pleasant SMILE Il
know it means nothing-that he is just as
wholly mine as I am his-that our love is the
imperishable sort-that we are welded into
one by fifty years together. And perhaps it
was ignoble Of me to break the pretty bub-
BILE, to take away his little ideal, with which
ne has found comfort whenever l would have
my own way too much. Yet I thought it
was about time"
But she said nothing of this at all as she
came bustling round the corner of the screen
that morning.
"There is such gale blowing outside" she
fit to choke one.n
''You haven't caught cold, Rosalie9' said
her husband, turning IN concern.
''Not the least, but l shall if the halldoor
is open another moment. There she comes
now. Make haste, and bid Alicia goodbye,
my love. She is just going"
''Who!' he cried, suddenly opening his
eyes like lamps in their deep settings.
''Alicia-Mrs. Talliafero-dear She mar
ried again, you know. Oh, it has been fine
jest" she cried with her low laugh, ''to
think that you should not have recognized
Alicia in all these weeks and months"
Mr.. Fernalde was quiet for a few moments,
looking at the sweet little lady before him,
with her color like the half-tarnished rose,
with the soft brilliancy Of her placid smile.
Then he crossed over the hearth before me,
and he took her hand and bent down and
kissed her mouth.
''My Rosalie," said he, evil you not make
my adieux to Mrs. Talliafero youselfs Tel

a French Fair,
["J. B. J.n in Chicago Herald !

Thus farwe have visited the ruins of the i'm
perial palace at St Cloud, which are just out
side of Paris and in the midst of a magnif-
cent park. We were in luck, for just at this
time of the year there is a fair going ON at
this place, and as a French fair is something
unique | will tell you about it.
Picture to yourself double row of little
shops fully mile and half in length, all en-
gagged in selling gingerbread, cheap glass and
china ware and penny whistles-this last ar
ticle is, it seems, the principal staple trade
dealt in at the St Cloud fair. All round these
shops are an equal number of side shows, fat
women, electrical girls, educated feas,
fortune-telleis, shooting galleries, games of
chance, games of strength, games of skill,
peep shows, theatres, balls, merry go-rounds,
swings-what all cannot begin to remember.
This fair lasts for a month, and on Sundays
the Parisians flock out to it in crowds, and
the grown people seem to enjoy it fully as
much as do the children. Capt. Hayne says
that there is one or more such fair going
on every Sunday somewhere in the Immediate
vicinity OF Paris.

Chinese Interest in Sorghum Sugar
Chicago Tribune


Chicago Tribune
For 1000 years sorghum has been profitably
grown in China as cereal, but has never
been utilized as source of producing sugar.
The experiments made in this country by
well-known scientists in this direction have
attracted much attention in China. The peo-
pie Of that country are not slow to see that if
the clear gain OF its sugar value can be added
to the seed crop it will prove matter of vast
Importance to the empire. Accordingly,
some weeks ago the Chinese ambassador and
his two secretaries were among party Of
visitors to the Rio Graude Sugar company's
works, for the purpose OF learning what they
could from observation OF the processes EN-
plOyed in the manufacture of sugar from
sorghum. Concerning the interest evinced
by the shrewd and inquisitive representatives
of the Celestial kingdom correspondent of
the New York Tribune says: ''If they had
been sugar experts, inclined to purchase the
whole concern as an investment, they could
not have studied Tie methods and machinery
more closely OF more intelligently. They
watched the cane through the rollers and
followed the expressed juice as it was clari-
fled and boiled through the vacuum pans to
the centrifugals, and by their searching in
quiries kept Dir. Collier and Supt. Hughes
constantly explaining every detail through
the entire process. When the day WAS over
there is little doubt that they had more
comprehensive knowledge of sugar making
than any of the American visitors" That
the Chinese ambassadors went there for
purpose is evident enough, and the next
thing to be expected is that one of these days
China will be largely engaged i'll the success
