A Child Killed
rom the Arkansas Gazette.
Few people seem to properly estimate
the great wrong Of frightening children.
Nearly every household has its "ugly
old man" or its great old bear" This
terrible old man and this great old bear
are powerful factors in nursery dis,.i-
pl'ne: "Come !n a:ong here now" mother
put you to bed" II don't want to 20 to
bed now,' the child replies. YOU'D
better come on here now or Pll tell that
ugly old man to come and take you away .
There he comes now" This has the in
tended effect, and the child, trembling
in fea,, S lbmits at once and goes to bed,
probably to see in imagination all kinds
of horrible faces.
The sad death of little girl, which
occurred recently. shows what strong
impression these 'boogers'' make on
the minds of children. The little girl
was beautiful child, and every one at
he fashionable boarding house where
her.parents were spending the summer
months loved her with that purity
affection which child so gentle, vet so
strongly inspires. She would stand at
The gate and clap her little hands with
dee, when her father came to dinner,
and when he would take her off his
>h ,ulder, she would shout and call to
| every one to look how high she Was.
One day large shaggy dog came into
| the yard and when she ran to him and
T. Id flower to his nose, he growled
and turned away. She was terribly
frightened, and the black nurse, who
stoud~ near, was n+,t e'ow~i:,~ ~r,,aking~-u
mental note Of the impression the dog
had made. Several niyEts afterwards,
when be,ltin,e came, The child was un.
| usually wakeful.
"Yer'd better come heah an, git in dis
bed," the nurse commanded.
~ don't want to-"
San right den. Use gwine out and
| rail- dat ole dog what growled at yer
When he comes an fms yer ou en- de
| 'e' he'll bite yer head off,"
The little girl grew deathly pale.
"NutiIn' would suit dat dog better
den ter git chance hat yer. 'Tother
night he cotch little girl across de
road an eat her all up"
The child screamed!
'Come OIL heah den, an won't let him
ketch yer"
The poor little thing obeyed. Her
atter and mother were at an entertai T.
nent, and there was no appeal from
the negro won,an's decision. Wien
morning came the lille girl did not
awake with her usual "Good mornin',
papa and mamma" She had tossed ali
| night and hot fever had settled upon
her. She grew rapidly worse, and the
| next day the phy sician declared that
here was no hope for her. She became
delirious, and struggling, would exclaim
Dog shan't have mammals little girl. ."
1t was sorrowing circle that sur.
rounded her deathbed. The parents
were plunged into grief which none
but the hearts OF fathers and mothers
! can feel.
Her last m oments were series OF
| struggles. How hard the beautiful can
die! She wildly threw up her little
| hands and sh, irked:
$50 away. dog"
A gentle hand wiped the death dew
from her lips.
Again she struggled and shrieked:
'Dog shan't have" but she died ere
the sentence was finished.
