A Babe That weighs Thirteen Ounces

From the Chicago Herald
ut is wee mite of baby" said the mother of
Mrs. James Wills whose daughter on Sunday gave
birth to girl baby which tips the beam at thirteen
ounces 1t is without doubt the smallest baby that
ever born in this state and probably the United
States. The father James Willis is big, healthy
man who weighs about one hundred and eighty-five
pounds, stands five feet eleven inches in his stock
ing feet and drives wagon for q leading wholesale
grocery house. Mrs Willis is Slight Of form and
weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds. Mr.
and Mrs. Willis reside at 260 Kinzie street The
little baby is wrapped in cotton, is too small to
be put i'll clothes. 1t appears perfectly healthy and
has good pair Of lungs. The parents are proud of
their midget offspring, which they expect will de-
vclop into good-sized healthy child, as Mrs.
Willis was also very small when she was born.

They placed rare lilies in her hands
Poor hands that scarce had touched flower
And creamy rose-buds, whose perfume
Embalmed her fer her funeral hour.
They wrapped her form in lustrous silk,
And draped soft folds of flmy lace
About the slender pUlseess wrists,
And underneath tie patient face.
At last she lay in perfect rest;
While voices-late so slow to praise,
Rehearsed her many virtues DER,
And spoke Of all her pleasant ways.
The sleeper Needed not the wealth
OF bloom that lay within her hands;
And not word of love or loss,
Her sealed ears could understand.

Strange, we 80 often keep the flowers

Cling closer, love, and press your dear,
Soft cheek to mine, and feel no fear,
Though ehostly winds without complain,
And scared drops fly against the pane,
For You are here, and / am here.
And storms will vent their spite In vain,
If love look forth in sweet disdain,
And thou, within the fireiight's cheer,
Cling closer, love.
More bitter storms Of grief and pain,
In after years will vex us twain.
All, then, in light of love sincere,
Come near, my sweet, and still more near
