POOR BABY!
BY HARYOT HOLT.

HARYoT HOLT.
just now, the wave of reform that is sweeping
like cyclone over the land, is turning its breezy
attention in the direction of the infant population
and is of the opinion that through countless gen.
erations the baby has been subjected to mode of
treatment that requires immediate remedies. In
short, the attention of the world has been called
to this object of abuse end imposed torture, and
the world is with one accord glad it isn't a baby.
The world is thankful it doesnt have to be ondled
and kissed and bundled and jumped and subjected
to thousand ills never heard of outside the nurs-
cry walls.
But the reformer proposes to invade these walls
and institute new order of things, all in favor of
a regime of comfort for the baby Mrs. Winslow
has been turned out bodily; and many reform
device will be born and die ere the inventor there
of will fall heir to the fame of this antediluvian
promoter of household fepose.
There are babies and babies.
The former are the ones you love, and the latter
is the bowling infant population of the outside
world, the travelling public. Considering the great
amount of information there is to be acquired on
the subject of the treating and rearing of babies
the wonder is that so many grow up.
The only persons who really know how to bring
them up are those who never have any, and their
ideas are mounted on fortress of observation and
arIowroot ready to be touched off at the proper
moment to enlighten the world.
The old bachelor has a good deal of discipline
mixed up in his idea of what ought to be done
with babies gagged by the lusty-unged young
stcr in the next room to his own; old maids cher
sh goedly amount of sentiment along with in
FAINT humanity.
Grandparents have time, patience and worship
for the babies in the family; paterfamias builds
castle into the future and the central figure is
boy in whom will blossom all the energies of the
ideal man.
The politician even regards the baby; when the
women vote what will become of it?
'Poor baby!" to be ptied is, indeed, Intel
ligence is conspiring against YOU
But while the reformer is laboring for you, and
father is dreaming and striving for you, while the
unsympathetc frown, and the sentimental condole,
still the mother will smile and rock and sing, in
the progressive days of the future as in the past
smiling, rocking and singing
Crock by baby, in the tree.top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock"
and the baby will never know that times have

Manager 1t will never know there are mothers
societies, dress reforms and ncubators, but it will
be as uncomfortable as of old, cutting its teeth on
rubber rings and the fingers of the family with the
same amount of infant enthusiasm, and when it
grows up it will pay the debt of its early contract
ing by bringing up other babies in the same haz-
ardous Way reforms TO the contrary notWLll-

among the Westphalian miners. The
police at Dornnund made a raid upon
the houses of the leaders of the striking
workmen and seized, together with a
considerable sum Of money, many letters
and papers eIlanating from Socialist

connection between the strikers and the
Socialist propaganda. They also arrested
