They Ate Giant Powder.

Wyoming Exchanged
Mrs. Dr.. Latham was hurriedly
called yesterday afternoon to admin
lister to two children of one Frank
Potter, whose mouths had suddenly
greatly indamed, says the Spokane
Falls Review. When the physician
arrived she found the children dan
gerouslv i'll. Their mouths we're
greatly inAamed, as we're also sheir
throats. She gave them soothing
remedy, and after relieving the little
ones suffering, set about to find out
it possible what they had eaten to
make them SICK. The cause was soon
apparent. The children had in some
way gotten hold OF a stick OF giant
powder. Surprising i. was ,nolasses
candy, the little irnocents munched
the dangerous stuff to their hearts
content. The nitro-glycerine con-
tanned in the giant powder gave it a
sweet taste, aud the children were for
while in clover. After time, how
ever, the other ingredients of the in.
nocent looking stick began to make
the mselves felt. and the children
threw their 'candy" away and ran to
papa and mamma for comfort. The
mouths and throats OF the children
are in . very inaamed state, and had
not Mr.. Potter summoned medical aid
with the promptness he did, his little
ones might now be silent forever. K
is thought that the children will not
suffer any injurious effects from the
powder.
