The child became restless after awhile and announced it's desire to see its mother in notes of unmistaksble pathos, which might be traced to hunger. After try ing in vain to quiet the child the woman came up the stairs and into court, the baby all the time yelling at the top of its lungs. Judge Thornton jumped up and cried: "Take that child out of court" The woman ad- dressed needed not the command, but con- tinued to advance, and holding the young ster out to its mother over the head of @ prominent lawyer, exclaimed with fire fash | ing from her eye: Court or no court, this child has got to be attended to-"

 cessfully converted by the ordinary acid , Bessemer or open-hearth processes, has beel for ten years in general and successful us in England and upon the Continent. Tn .
