THE ART OF BABY TENDING.

Men-perhaps it woul d be bet

can with q show Of skill handle
anything from a jig aaw or ten
mis- racquet 10 a wheel barrow
or a tandem team, are unpardon
ably awkward when they TAXA
a baby. The little ones, who
usually like to go to papa and
rest their tiny bodies on his con
fident strength, are only so glad
to get back to the ma ternal arms,
cross and uncomfortable, their
clothing pulled this way and
that, crumpled as to frllls and
ruDpled as to temper. Theirs
isn't any excuse for this sort of
thing. 1t has been my lot sew
eral times to see large hearted
physician, married or single as
the case might be, handle q lit
tie one with skillful tender
ness even neither might envy
kOne instance was that Of q lit
tie girl very i'll with bronchial
fever. when the doctor arrived
his patient was sloeping, and he
made a thorough examination
OF her lungs without waking
her, turning her from side to
side with the juggiery in which
the HindOos are said to be adap-
ted. Now, as we can't all marry
doctors, couldn't somebody start

IS HE THE MAN P
Forged Checks Being Passed at Asheville
N. O., and Morristown.

The chief of police has received
notification that a man giving his
name as G. II. Lewis is wanted at
Asheville, N. c., and Morristown,
Tenn, for passing forged drafts.
These forgcries were committed the
latter part of July and the forger
was working the same game that the
man Du Mack was attempting here.
The description given suits the fellow
who got the printing done at W. p.
Titus Office and who skipped his
board bill at the franklin House.
The chief of police is satisfied that
he is the same fellow and that he
will possibly try to catch victim
somewhere around here. The checks
he forged at Asheville and Norris
town range from 800 to 5000. There
is a reward offered for his arrest.

He Whipped His Wife.

Nicholas Roach was arrested yes
terday evening for whipping his
wife, He was put in the lock up un-
til he became sober Che was drunk
when the act was committed) and
was let out on bond.
He went home, it seems, intoxi-
Gated and began abusing his wife
again. The woman in selfdefense
took an iron poker and struck her
husband several blows on the head,
cutting two gashes which bled pro-
lusely. Officer Robinson was sent
for and again arrested Roach and
took him TO the city Jail. An exam
ination there showed that the
gashes on his head were about two
inches long, one of them being over
his eye and reaching to the skull.
DIR Northington dressed his wounds
and in the city court this morning
Roach was fined $l5 and costs.
Roach has borne a good character
heretofore and his friends attribute
his action of yesterday solely to
whisky.
