SAVED FROM SUICIDE.
A Ia-ienr-Old Girl Gives Desperate
Woman Simple Emetic

PATTERSON, July 1.-THE presence
OF mind of l3-year old Lillian Hopper
saved Mrs. Diana Meyers from painful
death this afternoon. Mrs. Meyers is
81 and the mother Of five children.
Her matrimonial life has not been a
happy one owing to her husbands habit
OF abusing her.
Lillian was playing with the children
when she saw Mrs. Meyers open the
closet, take from it yellow box and
swallow a part of the contents As
soon as Mrs. Meyers laid the box aside
Lillian examined it and found "ra.
poison" written in big black letters.
She said nothing but quietly secured a
handful Of salt, poured it into glass of
water and told Mrs Meyers to drink the
mixture. The husband watched che
proceedings and then left the house,
saying he would go for doctor, but did
not rcsurn for one hour.
In the meantime the salt AMI water
acted as an emetic. Lillian alarmed
the neigh bors and five physicians re-
sponded. All agreed that the woman
would have died but for Lillian's
prompt attention.
