CURIOUS ABOUT THE BABY,
1t Was a Nice Child, but MysteriOus
Until the Old Lady Explained.

Until the Old Lady Explained.
From the Chicago Tmes-Herald.
She was one Of the curious women who
are always to be found everywhere, and
when the young couple. accompanied by
the baby and the old lady, entered the car
she turned her attention to them at once.
Presently the baby began to cry. and she
saw her opportunity. She waited, however,
until the poor young woman had tried
vainly to quiet the baby. and then. when
she yielded the battle and delivered 1t over
to the older lady. the curious woman
opened fire.
She began the campaign by Offering the
child flower. and when the young woman,
thankful OF the cessation NOf the cries
which had attracted the attention of all
the passengers, thanked her gratefully,
she commenced to ask questions at once:
How old is your baby?" she asked first,
and the young woman blushed and looked
desperately at her companions.
Il don't know" she answered at last.
DO you, Edward?''
No" WIS the brief response Of the man,
as ne glared at the curious woman, man
fashion. Il don't"
The young woman looked as if she con-
sidered the matter settled. and sighed COM
fortably as she leaned back and began
playing with the baby. but the inquirer
was rot yet satisfied. and she returned to
the charge.
Has your baby any teeth?'' she asked,
smiling cordially, and again the young wo-
man bluShed.
''I-I-really don't know" was the an
swer again. and the young man rose hast
lily and went out upon the platform.
You don't know, either Of you?" ejacu-
lated the curious woman, in astonishment.

But no explanation was offered her, and
she tried another tack.

From the National Review.
A boy of seven once said to his mother:
Il don't see why husbands and wives must
be so fond of each other. They are no re-
lations at ALL A husband is just a man
you pick up anywhere" This boy. a smart
one. as his language suggests. probably ex-
pressed a widespread childish perplexity.
The thought is amusing because OF it's ig-
norance Of the meaning Of marriage, but
even as we smile do we not half feel that
the chfld's way of looking at human rela-
tionship> Is in a sense the right one and
that marriage, however necessary, is in a
manner eminently unnatural?
A child carries his delightful love of sim
plffcation into the domain of rules of con-
duct. He accepts them with a terrible lit
eralness. refuses to recognize an exception,
and is the born foe of the sophistries of
the casuist. Girls. who are apt to take
rules of behavior more seriously than boys
furnish choice examples of this exactine
literalness. 1t was girl who. seeing her
elder sister point at a chestnut tree decked

really cure.
There are plenty of druggists who will

that an honest druggist would give you

has been sworn out by Attorney Blair
McBeath. of Saltwater, counsel for
Kelly. The writ was sworn out before
Judge Thomas, who is sitting in Min
neapolis and is made returnable in the
United States district court at st. Paul
on April Is, when Kelly will be brought
before the court and released, if he is
being unlawfully deprived of his lib
erty.
Kelly claims that he was sent to the
asylum by the members of his family.
He had property valued at $4,000 at the
time, and his wife was made guardian
of it. The information against him was
filed by his son, Patrick Kelly Jr. Judge
Willrich, of the probate court, investi-
gated the case not so very long ago,
and became satisfied that Kelly is ac-
tually insane, SO nothing further was
done in the latter. In the petition to
the United States court asking for the
writ of habeas corpus it is set up that
the laws under which Kelly was sent to
the asylum are unconstitutional for the
reasons that he had no voice in the Sc
| lection of the jury, he was not requir-
| ed TO be present at the inquiry and was
not permitted to be represented by
counsel.

MINNESOTA.
HIS GOOD WORK RECOGNIZED
TIETH TERM AS GRAND RE-
CEIVER.
CHANGES MADE IN SOME SALARIES.
Question of Selecting am OfhciaI Or
gan to Come Up This Morning
To-day Winds 1t Up.

When the A. o. U. w. session was
called to order at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning the election of grand master
workman was the all-absorbing ques-
ton. There were but two candidates
for the position, Fred NJ. Lloyd, who
has held the position during the past
year, and Charles G. Kinds, of Shak-
opee. Both men stand high in the
A. o. u. w. Of Minnesota, and are
capable and energetic workers. There
was considerable excitement attendant
upon the election. However, it proved
to be one-sided affair, for after the
first ballot was announced the vote
stood: Lloyd, 2S9 votes, and Hinds, 9S
votes.
Mr.. Lloyds vast majority was un-
doubtedly due to the unprecedented
and successful manner in which he
handled the affairs of the A. o. u. w.
in Minnesota. 1t is an unusual thing
to re-elect a grand master workman in
this lodge, and the distinction thus
conferred upon Mr.. Lloyd is due to
his efforts in the interest of the order.
He is still a young man, but thlrty-siX
years of age, and lives in ST. Paul. The
whole day was spent in electing OIL
GERS. J. G. Tate, grand master work
man and supreme foreman, was In the
chair, and rushed the work through
with great speed. The elections resulted
as follows:
Grand Foreman-Charles G. Kinds, Shako-
pee.
Grand Recorder-Olof Olson, Willmar.
Grand Receiver. J. McCardy, st. PAU.
Grand Overseer--J. NJ. Diment, Owatonna.
Grand Guide-F. c. White, Duluth. ~
neapolis.
Outside Watchman-George Jacobs, Winona.
Trustee-P. J. Schwarg, Mantoryllle
Representatives to the Supreme Lodge-F.
NJ. Llovd. George NJ. Long and ]. NJ. Nye.
The salary of the grand master work
man was discussed, but remained at
! s., 500. The salary of the grand record
er was placed at $4,000.
The grand medical examiner will re-
ceive a fee of twenty-five cents for each
! certificate reported upon, instead OF
the annual salary of $500. The COM
mittees appointed at the several new
committees were named. 1t is very
probable the A. o. U. w. will adjourn
| today. Nearly all important business
| has been transacted, and the only mat
! ter Of Importance remaining is the
| adoption of an official organ. This will
! come UP at the opening of this morn
| ing's session. The A. 0. u. w. Guide
and the Anchor and Shield, both pub
! lished in st. Paul, are the candidates
| for this job. The paper selected will
receive $500 for the ensuing year.
Before the closing of the afternoon
| session yesterday, Hon. j. E. Butler
made farewell address. and left last
night for a weeks work among subor-
dinate lodges.
1t is more than probable that Mr..
Butler will be engaged by the Mime

MISS M,GRATH,s DEATH.
The Indications Are That She Was
Killed by Samuel LangdOn.

Killed by Samuel LangdOn.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25-There
is little doubt that Annie McGrath,
the girl who was found dead at 1926
Girard avenue, on Monday night, was
either killed as the result of a plan for
double suicide with Samuel P. Lang
don, the wealthy coal operator, or that
she alone committed suicide: The evi-
dence thus far adduced points to the
theory that Langdon took her life and
then attempted to commit suicide, but
'forsook this purpose and fed from the
house.
Prof. Lehman, who is analyzing the
contents of the stomach of Miss Nc
Grath, said: 1.-The girls death might
have been caused by morphine or ether.
There are no indications that she swal-
lowed laudanum. In the region of the
heart there were several blood clots,
but l cannot say at present whether
these could have caused DEATH"
Today Langdon sent for physician
Langdon is said to be quite Ill, but the
nature Of his Illness Is not known. It
has come to light that Miss McGrath
was engaged to be married and that she
| had been wearing a solitaire diamond
ring. This ring was found on Langdon
after his arrest, together with other
| 1ewelry belonging to the girl. Police
| Lieutenant Lyons has admitted that
| a bottle nearly filed with chloroform
/ had been found in the room in which
| the girl died. It came from a drug store
