years old, lost his life yesterday fore
noon by falling into deathtrap left un-
covered by workmen in lot on De Haro
street, between Twenty second and

Some other little children saw the baby

and too small to save little Alexander
from drowning. They ran and told the
child 8 mother what had happened. When
she arrived OF the brink of the water hole
she saw the body of her baby lying at the

The hole was made by neighbors who
have been working on Sundays building q
house for one OF their mum ber There
was four feet of surface water in the we'll
and 1t was used for mixing mortar
The chid's death is due 10 the careless
ness of the workmen in leaving the we'll
uncovered and without any barrier TO
keep children of the neighborhood from
falling into 1T.
Coroner Hawkins has taken charge OF
the body and an inquest will be held.

AthletIe. and Health.

There is popular deluslon that an

ment is not an affair of the constftu-
ton; it is an accident. pure and sim
pie. Strong limbs are frequently 10
be found associated with a weak
heart. and many a strong man dies of
consumption. II health may be de-
fined as capacity for hanging on TO
life, then in many cases the weakest
are the healthiest. II such a defini-
tion is accurate. women are healthier
than men, their average length of
days being greater. 1t is doubtful,
however. II centenarians. merely be-
cause they are centenarians. are ahso-
lutely the healthiest. 1t is as hard to
say what life is as to say what health
is, and the way in which unhealthy
people are tenacious of life is not sur

tomorrow WAS now. But the thing Is
