Thoy picked him up. He was dead.
They were not sure of it--so the car
was sent along at its best spool intil the
Office of DIR. Allison was reached. On
the way the body of the conductor rested
leDgthwise of ole of the seats.
One glance sufficed to show DIR. Allison
that life had departed. On examination
no found that the skull of the victim had
been crushed and that death was almost
instantaneous. Hersey had fallen head
foremost, for there were no marks on any
other part of the body. The blow on the
head must have been tremendous con-
sidering the speed the car was going.

GIVE IT WATER.

AS has been said, baby has no Ian
guage but cry. A baby's cry should
be interpreted as his only method OF
making mis- wants known. What other
way can a baby communicate his
wishes and desires TO those around
him. Some say that child that can
not talk should have no desires or
wishes to make known, but notwith-
standing this assertion we know that
they do wish to communicate TO those
around them when but a few months
old Children OF much individuality
however young, try to be understood
long before they have mastered even
one word Of language. Whenever a
baby cries those who have charge II
him should try 10 discover what Is the
cause Rest assured there is a cause.
A great many little babies cry Tor
water. Just drink Of water. Every
child needs water TO drink Some
people seem to forget the great loss OF
water to baby's little body through the
exhalation Of the breath and through
the skin also The loss needs to be
supplied by water MIX Is not sub
stltute. II child cries because OF
thirst and he IL given milk. he will
usually stop crying for a time. but he
does not feel thoroughly satisfied until
he has the water Some children seem
70 need more water than other chill
dren, just as some adults seem to need
more water than others, Even when
first born, It is now considered best to
begin by giving baby teaspoonful Of
water
