THE APPARENT REASON.


DOtty sat on a stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book. There were angels and cherubims
and harpists galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic
ture in the book was Of dozen or more
angels floating ON the clouds. Above the
head of each shone the symbolic halo
Those halos bothered Dotty. She had
never seen such a head dress and she was
perplexed.
After a minutes thought she held the
book up to her mother and said: See.
mamma, the ladies what's got wings and
funny things on their heads
The mother looked. Those are angels,
dear she said
And what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal the child asked
Those are halos. Dotty."
Does they wear them always mamma
Does all angels wear them?f
Yes. Dotty All angels wear them and
they wear them all the time.
When theys in tie house,"
Yes, DottY.'
When theys asleep"
Yes.
- guess they wears their halos all the
time, mamma, cause they re afraid If
they took en- off and hung EN- on the hat
rack they'd get broke, don't they?"

Girl In
Clinton
BURNED TO DEATH
Daring Attempted Highway
Robbery Failed.

Clinton, Dec A match in the
hands of little George McGown, at the
home OF his parents. Mr., and Mrs Will
liam McGown, was responsible for the
death of little Maggie McGown. Be
tween and 10 o'clock this morning
George, who is five years old, and his
little sister Maggie, three and one-half
years old, were playing about the living
rooms of the house
George was busily engaged in burn
ing matches. He would light match,
allow il to burn as long as possible,
and then drop it. Finally a match
broke and the lighted end burned his
fingers. Involuntarily he threw the
match from him. and in its descent it
fell upon the clothing of the little girl
In fifty the gown of the little girl
was in flames, and an instant later she
was enyeloped by the fatal fire from
feet to head. The child's screams were
something frightful, and rescue came
as quickly as possible, but too late, as
the child was already horribly burned
DR. J. J. Goodwin. who CHANGED to
be passing the house, was promptly
called in. He found the little one
writing in agony. the skin scorched
burned and roasted in places, hanging
in shreds from the entire body. Her
clothing had been almost completely
burned away. Dr. Goodwin applied
such temporary relief as was possible.
shortly however, the little one was
lifted tenderly and taken by carriage
to the Clinton hospital. Here she re-
ceived every care possible, but to no
purpose. The little one fingered until
3 O'Clock this afternoon, suffering aw-
full agony, when death came to her res
cue.
The remains were taken to the home
of the parents at 115 Green street. The
mother was with her baby girl in her
last moments. The mental sufferings of
the mother were almost as terrible to
witness as the torture of the child.
Little George realizes what has hap
pened to his sister, and the poor boy
simply refuses to be comforted. The
little girl was q winsome cherub, and
the pride not only of the household, but
the entire community, and there is a
feeling here tonight of the deepest sym
PATTY for the afflicted parents.
