He was kneeling at her bedside when the
supreme moment came-supreme for

to the brow of the woman he idolixed.
All the love of his life surged about his
heart in uncomfortable grief, and, wind
ing his arms about the lifeless body, he
showered kisses upon her brow, her eyes,
her hair, her hands. and, with a great
heart bursting sob. went out OF the room.

SAVES THREE LIVES.



Drowning Companions.
Norfolk, Va, Sept. 12.-vertie Griggs,
II years old, daughter OF the light
house keeper at Cape Henry, yesterday
saved three girl companions from
drowning. The rescued are Rosa Free
land. Nina Russell and Priscilla Rus
sell, all OF Virginia.
The young life-saver herself had a
narrow escape from drowning, and the
rescues were the most daring that have
taken place on the Virginia coast for
years. How she accomplished it the
heroine alone can tell. The rescues
were made in plain sight Of the Cape
Henry life-saving station.
Miss Griggs and the party went bath
ing directly in front of the station. At
this point there is q shelving beach, and
the girls, not being aware of the sharp
declivity, stepped beyond their depth.
There was heavy sea on. and all were
at once carried out.
A heavy swell cast Miss Griggs upon
a shoal. where she regained her footing,
and saw her companions struggling
with the waves. The girl, who is an
excellent swimmer daringly made her
way through the big waves, and one by
one brought the young women ashore.
Then she began the work of resuscita-
ton.
When the guests at the Princess Anne
hotel, six miles up the beach, learned of
the brave rescues, they focked to the
cape and overwhelmed the girl with
congratulations. Her simple reply was:
II did what any girl would have done
under the circumstances

A GOOD SERMON.
Hut the Reporter Made Natural
Miatake About Itn Tonic

hut the Reporter Made q Natural
Mistake About It's Topic.
A well known Milwaukee newspaper
man, the hero of the tale, was confront
ed one Sunday evening many years ago
with problem which the reporter FREE
quently encounters-namely, how to get
three half hour assignments into one
hours time To dispose of two within
that period was not difficult, but when
at . o'clock the task of covering a SER
mon delivered some 10 minutes before
presented itself the problem became
more involved. The minister could not
be reached, nor could any OF the congre-
cation be located; consequently he chose
the one alternative open, which was to
take the subject announced in the morn
ing paper and build up notice from
that. Whether or not this was wise is
immaterial; the fact remains that he ex-
amined the files on his return to the
Office, found that the Rev. MIR. Smith
would speak on Gambling" and set
about to flake" his story.
Now, ordinarily-that is, perhaps-a
brief notice might be made with some
degree of safety with the material at
hand, but in this instance the stock
theme of gambling proved too great q
temptation to resist. With laudable
ambition to display his versatility, the
reporter started to construct sermon
of his own, picturing the evils of the vice
under discussion in fearless fashion
and even employing direct quotations to
lend vividness to his account The story
when completed was gem, and the
newspaper man turned his copy in with

And now comes the pathos which this
tale involves. The Rev. Mr. Smith call.

sALTlNe BABIES.
A Practice, shll Followed, That Goe.
Back to Bible Times.

Sailing newly born infants, prac-
tice that dates far back to Biblical times,
Still obtains in many parts of the old
world. The Armenians in the Russian
government OF Eriwan cover the whole
surface of the BABIES body with fine salt,
especial care being taken with the inter-
stices between the fingers aud all depres-
sions, such as the armpit and the bend Of
the knee, 30 that no point shall remain
unsalted.
The unhappy infant is left in the salt
for three hours or longer and is then
bathed in warm water.
The Armenians of some districts, having
abandoned the practice, are called "un-
sailed" and are despised by the others.
rhe modern Greeks also sprinkle their
babes with salt. II an enlightened moth
er protests, the midwife is ready with the
objection, But il it isn't sailed it will
be puny and will never amount to any
thing"
II this salting process is carried to ex-
cess, the poor babes don't stand it at all.
The skin becomes as red ms fire. the irri-
tation is intolerable, and the child dies in
commissions. Yet there is mountain

is rubbed behind the child's ears. in 9TH

people say. and wards off evil spirits.
The action of salt in keeping meat

Mere Bow in jail a Month.

Fond du Lac. Wis, Sept. 12.-After
spending month in jail at this place
little Fred stillman, an 11-year-old
boy, was yesterday taken to Green
Lake county by Sheriff Merrill to be
examined in regard to his stealing So
cents worth of ice cream.
A month ago the boy went to an ice
cream dealerin Berlin and got some of
the cooling mixture and had 1t charged
to another party.
Soon after this he was arrested and
committed to Jail in Fond du Lac to
await the term of court here, which

The boy was held in jail with some
criminals Of the worst stamp and
stayed in the same corridors with them,
listening to stories of crimes of the
worst kind. He will be returned to his
father in Oshkosh.
