When Baby Outgrew His Curls

There are many mothers whose
hearts will echo the feelings of the Chi
cago mother who felt so badly when
the time came to cut off her baby boys
curls. She says:
His curls were beautiful, so golden
and shimmery, and I loved every one
that fell about his pretty pink should
ers. But he was growing up and he ha-
ted the curlS, as do all boys when the
other bigger ones tease them and call
them girls and babies and little sis
terS- One morning he came to me. his
eyes bright and fiery with Indignation
and his cheeks aglOw. Some playmate
had chided him for his girlish hair, and
he could endure it no longer. He stood
as firm as a rock, with feet wide apart,
and commanded me to cut them off.
This has happened often of late since
he has been strutting about in his cum
ming little trousers. His grief was real,
myself. 1 got out the big shears, and
as the first long. beautiful ringlet of
spun gold as fine as spider web fell in
to my hands he gave a little Shrek of
happiness, while I felt the hot tears
rolling down my cheeks.
When the deed was done he rushed
out of the door and down the street as
fast as his precious, fat little legs could
carry him, and I saw him plump his
fists in his absurd little pockets as he
stood-with the dignity of a hero-be-
fore his tormentors. The selfshness in
my heart at losing my baby made me
almost forget his happiness, and as I
went back to the curls the tears stream
ed faster than before. My baby had
gone from me when those curls had
dropped into my hands. My little boy
was there-and a sweet, lovable, manly
little fellow he is, with strong small
arms that cling close about my neck
but he isn't my baby any more. All
my life have 1 laughed at the foolish
mothers who tried to keep their child
rem from growing out of their babyhood
and baby ways-but 1 know now why
this is"

SNAKE STORIES
Are Beginning to Appear-The Latest
From Indiana.

Aurora, Ind. June S.-Mrs. Charles
Cole, wife of a liveryman, was attract
ed yesterday morning by peculiar
kissing and rapping in her bedroom. On
investigation she beheld a large black
snake swinging from the top of the
dresser by its tail and viciOusly fight
ing its reflection in the mirror.
Mrs. Cole called for her husband to
come and kill the reptile, but when he
appeared he could not strike at the
SWaying serpent, that continued the
combat with the shadow in the glass,
unmindful of his presence, for fear of
SCATTERING the costly mirror. He then
procured a long pole and succeeded in
diSengaging its coils from the mirror
frame and hurting it out of the open
window through which it evidently en-
tered. The fall to the ground from the
second-story room stunned but did not
kill the snake, and when Mr.. Cole
descended the stairs and reached the
yard to accomplish it's death it swiftly
glided away in the grass and escaped.
How it got into the upper room of the
house without being discovered is a
mystery to the family.

BRANDED WITH IRON
Horrible Treatment of Little Girl by
Two Boys.

New Haven, Conn, June s.-Mary
Berman, years old, daughter Of Reu-
ben Berman, is in a, serious condition
as the result of an assault which has
cost her temporarily, at least, her rea-
son, and has MANNED her for life. Across
the girls back are three long stripes,
branded by a red-hOt iron.
This was done, the girl says, by Ed
ward SedOw, IA years old, son of Rafael
Sedow. The SedOws and Germans are
neighbors and the children played to-
gether frequently.
When Mary Berman was on her way
from school she was met by young Sc
dow and a boy named Kali. In front
of SedOw's house the boys threw their
arms around her and Kali held her
while Sedow ran into the house. He
quickly reappeared with g red-hOt iron,
tore the girls dress across the back and
laid the blazing iron on her flesh Three
times he burned the child'S skin inf1ict-
ing brands which she will carry through
life. The girls shrieks and her strug
giles made it impossible for the boys to
burn any more, and she broke from their
grasp.
The girls parents consulted the city
attorney last night and the police is
sued a warrant against Sedow. Kali
is wanted as a witness, although
charge is likely to be made against him.
Neither boy has yet been found.

NIAGARA NOW AT ITS BEST
IFrom the Century Magazine.l

If Mrs Van Rensselaer's opinion is
correct, Niagara Falls will be a less
beautiful object in the year $500 than
it is today.
The Niagara River belongs to our
own era of the worlds intermediate
history, and to it alone. We may be-
that it began to cut it's way through
the higher table-land about six hun
dred years ago, or we may say with
others, thirty thousand years ago. But
even the farther end of thirty thousand
years is a geological yesterday; and if
it is true that the falls will stand well
back of the head of Goat Island in five
or six hundred years, this very near
tomorrow. Moreover, the finest phase
of Niagara's life belongs to the geoIog-
ical today. 1t is at it's very best now
that Goat Island is the central feature
of the falls. Before they reached it
they must have formed a single undi-
vided and relatively narrow cataract
or series of cascades; and after it's up
per end is left behind there can never
again be such a combination of diverse
ajesties and loneliness.
Only for the half mile along Goat
Islands side are there divided yet fra
ternal channels filled with shining,
shouting rapids. When it has been left
behind, the wide river, flowing over an
almost level bed, will approach it's cliff
quite calmly, and will calmly make it's
plunge, like a mill-Stream over a dam.
And this fOrestclad island. lifted high
and set in a fortunate elbow of the
river-bed, gives views which other,
farther upstream, can ever afford. 1t
separates and yet unites the cataracts.
Now it puts the eye above them and
again it brings them quite close. With
the islets that lie near it, it gives out
looks up both the streams of rapids and
the placid river beyond them, across the
gorge and down its length, and ath-
wart the one fall and the other; and
most of these views it entrances in dra-
peries of luxuriant green. Truly, the
pilgrims of a later day will not see the
Niagara, the marvel that belongs to
US.

GOT $4,000 FROM A BANK.
Louisville Institution Victimized by
Two Shrewd Rogues.

Louisville, KY, June s.-The German
Insurance Bank of this city was vic
timized out of So 900 yesterday by two
well dressed young men, who worked
a neat game. Just before the hour for
closing the bank the assistant cashier
of the German Insurance Bank was
rung up by the telephone and asked if
he could accommodate the Citizens Ma
tional Bank with $1,000 in currency. On
being answered in the affirmative, the
inquiring party said he would send two
men around to get the money.
Shortly afterward. two young men
appeared at the bank with a check for
$4,000 bearing the putative signature of
the cashier of the Citizens National
Bank. The assistant cashier, suspect
ing nothing wrong, counted out the
money to the young men, who were
profuse in their thanks as they accepted
the money.
When the check reached the clearing
house today it was discovered to be a
forgery. The police are working dill
igently on the case.

ROW OVER CYRANO'S NOSE.
Mansf1eld's Dresser Lost It and the
Actor Struck Him.


Milwaukee. Wis, June S.-"Cyrano's"
nose was responsible for a lively scene

Mansfield had. he claimed, planted a sharp
blow The nose was found, but the

BROTHER FIGHTS BROTHER
Three Men Killed in a Double Duel in
Arkansas.

Fayetteville. Ark. June S.-The double
duel fought Monday evening at Stricken,
in this county, still shrouds the commun-
ity in gloom. Jim Herrick and John Hin
kle. who fought the first duel and who
were each instantly killed, were buried
today.
The battle occurred in Hinkle's home
and Herrick was the aggressor. The
younger Herrick, seeing his brother slain,
assaulted the other Hinkle with club.
HinExle, in turn, used a knife, and fatally
stabbed Herrick, who died this morning.
The surviving actor in the bloody trag-
edy is in a fearfully bruised condition.
He is in the custody of the officials and
the physicians deem his condition not
alarming. Prosecutor Walker states that
a preliminary trial will be held on Fri
day.
The duel between the younger men was
by far more fierce than that between the
elder brothers. They were in close COM
bat, one using a club, While the other.
with a small penknife, was cutting to
death his assailant- Several persons were
near the scene, but the tragedy was enact
ed before it was possible to interfere.
The combatants had been close friends
and We're jointly engaged in the traffic
of live stock. Their speculations were
considerable and trouble arose from an
unsatisfactory settlement of recent
transaction The parties were all known
to be dangerous men and We're avoided
by peaceable citizens. The two younger
men were unmarried.

Beecher's Theories of Public Speaking
dustin Mccarthy in the Youths Com
paniOn.1

lJuSt1n MCCARTHY in the YOutnS COM
paniOn.
Mr.. Beecher had many theories about
the art of public speaking and the way
of managing an audience. He used to
advise less experienced orators to begin
in rather a low tone, so as to catch
hold of the watchful attention of the
meeting. and then, when that attention
was secured, to let the voice go as far
as it would.
1 have heard other orators advise a
man about to address a great meeting
to begin with the full strength and
clearness of the voice, so as to give the
audience the comfort of knowing from
the very first sentence that they would
have no difficulty in following all he
was likely to say. I do not know
whether there are any theories really
valuable in the art of oratory- really
valuable, I mean, as applicable to all
sorts of men.
remember Mr.. Beecher giving me
some suggestions once as to this man
agement of a great American public
meeting, and L remember. too, that
felt constrained to reply: II am sure all
this is quite right and practicable, if
you could only endow me with your
voice and your electric power and your
superb control over masses of men,

TURTLE STOPS TRAFFIC.
Big Sea Terrapin Created Trouble on
Broadway, N. 2

New York, June S.-A' turtle stopped
traffic in front of the Imperial hotel on
Broadway for fifteen minutes today
The turtle was part of a consignment of
live Holsters, soft shell crabs, and other
shellfish which a dealer was taking to
the hotel The driver left his wagon
for a moment and the horse dashed
across Broadway, colliding with
truck. In an instant the cable car
tracks were covered with shellfish. A
big sea turtle was seen slowly pro-
polling itself up Broadway. A fin of
the turtle caught in the slot and traffic
stopped. Strong men volunteered to re-
lease the fin, and many expedients were
suggested and rejected.
While walters. policemen, angry pas
sengers. conductors. and gripmen were
wrangling the turtle opened one eye,
withdrew its fin, and again started up
Broadway. 1t was quickly tossed into
a WAGON.
