With a Yoman's mouth and eyes
Then love you as my own,
Calm and level eyed, serene.
With a passion sober grown,

Meath my cheek, my child to kiss
With little heart to heal

floor of the building was gutted.
Sergeant LYDIA and Policeman Flenni-
ken were among the first to reach the
burning house afte. an alarm had been
turned In. When they arrived neighbors
told them that The Jefferson woman was

frcnt door and struggling through the
smoke and flames found the aged woman
in rear room. She was carried to the

BILE for her relief. The loss to the build

The State Department is about to take
steps to secure the removal of the body
of the late Consul Henry NJ. Hunt. who
died at his post in Antigua. West Indies.

ties of the island have refused to permit

per man in Chicago prior 10 his appoint
ment as Consul at Antigua, nearly three
years ago He was connected with sew
eral Chicago journals and was manager
of the United Press up to the time OF
its dlscontinuance. Afterward he main
tained a news bureau OF his own and
achieved much distinction as 4 political

qua about four weeks ago. the report at
the time being that he died of uraeric
poison. Mrs Hunt. who was in Chicago
at the time went to Antigua, where she
learned that her husbands 5 death was due
to sunstroke. There is statute proyid-
ing for the return to this country of the

tiyes who die abroad, and under this Law
Mrs. Hunt sought to have the body of her
husband brought home for burial. but this
right was denied her She called at the
State Department on Saturday and placed

in the hands of a new Consul. who is
shortly to sail for Antigua. and it is be-
lieved that the request fer the dsinter-
ment and removal of the body will be
