From the New York World.
An admiring circle of neighbors sat
around Mrs. Ellen Regain of No. s
Third street, Clifton Park. Weehaw-
ken, yesterday as she trotted her in
FAINT daughter on her knee and tried
by "baby talk" to still the cries of
the cherub.
But baby yelled still louder. Mrs. Re-
gan stopped, smothered the little ones
faces with kisses, and, holding her at
arms length, began again:
Does she want sugar plum? Who
is this that lights the wigwam? We
will make her laugh! Goo goo!''
ooh, what little dear!" exclaimed
the neighbors in chorus.
She's her mothers cunning little pet.
Goo goo!" said Mrs. Reagan.
Then she suddenly stopped, her
mouth wide open and her chin fallen
and immovable. She stared helplessly
around at her friends, and then put
the baby violently upon the floor and
seized her jaw. 1t would not move. She
tried to speak, to explain, but could
not.
Then, with her tongue moving help
lessly and making a gurgling sound in
her throat, she started from the house.
One of the neighbors picked up the
now laughing infant and followed,
while other neighbors brought up the
rear. Mrs. Regain rushed into the
Broadway Pharmacy and made mute
gestures at Harry Gray Ekins, the
proprietor.

exclaimed, and telephoned for DR..

solidly upon the point of the chin,

baby. when l talk to you again

One of Edward Kelly's aversions was

to appear as tall as his wife. Ambi-

days when the couple walked to church
together, Then you might see Eddie"
as he was generally called, wearing the
tallest silk hat that could be bought,
yet even then the crown hardly reach
ed to Mrs. Kelly's chin. The Commo-
dore was erect and of solid flesh, look
ing as hard as nails, as the phrase
goes. A glance at his splendid
physique would convince you that no
cold could seriously affect him. But
IL seems that these sturdy-looking men
are the ones who go suddenly and with
out warning.

fact that such a boy was seen on the
highway near Chastain last Friday.
One witness testified to having met
boy in the road near that place on
Friday The boy was excited and in a
hurry, saying he was going to Thorn
asville. A little behind the boy, this
witness met an unknown white man
on bicycle going in the same direc-
ton as the boy. The man had a
Winchester strapped to his back. At
a farm house some children were ask
ed by this man if they had seen ne
gro boy pass.
