CHILDREN THE FASHION.
Society Turns Its Attention to Little
Ones.


The dog has had his day as house
hold pet and been superseded by the
peaceful. beribbone cat, hares, mon
keys. horned toads. zen snakes have
had their fitful innings-and now it
seems that human babies are to re
ceive some share of society's atten-
ton. instead of remaining, hidden in
nurseries. as heretofore like the
typical skeletons in domestic closets.
No doubt this sudden change of pub
licly parading pets is due to the fact
that the president and his wife are
rather proud than ashamed of their
large family of children, and bring
them TO the fore on all proper oc-
casions. They are very indulgent
parents, and do not believe in keep
ing children entirely in the back
ground, nor in denying them the right
to choose their own games and pas
times-within reasonable limits.
So the Roosevelt youngster romp
through the white house. The grand
est reception of the season--that of
the diplomats-was delayed some
twenty minutes while the first lady of
the land unsnarled her youngest born
from a tangle of chairs with which
he was playing horse before their fall
and kissed all his bumps and bruises
which the kisses of a hired nurse
never could have healed and mean
while the long line of dignita,ies wait
ing in the corridor were entertained
by strains of ragtime music pounded
out of a tuneless piano somewhere
about the premises by one of the
other Roosevelt hopeful.
The other day, when the president
was entertaining half dozen guests
at luncheon in the private dining
room when one of the youngsters APP
peared on stills. Hardly had he passed
the doorsill when ne collided with a
valuable vase-which got decidedly
the worst of it in the mix-up that
ensued, being smashed to flinders,
There, now, | guess that's enough, /"
said the president, as he calmly arose
and picked up Kermit, whom he
elected from the room along with the
stills. without word of blame or re-
proof

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
May yesterday great quantities OF
burning gases and poisonous vapors
descended from Mount Pelee and the
crater of the mountain belched forth
clouds, shot with fierce flashes, adding
to the already heavy pail that has been
hanging over it's crest for the past
week. The many new assures on the
VOLCANOES side which have opened since
the eruption of Tuesday gave forth
similar gaseous matter and hot rocks
and sand are falling within a short
distance of the town.

The volcanic peaks in the neighbor-
hood of Carlet, from which an appre-
hension had been felt up to the pres
ent time, have begun to show signs of
activity and this is taken to mean the
doom of Fort de France. The one cry
of the people here is to get away from
the island and us terrors.

THIN EXCUSE.

1t beats all what excuses can b.
sometimes brought up to clear people
of high standing There was that
preacher and girl at Omaha who were
found dead in each others arms in
the formers study; a fellow has now
shown up who asserts that he had
them hypnotized and made them go
there. The professor declares
that he had frequently hyptonized and
made them perform queer pranks"
and at the last queer prank they
seemed to have died This, then,
seems to explain the somewhat per-
picking predicament of two thoroughly
good people init. Hypnotism has
had lots of things laid at its door-but
this last is ''pansy. " -Loveland

COURT INSTRUCTs FIFE Jury
Orders Either n Verdict of Murder I'm
the First or second Decree
or AcquittaI.

SAVANNAH NO. March 1s.--In the trial
OF Stewart Fife for the mysterious murder
Of Frank w. Richardson tho Instructions
were given at the night session Of court
and the arguments OF the attorneys begun.
The instructions call for verdict Of MUIR
der in the first or second 1eeree or ac-
quittal. The defense tried 70 get instruc-
tions for murder in the first doeree alone.
Prosecuting Attorney Boohr opened for
the state and reviewed the evidence by
which Fife was traced IN bis movements
the night OF the Richardson tragedy julie
A. Sanders, for the defendant. made the
point that the states evidepee had not
placed Fife nearer the Richardson house
than Kings corner on the night of the
murder. Sanders charged that the revolver
found by the Rickoff boy had been placed
under the culvert for a purpose. He de-
Tended the character OF Mrs Richardson
throughout his argument, dovcsing as much
time to her defense as to that of Fife.
The defense bases Fife's al56l upon the
evidence OF the witnesses who said they saw
him about the saloons and other places ON
the square about the time Of khe murder.
Mr.. Sanders went over the test smony care
fully. The arguments will BE- resumed to-
morrow.
When Fife was recalled 4saky the state
renewed its effort to get III tcTions evil

question. and he replied: = had nothing

There was a scene during the morning
when Fife's mother arose With exclama-
tions of contradiction to the witness on the
stand. The strain on Mrs. Fife has been
very great. The father Of the prisoner has
already broken down under Il,
