ARRESTS IN BELGRADE.
Plot to Kill King Alexander Tomorrow Dis
covered.

Vienna. April 10.-The rumors current of a
plot against the life of King Alexander of Ser
via received apparent confirmation in private
dispatches which have been received at Buda-
pest and according TO which an attack on the
Kings life was planned for next Sunday. The
plot was discovered. and fifty persons suspected
Of completely therein were arrested Other ar
rests are expected.
Serni-officfal reports from Belgrade declare
that these runors are false. but it is thought
here that King Alexander's recent coup detat
was probably hastened by the discovery of the
alleged plot.

Indian Babies.

Babies cry very little in India-they
obey spiritual law as a flower. The
lotus bud, lying On a stone bench in a
dirty room, sucks its toe and seems
dreaming of the pranks of Baby
KrisEna, and solving problems of the
universe. AS it grows older 1t is very
timid and shy in the presence of its
elders. 1t feels the religious
around 1t and does not break out into
boisterous sport when all seems at
prayer.
But there is much love in India, and
these humble households seem very
happy. They are all In all to each
other and seek nothing outside either
in society or amusement. Beautiful
character from obedience To law
and no from lawlessness. In India
children are the browning gift OF life,
1t is a horror TO be childless.-Edmnnd
