MISSOURI A NEWS.
Mother Dies with Child in Arms.

With her baby clasped tightly in
her arms Mrs. Belle West, of Shady
side, st. Louis county, was found dead
IN bed. The infants cries awoke her
aunt, who aroused the father when
the death was discovered. Mrs. West
was 20 years old and the mother Of
four children. Just exactly when Mrs.
West died is not known, but it was
some time between 10 p. m. and 4 a.
m. She retired apparently in good
health. Her baby is only month
old and she took her in her arms be-
fore going to sleep. The rest of the
family retired about the same hour
and were not disturbed until the baby
began to cry the next morning. AL
though the father, James West, was
sleeping in the same bed with his
wife and baby, he did not hear the
latter's cries until his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Lizzie West, called to him. West
tried to arouse his wife, but she did
not stir. Then he took hold of her
and found her cold in death.
Says Mrs. Nessenhener is insane.
Says an item from Hannibal: Coron-
er James Clayton, whose jury has fin
ished the inquest over the body of
Baby Howard Nessenhener, whose
death, the jury decided, was due to
rarbolic acid poisoning through the
carelessness of his mother, Mrs. Alice
Nessenhener, will go before the coun-
ty court at its session and ask that
Mrs. N~essenhener be sent to an asy-
lum for the insane on the grounds
that she is of unsound mind. This
was decided upon by him as a result
Of his careful investigation into the
Ease.

Piercing 8 GIazier.

The problem of piercing glacier
by means of boring has at last been
solved, says the New York Sun. with
results of real scientific interest in ex-
periments made last August on gia-
cier near Vent, in the TyrOl At a
distance Of about one and quar-
ter miles from the top of the glacier
where its breadth is nearly twenty
two hundred feet and the height of its
surface above the sea level nearly
eighty-six hundred feet. boring in the
middle reached rock at Il depth Of five
hundred feet. Taken along with meas
urements of rate of movement, surface
melting and temperature the expert
ment enabled the following conclusions
to be drawn: First-the temperature
of the ice is at the melting point
throughout the whole mass on the
tongue of the glacier. Sec0nd-the bed
of the glacier is trough-shaped Third
the ice moves more slowly at the
bottom than at the surface. The bore
holes We're filled up with pieces of
wood, which will serve for many years
TO come as indexes of the rate of
movement and of surface melting.

MOTHER OF SIXTEEN CHILDREN

Case in Which Poverty 10 No Bar to
Happiness.
In little white cottage that stands
upon an elevated piece of ground facing
the river bed, and known as 15S North
Myers street, lives Mrs. Claus Henry
Koch and thirteen of her sixteen chill
dren. Three boys have left the home
stead and are in Eastern cities pre-
pairing for lives Of future usefulness.
One is studying for the ministry and
the other two are working their way
through college.
Mrs. Koch Is robust and healthy,
with that sincere, earnest way Of ex-
pressing herself that leaves not the
shadow of doubt in ones mind as
to her veracity, and when the writer
called to ask If she would furnish
him with some data concerning her
large brood she smiled radiantly.

1T was twelve years ago that we set

Angeles. Chris built sort of shack
back of the house here and we ar
ranged berths in it for the biggest Of
our children. There never was men,
Der of the family who used tobacco
or LIQUOR, and to-day, although we have
to work very hard to make ends meet,
our home is most happy one. My
eldest daughter is cooking for a bailer
crew at present and two Of the boys
work regularly and help me with their
earnings. Occasionally, when times are
hard, 1 go out to days work myself,
but there is so much to be done at
home that the children try hard to ar
range things SO that 1 can remain
here"
So far as is known this family is the
largest in Southern California, certain
ly the largest in Los Angeles. The
children are all strong and healthy;
four attend school now, and the others
have all had a common school educa-
ton. No mother ever displayed great

offspring than did this fond parent.

One day, in the midst of fierce battle.
the major rode up in front of the regi.
