with loose hay and baled hay, and it
is thought that he accidentally started
the fire by lighting a match. The fire
broke out near the stairway, cutting
off the boys only exit.
Shut in the loft with the raging fire
before him and the piles of hay about
him Earl was suffocated, and falling
to the floor became a prey of the
flames. His clothing was burned from
his body, and his flesh was reduced to
crisp. All that remained of the boy s
clothing were the soles Of his shoes,
which lay beside the charred feet when
the body was found.
The fire had eaten it's way through
the roof of the barn before it was dis
covered. John F. Reilly, foreman Of
the United States Express barn, was
the first to see the blaze. He rushed
to the burning barn and was closely
followed by F. H. Jerue, who was
working on Rosabel street. Together
the two men opened the door and took
out the horses and then carried out a
number of harnesses.

eminent an authority as DR.. George F.
Shrady, the editor OF the Medical Rec

he had known of only one woman that
stammered, and when asked how he
accounted for the immunity of the fair
sex from this afiiction he replied:
"Stammering is an epileptic affection
of the organs OF speech. and the victim
is usually a person OF a high-strung.
excitable temperament. At the last an
alysis the cause lies in the mind: that
Is, the Stammerer stammers because
he fears he will stammer and thus make
himself ridiculous.
"Stammering is due to self-conscious-

that women seldom suffer from self
consciousness. Social success is more
necessary TO cir happiness than II is

FELL ASLEEP, AWOKE
AS Cow LICKED FACE
Barber Deserted Customer-Ani-
NAL Invaded Shop.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 1O.-When a sober
man falls asleep in BARRIERS chair and
awakes to find cow licking his face.
he will be excused If he shows fright.
That happened to customer OF
George j. Graiser, barber, of 500 Light
Street, yesterday morning. The victim
of the cows earesses may be running
yet. for all Graiser knows.
1t was 7o'clock when the stranger en-
tered, and. remarking that he guessed
he would be shaved before going to
bed threw himself into the chair and
went fast asleep. Graiser had partly
lathered him when Mrs. Graiser in
formed the barber that breakfast was
ready.
AS Graiser was hungry and as his GUS
toner was snoring contentedly, the bar
Der went after cup of coffee. His
back was hardly turned when a COW
wandered in. 1t strolled up to the chair
where the sleeping customer lay and
began to stroke the mans face with
its rough tongue.
The sleeper awakened. gave one
scream and darted for the door.
The eommotion brought the Graisers.
AS they rushed in the COW. whose nerves
had already been somewhat upset, made
a rush 10 get out, and in doing so
knocked down a stove. upturned two
barber chairs. and demolished mirror
that cost Graiser $40.
Graiser later discovered the owner Ct
the COW. and has presented bin for the
damage. which he estimates at S125.

the heavier garb for the lightweight
khaki. which was issued 70 them Just
previous 70 the annual encampment at

worn Thursday, because the khaki
would be entirely too cold and uncom-
Portable for parade on a bleak October

next few months. and every effort will
be made to bring all the commands up
70 a high standard OF efficiency.

Of smoke was eddying round his head.

they should be all changed by act of

to have for his acquaintance an assort-

Mr. Derringer greeted me agreeably,
but he seemed not to be a loquacious

I had ever before known him to be.
