Child Killed THROUGH a Prank.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 31.-In a,
small white coffin in the home of his
parents lies the body of little John
Clark, a 5-year- boy, who died last
as the victim of a Christmas celebra-
ton.
The inquest showed that the child's
death was due to acute alcoholism
which was brought ON by liquor given
selves had imbibed too freely of wine
and whiskey making merry on
Christmas day.
The boy was a pretty fair-haired
little fellow and was son of Eliza
Thurston and a stepson of Sonnie
ThurstOn. Thurston came into pos
session of a jug of wine and a quart
bottle of whisky and he and his wife
INDUCED freely after the Christmas
celebration.
After the couple had become
thoroughly intoxicated they piled the
CHILD freely with liquor. He soon be-
came drunk, but the father held him
up while the mother poured more
liquor down his throat. Some time
later the boy was found unconscious.
DR.. Talbot was called in and did
all that he could to save the little
lads life, but the poison had taken
too deep a hold. After lingering for
several days the little fellow became
Inconsistencies and did not regain
possession of his senses before death,
which finally ensued from commissions.
Following the coroner's inquest both
parents have been arrested. Both
express repentance and cOntrition and
are deeply grieved over the result of
their drunken prank. Neighbors are
very indignant and threaten them
with driving them out of the commu-
nifty in case they escape punishment.
This is the first case in the history
Of the state where a child has died
from alcoholism.

The work of all employees of the court

THIRD RAIL CASE DECISION.
The Supreme Court Holds AGAINST

suit in which decision has been
handed down by the state supreme
court.

sons of common experience may be
expected to come in contact with them,

else such a degree of care as to warn
and protect the people from danger
The decision arose from an accident
on the Seattle Tacoma interurban
railway.
On the Sunday following the open
ing OF the road Oscar Anderson, of
Seattle, boarded an interurban car at
Tacoma for Seattle. having a round
trip ticket. He jumped on the. wrong
side of the car and the conductor re-
fused to open the vestibule to let him
in. He was repeatedly ordered off.

from Tacoma he stepped off to run
around the car to get aboard. The
car started Immediately letving him

1t was after dark at the time, and
his business required his immediate
return to Seattle. He accordingly
started to walk back to Tacoma, came
in contact with the third rail, the ma
ture of which he did not understand,
and received the full current. Partial
paralysis followed after he became
conscious again. He brought suit
against the company for damages. but
was nonsuted in the superior court of

tributary negligence.

"No race can rise higher than its
mothers" Admiration is expressed for
the achievements of the men of Japan.
The mistake should not be made OF
thinking that the women of Japan are
nonentities, slaves of their husbands,
upper servants of their hou sehold, dolls,
playtaings, a. l have heard them many
times described. The japanese women
have not had the same educational
advantages as the men and consequent
ly really have never had true oppor-
tunity to develop their higher facul-
ties. Nevertheless, such opportunities
as they have had they have made the
most of. and despite their often even
illiterate condition, they have cultivat
ed unconsciously in themselves a per-
sonal standard that is shown in their
teaching of their children.
The husband takes no part in the
early training of his children. He
leaves them, unquestioningly, to his
wife. assured that she will instil in
