Harold Baker, age Is, telegraph mes
senger boy of Flushing L. l., full of devil
try and all meanness, put up an alleged
joke on little George Hardy and handed
| it out to him. Harold took an apple, cut
recess in it, which he filed with cayenne
pepper and then placed the skin of the
! apple back so that it looked as tho it
was all right He then gave the apple
! to Georgia who took a bite and got his
little tender mouth full Of the pepper.
i The little boys sufferings were awful DR..
Hicks was hurriedly summoned, but the
I boy had fifteen commissions before the
I doctor reached him. The ambulance was
then summoned and the boy was removed
/, to the Flushing hospital. Georges father
was out after Harold with a club the next
morning, but he learned that speedy retri-
the evening before, the very evening of his
diabolical plot At 10 o'clock Harold had
started out of the Main street station to
deliver message. Just as he got in the
middle of the roadway he was stepped on
!. by a runaway horse. His bicycle was
smashed and he was painfully bruised
where the horse stubbed his toe on him
While we are not exactly glad of it, our
sorrow over the accident is not acute.

The latest idea in entertaining halls
i from Paris, where they are making use
of Illuminated dishes. AT a dinner the
soup and trimmings are served as usua
in a brilliantly lighted apartment, and
! then, to the CONSERVATION of people who
/ are new to the idea. the light goes out
Then the door opens and the servants
come in carrying brilliantly illuminated
4 dishes containing the fish, and as eacf
guest takes his or her portion they helr
themselves to light at the same time
and when everyone is served the effect
. is fairylike. This serves not, only to tickle
!, the palate but the artistic sense as well
!, This is all very well if'fyou can go into
I it, but one Of the best illuninants for 8
dish we know is a good rich slab Of steak
, and an appetite. No frills.
