From inside the brilliantly.lighted

the sound Of laughter and cheer. One
man is said to have sought the same

dreadful disaster.
In the days Immediately following
the lroquois fire II was universally
agreed that IL would forever be i'm.

to be inconceivablc that human beings

An eminent psychologist has sought
to explain the meaning of this change

tell us that sentiment is subject to

Why did the public say that it would

the hands of the boy. The tragedy oc-
Hurred in the family of Nicholas Rob
inson, at NyaCk. y. y. Since the lit
lie girl came. a month ago the boy eN-
hibited many times evidences Of jeal-
GUS rage. When attempts were made
to interest him in the little one, ha
frequently ran away, crying and once
he upset the cradle
Finally, he was left alone for a few
minutes in the room where the baby
lay asleep. The boy was playing with
Q small bronze statue. Suddenly he
cried to his mother. Hurry, look at
the baby" She ran into the room and
found the Statuette covered with blood.
The baby's skull had been fractured
and she was dead when the doctors ar.
rived. At least six bruises were found
on the head, all OF which were struck
before the mother was called.
After an inquest the coroner said:
1T was remarkable instance of in
fantile crime. The boy evidently
thought he had been supplanted in the
affections Of his parents, The latter
deserve great sympathy but rendered
the only verdict possible that the
baby was killed by her brother, whose
tender age makes him irresponsible
for the deed "
When asked where his sister was,
after the funeral, the boy replied;
