Baby Wouldn't Scare Worth q Cent
There is cool-headed baby in Sherwood, Bal
timore county, who only smiles and looks
amused when its mother and father and sisters
scream with fear.
A stage coach crowded with girls and boys
and older folk was returning to Sherwood
from a wedding at an early hour Thursday
morning when the horses ran into ditch on
WoodbOurne avenue, Govanstown, and the
| coach was turned over.
The mother had the baby in her arms anc
| was at the bottom of the screaming, scram
| bling herd of humanity. When the crash
came the crowd bad been singing the "WilC
Irish Rose and the mother had been leaning
over and whispering sweet things into th'
baby's ears. When the mother was thrown
forward she drew the baby close to her Dreas
| and thus protected it.
After ali the men had helped the ladies on
| of the overturned coach all were surprised U
| find that no one was injured. What scenes
most remarkable of all was the fact that tn
| baby was not frightened by the fall or tn
screaming, but smiled and c0oed when Ian
tern was flashed in its face.-Odd Tales, IN Bal
