This One Was Not a Baby.

The finding of a dead baby in the
south part of town last Friday even
ing revived a IN which was cur
rent a few weeks ago to the effect
that a dead baby had been found on
the road north of town. This alleged
dead baby was discovered by Mr..
Sheldon, who reported the matter to
the authorities, but when search was
made for it, it could not be found. II
now appears that DR.. Asher had re-
moved a tumor from a cow at Blue
Hill, and was carrying it around with
him for exhibition purposes. He lost
the tumor somewhere on the road
north of town, but did not take the
trouble to hunt for it.. Thus it was
that the story of the finding of the
first baby got started.

There was n misunderstanding in
regard to the terms of the opera house.
Prior to this year the terms have been
twenty-five dollars a night. But on
previous years the rehearsing has been
continued much longer than this year.
In view of this the terms offered are
$50 a night instead of $25, as was
stated in these columns last week.
The management of the opera house
offered to allow the use of the house
on a 25 per cent basis-the same terms
offered to travelling troupes.

Boy Whose Clothes We're
Stolen Hid Fifteen Hours
MARTYR TO MoDESTl
After Weary Night in the Water Little
Johnny Is Rescued, Provided With
0yeralls and Care Fare and
Sent Home to Explain.


After fifteen hours In the water be-
meath Coney Island pier John b.
Dixon of Mckinney street, Brooklyn,
fifteen years old and naked, was fished
out feeling like a bunch Of seaweed.
After he had been rugged out in pair
OF overalIs and nickel for car fare
had been thrust in his pucSered hand
he was sent home not much the worse
for his adventure.
Johnny reached Coney Island about
2:30 IN the afternoon and buried his
clothes Iii the sand while he took a
swim When he went to get them a
great hole yawned oininously. Johnny
waded a long distance down the
beach and was not far from the
Dreamland pier when a shout from a
beach patrol, who suspected the extent
Of Johnny's attire, alarmed the boy.
Though already he WIS tired out, he
swan with quick strokes to a hiding
place under the pier.
For several hours he chung to post
aud puzzled about what to do. It was
plain to him. he says. that even II he
successfully got past the patrol he
could not 20 far without clothes. He
would he caught and arrested, and
when he returned home all Mckinney

He was positive that any programme
Involving arrest would never do,

part. Tie noises In the pleasure pal.
aces close al hand became more and
more subdued, Tired feet dragged
overhead toward the end Of the pier.
The last Of the boats from New York
steamed UP. Johnny was clinglng To
his pillar, his eyes closed, when the
swell rolling IN splashed him in the
face. The passengers trooped aboard,
aud then came shrill whistle and the
sound Of the churning Of the wheels.
BY the light OF the vessel be could see
the white foam beating away from her
sides, She turned and headed away,
and Johnny watched her green and red
lights twinkle OFF into the darkness

from the pier. He put all his strength
into cry for help, but the only answer
was the laprsng Of the waves on the
posts around him.
How he lasted through the long hours
OF tie night I'm the first streaks Of
light to the east told him day was near
Johnny does not know. lie did not feel
much or think much. He simply chung
there, he says, in daze5 and as the
tide rose and fell mechanically hitched
his body up and down the post. He be-
came numb 70 sounds and after awhile
ceased to feel cold. He Just hung on,
waiting not for day. but for death, and
In that manner came through the hour
OF black darkness up TO dawn.
When the first rays Of the sun danced
from the horizon over the waves the
boy hardly could believe the truth.
That he had actually chung to that
post the whole night through was to
him Incredible. But with returning
light he plucked up hope, swan to n
nearby spite, then to another and be-
gan 10 wonder how he was going to
account for his absence overnight II
he ever got back TO Mckinney street.
1t was a little before 6 when Temp
kIns, an engineer on the pier, came to
work, The boy gave wild shout, and
that time he was heard In ten min
utes he was being hauled up with a
rope fastened beneath his armplts.
The engineers overalls came nearly up
to Johnny's neck, and his legs seemed
TO be IN bags, but by holding them up
with his hands he managed to walk,
and, as he said. anything was good
enough 10 get home in.

Colonel Churchill
of Cornish

"TMN HE scholar in politics. is
N familiar phrase. but ''the au-
III thor in politics. is n phrase
which still possesses SOME
novelty, in this country at least. An
idea has prevailed that all the authors
IN politics are from Indiana. The fact
that Booth Harrington and some other
Hoosiers noted in the literary world
have dabbled in politics forms a basis
for the impression, but it now proves
that Indiana has no monopoly of the
article New Hampshire has an au-
thor politician, too, and he is no less
a literary parsonage than Winston
Churchill. Mr. ChurchiIrs latest work.
"Coniston," deals with the problem Of
the political boss. In Jethro Bass he
has typitied the well known character
who obtains control Of party machin-
cry and uses 1t for his own advantage
From writing about things he thought
ought to be reformed TO taking an ac-
tive hand in bringing about the
changes advocated was easy, and he IS
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for governor on an anti-boss, anti
corporation platf@m. He claims that
the government Of New Hampshire
does not at present belong to the peo-
pie Of the state as 1t should, but IS in
effect the property OF single power
full corporation, the Boston and Maine
railroad, and he says that IL nominated
and elected be will see that the gov
eminent IL returned to its rightful
owners.
The New York Sun has termed Mr..
Churchill a 'carpctbag politician.
That is in allusion TO the fact that he
is an emigrant from another state and
not long since resided In Missouri.
Being from the land Of Folk and Had
ley, how could he be otherwise than
reformer? Admirers OF Mr.. Church
III have claimed that he placed st.
Louis under heavy debt of gratitude
when he helped to make 1t famous by
writing "The Crisis" and that after
