TOO PROUD TO BE MILL GIRLS
Vanity of West Chester, Pa, Lasses
Closes Prosperous Factory in
That Town
Special to The Herald.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, April 15-
There is a scarcity of girls in West
Chester, that is of certain kind, and
this caused the closing finally today of
the e. M. Rust knitting mill, which has
been in operation for a short time with
a small force. The place is abandoned
and the machinery has been sold.
The mill was well equipped with ma
chinery and had a large number of
orders, but the girls of the town would
not take positions at the work and
others would not come here from other
places. This caused the closing OF the
mill. which had the best of prospects
in business way, with the exception
of securing operatives.

DOLL CLOTHES FOR MIDGET
Audrey Leota Dodge, Now Thriving
In an Incubator, Weighed One
and a Half Pounds at Birth
Special to The Herald


Special to The Herald
RUTLAND, VT, April 15.-Seven-
weeks-old Audrey Leota Dodge, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram f. Dodge,
of Rutland, weighed only one and one
half pounds at birth and has gained
only one pound since. The child is per-
fectly formed and takes nourishment
regularly and there is every indication
that she will mature
A physician pronounced the child
dead at birth, but an old country nurse
took it in charge and soon it showed
signs of natural respiration. Then the
doctor said 1t could not live. But the
tiny baby became gradually stronger.
Mr.. Dodge is a man of small means
and could not afford "boughten' in
cubator, so he improvised one from a
big clothes basket. In this wrapped
in blankets, the child spends its time,
the basket being directly over a hot
air radiator
The child consumes twenty ounces of
food daily and grows steadily. 1t is
141h inches long, and wears clothes
which Mrs. Dodge bought at a dolls
store. It's head is about the size of an
ordinary apple. Its wrists and ankles
are about as large as mans little
finger. 1t cries like any child and seems
to possess all the faculties of nor
NAL infant
Mrs. Dodge has given birth to two
other very small children, both of
which have grown up. One weighed
at birth three pounds and the other
five pounds.

on Hen Fruit by Iowa
LEGISLATURE

DES MONIES, Ia, April 15.-Hens
in Iowa are hereafter expected to lay
their eggs in uniform weight of two
ounces EACH for the legislature has
just passed new weights and mea-
sures law which includes this impor-
tant Iowa product.
1t provides that tle standard weight
of one dozen eggs shall be twentyfour
ounces, and permits merchants to sell
them by weight should they desire and
the purchaser be willing to accept this
method. No means of compromise Is
suggested in case twelve eggs over

to seventy articles, some of which
never before had official weight in
Iowa. These are beets, alfalfa, peanuts
and canary seed.

THE human race is full of human
nature. That is why we are al
most grateful for this fuss be-
tween President Roosevelt and
the Bellamy Storers. It is so human.
No matter how high a man may rise
In official rank, whether he be presi-
dent or an ambassador, he still remains
a mere man, controlled by the good
old common qualities inherent in the
human animal. The same is true Of
woman, even truer.
It is perhaps unfortunate that this
somewhat undiplomatic controversy
must be spread upon the records Of
our national life, and yet, save for the
persons directly concerned, there is
nothing really serious about it. An
international affair it is in sense, but
it is not loaded No international CON-
plications can result. The ultimate
outcome will be simply silence after a
little while. When the tumult and

The Judge Made a Test.

Judge Upton of Keene, N. H., is a
strict prohibitionist and long was
celebrated for the severe treatment he
dealt out to those brought before him
through intozication. Finding that
even heavy sentences did not diminish
intemperance, he decided to learn for
himself what made liquor so attrac-
tive. Accordingly he bought quart
of Medford rum and drank a generous
share of it before retiring. Next morn
ing drunkards brought into court
were promptly discharged, while all
other delinquents were punished. On
being asked after court adjourned as
to bis unwonted leniency, Judge Up
ton took long drink of ice water,
pressed his throbbing temples and said
mournfully: "Poor fellows, they are
punished enough. ''-Chicago Post.

OILS died some years later, and the bril-

rer, son of the noted Judge Bellamy

An International Triumph.
All the friends Of the Bellamy Sto-
rers seem to agree that the couple is
most happily mated. Both are well
educated, highly cultivated and ambi-
tious Mrs. Storer at first was ambi
tious along artistic lines and later for
the political preferment of her hus-
band. At the Philadelphia centennial
she first became intensely interested
in pottery work. Suggestions received
there caused her to devote much time
to experiments with the pottery clays
of Indiana and Ohio, with the result
that she evolved new and distinc-
lively American branch of that art.
Her lockwood creations went abroad,
where in turn they were ascribed to
China, Germany, France and Spain.
The Europeans scarcely could believe
that America was capable of produc-
ing such beautiful and original work.
It was an international triumph for the
Cincinnati artist
Later, when Mr.. Storer was serving
as United States minister successfully
at Brussels and Madrid, Mrs. Storer
turned her attention to the production
Of artistic vases and other ornaments
In brass and bronze, achieving such
results that her fame was largely in
creased.
Very Ambitious For Her Husband.
But of late years this woman of I'M
usual accomplishments has devoted
her best energies to the advancement
Of her husband. While Mr.. Storer un-
doubleday is man of large ability,
many friends of the family give credit
to Mrs. Storer for much of his advance
ment. "she is exceedingly ambitious
for Bellamy," they used to say, and it
cannot be denied that the recently
published letters from Mrs. Storer to
the president prove the truth of the
statement
