A Girl Named Daniel.

Daniel Casey is dead and the nurses
at Sloan Maternity Hospital are
mourning. Daniel was the tiniest
baby born at Sloan last year. The
mother died at the child's birth and the
father brought priest to christen the
mite of humanity. When asked for a
name he scratched his head, thought
some time, then stammered, "Call it
DanI." So with the ceremony of the
Church the little one received the
name of Daniel. But, alas, Daniel was
a girl.
For four months Daniel was the
prize incubator baby of the hospital.
She grew and fourished, and at the
end of that time the pound and half
she weighed at birth had increased to
five. She was the most astonishing
looking little creature, with solemn
blue eyes, round bullet head and stiff
black hair. The nurses all adored her
and spare moments in their busy days
were spent with her. Finally she out
grew her incubator and in few weeks
was sufficiently Injured to the outside
world to leave the hospital. But the
orphanage was too great change for
the fraiI little mite, and few weeks
ago Daniel Casey died.-Montreal Her

She had neither stick nor stone.
Happy though, why not strangle 1t
