Unusual Mishap.
MOTHER TRIPPED ON RUG.
AS SHE DID so THE CONTENTS
OF A COFFEE POT SHE WAS
CARRYING WERE THROWN OV-

Burned TO death with scalding coffee

suffering. the little one died this morn
ing about four o'clock
The accident which befell the child
was a most unusual one. The entire
family had gathered about the dinner
table with the exception of the child
and the mother. the latter being in the
act of taking the coffee pot from the
stove to serve those seated at the ia

thrown over the little girl. With
piercing screams the little one sank to
the floor and writhed in agony. The
boiling coffee burned her head. shout
ders and the greater portion of her
body, while here little feet were almost
a solid blister. being veritably cooked
by the boiling coffee.
All known antidotes were applied i'm
mediately. while a physician was sum-
moned TO relieve the awful sufferings
of the little girl. The physician at
tended to her wounds, but stated that
he did not have much hopes of her re-
covery, owing to the chid's delicate
health, she having been afflicted the
greater part of her life. For this rea-
son the child was neither able to hear
or understand her mother who. in a fit
of terror was attempting to alleviate
the childs sufferings. The shock of
the accident and the manner in which
it occurred so greatly shocked Mrs.
Roll that she is in state of nervous
collapse at her home.

The small gray caterpillar that is at
Indianapolis is known as the Fall
Web Worm" and Is unusually plenti-
full this season. IL feeds on the fol-
iage and If not stopped will kill the
trees.
Mr.. Douglas says that the only rem
cry is to burn the caterpillers out
with torch of paper or rags and coal
oil. When they are burned care
should be taken to Kill those which
fall to the ground. People should ex-
anime their trees and where these
worms are found should Immediately
exterminate them, he declares.
Mr.. Douglas finds. also. that a
worm resembling the tomato worm
is working on the catalpa trees. In
Hancock county he found a catalpa
plantation in which the trees are be-
ing stripped, These worms are usu-
ally destroyed by the catalpa sphinx
moth, but this season this little des-
troyer is not in evidence. and the
trees are at the mercy of the worms.
This worm is doing great damage and
will retard the planting Of cata;pa
plantations in the state IL its rayascs
