|TflL ABOUT BROWNSVIllfRAID
DISCHARGED NEGRO SOLDIER
MAKES FULL CONFESSION At
GALVESTON.

Galveston. Tex, March 19.--Accord
ing to story printed yesterday by
the Galveston News. the mystery sur
rounding the murderous midnight raid
of the negro soldiers from the Twenty
fifth infantry upon the people OF
Brownsville, Tex, ON Aug. 13 last year,
has been cleared up. A full statement
has been made by one of the discharg-
ed negroes, who admits that he par.
TALLY participated.
Was Not Premeditated.
According to the statement, the out
rage was not premeditated, but was
the result of an an alleged injury done
one of the soldiers by white man In
Brownsville about a half hour before
the raid was made. The negro, return
ing to the barracks, seized his rifle and
announced that he was going to kill.
the white man. Several of the negroes
volunteered promptly to go along and
see the work well done and to wipe
out old scores which they had against
the citizens ON account of the injuries
which they had claimed to have suf'
fered.
Helped Clean Guns.
The negroes returned to the bar
racks after committing the assault on
the town, and many soldiers assisted
in the hurried cleaning of the guns for
the inspection which followed soon
after the shooting in the town ceased.
Apparently the soldiers from only
one company participated in the raid.
although practically the entire bat
talon knew that soldiers had done the
shooting.
The man who talked to the reporters
gave his name as d. C. Gray and
stated that he was formerly private

IT SERVED HER NEED.

Boarding school French is proverbi-
ally useless, but 1t rested with bright
American girl to show how a little
knowledge might sometimes be not
such a dangerous thing.
She was crossing the st. Lawrence
one morning early on her way to Muir
ray bay. A cold damp fog hid every
thing but the oily water over the side
of the steamboat, the trip which always
takes an hour seemed likely to be
heightened out indefinitely, and long
night railway journey had left her
worn out.
There was not a thing to eat to be
bought on the boat. and the French
Canadian sailors seemed perfectly care
less as to her welfare. Moreover. as
she passed the galley there steamed
forth the most inviting scent Of coffee.
She paced backward and forward
wondering If someone would not take
pity on her. She knew there was some
French phrase in her book at home
which would exactly fit the situation,
but remember it she couldn't. She grew
more and more desperate until q fash
OF genius came to her.
She stood outside the galley door and,
with an emphatic gesture exclaimed:
"Mon dieu! quelle belle smelle!"
Boarding school French triumphed,
and In a minute she was presented by
/ smiling sailor with an enormous bowl
Of cofree.

AMUSING The BABY.

1T takes more than one thing to make
"a baby strong, or keep II so II II was
born that way, but none 10 more I'M
portant than not to oyerexcite IT, am
appalled, at the risks i frequently see
young mothers take with the nervous
system of their infants by stimulating
The little things with noises OF various
kinds, or by having II constantly In the
presence Of strangers. 1t is q great
Temptation, I know, to you young
mothers to show your baby, especially
when 1t is the first, and family friends
are most eager to see 1t. but refrain, or
at least be moderate.
A baby's brain In q very deiicate
piece OF mechanism. and positive treat
ment affects II decidedly one way or
the other. The physical condition is
apt to be directly In accord. or to be
quite literal, a nervous baby II never
physically strong. Given proper sur
roundinRs that win quiet and not ex-
cite there will be no danger OF baby Q
developing into nervous and ex-
citable child, type that grieve to
say Is increasing.
DO not think by quiet mean keep
ing everything as still as q mouse ana
never letting the baby be among per-
sons. An infant needs amusement and
relaxation, but amusement doesn't
mean taking It on your knees and
trotting the digestive organs upside
down. I know our foremothers trotte'.
all their babies for generations. and
we are healthy race. but that doesnt
follow that trotting is the best thing.
To the contrary IL may be really In
furious, causing a disturbance that VIII
prevent digestion, and this Is true even
some time after feeding.
One OF the best ways Of amusing
baby alone is to put IL on the floor and
let 1t amuse itself. Only the simplest
kind OF toys should be about, soft
ball, rattle, woolly dog, or the like
The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1907-08-15

Complicated or elaborate toys for little
children are a mistake, and an infant
does not get as much pleasure as from
a primitive thing.
AS baby will try to put everything
into it's mouth painted toys should not
be encouraged and woolly or soft ones
must be strong enough not to tear cas-
lily, else the bite will be swallowed.
A baby put on the floor with a half
dozen little things to play with will
soon learn TO amuse itself in the best
possible way. 1t will not, however. IL
you play with 1t. A baby is tremen-
dously bright and soon learns to know
who will amuse and who will not. And
IT will get all that is necessary without
constantly helping 1t on.
