JUNE OVER TO

FoUR-yE.,R-OLD CHILD no
Mrs. sAMCEL HALL.

Columbus. D.. Ecc. 16.--"Come

These words. spoken with baby's

up from her work Saturday after

face. Accompanying his words. he
grasped the skirt OF the woman he
was addressing. as II to hurry her
T. .ohey -hIs request. Though he
had evidently witnessed terrible
scenes the little fellows face showed
no signs of weeping.
A SCENE OF BLOOD.
When Mrs. Hall arrived at the
child's home, which was that of
John Redman, a farmer. whose home
Is five miles south OF Commercial
Point. a horrible sight met her gaze
Lying upon the bed she found Mrs.
Redman. her ghroat gashed and
bleeding. BY her side. bathed in it's
by Gerald. Ascertaining that both
were still alive, Mrs. Hall hurried
to telephone and summoned DR..
Justus from Darbyville.
After an examination the physi-
clan decided that the baby was the
more seriously injured and it's
chances for recovery are indeed
slight. Mrs. Redman, in attempting
suicide, missed the jugular vein and
windpipe. Her injuries. while serl-
Gus, will not be fatal.
HUSBAND NOT AT HOME.
The woman's deed was committed
shortly after two o'clock Saturday
afternoon. Mrs. Redman had been
left alone in the house with her two
children. Gerald and Freddie. while
Mr. Hall drove to Circleville. about
eight mics away to do the family's
weekly trading. He had been gone
from the house two or three hours
when the woman entered upon her
murderous course of action. The FAM
lily butcher knife. lying conveniently
near on the kitchen table, suggested
to her frenzied mind the weapon TO
be used.
LITTLE FREDDIE ESCAPED.
1T Is believed that her plan con-
templated the killing OF both OF her
children. as we'll as her own sui
eide, but that little Freddy slipped
from her bloody fingers and ran to
Mrs. Halls. across the fields. Baf-
fed of this victim, the mother prob
ably then turned her attention to the
helpless babe. Morphine had az

child, but the woman saw that this
dose would not be fatal Taking she

always formal. Along with the choice
of the class Apollo, Yale makes nu-
merous other choices. such as the
class good fellow, the class grind, the
class genius and the class wit-a1f
choices which combine with their hu-
NOR an element of sincerity.
The best proof that Yale tries to de-
eide honestly on the pulchritude in the
senior class is the fact that an ex-
ceptionally close similarity to the Glib
son drawing is always chosen. Last
year Cyril Sumner. the old Andover
athlete, was designated as the best
looking chap in the ranks of the Sc
niors, and the testimony of everybody,
who knew Sumner, even by sight, sub
stantiated that choice. And certain
" no adverse criticism may be passed
on the man who has just been laur-
elled in the time honored Yale fashion.
The handsomest man Of the senior
class at New Haven this year, if the
vote may be accepted as just verdict,
is Roy Smith Thompson of Topeka,
Kan. He is very modest chap, who
has earned no special publicity during
his collegiate career save a reputation
for being a fine scholar and a good fell
low.
He was chairman of the senior and
promenade committee. a member of
the Duck Hunters club, and for a year
president of the Gun club. In his ju-
nior year he made the D. K. E., and
received one of the coveted slaps for
VOLTS Head. In his studies he also

From several of the New England
colleges hopeful young graduates will
go out into the world with the distinc-
ton, or handicap, of having been vot-
ed the best looking men in their
classes.
The girls colleges have no such Gus
toms. They don't need to vote to de-
eide who is the best looking of their
number. College men do not give the
problem any sleepless nights. The Sc
lection of the most Apolloesque per-
son in the class usually goes over to
the end of the year. And, as rule,
the men who are voted the best look
ing or the most handsome, as the case
may be, are the antithesis of the
much mooted molly-coddle.
Probably in no place are to be
found better looking men than in the
colleges, large and SMALL 1t is not "a
murder of syllogistic logic to figure
out that the best looking men of the
various senior classes are the best
looking men of any community.
Naturally it is a fine joke to send a
classmate out into the world burden
ed with the distinction Of being the
best locker in the class. -

began, the historical works do not say.

AT THE THEATEZRS.

cupid at vassar," the attraction at
the Grand for yesterday afternoon and
last evening, Is just about as entertain
ing a musical comedy as has been seen
around here. In fact 1T ranks with the
best of them and 1t was presented in a
delightful fashion by Miss Florence
Gear and her decidedly attractive COM
pany.
AS for Miss Gear-well, it is a hard
task to think of words of the superla-
tive degree, and these are needed, which
will do this young woman justice. To
begin with Miss Gear is unusually pref
ty and with form divine. She has a
soprano voice of rare beauty and clarity
for a comic opera star. And besides
having a fine voice she knows how to
cling. She is brimful of vivaciousness
and fairly bubbles over with good hu-
NOR and in addition to these attributes
she is a tireless worker. But if she is
greeted as enthusiastically all along her
route as she was by the audiences at
might, she certainly gets the reward for
her efforts which is so dear to all ar
ists,-deserved appreciation.
It Is almost unnecessary to state that
very life, of Cupid at Vassar," which
taken by itself does not amount to
whole lot as a show. Few musical
comedies do. But the show is a most
entertaining one in depicting the various
phases of the life of college girls in
way that rings true.
AS Kate Newton" the popular girl
at Vassar as well as at home and with
a couple of suitors, Miss Gear has a
part that suits her many and varied
abilities to perfection. She has two or
three musical numbers in which she
shines, the best of them being 1.-The
Poppy and the Pink" and That's How
Love You" In this latter song each
verse was devoted to describing how
men Of different Municipalities tell how
they love their sweethearts. Miss Gear
was equally as clever with the various
dialects needed for this song as she was
In everything else. Four or five encoree
were demanded and in response to one
Of them Miss Gear whistled the tune
Miss Gears main support came from
the chorus, bevy of young women,
who looked and acted like the real
things in the way of college girls. They
were certainly fetching to look at and
each of them was decidedly more clever
than is the average chorus girl. One
of their number. Miss Rose Bird, who
took the part of Helen Conway" a
