"Big Sister" Gives Real Cheer.

The happiest children in the world
are the ones who have a mother or a
big sister who can appreciate their
every childish foible; who can tell
them lifelike stories; who can find
wild Strawberries, acorns and pine
cones; who knows where there are
brooks in which they can wade. and
trees to climb; and who can listen to
all their childish ideas with interest,
ever adding a new idea to their eager
young minds.-Marian Brunot.

the steamer Woodruff from Green's
boro, Pa, to this city, her home, was
brutally assaulted by a negro employe
of the boat today and is at her home
in serious condition. The child had
been visiting relatives at Greensboro
and started yesterday for Pittsburg.
During the night the negro, whose
name is withheld, broke into her
stateroom and struck her on the head
with a potato masher.~ The girl was
rendered unconscious. = Later her
screams attacted the attention of the
boats officers. Before they could
realize the situation, however, the
negro struck the child again. The
officers in charge of the boat held the
negro prisoner in the lower portion
of the steamer until this city was
reached. While the mate was tele-
phoning for the police the negro es-
capped from the deck hands.
The negro is known here, it is said,
and the authorities hope to capture
him. The assault caused a panic
among the passengers.
