BABY IS BURNED ALIVE
Touches Warm stove with
celiuloid Comb --- Clothing
ignites--Baby's shrloks Warn
Parents Only to Find Little
Ones Body Mass OF Flames.

Extremely sad was the ter
rible accident which occurred at
the Townley residence on Sun
day afternoon, when Arthur p.
Townley, the little one year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Town
ley of this city, was burned to
death.
The mother and her baby
were in the house together,
the little fellow sitting on the
floor. when she went out for a
minute to see her husband who
had just driven into the yard
and in order TO amuse the child
during her absence gave him a
large celluloid comb to play with.
Mrs. Townley had not been gone
more than a minute when heart
rending cries were heard from
the house aud ran back only to
find her baby enveloped in a
huge mass Of flames. AS the
little fellow had been sitting
near the stove. it is thought that
in playing with the comb, it
must have struck the warm
stove, the heat in a flash igniting
the celluloid comb and setting
the clothing on fire. Neighbors
on hearing the cries of agony
and pain. rushed to the terrible
scene and several ran for med
ical aid but the flames had gotten
SO much headway in that short
time that the clothing was al
most entirely destroyed before
anything could be done. The
skin on nearly every part Of the
body was in a terrible condition,
in many places being burnt
through to the flesh. The ears,
nose and lips were burnt crisp
and the sweet baby face of a
few moments before was now
beyond recognition. Drs. Gavey
and Donnelly done all within
their power to relieve the ter
rible pain of the little sufferer,
but the flames had done their
ravages and the little fellow
passed away in a short time.
Arthur P. Townley was born
December 22nd, 1906 and died
January IL, 1908. The funeral
services were held at the family
residence on Monday, Jan. 18th
at two o'clock.

erly gale had driven the advancing tide almost to the cliffs.
 Caleb saw him spur along the sands, and all at once, the prophecy rushed on his mind that the last Lord of Ravens wood should perish on the Kelpie's flow, the deadly quicksands that lay half way between the tower and the place where Colonel Ashton, frantic for revenge, was waiting.
 The two men watched the rider with equal intensity from their different sta tions They saw him reach the fatal spot; but they never saw him pass it. To Aashton 1t seemed as if the rider had suddenly dissolved into nothing be- fore his eyes.
 Colonel Ashton galloped to the place and there met Caleb, who had ridden down down from the tower. No trace of horse or rider could be discerned. All that could be seen was that the bounds of the quicksand had been greatly ex- tended, and that the Master of Ravens wood had ridden headlong into it. Only one vestige of his fate appeared-a large able feather from his hat, which the tide carried to Calebs feet.

MARTYRS TO ETlQUET.
Some Stern Laws In Foreign Lands.
 Siamese Manners.

From the New York Times.
 It is astonishing how many strange mediaeval forms of etiquette have sur vived to rank among the greatest tribu- latons of royal families of the present time When the present King of Spain was a child of he was playing In the palace at Madrid and pitched headlong down the great marble staircase. Un- doubtedy he would have been killed had not a footman standing one of the landings rushed forward and caught him. The next moment the footman realized with horror that he hadN committed a serious crime by laying hands on his sovereign.
 The stern laws of etiquette at the court compelled his dismissal in disgrace de- spite the gratitude of the Queen and the royal family. The Queen mother, however, gave the man a sum of money with an annuity for life and appointed him a gatekeeper on one of her private estates, but he was never again quite the same. He could never forget the disgrace that his absentmindedness had brought upon him.
 The same rule of etiquette was re- sponsble for the death of a Queen of Siam, wife of the present King. who eel ebrated his birthday munif1cently in Homburg recently. The present Queen of Siam. by the way is the kings half sister, was formerly only the second Queen and another ha1f-sister of the King shared his throne as principal wife and first Queen She perished almost 20 years ago While embarking one even ing on board her state barge for a trip on the river Menam, on the shores of which Bangkok is built, she fell over board.
 For any one but the King to have touched her in attempting her rescue would have been a violation of the laws of etiquette. punishable with death in it's most horrible form. And 1t happened that the King was not. present Nobody could see a way of rescuing the Queen without laying hands on her, and the att tendants had too much regard for their own lives to take any chances at heroism. They gazed down at the foundering. shreking Queen and discussed the eti- auette connected with the fishing out of her body. The court mourned the Queens death for many days, but there was one consolation-the rules of etiquette had been observed to the letter
 Etiquette has always been an awe inspiring influence at the court of Rus sia, and by no one were it's details more rigidly observed than by Prince Gort- chakoff, who was prime minister under Alexander II. One day Lord Dufferin asked the prince whether the Emperors cold was better. With bowed head arid eyes half closed. the prime minister re- piled in a reverent voice, His majesty has deigned to feel a little better this morning." The Duke de Morny half brother of Napoleon H., and ambassador to Russia, said of Gortchakoff that he seemed to pur when he spoke of any creature at court, even of the Grand Olga's monkey.

Churches and Advertisino,

From the Syracuse (N. Y.) Post-Standard.
 The habit of advertising church services has long been familiar to newspaper read CTS in the larger cities and it is growing habit In Syracuse. It's advantages are ob vious. Newspapers are always glad to lend the use of their columns to religious organizations and to other phianthropic and non-commercial enterprises and great quantities of space are constantly and freely given for such purposes, partly as a matter of public service and partly as a matter of news.
 This will always continue to be so. What the churches want, however, is something more than this. They desire and need the use of space which shall be entirely and without dispute their own, not depending upon the pressure of other matter, the requirements of the editorial rules, or the use of the blue pencil. They want what they want exactly when and how they want 1t. And the only way to be sure of this is by buying the space.
 Rev. Dr. Burnham of Plymouth Congre- gatonal church has been practicing this habit for a good while. He preached it to the other members of the ministerial association in an address which was full of truth and common sense '"The paid church advertisement" said Dr. Burn ham, ''is & necessity. It shows that the church wishes to serve and to give"
 It is significant that the Episcopal churches, which have always had repu- tation for conservatism, have lately come to perceive the advantage of newspaper advertising in Syracuse and are using newspaper space regularly. The rector Of one of these churches said in his pulpit not long ago that religious advertising had been customary ever since the Christ ian religion came into existence, and that he, for one, had no doubt that if news paper advertising had been available dur ing the human life of Christ, he would have used 1t for the spread of his king dom.

A Hair-Ralsing Dog Story.

 The Kansas City Star is now devoting much space to true dog stories, and the cheerful liars are contributing all sorts of anecdotes showing that dogs have al- most human intelligence. The only really true story received by the Star went to it from Emporia, and it wasn't printed, showing that the editor of the dog de- partment doesn't know truth when he sees it.
