Mrs. COwles Meets Friend.

There was no more lively guest at the
reception than Mrs, Cowles, the Presl-
dents sister. Mrs Cowles and Admiral
Dewey are old friends, and when they
met just at the door of the state dining
room, both were SO slad TO see each
otner that they clasped hands and took
several fancy steps in time to the spirit
ed music played by the Marine Band.
Whitelaw Reid, American ambassador TO
Great Britain, who had accompanied
Mrs. Cowles into the corridor. and was
waiting TO escort her home. stood sew
eTal feet Off watching the admiral and
Mrs. HoWles with a confused air, as IL
he did not know whether it would be
beneath his dignity to laugh and join
IN the fun or whether he had better
pretend that he wasn't in the party
Mrs. Cowles' spirits, however, were
running high, and after her little tete-
aztec with the Admiral OF the Navy she
held a reception of her own of officers
of both branches of the service who
were just then passing through the
line.

Knife Wound Fatal.

David Campbell, aged . years, met
with most peculiar death last Thurs
day at his grandfather's home near
Sarcoxie. With several playmates the
child was romping about the place, and
10 his possession was an old knife, prac-
tically useless. His companions play
fully shut him in room alone, and al
most Immediately the boy was heard to
cry out that he was hurt. AS bis
grandfather approached David sobbed,
"Grandpa, Pm cut" maybe not
bad" said the old gentleman. "Yes
grandpa" said the boy, sit went
plumb ip." Five menutes later he died
without giving any further information
as TO how he was hurt. The cut was a
straight stab in the left breast, and
penetrated the heart cavity. The FAM
lily were at loss to account for the
tragedy, though several theories we're
offered. The probable explanation.
perhaps, is that the boy fell on the
knife.
