and the baby screamed with the pain
OF the burns. Little Andrew, a young
hero, rolling the baby in the bed

his hands, receiving a number of burns
himself, but no doubt saving the 9th

The child was burned severely on
the right side of the face and head
the hair being singed off, and some
very painful burns being received
There were also burns upon the body
Unless the baby inhaled sonle of the
fire, it will likely recover from the in
juries, but it will be a long time before
the scars will heal upon the face and
head.

Balfour, July 1.-The presence OF
mind and instant action to meet an
emergency by Charles Sanks, an en-
gineer on the Burlington fast mail,
probably saved a dozen lives. wild
coal car which threatened to wreck nus
train, was stopped in most sklllfu,
manner without even being deralled.
The fast mail was blowing over q
gentle grade approaching Baifour,
when suddenly man appeared on the
track waving his arms wildly. Sanks
quickly shut off steam and applied the
brakes and a moment later saw wild
car round the curve and come towards
his train at a rapid rate. He quickly
reversed his engine and got his train
under momentum moving backward
when the car struck the front end OF
the engine. With both train and car
moving in the same direction the COM
pact was slight and Sanks soon
brought both to standstill. Picking
up the car, which was a fifty ton ca
pacity coal laden gondola, he pushed
it ahead of him to Balfour 1t was
then learned that the car had got
away while being switched by local
freight.

Investigation made, it is announced
that the death of Alpheus Myers. the
12-year-old boy who was found dead,
suspended by rope from the limb of
tree in his fathers yard at Cedar
Valley, Sunday, has been definitely de-
clared to be the result of suicidal in
tent. Justice of the Peace j. w. Argo,
of Upton, in the absence of the cor
oner, went to Cedar Valley and made
an investigation of the case. He stated
that the evidence SO overwhelmingly
tended to show case Of suicide that
no inquest was necessary, and there
fore he would not hold one.
1t appears that the lad became over
heated about a week ago, and had
shown signs Of being mentally unbal-
anced since then. He had used a heavy
fish cord, such as is used for throw
lines, tying it to the limb of the tree
and had evidently then let himself
down. after tying 1t about his neck.

Profit From Dairy Products.

The Maryland Experiment station
has been making tests as to profits
IN selling dairy products, AS milk, cream
and butter This test shows that cream
is one of the most profitable forms Of
sale, when 20 per cent cream can be
sold at 80 cents a gallon, and even at
this low price returns 1919 cents per
pound for the butter in the milk be-
sides leaving the skimmilk for use on
the farm. OF course, cream can be us
ually sold for more than so cents per
gallon. 1t appears that milk shipping
is ordinarily more profitable than but
ter. Thus - cents per gallon for 49,
per cent milk is equal to 1912 cents per
pound for butter, while at Is cents per
gallon for SO per cent milk tie but
ter is sold at 32L2 cents per pound.
In selling cream at 20 cents per gal
Ion the price obtained is equal to 80
cents for the butter, but creameries
never paw this amount, and no home
made butter brings any such price eX-
cept for very few gilt-edge makes.

did not know that while it was COM

cavalry to scurry over the mountains,
1t was slow work to get the artillery
and wagon trains over. SO it was the
