Little Child Nay Die From Burns

The 3-year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs
j. Launders, COZ North Eighth street,
which was severely scalded some time
ago, by falling into a pan of hot water,
is said to be in a critical condition,
the skin on the lower eXtrernities
which was badly scared, having failed
to heal.
The mother of the baby, it seems,
was engaged in scalding a chicken,
preparatory to picking, and had set the
pan of water on the floor. After the

How to Be ROYAL.

Many people pretend to sheer at the
affectation of Americans for titles,
but for the life OF us we can see moth
ing wrong about 1t, and 1t is certainly
cheaper for a woman to pay $500 and
get one OF her own than It is to buy
one with a husband attached for two
or three millions 1t is natural. IL is
human, to want to believe that you
are little more royal than the fam
lily In the next fiat; and until this
country gets something equally as
good. something that sounds as good.
the heraldic experts will keep right
on creating princes and princesses. or
course, this perfectly legitimate and
even commendable liking for titles
can be carried too far; any saleslady
can tell you that; IL is better to dwell
In poverty in mere palace with a
comparatively obscure earl and dine
or mere cut glass and silver with
everything regular and a marriage
certificate framed in the parlor, than
IL is to be the plaything of a royal
duke, even IL he does wear waistcoats
Of solid gold and dine off of rubies
and pearls.-Don Marquis I'm Uncle

1t. and so preoccupied. He no longer
had any doubt that Hampton had util-
lied his advantageous position. as well
as his remarkable powers of pleasing
to ensnare the susceptible heart of
this young. confiding girl. While the
man had advanced no direct claim, he
had said enough to make perfectly
clear the close intimacy of their re-
lation and the existence OF a definite
understanding between them. With
this recognized as a fact, was he jus.
tilted in endeavoring to win Nadia Gil
lis for himself? That the girl would
find continued happiness with such
man as Hampton he did not for mo-
ment believe possible; that she had
been deliberately deceived regarding
his true character he felt no doubt
That the girl was morally so far
above him as to make his very touch
a proclamation, and at the unbidden
thought of 1t, the soldier vowed to OPP
pose such an unholy contamination
Nor did he. even then, utterly despair
of winning. for he recalled afresh the
intimacy of their few past meetings
his face frightened In memory of this
and that brief word or shy glance.
All the world loves lover, and all
the fairies guide him. AS the off,
GERS eyes glanced up from the dusty
road, he perceived Just ahead the same
steep bank down which he had
plunged in his effort at capturing his
fleeing tormentor. With the sigh,
there came upon him the desire to loi-
ter again in the little glen where they
had first met, and dream once more
of her who had given to the shaded
nook both life and beauty. He swung
himself from the saddle, tied a loose
rein to scrub oak, and clambered up
the bank.

man he pushed I'm through the laby-
