Give Away a Little Baby

Incensed at what they term an
insult to motherhood, certain wo-
men in Minneapolis, Miss, are band
ing together in an effort to compel
the manager of a local theatre to
des;st from his denounced plan OF
giving away chances on si1-Weeks-
old child to all women who attend
a matinee performance at the play
house in the near future, and as &.
last resort declare they will attempt
to secure an injunction from the
court to prevent it
The theatre maintains that 1t IS a
legitimate advertising scheme II
which many women who wish a child
will be more than willing to partlc-
ipate. The baby has been provided
and il nothing happens to prevent
the human lottery will take place as
outlined, the child going to the hold
er of the lucky number, but the in
dienant mothers say that the san
city of the American home" IS at
stake and they think they can stop
the lottery.

never again to seek to harm hair OF
her body.
1t was one of the most entertaining
dinners for months and months, and,
although the cook gave Mrs. Bowser
glance Of warning every time she
brought In new dish, there was no
cloud on the horizon. The greatest
surprise OF all came when the meal
had been finished. Mr.. Bowser pulled
a couple of theater tickets from his
pocket and announced that he had or
dered a carriage TO convey them to
and fro.
"But the expense" gasped Mrs Bow
ser.
Hang the expense! Nothing is too
good for my little wife"
While Mrs. Bowser was dressing and
fiuttering about the cook brought the
stiletto again. 1t had been frightened
up and a sharper point put to it.
Take II and stab him to the heart
the moment he grabs you by the
throat" she whispered. Il have five
sisters and four cousins, all married
women, and they go armed most Of
the time"
But you are silly, Sarah"
Tn just prudent, ma'am. I'll leave
1t to any policeman on earth II Mr..
Bowser is not suspicious character
the way he has acted today and IL IL
isn't for you to be on your guard
against him. How easy to throttle
you In the carriage and throw your
body into the street TO be run over by
the cars! Let me speak to him and
tell him that unless he brings you safe
home I'll have the hounds OF Justice
pursue him for the rest OF his life."'
But Mrs. Bowser decided to trust
herself TO the situation. II was n
good play, and the theater was jam
med. People elbowed Mr.. Bowser,
and he even begged their pardon for
1t. They stepped on his toes, banged
him around and climbed over him, but
he was a ray Of sunshine In a rainy
April day. Mrs. Bo@ser fairly longed
for him TO kick, bat he wouldn't. He
went right at It TO enjoy the play, and,
although 1t was a tragedy he laughed
about once in two minutes all through
1t. People around him scowled and
hlssed and said that any man who
would laugh at death scene ought to
be thrown out Of the house by the
neck, but nothing that could be said
riled him. He just went right on
laughing and saying that It was the
funniest play he had seen for forty
years.
When the finish came Mrs. Bowser
expected to be taken right home, but
there was another surprise In store
for her. She was taken away to a
restaurant, and Mr.. Bowser ordered
lobster and champagne and other
things regardless OF expense. He said
he was a happy man. He said that life
was worth living. He said they would
go to the theater every night IN the
week thereafter and he would order a
thousand Holsters and. p, barrel of
