MAY LOSE CHILD
Authorities May Take Little
Girl From Mrs. Merle
Campbell.
MOTHER is ARRESTED
HER ALLEGED ACTIONS WITH
CHARLES FOREMAN LEADS TO
ARREST BUT BOTH PLEAD NOT
GUILTY-RELEASE ON BOND.

AS the result of the arrest of Mrs
Merle Campbell, it is probable steps
will be taken to deprive her of the
custody of her three years old child.
The woman and Charles Boreman
were arrested last night on the charge
of fornication. 1t is alleged that they
have been living together at the home
Of the woman. 101 South Second
street for some time, Both plead not
guilty in city court this morning and
the cases were continued until tomor-
row.
The police assert the two have been
occupying the same house for some
time. The feasibility of placing a
charge of keeping a house for immor-
al purposes against the Campbell wo-
man has been considered by the auth
critics. When she appeared in court
this morning Mrs Campbell was &C
cOmpanied by the child. It's mother
and father are not married and this
and the fact the mother is not regard
ed as the proper person to care for the
child may result in its being placed in
the custody of the board of children's
guardians. Mrs. Campbell appeared
in circuit court recently and plead for
the custody of the child, who had
been placed with a family residing
north of the city. The court granted
the request with the injunction TO the
mother that she rear it under proper
conditions.
Foreman and Mrs. Campbell were
admitted to bail in the sum of 500
each. Two of Boreman's friends came
to his assistance and one transferred
his kind feelings to the woman and
deposited cash bond for her.

WATCH THIEF NOW
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
James Harris May Face Sew
eraI Charges.

James Harris had changed his mind
by the time he was arraigned in police
court this morning and entered a plea
of not guilty to the charge of petit lar
ceny. He is charged with the theft
of a watch and chain belonging TO Geo.
Runge. Harris had admitted to Supt.
Bailey that he stole the watch. The
charges will be placed against the
young man and for this reason he was
bound over to the circuit court. Har-
ris is accused of the theft OF razor
belonging TO Joseph Caveney and also
the theft of a pair of shoes and a pair
of gold cuff buttons from other per-
sons. The latter cases are being in
vestigated by the police department.
Harris rOOmed at the same place
Runge does and had access TO the lat
ter's room. Runge claimed he left
his watch on the bureau, when he
was away. Harris told Supt. Bailey
he took the watch with the intention
of retur,Ing it. Later he admitted try
ing to dispose of it and said that he
did not mean TO return it. His bond
has been placed at $500.

Again their eyes met. With mutual
impulse they drew toward each other.

strength OF his circling embrace, the
girls outstretched arms swayed like
wind blown lilies in rhythm with the
music, her light step scarcely touching
earth as the prince guided her through

1t was n strange, dexterous blend of
east and west, of liSsom oriental pos

Then a last dreamy chord and the

lest by impulsive word she might

At a race course the other day a
sharper wagered f5 he could put more
water into a black bottle than any per
son present. An individual present at
once filled the bottle with water and
passed it to the sharper, saying
There; l think she's as full as she
can get. If you can crowd any more
water into her. mister. go ahead"
Without saying word the sharper
corked the bottle tightly. Then he
turned it upside down, and in the
large hollow which is found at the bot
tom of most bottles he poured about a
gill Of water. III trouble you to hand

III The farof orchestra had
- struck up dashing, gay
Marsovian air. Impelled by the music
and her glance of daring, Danilo sprang
forward.
In an instant the two were whirling
madly amid the intricacies of a wild
Russian dance such as has for count
less centuries been performed from ST.
beria's ice plain TO Tartar steppes-a
dance of youth, agility, utter aban-
don.
Yet as they came painting to a halt
at the last crashing note of music the
face of neither reflected the exhilara-
ton the swift motion and stirring
measures usually evoked. In fact Da-
nilo's brow wore a very peroeptible
scowl. Sonia. too, was downcast. Had
her rash experiment failed?

did"

She WINGED ever so little at the re

Possibly" he agreed. You see, l
too, may prefer French partners"
She raised her great dark eyes t.
his, a world of meaning in them.

whisper.

but dreamy, infinitely sweet Wen

BREAD SUPERSTlTIONS.
Peculiar Ones Still Prevail In Rural
France.

There are some curious superstitions
about baking bread in the course of re-
ligious seasons which seem so easy to
prove fallacious that one has difficulty
in understanding why they are still be-
lieved. One would think that some
day a mistake would occur and the
discovery be made that there was no
force in them. Probably, owing to the
constitution of the believers. the fail
ure of the expected result would be
ascribed to some supernatural cause
rather than the real one, and the be-
lief would be continued. Most of these
superstitiOns are found in France, the
greatest bread eating country on the
globe.
For instance, in upper Brittany
bread baked on Good Friday. it is de-
clared, becomes black. In Charante it
is held that he who eats of bread
baked on All Souls day will become
diseased. The flames will burst out of
the oven in ones face if bread is
baked on the feast of st. Nicholas, say
the good people at Aube, so it is not
done. In Burgundy the people believe
lLut IL Is tithSti III Tire IchI sc VI
Rogation week all bread baked during
the remainder of the year will turn
moldy. The inhabitants of the Black
mountains believe the same thing. The
Sicilians refuse to bake on Good Fri
day, because they fear that in some
manner they will burn the Saviour.
The beliefs which other Europeans
used to have in early times demon
strate how illogical is all this supersti-
ton. These used to think that bread
baked on Good Friday would not grow
moldy, and the hot cross bun was in
Guided in this belief. Some one has
shrewdly suggested that the spice pre-
served them. A piece of bread baked
on this holy day. perhaps because of
its holy character, was supposed to
have miraculous powers if preserved.
The house containing it would not
catch fire. 1t was useful for prevent
ing whooping cough and if fed to cat
tie i'll of certain diseases would cure
them The natural deduction from all
this is that in one country bread baked
on a certain day will work ill and that
baked in another on the same day will
work good. which means that bread
baked on that day is about the same as
bread baked on any other.-New York
Tribune.
