According to a story which has been
received from the section of the city
around lower Grove street one young
baby of tender years had the whole
household guessing a few nights ago,
and almost on the ragged edge of de-
spair. She came home at the close
of school in the afternoon and in
stead of going in where the. other
members of the family were she went
directly upstairs to the bath room to
wash her hands. From that time she
disappeared. Supper time came but
the little girl was not present and her
parents began to wonder where she
was, and when darkness soon follow
ed the wonder was changed to worry.
Inquiries were made of the other
school children but none could remem-
Der having seen her after school ex-
cept on the way home. Finally as
last resort a search of the house
was made late in the evening. and on
a bed in a room which adjoins the
bath room and is seldom used was the
young lady fast asleep.

to Augusta and says that it is one of
the best cities to be found anywhere
and is yet with a brilliant future in
work and while she does not have
openings and other modern day af-
fairs in connection with her millinery,
she has plenty of orders and many
old friends go to her every year. She
is woman who does not by several
years show that she has reached the
7o-year mark, and those who have an
opportunity to meet her hope that her
years may be many more with never
a shadow to dim their pleasure.
She has many friends in the city
and the young people are as welcome
as the older ones. She cOnverseS de-
lightfully of the days when the city
was younger and the buildings were
not what they are now. She can tell
wonderfully interesting tales of the
places and people and odd bits of wit
and wisdom are treasured by those
who know her best.

Minister Of Foreign Affairs Replies
To Morocco's Protest to Powers.

Madrid, Sept. 22.-The Spanish forces
in Morocco, according to the latest dis
patches received here, were eminently
successful Sept. 20 in attaining their
offensive object the turning of Mount
Guruga and the surrounding Of the
'ferocious Beni-Sicar tribesmen. The
government is today publishing broad
cast accounts of many thrilling and
gallant episodes of the fighting, and
the war fever is at a high pitch. All
the reports agree that the Moors
showed fanatical courage, but they
were met with fine display Of Span
ish Valor.
Near TaXdir four battaiions Of Span
ish troops were deployed over a front
six miles long. They We're charged
suddenly by 200 Arab horsemen. Cen
Tovar, perceiving that the enemy
threatened to break the line, sent out
strong detachment of chausseurs
and cavalrymen to check them. The
two parties encountered each other
with terrific shock.
At first the Moors broke, but they
returned to the attack several times
before they were finally routed, leav-
ing many dead on the field. The Span
ish infantry then tented retreat and
the Moors, re-enforced, swept down up
on them. The Spanish line then fired
repeated yolleys point blank into the
enemy, putting them to flight. The
dispatches report that the Moors left
100 dead on the field.
The minister of foreign affairs has
made formal reply to the protest of
the foreign board of the Moroccan gov
eminent against the action of Spain
in the Riff district. This protest was
lodged with the powers. The nature
