THE BABY THAT VANISHED

Some short time ago a childless
American woman stopping at a hotel
in the center of Berlin was seized
with desire to adopt German baby
and bring it up in the United States.
In searching for means to crafty her
wish, she saw in the newspapers an
advertisement of a firm who offered
babies of noble birth for adoption.
The terms varied, according 20 the
rank of the infants parentage, prices
ranging from 81 to $4,000. Following
a letter to the firm a prompt reply
was received accompanied by photo
graphs of several beautiful children
A selection was made and the firm
demanded half the stated price in ad-
vance. giving its business address.
The woman called at the office, paid
the sum required and was directed
to the residence of a midwife. where
the babe could be found on a given
day and claimed
Having bought, regardless of cost,
baby carriage and an elaborate out
fit of infants garments and engaged
a nurse, the American woman went
at the appointed time in a closed auto
mobile to the designated place. She
was amazed to find gathered about
the house dozen carriages bearing
aristocratic coats-of-arms and bevy
OF fashionably dressed women, all
Indignantly demanding a beautiful
blonde baby. But the midwife's apart
ment was empty and bare. The whole
affair proved to be an elaborate fraud

DEER IN A DRUG STORE

The bull In china shop was out
done in Newburgh, N. Y, by a doe in
drug store. The deer, two years old
and weighing about $50 pounds, ran
through the principal streets of the
city, leaped through piate-glass win
dow in the store of Ennis pharmacy,
and then through a plate-glass mirror
that stood across the main aisle in the
store. The animal turned, retraced its
steps, and leaped through the same
opening in the window through which
it came. Cut and bleeding, the doe
crossed Broadway to a place where
improvements were being made. 1t
leaped the boards in front, about five
feet in height, and fell between the
iron Orders to the cellar. II feet
below.
DR.. Willet Kidd, assistant chief game
protector, had the deer removed to a
barn, where it will be kept until it re-
covers from its injuries, and then will
be released. The deer made sad
havoc in the drug store.
The deer is presumably the one that
escaped death by the Empire States
Express across the Hundson, swan
the river to Bannerman's island, rest
ed, and then came to the western
shore.
