LEFT BABY WITH THE SAINT
Woman Chooses Unique Method Of
Getting Rid Of Offspring Appar.,
emily Undesired.

A respectable woman, with an in.
FAINT In her arms, entered. the cathe.
dral at Antwerp n morning when
the priest was alone. The woman ad.
dressed him in a most earnest and
affecting manner, and with due hu.
mility unfolded her tale Of sorrow.
Her child, she said, was suffering
from some mortal malady; the skill
of the physician had been all in vain,
and she was at last convinced that
nothing could save her beauteous babe
from the Jaws of death but being
placed for a moment in the arms of
her tutelary saint.
The saint was stuck up in a niche
OF the wall with a neat balcony be.
fore him, in the form of a goodly mar.
BILE statue.
The priest was at last moved by
her entreaties; he procured a ladder,
assembled to the sacred niche, entered
the balcony, and, placing the babe in
the arms Of the statue, asked the
grateful mother If she was satisfied.
Perfectly So" said that lady; and
carefully removing the ladder she
walked coolly out of the church.
leaving her rosy infant, the astonished
priest, and the unconscious saint all
equally elevated, there to remain till
the next brother of the community
should arrive.

Physician or Enaineer?

ing on 1t.

Jake Brunton, a farmer living fi7a
miles northwest of Blair, astonished
the managers of the corr show there
to a finish by bringing in for exhibit
ton a full well-developed ear of corn
with an odd number of rows of corn
on 1t. 1t Is a noted fact that all ears
of corn have even number of rows
running from IA to 22-but no odd
numbers. This ear has Is rows with
48 grains to the row. Mr.. Brunton
planted fifteen hills from a peculiar
ear of corn Of his own selection, and
the planting received the same atten-
ton as his other corn. He read last
year of an offer by an Illinois orn
raiser of a 320-acre farm for an ear
OF corn with am odd number of rows.
He began to experiment, and planted
an odd. number Of grains in an odd
number of hills on the 18th day Of
the month, and husked and counted
each a separately. A dozen corn ex-
perts examined it, and would not be-.

It is a freak of which Mr.. Brunten is
justly proud, but he forgot to take it

Piermaster Bennett Of Rhyl, Wales,

reach the dog, but by another young

frightening the rope, Bennett was
able to reach the dog, which was in a

EIGHT KILLFDON CRUISER
BREEcH OF GUN BLOWS OFF DUR.
ING TARGET PRACTICE.
Seven Men Standing in Line Were Cut
Down by Flying Missile-Many
Others Badly Injured.

Manila. March 2S.-Report that a
fatal accident had occurred on the
United States Cruiser Charleston was
confirmed today. Eight men were kill
ed and several slightly injured dur
Ing a practice at sea of Clongapo.
The breech lock of a three inch gun
blew off and in fleeing across the
deck moved down the men. Seven of
the victims were instantly killed.
The eighth died as the Charleston was
hurrying to Cavite. Admiral Mason,
chief of the ordinance, is of the opin-
ion that the accident resulted from a
bent or broken firing pin. When the
breech lock was swung heavily to
close the breech on the cartridge
which is of brass, the projecting pin
probably struck the primer, Admiral
Mason believed. and exploded the
charge before the block was locked in
place. The entire charge he thinks
flew out backward tearing off the
block and hurting it among the sailors
who probably had gathered in the real
to watch the gun practice. Such acct
dents are rare but are not without
precedent.

Mate Szalka, Hungary, March 2s.-
Two hundred n fifty people were

A couch house connected with the

a woman's dress was seen to be ablaze.

EPISODE OF MONTE CARLO
Shows the ImpossibiIity of Winning
When One Is Obliged to Have
Money.

Here is a story which appears ir
the Monte Carlo Telegram and the
truth of which is vouched for by that
paper, which advises all would be Wis,
itors to the Riviera to take it to heart
says an exchange:
The Comte de B., a confirmed gam,
bier, had once more come to the end
Of his financial resources. He wired
to his brother in Paris to send him
1000 francs, which, after paying his
hotel bill, would leave him a louis or
two for incidental expenses.
For some reason OF other, however,
his brother sent him only 900 francs,
which happened to be the amount of his
hotel bill, and as he wanted to be left
with at least so francs he went into
the rooms with the intention of win.
ming that sum and then coming away.
He could scarcely be accused of ex.
pecting too much in counting to win a
couple of sovereigns with a capital OF
$3.50, and on any other occasion the
count would have been sanguine OF
success.
But there it was! It was all i'm,
portant for him that he should not
lose. 1t is not, difficult, perhaps, to
guess what happened. He struggled
heroically for hours, but in vain, and
when he rose from the tables he had
lost everything.
Fortunately, however-for the count
had to be in Paris the next evening
as he left the Casino he ran across a
friend, who "%obliged" him with the
money he required. It did not add
to his satisfaction, though, to learn
that his friend, on being informed at
the counts hotel that he had gone
to the rooms, decided not to disturb
him, and patiently waited for him at
the Cafe de Paris for several hours,
in fact, during all the time the count
was losing his money with such unre,
lieved persistency.

WOMEN's DEBT TO ANCESTORS
Tragic Figures Were the Militant
Members of the Sex in the
'40's and SOS.

1t was this attitude of the mass of
of women, unsympathetic and often
contemptuous as it was, toward the
early agitators for woman's rights,
that made the position of the militant
woman hardest in the '4O's and SOS.
She was then, and always has been,
a tragic figure, this woman in front
of the woman's movement-driven by
a great unrest, sacrificing old ideals
to attain new, losing herself in a fran
tic and frequently blind struggle,
often putting. back her cause by the
sad illustration she was Of the price
that must be paid to attain a result.
1t was, and is, common to speak slight
ingly of her, but it is uncomprehend-
ing.

takes it as a matter of course that
she should study what she chooses,

writes: "They have just invented a

at the pathetic farewell gathering
were struck by the change which the
last few months had made in her ap-
pearance.
Since returning to Sandringhan.
the queen mothers health has hear,
greatly improved and she Is showing
more interest in the details of her
home life than has been the case for
some time. Her majesty's chief work
now is arranging the effects of King
Edward in the rooms which he occu-
pied. All his matesty's personal et-
fects have been sent from the palace
and they are being placed in exactly
the same position as they occupied
when the king was alive. His rooms,
both at Sandringham and Marlbor-
ough house, will ever be kept by nor
majesty as though King Edwards re-
turn was at any moment expected.
The late duke of Clarence's room at
Sandringham remains today in ex-
actly the same condition as when he
died.
No particulars have been published
of the affecting scene which took
place at Buckingham palace when the
queen mother left last week. 1t ap-
pears to have escaped observation
that the date chosen by her majesty
to leave her old home was the ami
versary of King Edwards coronation
day. This day was always celebrated
at the palace. Special fare was pro-
vided in the great hall for every men,
Der Of the household, and the day was
made the occasion Of general rejoic-
ing. 1t was here that Queen Alexan-
dra bade her last farewell to more
than 200 members Of the household
when she left for Sandringham. From
the highest member Of the household
when she left, to the humblest scul-
lery maid, Queen Alexandra bade
"Goodby," and insisted upon shaking
every one by the hand. Although she
wore a veil it was impossible for her
to hide the tears which could not he
kept back It is unlikely that the
queen mother will return to the pal
ace, SO pregnant as it is with sad and
fateful memories.
