WOMEN'S INTERESTS
Daddy Bedtime
DLOl Y Mikmaid

80 NOE n a time" said daddy me evening there was a mhkmaid
who was very proud and who also had the habit Of talking TO aaf-
self She was a poor girl who wanted very much to be rlch-hks
- most of the rest Of the world, IAN afraid.
zone day as this mukmaid was coming home from milking thescow-she
VASE carving her pail full of milk on her head-she thought
&@ :" Wont it be nre, when l have sold this pail OF milk to BUY some egg
FOR the money L shall get! / think l ought to get at leas a dozen tor
tisp nail Il nice new, fresh milk, Or maybe bad better take only three eggs
mi M hen, so that the hen may site IN the eggs and hatch them Into
chickens. rtENE -= -. ~
- ""rben shall have three chickens besides the hen. OF course when these
chickens grow up they will lay more eggs, and by and by sha ave a great
number of eggs from which to hatch chickens. ~
when / have enough chickens l shall take them to market and exchange
them fol a fine. fat little pig. Oh, how carefully shall watch my little pig
and feed him well until he becomes a great big porker! How proud I shall
be If him! And then 1 shall sell him, and perhaps some Of my chickens is
well, sc that I shall get enough money to buy a small cow -
~ "The mlknaid was becoming greatly Interested now In her W plans and
walked along with her head high In the afr, being careful however, not to
spill the pail Of milk which was to be the star of all her good fortune. she
contnuedssaying to herself out loud: = rM@
~ =" After awhile when my COW becomes bigger 1t will give ne much milk.
Then L shall be rich indeed, and shall take the milk to market each day and
sell it and ave the money until 1 shall have enough money to buy a nice farm
for myself @@
~ Z" Then all the farmers in this part of the country will want to marry me,
for I shall be the richest girl around here. Now they will not look at me
because ! ar only a poor girl, but 1 shall show themi
when they com around asking me % marry them shall look a them,
SO, m shaH smile, / snail toss my head, So ms
'And with that thu poor silly mikmaid, forgetting that she had the pail
of milk On her head, gave 1t a fine toss. The pail of milk fell to the ground,
and the milk vas spilled and lost And that was the end Of the mnkmaids
dream of riches, all because she did not think that without the pail of milk
she had nothing"

made by members of the present
medical staff that they would resign
If the staff were increased, borders
on the rule or ruin policy. 1t looks
as if the half dozen doctors who
are now on the staff insist that If
they cannot run the institution in
their own way they will try to ruin
it. y They would attempt to disrupt
the whole institution just because
the managers insisted upon their
right to manage the hospital as they
see fit. This threat seems to be
based on nothing else than personal
spite by one of the members Of the
staff. This looks like pretty small
business. We do not believe the
hospital will go to the demnation
boW-wows If the managers ignore
the threat of the medical staff and
do the square thing to the public.
The hospital practice, is not some-
thing to be thrown over SO lightly.
At any rate, when conditions reach
such a pass as they seem now to
have reached, 1t is pretty nearly
time to find out who is who and
what Is what.

Pastures of Children.

In a recent lecture to mothers and
teachers on incorrect postures of chill
dren the speaker spoke Of inturning
feet and the means of correcting them.
But turned toes and feet, she said, are
the result of training, and il the moth
er finds a tendency on the part Of her
child to turn the toes In she must re-
sort to training to remedy it. This
consists In developing the outer mus
|eles by proper exercise.
OF the physical training of the child
from birth the lecturer said that, ex-
~cessive crying being accepted as harm
full. the average mother therefore as
sumes that all crying is harmful and
should be suppressed. This is faulty
reasoning. The natural crying of a
baby is really means of develop
ment, as by crying the lungs are ex-
banded and the relations between. cir
tulation and respiration are thus es-
tablished and strengthened.

fNEGLIGEE WITH FANCY COLLAR
1914.

TO BE MADE WITH POINTED Ell
BOW OR LONG PLAIN SLEEVES.
The negligee that is made with a
big fancy collar is always a becoming
and attractive one. This model also can
be made with fancy sleeves or with
plain ones as liked. 1t extends well be-
low the hips in conformity with the
latest style but it is very simple, the
fullness at the waist line being confined
by ribbon or a belt. Dotted batiste
with trimming of embroidery makes
this one but all a~terials that are used
or n~egligees are appropriate, and chaliis
and the pretty washable silks are vel
liked as well as lawns and batistes

ers, especially those who must go out
to work and who resort to these dead

pitiful enough to hear the walls of a

to see the stupeied child sleeping of

The children of the rich often suffer

time establishes a habit, affects the

90 to Camden, it is charged that George
Bloomfield, bound boy on the farm oil
Mrs. Emily Slaughter, two miles west
of Dover. Del, set fire to the place to-
ward nightfaIl, yesterday. Everything
being exceptionally dry, the farm
buildings were soon mass OF iiames.
The boy, then penitent, went TO Mrs
Slaughter and told her he had taken a
box from the kitchen and match from
the safe and made fire in the stable:
Mrs. Slaughter screamed for help and
rushed to the barn. but opened the door
of the COW stable, from which burst a
flame which set fire to her clothing, al
most suffocating her. A niece OF Mrs.
Slaughter had followed her, and seizIDg
the burning woman and slamming the
door at the same time, saved her aunt
from destruction. The woman frantic
ally ran around the building, seeking
some avenue of escape for three fine
horses which were moaning and roast
ing alive. All the buildings, wheat,
fertilizer and one hog were destroyed,
and the house was threatened.

FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD ACCI-
DENT.

Thirty-seven persons were killed
and from 16 to 25 injured in a COLI
sion on the Illinois Traction system,
two miles north of Staunton, Illinois,
late yesterday. =,
Three of the injured and possibly
more are not expected to survive.
The collision occurred between a
local train, northbound, and an ex-
cursion train headed toward st. LOUIS
and loaded with passengers on their
way to view the parade of the Yelled
Prophets at st. Louis. The accident,
it is said, was due entirely to the dis
regard OF orders by the crew OF the
local.
The local train had orders to pass
the southbound train at Staunton.
The latter train was running in two
sections and the orders given to the
local were that it should pass both
sections OF the southbound train at
Staunton. The first section had pas
sed when the crew OF the local pulled
out on the main track, needless OF
the second section, and started north
At a sharp turn, called Dickersons
Curve. two miles north OF Staunton,
the two trains came together in a splin-
tering crash.
Dickerson's Curve is at the bottom
OF decline both from the north and
from the south. The local train and
the second section of the excursion
train were both on the down grade
and moving at speed OF 40 miles
an hour when they met. The col
lision occurred right at the bottom OF
the double incline and at the sharpest
part of the curve.
The cars were so close that it was i'm
possible for either Of them to stop or
Slow down. The crews were able to do
nothing except set the break and jump
for their lives. The crew Of the local
and the crew OF the special leaped as
soon as they saw the collision was iDeyi-
table, and all four escaped without Sc
rious injury.
They we're bandly shaken up, bus
were able to lend assistance to the in
jured None Of the passengees bad a
chance for safety as the crash between
the cars followed Immediately the cries
of warning issued by the conductors
and motormen as the jumped from the
trains.
Tho two cars came together with such
awful force that they were not only
telescoped, but they were actually bat
ted out of all semblance to their
original shape. They were simply a
mass Of splintered wood and twisted
iron and steel, eight feet high. In this
pile of wreckage, the dead and wounded
were flung in every conceivable position
and every imaginable form of multila-
ton. Some OF the bodies Of the dead
were actually torn apart and streams
OF blood flowed down the debris in a
dozen places.

FREED ON UNwRITTEN LAW.

Katherine Botti, a girl OF only IS
years, who slew her godfather with an
axe and a red-hot poker in ayenging
his theft OF her honor, was cleared OF
criminal charges in Pittsburg, Pa, late
yesterday on the ground that the homi-
eide was justifiable. Judge John NJ.
Swearingen, in charging the jurors
after a two-days recital of testimony,
upheld the unwritten law. The girl
had forced the trial with confidence
that her act was warranted, but she
went to her home yesterday evening
free but to face motherhood soon.
PasQuale Volpe, an Italian, who had
boarded at her home in Wilmerding
ever since the girls infancy and who
acted as her godfather, was the victim.
While she was in the cellar getting a
sack OF potatoes he is alleged to have
abused her, and on August IL last, fol
lowing which she struck him uncon-
scious with an axe and ran a poker
through his body. She related her
story on the stand.
He bad burned my heart" she
said, "and l wanted to burn his.' A
number of witnesses testified to the
girls good character, to her studious
habits in school and hard work at home
helping her mother
Although the girl had been indicted
for first degree murder, the prosecution
had not pressed for conviction entail
ing so severe a penalty. Attorney Rou-
and merely urged that the child be
placed in an institution, but the girls
counsel dramatically demanded liberty
or death"
Judge Swearingen's charge was that
If Volpe went to the cellar with express
purpose to commit an abuse against
the girl, the child had a right to kill
him.
