.SEAMSTRESS ATTEMPTS
To ASSASSINATE JUDGE
Woman, Apparently Demented,
Attacks Chicago JuriSt
with Butcher Knife

CHICAGO, oct. IA woman thought
to be demented attempted to assassin
ate Judge Frank Baker of the appellate
court of Cook county on the street here
today. The jurist escaped unhurt. The
woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Burke, aged 40,
a seamstress. used knife with a five
inch blade.
Mrs. Burke was arrested. on her
way to the station she screamed and
struggled. The police could not learn
her motive for the attack She rushed
on Judge Baker as he stepped from his
home to the street, and sought to
plunge a, butcher knife into his heart.
The jurist grasped her arm and strug-
gled with her until Policeman sullivan
appeared.
Judge Baker received no injury, but
his assailant's hands were lacerated.
Frank Baker was elected to the bench
Of the Cook county circuit court tWen-
ty-three years ago and has served ever
since. He was assigned to the appellate
court six years ago.
In her cell later the woman talked ex-
citedly:
"I would have killed him." she de-
clared. IT have been sleeping in parks
and cellars for three weeks and have
had nothing to eat-nothing TO eat
inst think of it! Some weeks ago
friends told me that Judge Baker had
500 for me. 1 called several times to
get it. but he said he knew nothing
of it."
Judge Baker said the woman seemed
to have a hallucination that he had
500 which he was to pay her out of
some mythical trust or court judgment,
and that she had annoyed him for sew
eral weeks.

the afternoon yesterday at the Harvest
Festival in Huntington hall grounds
and by their innocent efforts added
$4,000 to the fund for work among the
poor which the Los Angeles Federation
of Parent-Teacher associations Is main-
tanning.
Fifty thousand persons passed the
gates entering the festival during the
day, and their contribution toward
charity was rewarded by a view of as
bewtching an assemblage of infants as
ever graced a baby show of any kind
held in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Harry Huston, whose en-
thusiastic work for many weeks pre-
vious was rewarded with the phenome-
nal success, had entire charge of the
arrangements. She was assisted by
Mrs. II. w. Creveling, Mrs. A. b. Lord
Mrs. j. b. Hutchinson and Mrs. j. M
McManus.
The judges were Mrs. d. c. stephens,

More than five hundred children were
entered in the show, and it was two
hours after they started that the
judges completed their almost impos-
sfble task Mrs. Huston was over
whelmed at the unexpected number of
contestants, and it was all that she
and many volunteer assistants could
do to adequately handle the crowds OF
proud mothers and eager spectators.
The charming winners and their
happy mothers were given seats OF
honor on the porch, where they were
awarded their prizes.

the ways and means committee of the
federation, had charge of the entire
festival. She was assisted by the
Parent Teacher associations of each
school, and these in turn were divided
into committee IN charge of the diff
ferent attractions.
Perhaps the most attractive of the
booths was the fortune telling booth
which was located in a grOtto formed

trees. Miss Genie West, a clever
negro impersonator, told fortunes with
coffee and tea grounds, and by many
superstitlous omens, which she learned

THE GOSPEL OF cHEERFULNESs
(Bv Mary RusselL)

The habit Of using the family circle
as a clearing house for all the i'll hu-
mors Of the day is one that is sadly
common.
Father sees. like twin ladders, be-
fore his mental vision the prices Of
necessities going up rung after rung,
while the wage ladder fails to reach
with any due proportion the heights
thus attained.
He sees the necessity for either
earning more money or making the
money that he does earn go further.
After years Of testing the wage he
fears a further effort will result in a
swapping somewhere and his wage
earning capacity has been reached. SO
he comes home with the cloud wrapp-
ed so closely about him that it is i'm
possible for the well meant efforts Of
the family 10 penetrate it. Soon the
gloom extends to the whole circle and
then there is misery, indeed.
Mother sees the bottom Of the flour
barrel coming closer 20 the top and
wonders how they will once more put
IL in its proper place, and shakes her
head and sighs-a long tired sigh.
The influence extends to the chill
dren and thus a habit of hopelessness
is formed.
No one has a right 10 make the bur-
den another is carrying any heavier
than IL must be. II isn't easy to
laugh, but is there any great ease to
be gained by signing and crying?
Since the day has gone by when the
ravens fed the hungry, and the ne
cessity Of clothes is apparent TO
everyone, then the gospel OF work is
one that must be preached, but the
gospel OF cheerfulness Is one that
should go hand in hand with IL.
II isn't easy. But IL makes life
easier for those around you. Smile If
you can, but If you can't smile, don't
growL
Did you ever relieve your mind by
"A short sharp word to the child you
love, and would work for till you drop.
and then spend the day feeling OPP
pressed and sad? Perhaps you did
not think IL was due TO that unkind
word, but IL was. II nearly always
works around in "A circle, and though
you are getting what you deserve. we
would be- a rather severely punished
world II we all got what we deserved.
