Fatally Burned Playing With Matches

LeesVli!e, March 5.-Paul Warren,
Youngest son OF jim Warren, died
here early this morning from the ef-
fects OF burns received Friday after
noon. The child's mother was sit
ting on the rear piazza when she
heard screams in the street in front
or the ouse. Running to the front
she saw the child in flames, it's en-
tire dress being in a blaze. In at
tempting to put out the fire tho mo-
ther was severely burned, her hands
and arms being almost cooked. It is
thought the little fellow inhaled the
flame before It's dress could be taken
OF by the mother. Children who
were present say that Paul was strik-
ing matches, and that he dropped one
of them on his dress, starting the
blaze.

Of few feet Of lumber and few
days work. A cement floor is but lit
tie more expensive than a good wood
floor and Is many times more durable.
Planks laid over the cement where
the cows stand will prevent injury to

only a little more expensive than an
awkward rigid stanchion. A good
