EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

In the town Of Biddeford, Ne, two
men and a woman were recently jailed
On very serious charges, because the
two little daughters of the woman told
the sheriff some startling stories about
a grave out in their yard.
Fortunately, the man who was sup
posed to have been inhabiting the grave
appeared in the nick of time and prov
ed that he had not been murdered and
the accused were set free.
And now-courage comrades, this is
what I am driving at-the children 5
father has come forward and declared
grave from story which he once told
them. To frighten them away from
the swamp and brook in which there
are some deep and dangerous holes, he
says he told the children that. man
and two COWS were buried in that vi
entity
A rather ludicrous outcome for a
near-tragic situation, isn't it?
But I don't believe that father will
try again very soon to make his chill
dren mind by making up bug-a-hoos
for them. do you?
And I just hope that some of the
fathers and mothers who read about
this woman's narrow escape from a
murder trial will also be impressed with
the same lesson.
Not long ago an even more terrible
tragedy than this was caused by the
same trick. A woman who was cross
ing the Atlantic with two little chill
dren tried to keep the baby from cry
ing by telling him that If he cried
again she would throw him out the
portfolio into the ocean. A few min
utes later. while the mother was out
of the stateroom. the baby cried and
the other child actually carried out its
mothers threat.
OF course these are unique and hor-
rible examples of the danger of tell
ing lies to children to frighten them
into obedience. Let's take a more
commonplace one. A prominent doc
If 1 will protest against using the doc
tor as the bugbear with which to
brighten children. He says he is con-
stantIy hampered in his diagnoses Of
children's diseases by their unreason-
ing terror because they have been told
that if they aren't good their mother
will get the doctor to come and cut
out their tongues or perform some
other pleasant" little operation. The
result is that when they are really
sick and the doctor is sent for they
run screaming away at sight of him
and a careful diagnosis is almost i'm
possible That really serious results
might follow from such state OF al
fairs anyone can easily see.
Every fear is a fetter to our fullest
development and our freest action
We who are older have learned this
by hard experience. Then, surely, we
ought to try to free our children from
any fears that they may naturally
have instead of serving our mOmentary
convenience by binding them with new
shackles.

Men Died of Suffocation From
the Accumulated Smoke

NINE OFFICIALS CLAIM THAT
DAMAGE TO NINE IS SMALL
The Fire Occurred in "China' the
Lowest Part of the Workings and
Was Seven Hundred and Fifty Feet
Below the Surface.

Scranton, Pa, April Sup to 9:45
o'clock this morning, seventy bodies
had been taken out Of the ill-fated
Pandcoast mine at Throop where a
ire yesterday entombed many men.
The indications are that others are yet
8" be found and the grim tragedy Of
: q colliery will be far more awful
than was anticipated.
The mine officials admit that tweu-
ty or more men may be in the mine.
The fire, which started in one Of the
iaoisting engine rooms in the china
vein, 75O feet below the surface, the
lowest working in the wine, did not
do as much damage to the working as
had been believed. The fire did not
reach the entombed men and the con-
dition of their bodies shows that death
was due to suffocation from the
smoke or asphyxiation from the &C
cumulated gas. None Of the bodies
which were found In q heap in the
blind gangway were in the least mu-
tilated. Forty-four of the bodies
have been identified. Many of the
victims were foreigners and are
known only by a number or nickname.
