fortune came swiftly at the home of
Benjamin Hopkins, near here, when
in the space Of 80 minutes one child
CHOPPED hand nearly off and another
swallowed laudanum, and nearly died
before she could be relieved.
The little daughter, Emma, was the
first victim, in playing with an AK.
Doctors were summoned, and, al
though weak from the loss OF blood,
the child was relieved and the hand
dressed.
During the dressing of the wound
laudapum was applied, and a few
minutes after the doctors had gone the
year-old baby crawled to the bottle
lying on a table and drank the con-
tents.
The mother discovered what the
child had done when she came in the
room and found the empty bottle and
the child lying on the floor. One OF
the doctors had not reached home
when the frightened father caught
him and hurried him back to the
house in time to save the life of the
baby.

Tag Day, June 3

The improvements made on May flower island under the direction of Mir. A. Baritello have cost considerable money and the people of Douglas are not willing that he should pay it all. To meet this obligation and to provide a fund for still further beautifying the popular resort, Douglas citizens have conceived the idea of Tag Day and have decided on Saturday, June 8, as the day.
 Nothing ever started in Douglas has met the general approval ofall the peo. pie as much as Mayfiower island. It has attractions for young and old, and every one will have an opportunity to help little on Tag Day.

Thomas asked one of his negro guides. "A polecat, bossY Why, a polecat's just like kitten, only prettier. Yes, a polecat's heap prettier than kitten, ain't it, Sam?" he said, turning to another negro for corrobor- ation. Sam did not seem to be sure. He hesitated moment.

From the Whitehorse Star

The Stroller has been informed that the board of the local hospital has es- tablished flat rate of S10 per day for sobering jags. Had the board conferred with the Stroller before acting, he would have recommended that sched- ule of prices be arranged on graduat. ing scale. As one jag differeth from another jag in glory, so does one jag re quire different treatment from another. For a plain, button-down. .in-front jag SEQ per day is probably little steep, where for one of those red plush boys that thinks the washstand in the room is bobtail mule or stamp mill, ten per is too cheap.
 For the consideration of the board of hospital directors at it's next meeting, the Stroller submits the following schedule of prices to apply in the jag ward:
 Plain, unverigated jag ..........,S 7'5O Whoop,'em up jag, with red plush
 and balloon trimmings ..... 500 Where patient is lodging earth
 quakes and stamp mills ...... 1000 (S2 per day extra should be added
 in cases where patient sees cir
 cuses and moving pictures on
 the walls.
 Where patient intermittently
 yelIs, "Oh h-lnnHnul" ........ 12.50 When the nurse is requested to
 read to convalescing patient l5Oo When nurse is asked to hold pa.
 tient's hand and read ......... 2OOO
 Cases more serious than those above stipulated should not be admitted to the hospital. They should be sent to the pest house.
