HOST OF BABIES BROUGHT
THEIR TROUBLESTOEDITOR
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

up by so many voices that it was long
before could make the midnight host
of little children harken unto my voice.
"Oh, yes, it matters very much" ]
! told them.
Promised to Tell Mothers.
Listen to me, dear children, will
mothers that deep in the quiet night
you came to see me and that you are
all very sad and miserable because they
are too selfish to take a little trouble
and have your pictures made to be en-
tered in the contest. I'll tell them
that there are no babies in the world
so lovely as you are, and that you are
sure to win the prizes, and anyway
that you have a right to be given a
chance. I'll surely let them know that
you want all the comforts that $50 offer
ed as the first prize, would buy you, and
that there isn't a baby here tonight
whD would not just dimple into all the
smiles in the world, could he Cor she)
find himself tucked up snug and warm
in that beautiful brass bed offered as
the second prize.
And more than this I am going to tell
them that 1t will be a crying shame
if a single one of you are deprived of
the chance of winning one out Of the
90 splendid prizes offered in the Borden
Baby Contest.
''WiI that do?" I ended
IF you can really make them see how
much we want to come to the contest"
said the little maid, who had pulled my
ear.
Il will do my very best to make them
see." I promised.
And I have kept my word to the little
dream babies who came TO me on Hal
loween night, with their plea that was
so vivid and real that I am not yet sure
il was a dream.

; have begun to dream babies.

= have begun to dream babies.
All Halloween, as 1 lay sleeping, the
door of my room slowly opened and a
curly head popped in. A pair Of big,
bright eyes took an inventory of the
place until I was spied.
Here she isl shouted the boy, as he
flung the door wide open. Then they
trooped in, hundreds and hundreds of
little codgers, all bent on a mighty pur-
pose.
Now, then demanded a thousand
voices at once, you shall decide here,
this very minute, who is the most beau
tiful baby in Washington
They climbed upon my bed and perched
themselves on both head and foot rods.
They sat astride me from my feet to
my chin, so that I could not move an
inch
Now, then, who's pretty?" they de-
manded to know
Every one of you" I answered.
Not Satisfied with Answer.
NO. said a three-year-old boy, en-
phatically, that won't do. Who's the
very b-e-a-u-tifulest baby of all?"
But" I explained, seeing a way out,
Il am not to decide that, you know.
Just the best men you ever saw are
going to judge you by your pictures
when the contest closes, the 18th of No
vember. They are all prominent business
and professional men. but that don t
matter so much as the fact that they
know a heap about little children. I'll
tell you they know a pretty tot when
they see one"
"Humph," exclaimed the baby army,
dOubtfulIy.
do DO
them, and they'll be perfectly fair, and
not overlook a single picture"
Sobbing tragicalIy, a small maiden
PULLED frantically al my ear.
That's why I came she told me,
when she had gained my attention My
mamma says I'm not pretty enough,
and, anyway, it is too much trouble to
take me down to the BaChraCh Studio
and have a picture taken, even if The
Washington Herald has arranged to have
il cost her nothing; so I'm not going to
have the $50 in gold, nor the brass bed,
nor anything"
All Came for Same Purpose.
All the roomfuI of children were listen
ing so intently to this long speech and
they got so excited that they even forgot
to hold down my arms. I got one free
and drew the sorrowing baby to me, but,
Oh, my, they were all sObbing now, and
the talk ran high
That's why we all came. We don't
want to be judged by any old pictures.
We want you to decide now who is the
Bee-u-tifulest baby, and tell the judges.
They'll believe what you say, and if you
don't wy then. wy then" the little
spokesman broke off in a sob.
Our mammas won't have our pictures
taken" ended a thousand voices for him,
so you see you've just got to decide
it now if We are to have any chance"
But listen, children dear, even if
could decide the Borden Baby Contest,
here and now, it wouldn't be fair to all
those hundreds of other little children
who are just as lovely as you are, and
who want the prizes just as badly as
you do; all those babies whose mothers
have sent their pictures in to the con-
test, now I leave it to you, would it be
fair to them"
There was no answer. The room was
just a mass of curly heads bent in sor-
rowful weeping.
Then our coming doesn't matter"
walled tiny tad. and his cry was taken

To Quickly Chase
! Away Wrinkles
CFrum Fashion Review

The surest and quickest way to ebliter-
ate wrinkles of every description, from
the finest lines to the deepest burrows, is
by means of the saxolite formula, about
which we've heard so much of late. Bath
ing the face and neck in the lotion at
once tightens and tones up the skin,
affecting every wrinkle, as well as creased
or saggy tissue about the cheeks, neck,
or chin. Any druggist can supply pure
powdered saxolite, which is most effect
i've. Dissolve an ounce of this in half
pint Of witch hazel, and you have as
perfect a solution as any expert can
make

Flower Holder.

Flower Lover-A very cheap and ordi-
nary flower holder or small jardiniere OF
pottery may be made odd and pretty by
means Of raffia knotted over it.
Solomon's knot, used in macrame, is
one of the prettiest and most effective
knots to use when working with raffia.
Any of the designs used in macrame
may also be used in raffia, but the more
simple patterns are best when covering
the pottery, vases, and bowls.
A red bowl covered with brown raffia,
yellow pottery. and brown raffia, or green
pottery and darker green raffia are all
very attractive combinations.
Card Etiquette.
Martha C.-In making a formal call it
is always necessary to leave cards
whether the persons are at home or not.
It is customary for the wife to carry
the cards and leave them at the proper
time when paying visits together.

ENORMOUS TOLL FOR
RAILROAD WRECKS
TOTAL DISBURSEMENTS OF
RAILROAD FOR PERSONAL IN
JURY CLAIMS is MILLIONS.

Chicago, March G.-The enormous
and growing total disbursements OF
the railroads of the country for
personll injury claims and damage
to freight, amounting in 1908 to
$50. 700. .00O, is urged as one of the
most pressing factors Of railroad eX.
pense to be reduced as a result OF
the interstate commerce commits
sion's refusal to permit an advance
of rates,
Chairman w. J. Wood, of the In
diana railroad commission, who is
also chairman of the advisory board
of the league for public safety with
headquarters in Chicago, found on
investigation that in ten years this
drain has more than doubled.
while the gross earnings increas-
ed approximately 1870 per cent, in 10
years from 1897" he said, the sum
paid for cl miasiercna5. etaoinvb
paid for claims increased 335 per
cent.
"As between 1907 and 1908 the
gross earnings made moderate in
crease, estimated at about per
cent, and one might reasonably sup
pose that reduced tonnage would
cause proportionately small increase
in the amount of claims. On the con
trary the figures compiled from the
returns of twenty-one leading rail
ways, show that the claims leaped
forward 1888 per cent between 1907
and 1908, and woTd have been much
greater but for a phenomenal de-
crease of over three-quarters OF a
million in payment for personal in
juries by one road, which materially
reduced the total percentage of in
crease.
The total of $50, zoe, 900 thus with
drawn from the revenues of the com
panies, is a burden whose weight
is most onerous. Ii is equal to all
the freight earnings of the state OF
Texas; it equals the total revenues
of all the railways of Belgium; II
exceeds the total earnings of the
railroads of Sweden, Norway ant
Denmark combined; it is more thar
one-third the annual earnings of al
Canadian roads; it exceeds the year
ly compensation of all the firemeI
and conductors OF all the railways il
the United States; it is double tn,
yearly pay of the station agents o
this country; it is three times tn,
aggregate salaries of all the genera
officers of the railways in the Unit
ed States.
IF this vast drain accomplished
its ostensible object, il 1t actually
made adequate compensation for in
juries and losses suffered, ther,
might be some consolation for the
roads in contemplating it, But 1t /.
consumed in the payment of coun
sci fees. court costs. the printing o.
briefs, and even the part which
reaches the hands of the complain
ant, often does not remain in his
