The verdict OF the coroner's jury.
After, viewing and examining the
body OF the child and listening care.
fully to all the evidence before us,
we find that the child's death was
caused by the inhuman treatment and
cruelty of the stepfather Henry

both the stepfather and the mother.
The body of the child was greatly
emaciated, and badly bruised in va.
rious parts, the feet being frozen and
rotted, rendering amputation neces.

the immediate cause OF death. We
further find that the inhuman and
cruel treatment OF the stepfather,

They Were Sold One by One, Vet the
Set Remained Intact.
An old curiosity dealer of Paris re-
| Gently found a new snare for the eter-
nally guileless amateur. He put in his
window five dolls dressed in vaguely
medieval clothes. Collector No. came
in and asked to buy one Of them. The
dealer could not divide the lots, as they
were valuable set, representing the
five senses. After long persuasion the
amateur at last carried one off at
very long price.
Collector No. followed. Could he
have one Of the dolls? "Out of the
question, sir; most valuable set, rep
resenting the four seasons" After
more long persuasion and at a still
longer price one Of the dolls was sold.
When amateur No. called the three
dolls We're the three graces, most
valuable set, which could not be di-
vided. By offering an enormous sum
he carried off one of them.
Amateur No. called and wanted. to
buy one Of the two dolls. What was
monsieur actually proposing? The two
dolls were Adam and Eve, sculptured
and dressed by some forgotten medic
val artist. The pair could not possibly
be parted. The collector eventually
carried off Adam for a gigantic sum.
Amateur No. 5 called and asked: "How
much for that curio? Evidently an odd
one of set"
IAN odd one Of a set!" screamed the
dealer. 1T IS unique piece Does
not monsieur perceive that it repre-
sents Agnes Sorel, the favorite of
Charles V11.?" And the amateur Sc

Players Of the Past. 4
Playing ut chess without seeing the
board is much older accomplishment
than is generally known even among
chess players, Buzecca. an Italian. as
early as 1865 played three games at
once, looking at one board, but not at
the other two. His three competitors
were skilled in the game, but he won
two games and made draw Of the
third. Ruy Lopez, whose name has
been given to an opening; Mangiolini.
Terone Medrano. Leonard da Cuts,
Paoli Boi. Saliva and others who lived
between the thirteenth and seven
teenth centuries were able to play the
game without seeing the board. Father
Sacchieri Of Pavia early in the eight
eenth century played three games at
once against three players without Sec
ing any Of the boards.
It remained for Phillidor. the great
est genius at chess known up to his
time. to play blindfolded In England in
1883 against three Of the best players
then living, winning two games and
drawing the third. surprising his an
tagonists and the throng Of onlookers
by keeping up lively conversation all
the while. Phlllidor's achievement as
to the number Of simultaneous games
has been far outdone by Paul Morphy.
Paulsen, ackburne and several Of
their successors. But Phillidor, lively |
that he was, still holds the |
palm as conversationalist and player
ot the same time.
Phillidor was the assumed name of
Francois Andre Danican, born at
Dreux in 1925 He was educated as
court musician for Louis XIV. He COM
posed music to Dryden's "Alexander's
Feast" and to many operas. all long
since forgotten Dunican's fame does
not live in music, but as Phillidor, the
hess player. As chess player he Wis

SANB0RN CASE IN OCTOBER
Minnesota Rate Law Appeal to Come

The question of the'validity of the

Greenland In Graan.

When you were a boy you used to
sing "On Greenland's Icy Mountain''-
well. the country is simply vast nest
OF green mountains, covered with
snow. Ice and glaciers. These are
known as live and dead glaciers. The
dead glaciers are a mass of snow and
ice which have accumulated between
gorges for million years or more and
have become so condensed that you
could not penetrate the mass except
BY steel drill. The live glaciers are
those that break OF and fall into the
waters and become floating masses of
ice, often inhicting damage to ships.

DastardIy Attempt Made TO Burn CarOthers &

OOmSDOuy CuLOW q NAANN OnAN"eoA -
q front window in Carothers &
Aliens grocery store soon after
midnight last Friday night and
followed it with a sack of hay and
a lighted match, starting a fire
that might have destroyed the
whole business part of town If it
had not been discovered. before it
had burned long.
A. j. Baum, who rooms in the
Standby building, had been to band
practice and had not yet gone to
sleep when he heard a crash OF
breaking glass. Supposing that
burglars were breaking into the
postoffice next door, he got his
shotgun and went to the window.
Hearing no further disturbance,
he started back to bed, when he
noticed q strong light reflected
from the trees in the park. He
aroused G. E. Tracy and Everett
Dye and started to investigate. By
this time the flames were pouring
out of the broken window and a
number of business men were
summoned by phone: Mr.. Baum
went into the store and got rake
and the burning hay was pulled
out onto the sidewalk and the fire
was extinguished. The woodwork
had already begun to burn and
if the fire had been allowed to burn
a few minutes longer it is doubtful
if any of the business part Of town
could have been saved.
Nothing was missed from the
store and it is evident that rob-
berry was not the motive for the
crime. 1t would seem that some
body was trying to satisfy a grudge
AGAINST a part or all Of the hnsl7
ness men IN Laclede. This Is Che
first time that anybody has ever
done anything of this kind in La
clede, and it is to be hoped that it
will never occur again. There is
no direct evidence connecting any
body with the crime, but there is a
chance that the culprit will be
made to pay the penalty.
Thursday night Weaver Bros.
barber shop was burglarized.
Somebody pried the front door
open and took 200 or 300 cigars,
but got no money. This IS the
first burglary Laclede has had this
fall and, as in the other case, there
is no direct evidence, though both
crimes are supposed to have been
committed by amateurs:
