Is Indicated

As result Of testimony offered by
Dr. Chu Fong and the contradictory
statements made by the parents al
the coroner's inquest held last might
over the body of the infant daughter
of Chin Kim Sut, Korean, sufficient
evidence has been gathered by At
torney Fred w. Milverton to hold the
father to the Grand Jury on two
charges of infanticide.
Further evidence, taken from the
records OF the Kauikeolani Children's
hospital shows that on July %, 1911.
The six.weeks-old daughter of the
same father, was brought to the hos
pital and treated for fractures OF the
legs and arms, alleged to have been
received by the infant as. the result
of fall.
On July %, 1911. the child was dis
charged as well and returned TO its
parents, but six weeks later it died.
supposedly as the result of the shock
from its injuries.
Told Two Stories.
Shin Fong, the Chinese Goctor who
was called BY the parents ON Tuesday
to attend the baby on whose body the
inquest is now being held, testified
that at that time the mother had told
him that the child had been bitten BY;

that the child had nos fallen. although

My mother and father never say any
thing, but laugh when I speak about
beau. Do you think they would OBJ

4-What would be a nice way to
have silk dress made?
81 am cross at a friend of mine.
He thinks the fault is mine, but the
truth is the fault is his. He told a
girl friend of mine that he wouldn't
speak until ask his pardon Now,
dear friend. what would you advise me
to DO?
SIS my writing coed? Do you
think so, IS and 80 were the right
marks for my writing?

BE good friends with the nice boys
| but don't think of having a beau until
you are a few years old. A beau is a
serious matter, my dear. The kind of
boy that would please you now will not
please you at all when you are eigh-
teen or twenty years old. and nice
she is old enough to marry. Your pa
rents 90 not consider your thought of
beau as a serious matter because you
are so young. That is why they laugh.
They would probably not like it very
well if they thought you were serious
about it.
3-Do not send him a card. Get
some mutual friend to introduce him
to YOU.
Choose d style from the fashion
pictures in one of the popular wom-
ems magazines.

him. If he wants to be friends with
you he'll come around If not, you

young to come home with young fell

come with fellows. but do you think it
would be proper to refuse their com
pany as long as we know they are de-

think 10 o'clock is too late for us to
be uptown Sunday evenings? Are
we too young to make dates with any

that you could not leave your business
this year.
But we might have run out to some

Yes, but you showed me figures to

in the city.

Mr.. Bowser reflected for a while and
then suddenly exclaimed: :.
"By the horn spoon, but why maven I
I thought of it before?"
Taking day OFF,
mo; taking night off During the
day one is full of business and doesn't
notice it so much, but when night
comes one longs for the peace ana
quietness of the country. I have seen
nights in summer when I'd have given
IS to hear the voice of a tree-toad.
do you mean that you'd like to go
out and stay at some farmhouse over
night?" asked Mrs. Bowser.
farmhouse be hanged! 1 mean that
I'd like to get beyond the sight and
sound of the city and pass the night
under tree. That would be getting
close to nature. One could think and
ponder and reflect. The soft rustic of
the leaves, the chipping of the crickets,
the low call of the night birds-all
these things would touch a responsive
chord in a mans soul. Say, I'm going
to try it on this very night"
you are so easy to take cold In
your head, you know"
Never had a cold in my head In my
life. and you know it. It will be use
less for you to raise any objections"
