Fat Baby Fell Into Well In Texas and
Stuck Fast.
A Texas baby, eighteen months old,
has had a remarkable experience. On
the farm a ten inch well had been
bored to the depth Of twenty-nine feet,
and one Sunday when the workmen
were absent baby undertook to inves-
tigate the hole in the ground, and its
feet slipped and it fell. or rather slid, in.
Fortunately it was fat baby, and
after going down seven or eight feet it
stuck fast BY mere chance the mother
saw the child disappear, apparently
sinking into the earth. and gave the
alarm at once.
The child could not be reached and
had not sense enough to grasp a rope
and be hauled up, SO the neighbors got
to work and dug hole alongside Of
the boring. When it was sunk to a suf-
ficient depth a tunnel was run side
ways and the baby brought out in
safety.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

because It bears a distant rsssmblancs
to the human figure.
The forked root givss It The appsaR-
ance Of having legs, and dbers grow
ing about the top suggest hair, BE-
meath which the wrinkled and twisted

A person skillful with a knife can
make mandrake look very human In
deed. Many Of these were sold in Ger
many for quite large price, as much
as Ga thalers being obtained for one
in 1915.
A very strange. not to say mean,
way of making money, by means Of 4
mandrake, offers itself, so superstition
says, to the person who will steal a
piece of money from poor widow be-
tween the chanting Of the epistle and
