Albina Sagerini Sustains
a Broken Leg

Albina. the 11.year old daughter Of
Mrs. M Sagerini, met with a serious 40
oident Tuesday afternoon while riding

the ranch at Pinto Greek on horseback
about 8 o'clock in the afternoon to bring

ley about four miles when her horse
stepped into . two foot badger hole and
fell, throwing her to the ground and
breaking her right leg midway between
the knee and thigh.
The accident occurred in the high
sagebrush, and IL 10 thought the little
girl must have lain where she fell for
nearly two hours before being found.
As William Evans and Charlotte
Spaulding were driving some cattle
through the valley about 8 o'clock they
noticed . horse saddled aud bridled
standing in the brush at some distance,
and as no rider could be d~iscerned, rode
down { the animal to investigate. Just
before reaching the horse they found
the little girl laying where she had fal.
len. helpless and suffering from the
broken leg and other injuries che had
received.
Leaving Miss Spaulding with the lit
tie girl, Evans went over to the Newark
mill and obtained William Laird's
horse and cart and took the injured girl
home. arriving there late in the evening.
Their nearest neighbour. the Ro9an.
tini's, were informed Of the unfortunate
accident and went over the same even.

Nervousness may not be catalogued

The mother who is nervous will al.
ways have a nervous baby, and unless
that baby is treated in the proper
manner the nerves will develop most
troublesome habits, to say the least.
Take, for instance. the case Of a
young mother who cannot sleep we'll.
her child will not sleep either; he will
not grow as much as he should, nor
in the way he should. His food will
not agree with him. In the first place.
and unless this trouble is corrected
early in his life, chronic indigestion
will certainly be his Inheritance.
The lack of sleep and poor assimila.
ton of the food he takes will produce
all sorts of ailments. undermine the
health and arrest the natural devel-
opment. -
If the mother does not nurse the
baby-and 1t is better for the nervous,
anaemic mother not to attempt It
then the selection OF proper food ia
a great problem. Cows milk modified

noA. An old man drowsed In the
carpet-seated rocking chair, snoring
with exasperating finality. Hong, the
Chinese cook, was scrubbing the din

loated out through the window from

gaily. But neither peace nor industry

ed by anything ranging from stick

dead mice were in favor. and just be-
yond the. barbed wire fence she had
an artistic graveyard. the extension of
which was one Of her dear desires.
So Pee Wee rummaged through the
dust barrel. There were three mice
in its depths, but one was too tiny
and the other rather untidy looking.
Finally she decided on the third. a
plump, brown fellow who deserved q
respectable funeral and promised to
make a good.sized grave. She knew
where poison berries grew, and with
their luscious redness for decoration
she would have q masterpiece Of q
funeral.
Yet stay, what fun was a funeral
without participants? The only other
small girl in the establishment had
left yesterday. There would be no
one but her self to enjoy the artistic
mournfulness Of 1t all. That would bs
waste Of talent. But the mouse
would not keep until tomorrow, and
perhaps she might never again find
one so satisfactorily deceased. As
suredly some mortuary accomplish
must be found at once.
Perhaps some one was upon the
hill. Optimistically she waded
through the foxtails, holding he,
mouse firmly by its tail. Her skirts
ballooned with the wind. and she
breathed deep. After all, how good
it was to walk in short dresses. When
she reached the top of knoll the
glimpse of blue skirt arrested hsI
