DROWNED IN KETTLE
Fourteen Months Old Child browns
i'm Kettle Near Strawberry
Point

Last Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Geo
Stamp of Dundee, were called upon
to mourn the loss of their little
daughter, Marion. The little girl
OF fourteen months, toddled
through the door, enticed by the
golden sunshine out of doors. When
the mother, who was canning fruit
looked around and missed the baby
she Immediately made a search OF
the yards. A large iron kettle under
the caves of one of the buildings
separate from the house had caught
partially full during the recent
rains and it is supposed the baby
lost her balance reaching for her
kitten as it was found in the kettle
afterwards. Mrs. Stamp summoned
the aid of her neighbors, in the
meantime doing what she could to
restore her baby. Medical aid was
called but to no avail as the little
spirit had winged its way to the
heavenly home.
The entire community sorrows
with them in their loss. The obitu-
airy appears elsewhere.
Mrs. Stamp, who is in critical
condition, was taken to Hopkinton,
Monday evening, to the home of her
aunt, Mrs. Livingston where she
will receive medical treatment

A Non-BreakabIe Husband.

d. Hollie Glass is a young man
of 33, grocer doing business in
Fort Worth, Tex. The man of brit
tie name was married six months
ago to the fifth wife. The others
had been put away for one reason
or another or for no reason at all
and now he has filed suit for di-
yorce from the last, alleging that
she is altogether too affectionate-
so affectionate that she interferes
with his business and disturbs his
rest. He has used the same en-
gagement ring with all, holding
title to it as the brides were eman-
cipated; and in his pride of review
he allowed" the ring would be u.s.
ed again. 1t would seem that Glass
ought to be broken up in business.
