WARM SALT WATER BATHS
Well for Mothers to Know Best Thing
to Do When a Child Has Been
Badly Burned.

All children will play with fire I'M
less they have been taught, either ~
precept or experience, not to do SO,
and accidents will happen even when
every precaution has been taken. 1t IS
therefore most desirable in the case OF
burns that parents should know what
and above all what MOTTO do while
waiting for the doctor to come.
The first thing is to fight shock with
all the resources at command, because
shock is usually the immediate cause
of death. Too often shock is aggravats
ed rather than helped by the treatment
it receives.
Valuable time is wasted and un-
necessary agony caused in trying to
remove the clothing; then various ap-
plications Of oil or of whatever else
the distracted bystanders may have
heard was good for burns are made
until by the time the doctor arrives
irremediable mischief is done.
Do not waste time in any such way,
but Immediately prepare a warm SAT-
water bath and gently place the child
In it. clothes and all. If the clothes
are much burned the warm water will
make them easier to remove, m the
child can be kept in the bath until the
pulse and temperature show that a
reaction from the shock has taken
place. 1t will often be necessary for
some strong and careful person to
kneel and hold the patient in the best
position.
Even after the child has been placed
in bed with the proper dressings the
bath should be given again if there. are
indications that shock is returning.
Always remember that speed is essen
tial. Even the slightest delay Is dan
gerous.
Almost every n believes that IN
the case Of burns water is always
harmful and oil always helpful. You
will be wise to reverse the rule ana
learn it by heart. In ase Of burns
fill the bath with warm water, adding
salt in the proportion of a teaspoonful
to a pint of water, and hold the child
in it, clothes and all, until the doctor
arrives.-Youth's Companion.

c~icusness and interest In his Affairs.
She was sorry for 1t, AZ during .
whole day, however, she noticed .
new speculative expression on the
face Of her companion.
Several times he had passed q
warm compliment. he had even re-
marked that 1t would be time soon
for him to make up his mind as to
whom of the many misses he knew
he would honor with his regular at
tentions.
They had started out In a light
skin on the little lake one afternoon.
Ruth's little sister, Nellie, and the
children Of a neighbor had come down
to the beach with them. They left
them playing on the sand while they
drifted idly along.
II declare. Miss Ruth" spoke Her
bert, arising in the skif and evidently
intending to move nearer to her." you
look a fascinating but q lonely pic
ture sitting there in the stern.
." am very comfortable, l assure
you" retorted Ruth. and then she
sprang suddenly to her feet with q
wild cry Of terror.
Little Nellie had ventured upon a
light raft near the shore. It had
loated away with her, its movement
had swung the child overheard and
she was struggling in the water.
MY sister-my little sister," shrek
- D,,&h aCko will d~Ouyu nh h,,-
ny. hurry, save her!"
In her urgency Ruth clutched at the
arm of her companion. The skiff was
rocking dangerously. Herbert lost his
footing and went overheard.
Ruth supposed he had jumped in
to swim to her imperiled sister. To
her establishment, nay, more to her
horror, she say Herbert puff, foun-
der, cry out like a frightened child
and cling to the boat, nearly tipping it
over.
Help! Help! Pull me in. I'll
drown!" he blubbered in craven
tones. turning ashy pale.
my sister-oh, swim to her, save
her!" cried Ruth.
q" can't swim!" shivered the i'm
poster.
Not swim! You, the hero who saw
ed four people"
1T wasn't me. It was another fell
low of my name" faltered the cow
ard. Let me in-Tm cold! I'm wet!"
Ruth herself would have leaped
overheard to reach her sister, but at
that moment there was q splash.
With a gasp Ruth recognized Willis
Talcott, little Nellie In his arms,
saved just in time. Herbert had got
back into the skin. He rowed ashore
and fed abashed for the woods and
home.
There was a certain sternness in
the face of her lover as Ruth tremu-
lousy approached him, but the old
loyal love light, as well.
II know all about it, DEAR" he said,
"but-was he worth it,"
At all events, they never told Her
bert's mother and sister Of his ihpos-
ture, and the arrival of Mr.. Joyce
checked the young mans wild career.
"Oh, Willis" said Ruth wistfully,
lit was a cruel ordeal that Myra set
me. Never. never leave me again.
And the wedding bells rang soon.

NEW YORK FINDS
 THAW INDICTMENT
Charges Crazy Man With Con- spiracy--Lawyers Marvel at
 Jerome's Action.

New York, Oct. 27.--The New York grand jury today returned an indictment against Harry Thaw, the escaped lunatic from
 Mattewan asylum, charging him
 with conspiracy in making his escape from the institution.
 The indictment was made at the special request of Attorney William Travcrs Jerome, who is a special attorney representing
 the state in it's efforts to secure
 the reurn of the prisoner from New Hampshire, where he is held
 await ing the decision of Cover nor Felkncr on the request of Governor Glynn for the extra dition of Thaw.
 Lawyers in New York laugh at the indictment of man already aujudgeu an insane person, be- cause under the law of all states no insane person can commit a
 crime. and as New York state considers Thaw all insane per- son Inc cannot in this stale com init any crime. However, Jerome thinks it is necessary to charge i ThaW with a crlmc, else Cover nor Felker will refuse to turn Thaw over lu the New York off crrS.
 1 On September 23rd. Jerome in ! his argument before Gov. Felker stated that an indictment had l been found against Thaw, but the ! atorneys for Thaw called his statement and demanded that he produce the indictment. which he ; was unable to do. It is expected ; that charges will be preferred
 against Jerome for unprofeS- sinnal conduct for making a positive statement and knowing ! il to be an untruth.
 ; Thaw and his attorneys were
 SD certain that mo indictment had been found against him that he offered himself. and his attorneys ] for him, that if Jerome would produce the indictment at that : time. or would show within a
 reasonable time that the indict- menl had been found, that he ! wnulu return voluntarily. WaiV- | ing all cXtradition proceedings. /; Jerome. however. refused to come across with the indictment ! he had stated had been returned by the Duchess county grand
 jury between September 8th and 1 22nd.

HUERTA ORDERS
 GEN. D|Az BACK
But Nephew of Former President Stands Pat--Diaz Followers
 Are Arrested.

Ntra Cruz. Oct. i.--Grncral Felix Diaz has refused lo obey the peremptulN demand of Die tatnr lluerta thai Diaz leave Mexico at once. The police have arrested all the members of DiaZ' party whn landed yesterday from the Havana steamer. but up to a late hour today no action had been taken against DiaZ.
 Feeling in this city is very strong against the action of the dictator in refusing tu allow DlaZ tn land and an outbreak Is eX- prctrd at any time. should Diaz lead a second revolt and capture this city it would shut off the railroad connection now held by Huerta from the coast to the cap ital and would make his position precarious. It is expected that Huerta has sel}t many trusted men to Vera Cruz to aid the reg ular ploice and garrison in the event of an uprising.
