eight YEAR old
boy PLAYS HERO

Atlanta, Oct. 29.-An eight-year-oii
boy named Homer Hill, of Charleston,
risked his life yesterday afternoon in
a vain attempt 20 save his baby sis
ter from burning to death.
The little girl, four years old, tried
to place a stick of wood on an open
fire, and in an instant her little dress
was in blaze. The children's parents
were both absent from the home at the
time. The little boy grabbed bucket
of water and threw it over his sister
and then grabbed her in his arms,
throwing her on the floor and endeay-
oring to smother the flames with his
own body.
Neighobors who rushed in found the
boy tearing away hislittle sisters still
smouldering garments. The little girl
had been fatally burned, and died 2
couple OF hours after the acct
dent. The boy was burned only on
the hands.

30 Days For silt Skirt.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Residents Of
Passaic, N. j., had an idea that the
modern slit skirt called for a petit
coat reaching to the ankle and when
Miss Mary Adamson dispelled their
delusion their establishment took such
a demonstrative form that the young
woman was today sentenced to serve
81 days in the county jail When the
young woman was arraigned in court
the policeman said to the magistrate:
Just take a slant at the skirt,
Judge"
The magistrate leaned far over his
desk, surveyed the aperture on the
starboard bow and asked:
"They tell me, young lady. there is
another opening like that. Please tura
around" m
Miss Adamson turned gracefully, ;
that her green stocking showed plainly
through the port quarter opening.
There was no petticoat in evidence.
II think you'd better go to jill for 30
days while your friends make few
petticoats and other things for YOU"
said the magistrate.

.SPURNED KISS
OF PRETTY GIRL
HUGHES SAYS HE REFUSED TO
KISS MISS MINTYRE IN TELL.
ING OF AMOROUS INCIDENT AT
SECOND MEETING.

New York, Oct. 2s,-"She offered to
kiss me, and l refused.
This sentence, whispered to Supreme
Court Justice Hooker and a jury, in
the husky voice of William Hughes,
wealthy Brooklyn manufacturer, was
the first intimation of his defense TO
Miss Mary |. McIntyre's $150,000 suit
for breach of promise.
Before Hughes had gone from the
witness stand he gave the jury to I'M
derstand that he was wax in the hands
of the comely school teacher, and that
his sixty-five winters were no match
for her forty summers.
Justice Hooker was somewhat sur-
prised at the line of testimony.
"This is a man quite capable Of
taking care of himself" he remarked
to Hughes lawyer.
Il think we will prove that he was
not able to take care of himself, anil
that there was a preconceived plan
to dra whim into this marriage con-
tract" Attorney Mcdonald retorted.
AS to the hugs and kisses" with
which the aged manufacturer sprin'
killed. his love letters SO thickly he
made this explanation:
Il put in all those kisses to fill VI
the space in the letter.
He was quite certain he didn't mean
half of what he wrote, and that Miss
Mcintyre took the lead in the love-
making.
Says She Begged Kiss.
Hughes admitted first meeting Miss
Mcintyre at his daughters home He
said she proposed meeting in the
dining room of a well-known hotel,
and he agreed. "On coming out" h.
said, "she threw her arms around me
and said, Kiss Me-"
He corroborated Miss Mcintyre on
the main points of their courtship.
But he denied the diamond ring was
given to mark their engagement.
81 had promised Miss Mcintyre Il
ride in my automobile and had failed
for several weeks to keep my prom
ise," he asserted. when l went 10
her home she was so put out with me
because of this that I gave her the
diamond ring in order to put her in
good humor."
Miss Mcintyre was asked if this
ring was really peace offering"
She denied it emphatically THAT
would be a peculiar peace offering for
an automobile ride, wouldn't it?" she
asked. She admitted having accepted
about $3.50 from Hughes in various
sums to spend for clothes and other
things.
Hughes testified that when he con-
fded to his four daughters the news
of his secret engagement and APP
preaching marriage two of them
tainted.

ALL LOOK FOR GRATITUDE
Nothing That Can Be Bestowed Is
Able to Take Its Place in the
Human Heart.

Gratitude given or received is one
of the best things in the world We
need far more of it anG far better quail
ity. Yet I have never read any salts
factory account of what it so glorious
ly means. It's value begins just where
the value of pay ends. Thanks are
personal, and attempt to fit an ade-
quate response to the particular serv-
ice performed. PSy is an impersonal
coin which has been handed out to
many before it reaches you, and will
go to many others when it leaves you.
1t IS your right and you are not CRATE
full for it. But thanks are free gift
and enrich the giver. There is no
nobler art than the art of expressing
ones gratitude in fresh, unhackneyed
unexaggerated terms which answer
devotion with fresh devotion, fancy
with new fancy, charity with SINGER
ity. Artists who get their reward
only in money and in the stale plaud
it's of clapping hands are restless for
something more individual. They
want to be intimately understood and
beautifully answered. For such graft
tude they look to brother artists, to
the few who really understand. There
they find their best reward--but ever
this leaves something wanting

TO STOP COTTON WATERING
British Government Plan TO Adopt
Legislation Against Practice
In India.

Communications are now
passing between the India office and
the Indian government on the ques-
ton of Lord Crewe's suggestion that
legislation should be passed to pro-
hibit the watering of cotton in India.
Up to the present the Indian gov
eminent has steadily declined on va
rious grounds to undertake legisla-
ton against adulteration in general,
but the practice of watering cotton
after ginning to increase its weight
has assumed such proportions that
the government now feels that some
attempt must be made to stop it by
executive action.
Although Indian cotton contains as
rule less water than American,
Egyptian or Chinese, yet it is well
known that in the cotton districts in
India pumps and hose appliances are
used, without any attempt at secrecy,
to saturate the cotton with water,
which is not always of the cleanest,
the idea being to cheat the buyer by
selling him water for cotton at so
much a pound. Another form of adul-
iteration is mixing The ryot seems
unable to resist the temptation to mix
his damaged or discolored bolls with
his sound ones, but even if he does
the result is vitiated by the action of
the middleman, who promptly mixes
inferior cotton with the good.

Chimes Artist.

In the fourth century A. D. there
lived in China an artist. who was also
poet. His name was Ku Kai-chih.
In London there is a painting, long
scroll, which for at least thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, 1t
is in all probability painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he in
trusted to friend a chest full of
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid of
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal. The friend however
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and SO abstractine
them. When the box was restored tc
Ku K'ai-chih, he broke the seal and
found it empty But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise
Beautiful paintings, he said, communi

This appears to have been too much

it to the proof, and the sea continued

those courtiers experienced a bad
