Both the mother and the child did
well. Last Friday came an interest
ing Developments Another ehild--ta
girl-was born.
The existence Of the. boy, who g
only 6 weeks older than his baby
sister, threatens to raise problems
which will make the Barrow babies
famous. From medical point Of
view they are. twins, but regarded
from the cold standpoint sof Greenwich
time, they missed twinship by six full
weeks: y
The case gives the insurance com

IF the children are not adjudged to
be twins, he win be entitled to receive
another $50, but if they are twins
the act counts them as one.

LIGHTS IN sPEARING PRO-
HIBITED BY NEW LAW

A new law, which will practically
do away with night fishing, has been
signed by the governor. Spearing with
the aid Of light will be illegal under
the new law and the season for spear
ing in the creeks and rivers now being
at hand the amount Of suckers and
pickerel taken this year will be con
siderably diminished. It has been Gus
tomary for local fishermen to spear by
artificial light in the Mississippi here,
but this will no longer be lawful
practice, and the fishermen with nets
will have the advantage.

And when she smiled at me I went
And smiled at Mary Ann
Out in the kitchen, and she lent
It to the hired man.
So then he smiled at some one who
He saw when going by,
Who also smiled and ere he knew
Had wrinkles in his eye;
So he went to his office then
4 And smiled right at his clerk,
Who put some more ink on his pen
And smiled back from his work.
He came home to his supper,
Gave his wife. a smile Of cheer,
For smiling at him from the board

en- walk. leading over Is feet Of water
to the municipal bathhouse in the
Merrimac river gave way under a
crowd of impatient boys and at least
twelve of the little fellows were
drowned There may be more bodies
in the stream.
The boys, ranging from nine to If
teen years were waiting for the bath
house keeper to open the door, No
one knows how many there were in
the party, but it is thought that forty
is conservative estimate The boys
were jumping up and down as they
ports sank and the walk extension
dropped like trap door
Some Swim to Safety.
There is a swift current at this
point, drawn by the falls, quarter of
mile below. Many of the boys could
not swim. Witnesses on the river bank
say that all disappeared in a flash, but
moment later there was struggling
mass on the surface. The stronger
ones, VINO could swim, struck out
bravely for the boathouse and score
saved themselves Their cries brought
aid and several others were pulled
ashore. Five unconscious forms were
brought from the water and two of
these were finally resuscitated Eff
forts to restore the others were futile.
1t was thought at first that only
three drowned and it was not until
two hours later that the probable loss
of life was realized. A boy in the
crowd of distracted persons on shore,
missing his chum, set up cry:
Il don't see Rollie. He must be
drowned"
Boats and graphing irons were then
brought and the river bed was drag
ged When the work ceased late at
night IL bodies had been recovered.
