 The little girl was immediately taken to the hospital by her father, where the wounds were examined and treated Although there are several very bad decorations of the skin of the child's face, one of which is dangerously near the left eye, it is believed the sight will not be per manently impaired.

This Story Is
 Without a Moral

This is the story of Jim Smith. It's true. even if that name isn't very convincing (says Herbett Corey in the New York Globe):
 Two years ago Smith was forty years old, and acted like a patriarch with a boil between his shoulders. The stenographers in the office in which he was chief clerk used to pray every night for Smiths death. They always had tears in their eyes as they iabbed the last hairpin through. From two o'clock on each day his language would raise a blister on a steam boiler His boss told him to consult doctor. He said Smith wasn't fit to die. Smith saw a specialist and the specialist wanted to kiss him.
 You have the most beautiful com- plication of troubles I have ever seen." said he. "It is marvellous marvellous. l regret that my oppor- tunity to study you will be shorten ed by your death, which will occur in about two months. However we may learn something from the au- topsy."
 Smlth'S language 1alled nm. ndt day he resigned his clerkship, drew the $4000 he had saved dime a time, and started out to see the world He had never been out of New York before. As soon as they opened the diner of the west-bound train Smith began opening wine. At Chicago the waiter offered to work for nothing if the company would let him accompany Smith to the Pacific coast He said he had never seen man with such marvellous natural thirst.
 That man never learned how to drink" said the waiter. He was born that way"
 Smith did everything that can be done. he ate everything that can be cooked, he drank everything that can be put in bottle, and he didn't have natural nights rest from the time he packed his money belt. In three months he was stone broke and cured His old boss wired him money to come home on. Three weeks ago he was taken into the firm.

Man Omits Bath and Wife Asks Divorce

COLUMBUS, Ind.-Whether the failure of a husband to take a bath for three months constitutes grounds for a divorce is question Judge Wickens will have to decide at the September term of the Bartholo- new circuit court.
 Mrs Susie Woods has filed suit here against her husband, Dillard C. Woods, and alleges that he has been negligent about bathing. She asserts that his failure to take bath for three months constitutes cruel and inhuman treatment.
 She asserts that in addition to his failure to bathe he refused to change clothing and her attorney has writ ten into the complaint that he be- came filthy. MT and Mrs. Woods were married in January of this year and separated in April.

CONCERNING COMPLEXION.

Some of our young girls have all the delicate fragility of egg shell china. They suggest that puff of wind will dissolve them into fine dust, and their complexions-well their complexions represent one of the fine arts of the day, an art in which hygiene and superior emol lients play far larger part than the old time deleterious face pow der and rouge.
 The girl who takes the trouble and it frequently is a trouble-to preserve her complexion is deserving of the deepest respect.
 Mother Nature must have wept many times over the willful disre- gard of a few daily observances that would have kept skin young and fair far beyond the allotted age of youth. But now there is no ex- cuse, with the many wise men and women prescribing rules whereby We can keep physically fit and mentally alert to present anything save fair clear skin to the world.
