SINGS TO HER DEAD BABY
Child Had Drowned in Four Inches of
Water While Mother Was in
Another Room.

New York.-Mrs Bernard Morris
of 1876 Eighth avenue left her son
Philip, fifteen months old, and her
daughter Helen, two years old, lying
in four inches of water in the bath
tub while she went into another room
In a few moments she heard the
little girl scream. Rushing into the
bathroom, she found the baby floating
face downward in the water. Thinking
the baby had only turned over, the
mother dried him carefully and put
him in his cradle.
For several minutes she sang and
rocked the baby, and then, seing he
was quiet, she put her hand on the
childs face. 1t was cold. Doctor Ros-
enbluth of the Harlem hospital, who
was summoned, said the child was
drowned.

Fine rep serge is a modish material.
The small girl should wear jacket
effects.
There are evening coats of white
taffeta.

In addition to equivalent value in
paper money the Bank of France can
issue legally three bank bills of $40
for every $40 in gold When Finance
Minister Ribot asked the governor of
the Bank of France to open special
gold-receiving Offices in Paris and its
provincial branches M. Pallain already
had taken steps to this end.
Inquiries in many competent quar-
tiers have led to the estimate that gold
money held privately in France
amounts to $7O0,0OO,OO0, or nearly
$80,0OO,OOO less than the total gold re-
serve now at the Bank of France
Few of the depositors say: Il wish
to exchange gold" or, 81 wish to pay
in gold" All make the simple re-
mark: Il bring gold"
Rich and poor alike are conscious
they are taking gold, not to the bank,
but for France.
1t would be a mistake for the public
to imagine that it is making a sacri-
fee in exchanging gold for notes, since
the gold is unemployed and therefore
improbable. The bank is naturally
anxious to keep as large reserve as
possible so as to maintain fully the
credit of its paper issues and at the
same time enable the government to
pay for supplies from abroad in gold.
Another reason why the government
wishes the nations gold to be held in
the strong hands of the bank is to pre-
vent it from being withdrawn pri-
vately under false pretenses to find its
way to the enemy by trickery. Ger
many and Austria are in desperate
straits financially, and are ready to
adopt the most deceitful practices to
get gold.

Miss TOmsyna Carlyle, the student
whose sight has been almost mirac-
ulously restored, is here pictured TAX
ing a happy look at her mothers face,
which for a lifetime of twenty-five
years she had been deprived of seeing.
The almost miraculous restoration
of the sight of Miss Carlyle as she sat
on the deck of the steamer Bear" en-
route from San Pedro TO San Fran
cisco. Cal, is the topic of much dis
cussion among scientists. But the girl
herself valves aside all technical in
quiry in the joy of actually seeing
things for the first time in her life.
Born blind at La Crosse, Wis. the
youngest of nine children, Miss Carlyle
attended a kindergarten and later
graduated at the Wisconsin State
School for the Blind. Against many
protests she entered and took her
diploma from the La Crosse State Nor
NAL school and for several years has
been tutoring blind children, making
enough money thereby to enter the
University of California. Now she can
see and intends to devote her life to
blind children who may never be so
fortunate as she now is.
Il am in a new universe" she de-
clared, zone in which my eyes are not

local hotel told of the visit of Mrs.
John Jacob Aston. formerly Miss
Madeleine Force, on an automobile
trip into New England. With Mrs.
Aston was her pet poodle Mizzie, and
inasmuch as she was unable to re-
tain the dog at the hotel where she
stopped, she sent Mizzie to another
hostelry in care of the chauffeur.
The walters were not surprised
when the chauffeur ordered a So
steak, but when he announced that it
was to be cut up for Mizzie the serv-

with the order. nevertheless. Mizzie

SHOULD NOT
HAVE MOVED
Story of a Man Who Was Max
ina Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On Nav 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained a very inter
esting account Of the experiences or
man from Staples, Mimi. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up a nome
stead in Canada With $3.50 he ana
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook. Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences of few years, IN
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable.
with a small amount Of capital ne
continues the story by stating that
in the fall after a fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, a complete set OF
farm machinery including two wagons
and a Swell top buggy and eleven
head Of cattle. He continues, How
ever, I was not satisfied. l had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and l thought 1t
WOulQ get CACdpO11 0O L OO6oAA w
that demonstrating as a moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as matter
of fact had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept US
in groceries and more, we had now
four mich COWS, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section Of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but / could
not see all that; I had the moving
fever, and decided to sell.
l set the price on the land at $4,000
cash. l could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so I came
down until finally sold for $1,4O0
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third of
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have homestead in Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about $500
worth of honest debts.
True, we have a half section in
place of quarter, but that is no good
to US, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.
In summarizing it all up l see where
I made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as we were before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplate
ing a change of location is to think
twice before you act, and if your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,
stay by your bush till you pick 1t

CAN THERE EVER BE TOO MANY APPLES

In the curren issue of the Farm and Preside a contributor writing about the apple market, says in part:
 Ever since I was a boy I have heard this overproduction talk, vet 1 cannot recall a single instance where any great calamity has re- suited from too much of any one staple, especially if it is good tn eat
 During my boyhood days back in Kansas I made a solemn VOW that when l became a man 1 was going to raise all the fruit l could eat and
 have a surplus for those who do
 not ordinarily get it. It seems like the older I get the more fruit l want and I believe it is true with most of us.
 What if We do raise 125,000 car loads of apples in 1919? Counting geo
 boxes per can, that gives us 62+ mil lion. This is a whole lot less than a
 box apiece, not counting what will be shipped abroad "The poor are obliged to do with out fruit most of the year, and that l isn't right.
 "I expect to raise better fruit than
 the other fellow, and I believe tha!
 well colored, fine favored apples will
 always sell. There may be lots ol
 them, but We shall learn how to dis
 tribute them.'

 ESCAPED PRISONERS
Special to The Republican,

FLORENCE, April 1.-After an other all-day hunt, searching parties from the prison returned tonight without having captured any of the five Mexican prisoners who escaped from the honor camp at the bridge Friday night.
 Although some traces have been found, it is generally conceded to- night that the chances for recap turing the prisoners are exceedingly small. The rains of the past winter have resulted in a copious water supply over large territory that ordinarily would afford few places where the men might obtain water. and under present conditions they will be able to make their way With out across long stretches of barren country without difficulty or danger of detection at the water holes.
