A Sad Death.

Lakenan. Mo, Oct. 28.-Striving
to rescue her little, battered doll,
which had fallen into a slop pail
containing perhaps five inches of
water, caused Baby Frances Hardy
to lose her life by drowning in
the pail
The baby was Is months old, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Hardy, who dwell on a farm about
mile and a half west of Lakenan.
Yesterday afternoon the mother
left the little one alone just a few
minutes while attending to work in
another room of the home. Anx-
ious that the baby should not get
into mischief, or trouble, Mrs Hardy
sent another daughter. about 8
years old, to look after her baby
sister. The older child returned and
said the baby was playing in the
slop pail Instructed to take the
baby away from the pail, the child
again returned and said she could
not do so. The mother went at
once and found out why the baby
had toppled head-first over the
edge of the pail and was quite dead
from drowning. Her doll was
found in the palt, also, and it mute
ly told the tragic little story.
MIR. Hardy is a prosperous young
farmer and both he and his wife
stand high in the community.
They are grief-stricken over the
tragedy. and the community as a
whole is shocked and grieved.
Funeral services over the tiny
corpse were held at the home this
afternoon and interment followed
in the Shelbina cemetery Besides
the parents, there are two other
children in the family.-Quincy

Reformation.

A writer in the National Munich
pal Review calls attention to the
danger in a multitude of organ
izations," and gives an astonishing
list of leagues, societies. associations,
organizations and declarations. This
multiplication of organizations is a
direct result of the initiative and
referendum and popular govern
ment ideas. We have distributed
the state and taken things into our
own hands, with the result that
organization in the effort to have
our ideas adopted into laws has be-
come baneful influence. The chief
evil of such organizations, however,
is to be found in the multiplicity of
statues which express the zeal of
petty groups and small minorities,
and not the considered judgement
of the mass of the community.
Such laws are largely unenforced
or unenforceable, and they them
selves Great an evil far outweighing
the good they were intended to &C.
complish. even if that good were in
reality attained. 1t is pity that so
much civic feeling is dissipated by
its diversion into so many petty
channel. Laws should express the
main stream of community thought
and no more.

How Clouds Are CoIored.

The color of a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon it and the position of the obser-
yer. It will be noticed that high
clouds are always white, or light in
color, and this is because the light by
which they are seen is reflected from
the under surface by the numberless
drops of moisture which go to form
the cloud.
Heavy rain clouds, on the other
hand, are found much nearer the
earth, and so the light falls on them,
more directly from above. giving a sill
yer lining to the cloud, though the I'M
der surface appears black, owing to
the complete reflection and absorption
of the light by the upper layers. Seen
from above by an observer in a bal
loon the blacklist rain clouds appear
of the most brilliant white.

Gill, Meenl, Gillespie.

The name Of Gill is probably older
than that of McGill as the prefix Mac
signifies son Of" and the name would
therefore In olden times be borne by
one whose father was a Gill. 1t is
extremely doubtful II there is any
connection at all between the above
names and that of Gillespie. In Gaelic
this name is Gilleasbuig, translated in

Bringing a Balky Horse to Reason

DTingluR Ddlhy tlOTSe 10 NedSOu
There are few things more exas.
perating than a balky horse, and
few more announcement Losing
ones temper is of no more avail
here. however than in most other
cases, and the best way to overcome
the animal is to meet him with his
own methods but with thoughtful
and scientific handling. Horses
usually balk from one of two rea-
sons. stubborness or fear. The way
to deal with a balky horse is there
fore to get his mind off the sub.
ject.
This is more easily said than
done, but there are several simple
ways of bringing this about. Beat
ing, kicking, and whipping are not
among them, for this only serves to
make the horse more stubborn or
frightened than ever. Putting sand
in his ears is also a practice to be
sternly turned down. But how
shall we bring about the desired
effect?
1t is an old proverb that the way
to, mans heart is through his
stomach. The same seems to be
true of the horse, One of the most
successful methods of persuasion is
that of lump of sugar or an appl e
coupled with a little coaxing If
verbal coaxing does not succeed,
try lifting his foot gently and pull
ing it along Do not yank him
however, if he refuses to come.
Sometimes the apple or lump of
sugar does not happen to be at
hand; in this case offer him a
mouthful of sand instead. 1t will
not be as pleasant, but it may serve
to take his mind off his other
troubles and it will not hurt him.
Experience has also shown that
horse may sometimes be started
by tapping one of his hoofs gently
with a hammer or stone. 1t is we'll
to remember that the horse, like
his master, is far more likely to re-
spond to kind than abusive treat
ment. The American Boy,
