parents home in innocent, childish
glee, the 18-months-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Snyder of Reads
town, near Viroqua, stepped off into a
pail of scalding water, burning the
skin from the hips to the feet in a
horrible manner. The receptacle of
water had been placed beside the
porch but few moments before, and
the child, quite unmindful of the peril
that lay in that direction, was plunged
into it, feet downward. Although a
large part of the little body is affect
ed, it is thought the child will recover.
Miss Allie Sherron, young girl of
about twenty-eight years of age, was
again returned to Monroe yesterday
afternoon, after her eighteenth time
at running away. Poor Allie is unus-
ually unfortunate-she has her right
mind and then again she hasn't. Mon
roe authorities are uncertain what to
do with her now. She just came back
from GAINESVILLE, where she went to
see the world-as she stated when
picked up by Sheriff Solbraa. Allie is
of a very morose nature. For days at
a time she will go about never speak
ing to a soul-and then all of sudden
will turn up missing. She has visited
nearly all of the larger towns near
Monroe, but is always brought back
She has been sent two or three times
to the Mendoza asylum at Madison,
and once to Waukesha, but poor Allie
is certainly not enough "off her head"
to be kept at such an institution, and
yet what can be done with her? She
says she doesn't care for the boys, and
has never been kissed by one in her
life, so her motive in running away
cannot be "the boys"
A card received from Mr.. and Mrs.
Guy O. Glazier, who are making a
homeward trip from Baraboo to San
Diego, Calf, in an automobile, says
they are laid up at Hastings, Neb., in
rain and snow storm. The card says
they have abandoned sleeping in the
car and taken rooms in a house; also
a place where there is plenty to eat.
Cooking a meal in the open and un-
dertaking to eat it there is not one
OF the happiest situations in the
world, they concluded. They travelled
through rain, snow and mud for sew
eral days, and will remain in Hast
| ings until the weather and roads set
