tion that another baby was born to q
woman who shared the room with Mrs.
Rich. This baby was a boy. The
mother was Mrs. Julia Sabio. Of 331
Railroad Avenue, Jersey City. Mayor
Hague Immediately dispatched a
messenger for Mrs. Sabio. On her ar
rival she testified that she had heard
DR.. Russell, the attending physician,
say that the Rich baby was a boy.
Mayor Hague said his interest in the
case was to try to see that Mrs. Rich
receives her own child.
"We are going to make every effort
to give you your own child" said the
Mayor to Mrs. Rich, "and try to make
you very happy mother. II this baby
isn't your own child we will do every
thing possible to get it. If it is your
child you will love 1t, won't you?n
II certainly will il you can prove to
me that il is my baby" replied Mrs.
Rich.
DR.. Russell testified that he had de-
livered the child, that 1T was a girl and
that 1t was the baby OF Mrs. Rich. This
seemed to convince her and she went

Fortieth Anniversary
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ReY.T j. Simons. MiniafeI

WV " oAuA0uof minister.
Next Sunday we are going to cele-
brate the fortieth anniversary of the
organizing OF the First Presbyterian
Church Of Miller, s. ID. This is to be
commemoration of a big event in the
early history Of The Dakotas. 1882
was the boom year. We are going to
celebrate with two special services.
In the morning Rev. II. p. Carson, d.
d., early Presbyterian Superintendent
OF the Dakotas, will give a reminis-
cent address and the Adult choir will
have special music.
In the evening there will be a var
led program consisting of special mu-
sic under the direction Of the Adult
choir, an historical sketch by the Pas
tor, a greeting from our sister church
the Methodist Episcopal and reading
Of letters from former Pastors and
members and a greeting from the St
Lawrence Presbyterian church, which
was organized on the same day as our
church.
The Schools of the Church will meet
as usual. We want especially all the
Senior school to be present at the
morning service to hear DIR. Carson
on the early times in the state.
Everyone is invited to these services
particularly the old timers to greet
our old timers. Mrs. Kate Dean was
a Charter member. Mrs. Kellough
was here at the time as was also Mrs.
Mccoy whe was the first secretary of
the Aid Society. Perhaps it will APP
pear that there we're other first set
tiers now living in our midst.

JUST M MINUTE!

Fire Marshall's Bulletin-You can
read this in one minute.
BY the time you reach the last line,
property worth 1923 will have been
destroyed by fire somewhere in the
United States.
Minute after minute, day after day,
on the average, this appalling pace
keeps up, to a grand yearly total Of
$4S5, 900, 900.
That, at least, was the record in
1921. What the showing will be this
wear, and in the years TO come depends
in large measure, on YOU.
Ninety per cent of all fires are pre-
ventable, for they are due 20 careless
ness.
Take a look in your cellar, your
attic, that closet. Clear out the rub
bish-the old stuff stored away be-
cause maybe some day we'll find a
use for it," Many fires about the
house are born in trash piles.
While insurance marks the differ
ence between protection and destitu-
ton, every American home has it's
treasured possessions whose worth
cannot be computed in terms of money
and can never be replaced.
A minutes thought now may ave
the patient accumulation of a lifetime
from the ravages Of fire.
After all, it's chiefly a matter Of
protecting your Owl dwelling and
those whose presence there make it
HOME.
Isn't it worth a minute to you?

WATER USERS ATTENTION!

Upon examination Of the City Water
Books we find there are q number Of
water users behind in their payments,
and these accounts MUST be paid at
once, 1t is costing the City about
100000 per month to pump this water
to you and the water fund is running
behind because of sour failure to pay
your bill. This will be tolerated no
longer. and unless you pay water rent
promptly your supply will be cut off
and you will be forbidden to use City
Water.
The City Ordinance provides for ar
rest and fine for using City water
without paying for same, and the wa
ter fund must be self-sustaining, so
when you receive water cards pay the
amount at once to City Treasurer
John Williams at the Hand County
State Bank and all will be well. Give
this immediate attention and avoid
trouble.

 Who drinks of terror tastes stronger liquor than is brewed by man. The drink died in him, the uproar in his brain ceased, and his thoughts seemed all at once to become very small and still. He was confronted for the first time with the most dreadful experience that life hold-a fact for which there was no explanation. And as he stood there, great gray-brown beast, like huge dog noiselessly leaped the park wall and trotted out into the middle of the street. MT. Cabbit started back and the creature turned his head For moment they stared at each other, and MT. Cab bit sniffed curious rank smell that he associated somehow with visit he had once made to the Bronx Zoo. Then, with shake of his head, the animal loped off down side street.
 1t was then that MT. Cabbit first began to run. Down the centre of the street he rdculously raced tiny and frantic figure in the immense indiffer- ence of the avenue His black derby hat fell off, but he plunged heedlessly on, leaping fallen trees stumbling in wide cracks that igzagged across the asphalt. scrambling over the heaps of fallen masonry that ever and again barred his way.

darkness and desolation which before had been disquieting, were now actively sinister. For the tree had convinced him that, whatever dreadful thing had happened to the city, something still dreadful had happened to him. He dared not even think.
 But MT. Cabbt not in training. And pres ently even terror gave way to the sheer physical need of getting his breath He collapsed gasping against the park wall. And immediately from somewhere among the wind-swept shrubbery of the park wild screaming burst of laughter. NHR. CABBIT went on.
 WI Staggering and stumbling he went on
 Again and again he fell. Dim shapes moved reluctantly from his path to scramble over the park wall, or disappear in ruined doorways And once group of little black-man-like creatures fled chattering and swung themselves upward across the facade of tall house. Tattered and streaming with precipitation, with bursting lungs, he had the feeling that, high up on the cool slopes of heaven the gods were rocking with laughter on their silver thrones.
 He had reached the Lower Sixties His home, on East 54th Street, was less than half mile away. But now he became aware that something following him.
 At first he was not sure. He could see nothing; the beat of his racing pulses drowned out all sound but somehow he was sure that just behind the wall something was secretly keeping pace with him. He ran with his head turned back over one shoulder and at last, where section of the wall was broken

that scream, and then, gathering that energy to- gether again, he made great leap that shot him through the door and out into the moonlit square, where he stopped-face to face with the snarling black-barred mask of, the huge tiger.
 What would have happened to Mir Cabbit then shudder to think. For the beast had raised inquisitive, playful paw-a paw as large as MT. Cabbits head; had drawn it back for the blow that would have set period to the tale of this dreadful evening, when there came low humming in tha air as from the huge bass string of some giants guitar. It grew and spread through the silent city, shaking the air, and then MT. Cabbit, for the first time since he had left his friends doorstep, saw lights-a long row of them, like the windows of lighted train only high up in the air, and ap- preaching with more than express trains speed.
 In two bounds the tiger was over the park wall, and MT. Cabbit stared in utter bewildement as the great Aiip roared by overhead, its huge searchlight sweeping the street and lighting up ruined houses, pavements split by frost and sprouting with weeds, all the debris of centuries of neglect. And then it was gone.
 How MT. Cabbit at last reached home, he never knew. His terror, which before had been physical,

Perhaps the storm '" And then he noticed another thing Across the park, where the lights of Eighth Avenue should have winked friendly through the trees, there was only darkness, and southward there blaze from the sky signs of Broad way.

 His uneasiness increased as he turned home ward. He reasoned with himself as he went along trying to reassure the hurried and frightened thoughts that buzzed in his brain like bees in an
 erturned hive "It must be very late-much Ater than I had thought" he said, though it is

Indeed, he was A lonely on most nights of the year, for he had neither the charm of manner nor the wealth that attracts friends, and timdity hid his kindly hears from his associates. So that when Anderson asked him to his Christmas Eve party he accepted eagerly although with touch of dlffldence at tne thought of what, in the way of jolllty, might De required of him.
 He need not have worried. Almost at once the general oavetv swept him into corner, from which he emerged only now and again, like a trout from the shadow of rock, to snap at kindly remark thrown to him by his host MT.

 is some reason. If l could only think
 clearly! Dear me! shouldn't have taken yAJ so much of that wine!"
 FNI He stumbled on over pavements that seemed unaccountably rough, and once he had to walk out in the street for, half block to avoid an enormous heap of stones and rubbish that filtered the sidewalk opposite great gap in- the wall of ouses that fronted the avenue. Tearing down some old houses, no doubt" he said to himself, al- though there were no scaffoldings or tool boxes or other signs of human labor to be seen.
 ND presently he began to notice other things "A that were queer. There were, for instance,
 bricks and stones and branches Of trees lying about; and in one place he floundered for a long way through drift of fine sand that the wind whrled stinging into his face. There were breaches in the wall of the park, too and as he glanced up at the huge silent houses he saw shut ters hanging drunkenly and jagged holes in the plate glass windows.
 All this was difficult to clearly, of course, in the flickering moonlight, with the great wind shouting in his ears and plucking at hat brim and coattas. Ever and again, too, the moon would go completely under for time, or flight of mist wreaths, like flock of graceful phantoms, would drift by, obscuring everything.
 It was during of these times, when the fog was all about him, that he caught glimpse of something in the middle of the street. He

 Despair gripped MT. Cabbit's heart. But as he lurched on he remembered the great hotels chat crowd about the south eastern entrance to the park. If he could reach one of them, perhaps he would be safe. The New Netherland was the near est. And somehow he reached it. The steps were broken and uneven and strewn with debris, but he scrambled up them, then plunged through the doorway into blackness, tripped and fell.
 He must have lost conscious ness for a time, for when he could sit up and look toward the glimmering square of tho door, his breathing was easier, and although he was sick and weak and his heart no longer seemed as if it would leap out of his breast with every beat, he watched the door intently. A black shadow moved to and fro across it, and he could hear the beast sniff, and see it raise and lower it's head as it tried to get sight or smell of him. Eyi- dently it feared to enter.
 He was soon to learn why. For gradually he became aware of faint and continuous sound, a dry rustic, as of dragged folds of heavy silk, that was all about him. And, shifting his position, his hand came in contact with a round, cold body that squirmed powerfully at his touch.
 And Mir. Cabbit screamed. ua mt his whole enerpv< into
