Chicago Youngster Six Weeks Old Who
Weighs Only Two Pounds
Mary Pollock daughter of Mr and
Mrs William Pollock residing at 1G7
Clybourn avenue celebrated the sixth
week of her advent into the world on
Friday by drinking a pint of milk and
crying for more Miss Mary is the tin-
Plll
worlds smallest baby
iest healthy infant that lives in this
country A few hours after her birth
she was weighed and the scales bal
anced at one pound and three ounces
The attending physician told her par
ents that there was absolutely no
chance of saving the child But in spite
of this Miss Mary lived on and has
grown from day to day On Friday she
weighed two pounds and cried as
though her lungs were two pounds
strong She is being as carefully nursed
as human skill can devise Every one
of her features is particularly well
developed A more beautiful specimen
of physical babyhood would be hard
to find But she does look so little Her
fingers are of the size of a goose quill
and her arms are so small as to resem
ble nothing ever seen in the way of hu
man flesh But her eyes are woudrous
large and they are very blue and if she
keeps on improving in strength it is
safe to say that she will dangerously
use them some day Local medical his
tory has no record of a child weighing
jno more than did Miss Pollock when
j born living for a longer period than
two days The case Is phenomesal

How Mineral Waters Cure
When a patient reaches a mineral
Tvater health resort he is examined by
the resident physician and ordered to
tdrink certain quantities of the water
at certain times during the day this is
increased from day to day until the
maximum quantity is reached He is
ordered to drink one or two glassfuls
between breakfast and dinner the
same quantity in the afternoon and a
couple of glassfuls before going to bed
The patient is urged to take it whether
lie wants it or not He may say that
be is not thirsty but that makes no
difference he must take it as a
cine The quantity is increased until
we have known thirty glassfuls per day
to be taken
A part of the benefit derived is be-
cause of the rest and change of scene
japart perhaps is from the small quan
tity of the salts and other bases con
tained in these waters we are dot
lepeaking of cathartic or chalybeate
jwaters but the benefit from this
iource is very slight Tne sepret of
Er
JEWl rvi3fBgireyjTriaBfc3Mtf
the cure is in the quantity of the water
taken If the water be pure free from
organic matter and taken in sufficient
quantity the results will be substan
tially the same regardless of the
traces of lithia and small quantities
of sodium chloride and other salts You
can perform these cures at home with
the ordinary drinking water if of good
quality if you will require the patient
to take it in the same quantity as at the
springs It is very easy to add lithia if
desired but you must not lose sight of
the fact that the quantity of water not
lithia taken is the important thing It
acts by flooding the kidneys by wash
ing out the bladder with a copious
bland and dilute urine by unclogging
the liver and clearing the brain The
patient feels better from day to day
he is better Irritable bladder is reliev
ed the kidneys act freely are wash
ed out and many effete substances
are carried out with the blood this
clears the way for the liver to act free
ly and normally for there is an inti
mate relation between the liver and
kidneys Medical World

on the weary journey and left an empty platter and darkened homo for the people who first led him into court Every legal
administrative unit has had its hog case Missouri says the St Louis Republic can boast of the best of all This is the
lawsuit of Winn vs Reed which is still grinding along in the Kansas City Court of Appeals with little prospect of
settlement until the court of last resort passes upon it
A few years ago J Newton Winn and Watson Reed were heads of two of the best families in Clinton County Their
large and highly improved farms adjoined and the members of the two families intermingled constantly in the capacity of
neighbor host and guest Both were men in the prime of life good types of the country gentleman and modern farmer
Each was a perfect specimen of physical manhood and in every sense a representative man The suit that sundered the
two families almost mined two estates and brought both Newton Winn and Watson Reed to untimely graves was begun
in 1S92 It originated over a hog Winn lost a valuable blooded hog and after a prolonged search it was found in one
of the pastures on the Reed farm Winn claimed his property but Reed refused to ghe it up asserting his ownership to the
hog by virtue of having purchased it from a stock trader Winn replevined the hog before Justice of the Peace Thomas S
Pearcy before whom the first trial of the cause was had Winn won his suit but Reed took an appeal to the Circuit
Court of Clinton County In the CircuitCourt it quickly developed that the fight was destined to be fought with great bitter
ness The wealth and station of the two families soon involved in one way or another all their immediate relatives People
throughout the county took sides Reed took a change of venue and the case was sent to Platte County There it ran
the usual course and finally came to trial for the first time in the fall of 1S93 Over 100 witnesses testified at the trial
which lasted a week It resulted in another verdict for Winn Reed swore that he would not rest satisfied with the
verdict and his attorneys took an appeal to 1 he Kansas City Court of Appeals Several months later the case was argued
before the full bench of that court On an affidavit of a juryman alleging irregularity the finding of the Circuit Court was
reversed and the case remanded for a new trial
Eighteen months elapsed before the now celebrated case again came to trial in the old court house at Platte City
This was in August 1S95 The lapse of time had not softened the bitterness of the two principals Mutual friends tried
to patch up a compromise without success Neither Reed nor Winn would abate one jot from his position Acrimony and
intense personal hostility had succeeded the hasty anger out of which the suit sprang When court assembled the entire
community felt that the hog suit was of more importance than all other litigation on the docket Nearly 200 witnesses had
been summoned Winn and Reed arrived each attended closely by a bodyguard of personal friends and relatives Great
care was taken to prevent a personal encounter between the men Judge W S Herndon was on the bench The counsel
were the same as at the previous trial At every session of the court the large room was crowded to suffocation by the
army of witnesses and friends of the principals The speeches commenced one afternoon shortly after the court had re
wnveivctl n f tor -the noon recess One of the counsel for Winn opened the argument and spoke about an hour He was fol
lowed by John Cross who represented Reed Cross made a bitter speech Particularly did he apply the lash to Berry
Winn a son of Newton Winn Cross had just delivered a particularly scathing sentence reflecting on Berry Winn when
Newton Winn rose from his seat and with a muffled exclamation struck Cross a violent blow in the face The blow sent
Cross reeling against a juror Before Winn could strike again Reed sprang to his feet his face was as white as a sheet
and his eyes glowing like coals In both hands he grasped a Colts revolver of the largest caliber This he leveled at Winn
and fired The heavy bullet struck Winn in the abdomen tore a hole entirely through his body and ripped up the carpet
on the platform of the judges bench Winn reeled but did not fall He was unarmed but seized a chair and made an
effort to reach his enemy Reed seemed to become a madman He fired two more shots before he wa overpowered With
in half an hour after the shooting Judge Herndon ordered the attorneys to proceed with the trial With the plaintiff
dying and the defendant in jail for murder the hog case went to the jury and a verdict for the defendant was returned
Winn never lived to know that he had lost the case after having won it twice On the following morning he died
At the April term of court 1S9G Reed was brought to trial on a charge of murder in the first degree Over three hun
dred witnesses testified and the trial lasted ten days He set up two pleas defense of his attorney and self defense
After considering forty one hours the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree and fixed the pun
ishment at ninety nine years in the penitentiary Reed was out on bond until January 1897 when the Supreme Court
affirmed the judgment of the lower court The next morning Wat Reed presented himself to the warden of the peniten
tiary at Jefferson City and his career as a convict began that day But his servitude was to be shorter than he dreamed
From the day he surrendered his health began to fail and in just four weeks he was carried from the prison in a coffin
The case of Winn vs Reed still grinds along in the courts The verdict in favor of Reed found an hour after the murder
of Winn was set aside by Judge Herndon The court gave as its reason misconduct on the part of John Cross Reeds
attorney This necessitated a new trial Reeds attorneys appealed from this order of the court and this appeal is now
pending in the Kansas City Court of Appeals As both plaintiff and defendant are dead the cause is being carried on by
administrators The original issue has long been lost sight of Both sides would be glad to let the case drop did not such
action entail the payment of the costs which now amount to many thousands of dollars

THE LOST MANUSCRIPT
Sixthly brethren said the preacher
Then he anxiously looked round
Sixthly sixthly he repeated
Till it seemed a mocking sound
Fiercely did his fingers fumble
Fifthly fourthly thirdly all
But his lips kept muttering Sixthly
And it answered not his call
Sixthly brethren as I mentioned
Then lie turned the Bible oer
Every hair stood up in anguisli
While his two eyes swept the floor
Then the pood old gray haired deacon
Rose with Parson ef ye please
Sixthly just sailed out the winder
On the buzzum o the breeze
Then a small boy snickered gaily
Ah that winds a beauty bright
Thirdly fourthly both were winners
But that sixthlys out o sight
Columbus Dispatch
SEMPER EIDELIS
OXG after the speakers
words had died away
the listening people
waited in hushed ex
pectancy unwilling to
believe that he had fin
ished and unable to de
scend all at once from
the heights to which
they had been raised
But the announcement
of the last hymn assured
them that the service
was almost over and a
little later they began to
51c slowly out through the high nar
row doors into the damp Cornish air
rn almost total silence the crowd sep
irated with the unconsciousness of
surroundings which comes to men
when their minds have been stirred
deeply
John Ordway and his wife came
from the chapel among the last and
valked arm in arm to the long low
hed where many wagons were wait
mg both had been strongly moved by
he evenings sermon but in different
vays indicative perhaps of their
widely differing temperaments
Ordway helped his wife into the
vagon the horses struck into a swift
rot and the driver leaned forward to
iraw the rug more closely about his
companion peering up into her face
solicitously
A damp night he murmered Do
rou feel at all cold little girl
She started nervously at his voice
and shook her head
Im quite warm enough she said
mechanically
They moved swiftly past the scatter
ed houses of the village and out into a
tretch of open country Three or four
iimes the woman raised her head as
chough about to speak but checked
herself with an effort
I have something to tell you John
she said at last I I am afraid I
ought to have told you long ago
Her tone was so serious that he turn
ed and looked at her with quick anx
iety
Are ye sure ye ought he asked
gently Maybe there aint any need
There is a need she answered I
nave known all along that it would be
better to speak out but somehow I
never felt that I could until to night
She paused as though to gather cour
ige Its about myself and Willis
she said You remember
Ordway bent forward suddenly with
a warning shout to the horses and the
wagon jolted heavily in a deep rut
Thats me all over he said with
a chuckle I took special notice of
that hole so as to skip it on the way
nome and here I am drivin right into
it again like an old fool Thats what
2omes of listenin to sermons ye cant
quite understand
Wont you listen to me John his
wife asked pleadingly
Of course I will he answered
Only my nerves bein so wrought up
Im sort of afraid to have any big
Shock come on me sudden ye know
You make it so hard for me she
said And I am in earnest Oh truly
I am in earnest
Her voice trembled with the warning
of tears Ordway put his arm around
her and drew her closer to him protec
tively as a mother soothes a nervous
sleepy child
I wasnt jokin he said Im al
ways glad to listen to ye only I think
red best wait till we get home Were
most there now
The wagon swung around a sharp
urn and then far up on the hill ahead
3f them the clear cut outline of the
farm buildings showed against the
horizon And the horses plodded on in
silence
Go in by the fire said John Ord
way wrhen at length they rattled into
ihe farm yard Itll take me some time
to fix things up But when he came
back from the stable he found her
waiting leaning against one of the
square posts of the porch and looking
jut across the darkness of the valley
I wanted to wait until we could go
in together she said The long low
kitchen was full of changing shadows
which danced across the time polished
floor and lost themselves in the corners
Df the irregular ceiling when Ordway
2rossed to the huge fireplace and piled
some sticks of soft wood on the glow
ing ashes
Then twisting himself out of his top
coat and bestowing it together with
his cap on a convenient table he drag
ged from the chimney corner a great
old fashioned chair and sank back lux
uriously in its capacious depths His
wife had also removed her wraps and
now took her seat at the other side of
the fireplace on a low stool drawn
back just within the wavering bound
ary of shadow At rength she spoke
slowly and with evident effort at calm
ness
You must try to be patient with
ir
Kaaz id
van she said Youll be astonished
I know and I am afraid youll be an
gryand I couldnt blame you but I
want you to wait till till Ive fin
ished
Are ye quite sure yed better begin
or hadnt ye better let it go till to
morrow
No she said quickly Ive wanted
to speak to speak so many times and
havent dared to Ill feel a thousand
times happier when Ive told ycu no
matter what happens Let me go on
now
Maybe I know what he began
but checked himself suddenly Im
listenin he added
She hesitated as if to gain strength
and he marked how the slender figure
quivered with the effiort of her hur
ried breathing
I had promised to marry Willis be
fore I knew you she said unsteadily
We quarreled about some little thing
and each was too proud to speak first
Finally he went away without seeing
me You know how we heard that he
died in Africa I believed it we all
did and I cried myself to sleep night
after night because I hadnt acted dif
ferently As time went on I began to
forget little by little and after a while
it all seemed like a sort of dream then
you came into my life and taught me
to trust you and turn to you for help
In everything And in truth I loved
you more than you could ever under
stand Her voice trembled pitifully
You believe me John she asked
Say that you do believe me
Ordway drew his hands across his
eyes with an involuntary movement
I aint never doubted it he answer
ed softly
She gave a quick sigh of relief and
let her head sink again upon her breast
as she spoke again
I was happy and contented for two
long years It was like heaven and
you were happy too John
Happy he said Ah yes nobodyll
ever know how much
And then little Dora was born she
went on and somehow all our trouble
began right there for it seemed as
though her baby hands took hold of our
hearts and pushed them apart a little
at first and then more and more I ac
tually thought that you didnt care
about her I know it was wrong but
I thought it and I got to feeling
against you as I would against some
one that was watching for a chance to
hurt my little one Well things got
worse and worse and when she died I
almost believed you wrere to blame in
some way I didnt know how Oh its
awful to think about but I couldnt
help feeling that way Will you ever
forgive me for it
I never laid it up against ye he
answered I reckoned it was natural
and I knew ye wasnt well so I tried
to forget all about that part of my life
and I done it almost
She looked up at him gratefully
iou are trying to help me she said
Not many men would do that The
rest of my story is harder to tell and
harder to listen to You remember
that Willis came back and hunted us
up He came at the worst time for all
of us I was set against you and half
wild about babys death and reckless
to everything He found that out and
kept pleading with me and urging me
to go away Avith him Day after day
when you were at work he used to
come to the house and talk to me al
ways in the same strain I ought to
have sent him away but I didnt His
sympathy was so ready that I didnt
see the purpose nor the falseness of
it It was as though some evil spirit
put the word into his mouth and I
listened God help me I listened
She started to her feet and stood fac
ing her husband her arms raised to
her head in a wild gesture
It was no fault of mine that I did
not sin against you in deed as I did in
thought she cried If it had not been
some accident I dont even know
what it was I should not have been
here now I went to meet him one
night We were to drive to Oakley and
take the train for some place I wait
ed I dont know how many hours but
he didnt come at last I crept home
and found you asleep All night I sat
by the fire waiting for some word from
him for I was ready to go yes even
then I was ready to go In the morn
ing when you were away a letter came
saying that an unforeseen accident had
happened and he would let me know
about it soon I never heard from him
nrriin
She paused and looked at him fear
fully as though expecting a violent
outburst of anger but he said nothing
and at last she spoke again unable to
bear the silence
Wont you speak to me she cried
tremulously Havent you been listen
ing Have I done wrong to tell you
Speak to me for Gods sake I cant
bear it
The words were lost In a storm of
sobbing and she threw herself down
on her knees beside him hiding her
face with her hands on the arm of the
old fashioned chair Ordway looked
down at her through eyes that were
dimming Dont take on so Eunie
he said gently yell be glad all the
rest of yer life I think on account of
jest what yere cryin about now Look
xip my girl an maybe I can finish the
story for ye He put out his hand and
stroked the bowed head with clumsy
tenderness Ye say ye never knowed
why he didnt come that night he
said I could a told ye why
She raised her head with a startled
exclamation You she cried
Yes he answered Jest me He
stayed away because I told him hed
better and he knowed I meant what I
said
Her eyes grew full of a wondering
fear and she shrank away from him
but he smiled again and detained her
with gentle force Wait he said I
aint crazy Did ye think I was so
blind all them months that I didnt see
xjjiii
what was happening Id a knowed Ir
Id been miles away for there aint
never any trouble in your heart buti
what I dont feel it Lord bless ye I
seen what was goin on but I thought
twas best to say notbin an let ye
wrestle it out alone Finally when ij
noticed that circumstances an every
thing was likely to be too much for ye
why I jest stepped in an talked to
Willis He understood an that settled
it
Then youve known she interrupt
ed breathlessly Youve known all this
time
He nodded cheerf ullyAll this time
he answered
But you never said a word to me
you never acted as though
Its always harder for me to talk
than to keep still he said slowly
Surely yeve found that out long ago
I couldnt a said a word without mak
in things worse most likely so I
thought the best thing to do was to jest
wait an I have been waitin
Waiting she repeated Waiting
for what
For whats happened Eunie he
said softly Waiting to hear jest what
Ive heard to night to have ye kneel
down here beside me as yere kneelin
now a wantin the help I can give ye
an a trustin me enough to ask for it
He lifted his hand to check her ques
tion and went on in the same tone I
aint never been like any of the men
ye used to know Why for a year or
more after we were married I used to
set an watch ye wonderin all the time
whether it was really me an whether
my luck wasnt too good to be true I
was always afraid that there was a
mistake somewheres for it didnt seem
right nor natural that ye should see
anything in me to care about unless
uhless it was because I cared so much
for you I tried to think that some
times
The woman was clinging to his arm
and weeping convulsively
Twerent your fault little girl he
said It jest happened that way
There aint no need to cry about it
now the time for cryins all gone past
an I dont think itll ever come again
He stopped abruptly as though half
ashamed of his sudden outburst and
let his glance rest lovingly upon the
kneeling hgure at his feet
Aint ye glad its happened he
asked Surely ye aint grievin over
the very thing that is to make us so
happy agen
She did not answer and for a mo
ment he watched her in perplexed anx
iety Then he understood and knelt
down by her side Toronto Saturday

A Good Thins the Ice 3Ian Wasnt
There
Across an uptown street an ice wag
on was extended The street was nar
row and the horses attached to the
wagon had evidently been halted at the
curb and then had turned diagonally
across the roadway Usually these wag
ons are manned by a crew of two men
but in this case neither man was in
sight Presently along came a horso
and wagon with two men on the seat
They couldnt get by because of the ico
wagon They halted in the rear of the
obstruction and one of the men called
out
Hi there get a move on you
The ice wagon was full of ice and the
drivers seat was entirely concealed
from the men in the other wagon
There was no response
Whats the matter with you yelled
the man dontyou know you are blockr
ing up the highway
Still no response
The vociferating man grew angry
Say he howled if you dont drive
ahead Ill take off one of your wheels
The other man laughed The wheels
of the ice wagon looked as if they might
have been made for the Juggernaut car
The wheels of the other wagon were
light and shaky
If you dont drive ahead Ill get off
this wagon and chuck you into the gut
ter shrieked the angry man
Say said the other man dont talk
like that These icemen are all fighters
Hell come back here with an ice hook
and welt the heads off of us
Let him come roared the first
speaker He cant bluff me Say
there you wretched white livered ice
peddler get a move on you or Ill tram
ple all over your worthless carcass
And even this didnt elicit a response
Then the angry man slowly got down
from the seat and grasping his whip
in a firm grasp cautiously circled
around by the way of the sidewalk un
til he could get a look at the drivers
seat
Why theres no one here he calledt
back Then he took the horses by thei
heads and pulled them to the side of
the road
As he climbed back into his wagon
he said
Its a blamed lucky thing for that
driver that he wasnt there Id aT
beat the life out of him
And he pulled up the horse savagely
and rattled along
For the Bike
In a newly designed bicycle it is not
necessary to use the feet and keep the
pedals moving all the time as the
spiked rear wheel can be lifted out of
line with the runners by means of a
lever near the head of the machine so
that after speed has been attained or
in going down hills on the road the feet
can be held still
