SIMPLE HOME TRAGEDY
Unable to Move, Woman Is Forced to
Sit In Helpless Agony and See
Her Little One Gleefully Eat
Deadly Strychnine Pills.
Philadelphia.—In the old days when
men's hearts were hard there was a
hellish rivalry in the invention of tor
ture. Because the emperor must
amuse the brutish populace, because
the conqueror must gloat over the
agonies ot the subjugated, because
men differed tn politics or religioD—
because ot these things men were led
to wild beasts Id the circus, men were
burned at the stake, and the rack; the
thumbscrew, the boot and the Iron
maiden were Invented. But witn all

The frantic woman coaxed and
pleaded and scolded; She used *11 the
gentle persuasion o. a mothers baby
talk to coax tbe child nearer She
commanded. She did everything an
anxiety-lorn woman could do to in
duce the baby to drop the box But
to the little one It was all part ot a
game.
Then the box came open and tbe
deadly pills fell Into the child's lap
qnd upon tbe carpet. A pink little
thumb and finger reached for one ot
the deadly sugar-coated pellets!
Chained to her chair, the mother
sent forth shriek after ahrtek for hu-
man help and appeal after appeal to
her God, while only three feet away
death coaxed her darling nearer and
nearer to Its embrace.
Tbe sugar tasted good and the baby
smiled and cooed. Then It reacbed
tor another pill—and another.
Finally help came, but too late The
baby Is dead and the doctors are try-
ing to save tbe sanity of tbe paralyzed
mother
