At least the judge does not think it should be resented in the mar. ner that Harry Alberts did Friday after- noon. Alberts used his fists in repulsing the advances of a young woman ard gave her a black eye and othewise damaged ner $20 worth, in the opinion of the judge, and Alberts has that amount to pay to the city. Alberts has learned in the % years of his life to become a -confirmed woman hater. The young women in the neighborhood of his home at Third and Rutger streets have long tried to get him to see things in the right light. Harry wears diamonds. The young wo- men resem Albert's explanation that he ts able to wear diamonds because he is a wo- man hater. The modern Joseph refuses strenuously to separate himself from any of his salary or jewels for the benefit of any of the South Bide young ladies who, he declares, could give the late lamented Mrs. Potiphar 2% pounds and a beating at any distance on @ny sort of a track. Of late Mr. Alberts has been bragging of his asbestos nature and the girls in the that it was up to them to bring about a ehange. Miss Mamie Mitchell, a pretty stenog- rapher who lives at 1605 South Third street, ‘was the ring leader in the attempt to lead Harry from the paths he had set out to fol- low. Harry objected forcibly to being led. In faot he decided to do a little of the leading himself and from now on, no AMOUS.

DE SOTO, Aug. 16—The baby bay dropped from Iron Mountain train, No, « . 14, near Irondaie, is alive and doing well. Nothing has de- veloped to indicate the child's identity, oF that furnishes a clew to the person whe committed the crime. The little one tmp been christened “The Mountain Babe” by the trainmen of the road. A close inspection of the ground where the baby wes found proves beyond doubé that it wae dropped tg-ough the seat in the toilet room of some coach in the train. The canvas telescope that contained the baby was six by fourteen inches, with red leather straps and where it struck the ground was too near the rails to edmit of its being dropped out the window of tle car. From where it first struck the ground i¢ rolled north, which would prove that the train was going that way. The telescope had burst open at one end, caused by striking the ground and as it had rained previous to the passing of the train it was easy to determine that the baby had been dropped since the rain. Mr. Helm, who found the baby, is 73 years old and lives near the track with his wife, They have become very much attached te the child and the old lady sets up all night long attending to its wants. The child was nicely clad in a lf white frock, with a lace cap tied on its head and a little jacket tied around its mouth to pre- vent it crying aloud and, to all appearances, must have belonged to some one in the highet walks of life. The little fellow is doing nicely and the doctor says it has a good chance to live.
