WHAT IS A BABY?
Did you ever try to formulate your
exact opinion of a baby—not your own
baby, but the tiny morsel in the ab
smict? A London paper offered a
prize of ten dollars for the best defi-,
nition. Here are some of those sent
in, the last of which won the prize.

treasure, and despotic tryant of the
most republican household.
The morning caller, noon day crawl
er, midnight brawler.
' The only precious possession that
never excites envy.

which every couple think they pos
sess the finest copy.
A native of all countries who speaks
the language of none.
About twenty-two inches of coo and
wiggles, writhe and scream, filled
with suction and testing apparatus
for milk and automatic alarm to
regulate supply.
A quaint little craft called inno
cence and laiden with simplicity and
love.
A thing we are expected to kiss
and look as if we enjoy it.
A little stranger with a free pass
to the heart’s affection.
i hat which makes home happier,
love stronger, patience greater, hands
busier, nights longer, days shorter,
purses lighter, clothes shabbier, the
past forgotten, the future brighter.

LOVESJCTRESS
ST. PETERSBURG.—The Grand Duke
Andre:!, third son of the Grand Du Wo
Vladimir (of "Bloody Sunday" fame)
has been led by Cupid Into a blggor
scrape than either of his brothers, the
Grand Duke Cyril and the Grand Duke
Boris. The former it will be recalled,
was banished for marrying without per
mission the divorced wife of the Grand
Duke of Ueeee, while the extravagance
of Boris are notorious.
The trouble with Andrle Is that he Is
entangled with Mile. Hlrlschlnnkn, the
prettiest actress at the Imperial Theatre,
who possesses hundreds of love letters
from him, Including a formal offer of
marriage.
With the Czar’s approval, the Grand
Duke Vladimir has banished his son to
Irkutsk, In Siberia, where he will have
to remuin for at least twelve months and
will then only be allowed to’ return t*
St. Petersburg only on condition that he
abandons his intention to marry the
pretty actress.
The marriage would not even have the
excuse of being a love match, for there
Is no affertlon for her royal suitor on
Mile. Sinlschlnka’s part.
