any relief. The disease grew worse, arid
a t last physicians in all parts of the

A peculiar feature in the case was the
constant inclination to sleep manifested
by the patient. She would sleep for
hours at a time, and while in that con

says she suffers terribly while un

The Effect of a Baby.
r Cbicng<y Timet*.}
Did you ever notice how much differ¬
ence a bright eyed, idiotic looking little,
baby will make in a street car? On
yesterday afternoon when West a Times re
porter stepped he discovered into a Madison
street car, that the sole
orcupants of the car beside himseif were
a little happy looking worn ip with a two
months old baby upon her lan, and a
proud looking father next to her. The
whose baby was cheeks one of those red faced iofsyjts

ini possible for them to shut their months,
aud whose eyes are big, and blue, and
staring. Little chubby bands with deep
dimples down their backs, and restless
little legs that would kick away the
dress and expose the fat sturdy little
legs, had with their blue socked feet. The
car not gone far before it stopped
for a little girl, who, when she entered
the car, Rat down first in a corner, but
discovering the baby, moved up next to
it and its mother, and began kutebey
kutcheying positions it, and thinking hold up new

dolly when lady she light got homo. A pretty
young in a ulsterette and a
blue veil stepped into the car. sitting
down demurely beside the little girl.
She, too, spied the baby, aud when it
twisted about and stuck its littieiist out
at her Rhe gave it a finger to hold, and
reached over and kissed it. A little
further along a cross looking, hooked
nosed, sharp featured old man thrust
himself into the car, and planted him¬
self in the first corner he came to. He
glanced that about the car with an expression
indicated a hatred of all mankind,
and then settled back into the corner
determined to let no one say a word to
him nor to give any one a pleasant look
Suddenly the baby caught sight of his
carroty beard, and making a desperate
lurch, almost threw itself out of its
mother’s arms. It could not reach the
old man, but, in straining and crowing
the kicking man’s to get at and him, he it softened
old heart, pinched its

Other passengers who had entered the
car during the meantime laughed and
smiled at the baby, and when it hung
its head so far over backward that it
looked at them upside down, they poked
their fingers at it and called it a
“ toolsey-pootsey.” When the time
came for the mother and her baby to
leave, there were many good by smiles,
and the ladies kissed their hands to it,
sorry that it was going. After it had
gone the car relapsed into silence, the
old man in the corner drew himself
within himself again; the pretty youpg
