GAS KILLS BABY
PLAYING SANTA CLAUS
CHICAGO, Dec. 24. Five happy
youngsters lay in mimic sleep on the
kitchen floor at 828 Ewing Street and
five little stockings hung in a row
from the back of a chair.
They were "playing Santa Glaus,"
and Mrs. Margaret Ustich, mother of
three of them, cmiled a wan smile as
she reflected that it was all they could
do. Then she started for the Mary
Crane Hospital to deliver a washing.
Three-quarters of an hour later , she
returned to find a tragedy. The tube
leading to a small plate on which she
had boiled her wash water had brok
en and the room was full of gas. The
children were all gone and when she
located them three were dead at the
Mary Crane Nursery and the other
two were in the county hospital.
' The five children all resided with
Mrs. Margaret Ustich, whose husband,
Elfin Ustich, is an inmate of the Dun
ning Hospital for the insane. Left
with five children to support Mrs.
Ustich has been forced to wash foi
neighbors. , : ---
With promises to be good, that San
ta Claus might not pass over the
home without a visit, the children
were left in the kitchen of their little
home, while the mother went to the
nursery. The children, filled with the
spirit of the approaching Christmas
season,-started to play Santa Claus.
Five little stockings were taken
from dresser drawers and hung on a
clothesline in the kitchen," while the
children pretended they were asleep,
waiting for Santa Claus.
But Theodore, with the unrest of a
10-months-old boy, refused . to lie
quietly on the floor and started to
creep about the kitchen. He was at
tracted by the bright isreen" tube
which led from the gas pipe to the
plate. Reaching up with his tiny
hands, he pulled the tube from the'
pipe and the room was soon filled with
gas.
The feigned sleep of the children
on the floor soon became a stupor in
duced by the fumes, and when the
children were found they lay with
their arms about each other, with the
exception of the infant, who lay on
the floor near the gas pipe.

"THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER."
For many years comic opera has had
Its merry jest at the expense of the
mock hero, who carried chocolates in
stead "of bullets in bis cartridge belt
Hn, ha. ba; .
To the ragtime of musical comedy
the people have laughed at "the cari
catured soldiers of the Balkans the
soldiers of Bulgaria and Servia and
Montenegro and Greece. --'
And now?
These chocolate soldiers have met
the Invincible Turk, and the crimson
chapter has been one of the reddest In
the annals of warfare.
The laugh is out of the other corner
of the mouth.
These chocolate soldiers have chased
the retreating flag of the Ottoman em
pire across the plains of Thrace and
where kiosk and minaret have flaunted
In defiance have lifted the cross In the
place of the crescent
The Gordian knot which the diplo
matic palaver of "the powers" could
not untie has been cut by the sword
of the chocolate soldier.
Do you rememDer -irae. chrysan
themum?" ,
Before the Russo-Japanese war that
opera was much exploited, and thou
sands laughed nt the droll nonsense.
The Japanese soldier was featured
as the toy soldier. His diminutive size
wns exaggerated and ' his Ulllputian
swagger made grotesque,
But-
' The toy soldier soon put that opera
out of business when he began to fight
"the bear who walks like a man." ;
There was nothing to laugh at when
the toy soldier went up 203 Meter hill
Into the Jaws of death. Into the month
of hell. It was not a comic spectacle
when he gave his body for a bridge
over the ditches at Port Arthur, aud
the world did not smile when his small
self helped to make the windrows of
the dead at Mukden.
Longfellow says:
"War is a terrible trade, but In the
cause that ts just sweet is the smell
of powder."
You cannot tell what ts In a small
man until he is tested.
And God Is not always on the side
of the heaviest battalions.
Beware of the chocolate soldier with
a righteous muse:
