The Uaby Turned Out Wrong
Baltimore Sun.
On J uly 4 a baby girl wrapped
in a newspaper was found by
some boys on a road near Pleas
antville, Westcaester county.
The boys notified the village
authorities, and the baby, only
about a day old, was offered for
adoption by anyone who wanted
it. x
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Quick, who
had no children of their own ask
ed for the child. Althougn very
red in the face, the baby was a
prepossessing presence. Dress
es, a baoy carriage and otner
necessities and luxuries were
bought, and the affection of the
Quick family was lavished on the
child.
A few days ago, however, the
baby's redness of face changed
to a darker shade and in its hair
were unmistakable kinks which
defied all efforts to comb out.
A doctor was called in. "It
is a negro baby," said he, Mrs.
Quick waited a few days longer,
but as this was not what she had
bargained for she decided to
give up the child. It was turned
over to the county almshouse
and christened Martha Washington.

nnen any very old person
dies there is always a reasonable
curiosity in learning how he or
she contrived to live so long and
upon what meats and re j urinat
ing liquors he or she fed.
Mrs, Catherine Gilligan, whose
death, at 107, is reported, has
given a passing interest to the
query,
She ascribes her longevity to
her habit of eating onions daily at
every meal probably from her
own onion patch her refusal to
worry about anything and her
determination not to take any
medicine.
While there is no doubt that
the savory vegetable tended to
strengthen her breath, she
evidently helped matters along
otherwise by not worrying
about what other people might
think of her on that account, but,
best of all, she successfully
fought against the drug habit,
which had so effectually shorten
ed the lives of so many of her
companions,
Probably her first and forced
taste of castor oil settled her
convictions for life. Alas, for
most similarly rebellious young
sters, the medicine habit be
comes a disciplinary develop
ment even before they shed their
milk teeth, and in later life it is
often so confirmed that it is
impossible to shake it off. It
might be said that the good old
woman would have lived longer
had she taken medicine. Perhaps,
but 107 is no mean score when
the modest and retiring onion
is pitted against the ever ready
and alert pill.
