\ sad accident occurred at late hour

Thomas c. Hedges, a prominent young bus

in company with his room mate, HAD retired,

which was his usual custom. Afterwards

it was accidentally discharged the ball en-
tering the corner Of his eye and passing

of the Hedges family, who are heirs of a

recently had a conference here with other
relatives concerning the same. His oldest
brother was killed by Indians in Colorado
sixteen years ago, and another was accident

How Women Keep Expense
Books.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
1t is touching sight to sec a womals
begin to make up her expenses having
firmly resolved to put down every cent
she spends, SO as to find out how to
economize, and where all the money
goes. Procuring small book, she makes
due entry, and on the Monday after
the first Saturday in which her husband
brings home his pay, she carefully tears
the margin Oil a newspaper and, with q
blunt pencil, strikes trial balance some
thing in this way:
John brought me home $4S.5 so, and 81 As
had is 1898, and 81 90 lent Mrs. Dix
on is $3O.93-bnt, hold on, I ought not t.
enter that, because when she returns it,
it'll 60 down. That was $40 90, and what
have done with that?
Then she puts down the figures, leay-
ing out the item to save time-a process
which enables her to leave out most of
the items to where a round sum is in
vovlcd, on the s',pposition that they have
already been put down. As thus:
and 10 cents for celery, and 10 cents on
the street cars, and a bad 5 cent piece
got in exchange, and $2Sl I paid the
miikman-who owes me 10 cents-that's
s., and Is cents at church, and the No.
ceries-they were $3.50 or $lG.5O and I
don't remember which they we're, but I
guess it must have been $3.50, for the
grocer said that if would give him a
dime he would Civ, me half a dollar.
which would make even change, AMI |
couldn't, because the smallest I had was
a quartcr-and $2.75 for mending Katie's
shoes, which is the last money that shoe
maker gets from me, and 10 cents for
celery-no, put that down.
Finally she sums up her trial-balance
sheet, and finds that it foots up S642S
which is about SIS more than she had
originally. She goes over the list sever
al times and checks it carefully, but all
the items are correct, and she is just
about in despair, when her good angel
hints that there may be possible mis-
take in the addition. Acting upon the
suggestion, she foots up the column and
finds that the total is $44. %, and that &C.
cording to the principles Of the arith-
metlc she ought to have $5.65. Then
she counts her cash several times, the
result varying from 81 40 up to S1.97, but
then She happily discovers that she has
been mistaking a s. gold piece for a
cent, and remembers that she gave the
baby trade dollar to cut its teeth with
On the whole she has come within IS
cents Of a balance, and that, she saws, is
close enough, and she enters in one line
of the account book: 'tDr.-by house,
hold expenses so much; and is very
happy till she remembers, just after
going to bed, that size has omitted $27i
for her husbands hat.
