The lives of five gentlemen were
greatly endangered Monday after
noon by the running away of the
team that was attached to the Lin
den House bus. The horses were
frightened by some disarrangement
of the harness and ran some dis
lance along first main street and
then turning to the right were go
ing at a furious gait towards Pleas
ant Run and but for an accident
would have been precipitated down
the steep hill in the rear of the
jail. In such an event there would
have been no hope forany who might
have remained in the bus, which
would have tumbled down the hill
no telling how far. But fortunately
one wheel of the heavy vehicle
struck a hitching post that stands
twenty or thirty steps from the top
of the hill and stopped. The driv
err, negro boy, jumped off at first,
but there were still three or four.
passengers in the bus, who were
glad enough when the sudden jar
occurred, Messrs. Skillcrn, McLau-
rine, Lambeth, Andrews and q
drummer were the gentlemen.

Jerusalem Artichokes.

BY many persons they are highly
priced for culinary purposes, but
few understand the value of arti-
chokes for feeding stock. They can
be raised much cheaper and easier
than almost any other kind of roots,
bulk for bulk, while they are richer
in fat producing elements. Cattle
and other stock eat them greedily
while raw, but they are especially
valuable for fattening purposes when
either steamed or boilcl. The
tubers are large, ,goftsh weighing
from rone to three pounds each ,
clean and Nhite, much resembling
potatoes.
The cultivation is of the simplest
chRracer. Select light, right soil
ifposstbhe; prepare itas you would
for a good crop of potatoes, and
plant as early in the spring as the
ground can be worked. Medium
siz5d tubers should DO selected for
seed. Plant in hills two feet apart

drop ing from one to three tubers
in each hill, according to size, and
