and Worthwhile and Leavenworth,
Kansas, were damaged in various de-
grees, but without loss of life. Yes

Monday evening Theo. Myers
accompanied by his little daughter
drove some four miles southwest of
town to visit his brother, George.
When returning, and while coming
down the hill just beyond the Dan
Matthias farm, Mr.. Myers hat blew
off and he left the child in the buggy
while he ran back few rods to pick
up his hat. The horse taking adj
vantage of the lone situation Of the
child, started off on a trot and be-
cause he would not "whoa," the
child applied the whip, which drove
the animal into running gait.
After they had passed up one hill
and down another the child was
thrown out, but by fortunes favor
was uninjured, and taking the back
track cried out to the man in the
rear - whose anxiety for the child's
welfare and a well trimmed pair of
shank's horses, were bringing him
down the country road at 2:4o
gait -"Papa, the horse wouldn't
wait for you;" all unconscious of the
narrow escape it had just exper'
fenced.
