FLORENCE, daughter of G. H. Shipman,
was run into by a bicycle rider last Satur-
day afternoon on the crossing at the foot Of

the head of his sister and snap the cap with
which it had been fitted. These are the

loaded" tragedies when real firearms come
into the hands OF these youngsters, trained
to carelessness and thoughtlessness by the
use of the toy pistol The law forbidding
its sale should be rigidly enforced Better
put the real pistol, loaded with powder and
hall, into the child's hands and teach him
at the outset to be careful how he uses it,

Lucia returned Monday afternoon from
Minneapolis, where they have been since
November last, with Rome G. Brown, a

Marshfield with Mrs. Browns parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Dwight Hollister. Colonel and

met by some fifty ladies and young girls,
neighbors and friends, who had gathered to

whose fragrance is not sweeter than the
love and sympathy they also bear her.
