UP the creeks in swarms looking for
food. The killifish is a scavenger. 1t
will eat almost anything. Any scrap of
food floating on the water is fastened
upon, perhaps by one kill or by ten, or
there may be a hundr ed killies strug-
Cling and pushing to get at it, and tear
ing off shreds and fragments whenever
they reach it. This is the turtles op-
portunity.
The turtle, standing in the shallow
water, edges toward the nearest kill,
moving slowly and cautiously, with its
neck extended. AS it moves nearer it
gradually contracts it's neck, drawing
its head back toward it's shell. Its body
is ALI the time getting closer to the E4lI
but it's head is not. The kill, if it has
an eye on the turtle at ALL is thus lulled
into false security. 1t seems never to
realize the telescope character of the
turtles neck.
The turtle calculates distances with
great nicely. Still inching steadily for
ward, it keeps all the time drawing in
it's head until perhaps only it's eyNs are
visible, peering out from under the edge
of it's shell. Then, when 1t is within
striking distance, suddenly out shoots
its head and oftener than not it gets the

whatever is to be done should be done
well; that whatever is done in the way
of street decorations or illuminations
should be richer in quality even if re-
duced in quantity. The pace set by other

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Narrow Escape From Death of Thomas
Smith, Wife and Child.

A serious accident happened yesterday
afternoon to Thomas Smith, brother of
Police Sergeant Gus Smith, when he was
seriously injured by being thrown from
a buggy in a runaway. In company with
his wife and little girl Mr.. Smith was
driving through Agricultural park in a
light wagon. Just as he drove out of the
west gate dog ran out and frightened
the horse, which ran away. Mi Smith
lost one of the lines and was utterly
unable to control the maddened animal.
On Vermont avenue the horse sud
denly swerved off into the sidewalk and
ran directly between a post and tree
The vehicle struck and the occupants
were thrown out. Mr.. Smiths head
struck the post inflicting terrible
wound fully six inches in length in the
scalp; the wheels of the buggy passed
over Mrs. Smith. but the little girl for
tunately escaped without injury. The
horse ran on down the sidewalk and
scattered pieces of the buggy for half
mile before he was stopped.
DR.. Shiener attended the injured hus-
band and wife and dressed their wounds.
1t was at first thought that Mr.. Smith
was fatally injured, but he fortunately
escaped without fractured skull. AS
soon as possible the patients were sent
to their home about three miles south
west of Agricultural park and put TO
