Delapidated Farm Houses.-In driv-
ing about the country one cannot help
noticing many places where the own
er's lack of thrift is evident in the d.
lapidated condition of much about the
house, barn or farm. The fences may
need repairing. The sheds may show
signs of weakness. Gates may have
lost a hinge and become useless. The
evidence Of habitual neglect may be
seen in many ways about the place, and
the aggregation Of these little things
which result from carelessness or
thoughtlessness goes to give the farm
run down appearance which it does
not deserve, and which it would not
have If care was taken to keep things
in condition Of good order.-Wiscon-
sin Agriculturist.

chine until Temple street is reached
The engine was working steam and sail
ing up the grade at good speed. the en-
gineer unconscious of the presence on the
track of the team. The team had neared
the point on the track opposite Union
street and certain death seemed to be
rapidly approaching horse and man. the
man too drunk to realize his position.
when another factor entered upon the
scene This was young Butler. He was
walking along Front street. He took IN
the conditions of things at a glance
Without stopping moment to think. he
did the only thing to be done under the
circumstances. He rushed up the en-
bankment seized the horse by the bride,
turned it toward the edge of the en-
bankment and exerting his strength
pulled horse wagon and man down the
steep incline just as the train dashed past.
The engineer had seen the team and had
reversed but not in time to have pre-
vented an accident. The journey of the
team down that embankment was not
without accident. Butler, horse carriage
and man tumbled slid. rolled and smashed
down the Is feet in an almost inextricabe
mass.
When the dust lifted. Butler found him
self somewhat bruised the horse was
badly scratched. the wagon was a COM
plete wreck and Carr had hole in his
head that DIR. Hill took several stitches
in to close. DR.. Hill said the outer plate
of the skull was fractured and that Carr
would have a bad headache for sometime.
Carr was removed to his home. Butler
went about his business and the railroad
is running on schedule time. But 1t was
Il narrow escape.
