SHOCKING
Horse Runs Away With Arthur
Dav on Harmar Hill.

Monday evening, at about seven
o'clock, as Mr.. Arthur Day was driv-
ing down the new road on Harmer
Hill, his horse ran away and threw
him to the ground with such force
that his left leg was broken, about
the knee and his right thumb broken
and cut.
Mr.. Day works. for the Marietta
Transfer Company and lives on Fair
view Heights. 1t has been his GUS
tom, the past summer, to drive Mr..
Geo. Eyssen's horse down to him in
the evenings, and last night was so do
ing. He turned out to allow Mr. j. M.
Williams, who was coming up the hill,
to pass when without any warning the
hold-back strap broke, allowing the
buggy to run upon the heels of the
horse, which started on a dead run
down the hill. When it got to the
turn in the road the buggy turned
over, throwing Mr.. Day through the
fence with the above result. Lonnie
Roney was in the buggy but escaped
| injury.
Drs. RIB. Hart and F. McKim were
called and reduced the fracture. At
last reports Mr.. Day was resting as
easy as could be expected.
The horse ran on down the hill and
fell, near the foot, where it became
tangled in the harness and buggy, and
was held until released by Mr.. Henry
Weidner and others.
The horse was uninjured but the
buggy was a complete wreck

Rico. But if it is good thing for
Spain to let go of these colonies, will
it benefit us to take them in? Under

Grand Pacific for several years. He

Gould's first visit to Chicago. Mr..
Gould had registered at the Grand
Pacific, and was standing in the lobby
with his hands in his coat pockets,
looking like a countryman in town.
The little millionaire approached ].
P. Vidal, who was clerk at the house,
and modestly asked what would be
the best way for him to go to Lincoln
Park. Vidal, not knowing who Gould
was, gave him the necessary instruc-
ton as to street cars, etc. Gould
heard him through and then said:
"But could | not 60 in a carriage?"
Eyes, you can; but it is little ex.

."Well, as this is my first visit, I
think I will try to stand the expense"
"All right, but to whom shall I

clerk.

OFFERED HER OWN BOOK.
How . Public Library Clerk Amused
the Author Of "Little Women.Y


One day very pleasant-faced lady
came in and asked for something
very nice and new" to read. A copy
OF Little Women" had just come in,
and l had it snugly tucked up under
my arm, ready to send it out. l Liked
this woman very much; there was
something about her which appealed
very strongly to me, and l was moved
to give her the best had. Sc took
the little volume from under my arm
and handed it to her, telling her that
it was the sweetest and incest book
we had, and that l was glad to be able
to give 1t to her. She took it from
my hand, looked it over for a moment,
then tossed it carelessly down, say
ing:
I've seen that before"
isn't it just beautiful, I exclaimed,
thinking that my enthusiasm would
meet with the usual response. Judge
of my disappointment and surprise!
ITS good enough thing, l dare
say" was the indifferent reply.
That was too much for me, and I
sprang to the defense of the book.
For a wonder-I have never been quite
sure how it happened; l think it must
have been because the editor wished
to get rid of the persistent school girl
who was bothering him to such an
extent-l had been given the book to
review for a Boston paper-and am
afraid, in my indignation, that quot
ed the entire review to my helpless
victim. She smiled sweetly, and then,
choosing book without my assist
ance, turned away. | went up to the
desk to send my rejected volume to
some one who did want it, when the
head librarian spoke to me:
"Do you know who that was whom
you were serving?"
NO." said, 'I'm sure DON'T
''Well, 1t was the author of Little
Women, Miss Louisa Alcott"

And have been abusing her be-
cause she wouldn't take her own book

Just then | heard a ringing laugh,
and looking down to the front of the
library, saw the lady to whom had
been reading lecture on her lack of
appreciation Of my cherished book, in
close conversation with the proprie-
tor. Both were laughing, and just as
I turned, both looked in my direction,
and the proprietor beckoned to me
to come to him. I was presented to
Miss Alcott, who took my hand in
hers and said to me:
my dear, that was the choicest and
sweetest compliment I have had paid
my little book. thank you for it."
That was the beginning Of the most
cherished friendship of my whole life
"a friendship which lasted until the
object of my devoted affection passed
beyond this earth.-Success.
