A Lawyers Mistake.

a story told by Major Mcnzics is
being circulated through the offices in
the State house, of Vinccnnes law
ser who appeared for the defendant in
:, trial bv jury and put on the witness
stand boy from whose testimony he
expected to gain great deal. To the
confusion Of the attorney, the ory
told by the boy was greatly to the de-
tri,ncnt Of the defendant, and the at
tornry set to work to show that the
boy was worthless
"What is your occupation p he
asked the boy.
II work on my fathers farm, the
witness replied.
"You don 40 muc. but sit around
do you =
"Wcll, help my father"
But you are worthless, aren't tyou?'
was the attorneys decisive question.
"I don't know whether am or
not, rctortcd the witness warmly.
Then the attorney took another tack
"Your father a worthless man,
isn't he 7" T.
"Wcll, he works about the farm, "
The attorney here fastened an eye
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury and nailed the boy with glance
from the other aud said 'tIsn't it
true that your father doesu / do enough
work to prevent his being called
worthless p
The boy had chafed under these un,
pleasant questions, and summoning his
courage, he said loudly, eff you want
to know so bad whether my father
worthless, ask him there he is on the

Frightening Children.

Little Arthur Il while visiting

and throwing himself into uranrlmaln-

when run to you.
"Well, we will shut the doors and
keep him out, and then you can come
to the window and show him to me- y
Arthur suffered himself to be led to
the window, but the sight of the
small black dog running around the
yard renewed his terror. and grand
mamma had to quiet him by assuring
him again and again that the dog
could not get in while the doors we're
shut.
After he had slept oil some Of the
effects If his fright. and the dog had
been driven out Of sight, grandmamma
tried to undo the evil wrought by his
thoughtless young mother. by telling
Arthur the dog was too small to carry
off such big three year old boy. But
it Was several days before his nervous
ness wore away enough to allow him
to enjoy play in the yard unless
some one went with him to keep off
the black dog.
/ How many children, like little Ar

sweet faith and trust that is child

little Of it which We have reason to
feel thankful and nothing is gained by
e.! ting what is manifcstly devoid Of

{ more attention than is now paid it.
/ We must cling to these two, for they
offer consolation for past failures and
i kindle hope for future that is big

Death of Little Anna Bradley.

Last Wednesday morning, July 9Th,
Anna Bradley, eldest child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. E. Bradley, met with an acci-
dent that resulted in the little ones
death Friday morning. She went over
to neighbOrs house to play, where her
playmates were firing 6re-crackers. In
some manner Annals clothes caught fire.
She ran to house across the road and
the flames were extinguished, but not
until she had been burned to some ex-
tent on her limbs. Medical aid was i'm
mediately summoned, and her injuries
were not considered serious, and she did
not complain. But Thursday night she
grew worse and continued to do so until
Friday morning at 800 o'clock when she
died. The funeral was held Saturday al
1:90 p. m. Rev. R. L. WaggOner Offici

Anna May Bradley was born in Well

Bicycle Parade.

To advertise the bicycle races which
are to be held Friday July %, parade
is being arranged for to take place be-
fore the wheel races. Prizes are to be
given to the persons riding the best dec
Grated wheel and wearing the best got
up costume. Also for the most cOmical
costume. The parade is open to ladies
as well as gentlemen, and the committee
are desirOus of many entries from both.
No charge is made for entries. 1t is
hoped that all riders will take interest
in the parade and do their share in max
ing it great success. As Wellington
has never witnessed anything of the
kind, we hope that the citizens and bus
iness men will lend their aid by turning
out in full force and witness the event
