HAD A NARROW ESCAPE. -
Runaway Horse just Misses Killing
Baby on Cedar Street.


A runaway horse came within an
inch of killing a little girl last even
ing on Cedar street near Commercial
avenue.
The horse was attached to a two
wheeled cart and came along Cedar
street at a terrific pace. On nearing
the corner the horse got on the side
walk. A lady pushing Il baby carriage
tried to get out of the animals way,
but was not quick enough and the
horse would have run over the child
had not the cart caught in the side
walk. 1t bounded clear over the baby
carriage.
The runaway horse was caught by
Officer Mayhem near the B., A. & P.
depot, and as the owner could not be
found, it was taken to Haynes livery
stable. g.
Police Judge Kennedy gave out the
following statement last evening in re-
gard to these runaways.
THE first man that is convicted of
negligence resulting in a runaway such
as have been Witnessed on the streets
to-day will be punished as severely as
the law permits

reported in detail. The Warden
suggests that the state should
cease to rent or lease-that it
should own one prison farm Of
say ten thousand acres, which
would simplify the cost Of super
vision, and save thousands now
annually paid for rents.
A correspondent at Piedmont,
West Virginia. writes:
In conversation with several
brother Masons last night, one Of
them remarked that Hon. .Jeffer-
son Davis, President of the Con-
federacy, was a Mason, and it
was this that saved him from the
gallows. Have you anything
on record that viii snow whether
he was a member of the frater-
nifty or not. And if so, Of what
Lodge was he member, and
when were the degrees conferr-
ed?'
Jefferson Davis was not Ma
son. A few years before his
death we had correspondence
with him on this subject. In his
letter, he stated that in early life
he was in the military academy,
then in military and public life.
so that it was not convenient for
him to be identified with any
fraternal order; that he had
learned to have a high regard for
Freemasonary, because his BROTH
er Joseph e., was devoted
Mason, and all that he had OBJ
served of the institution com
mended it to his respect and best
wishes. His letter is on file in
the autograph collection OF the
Grand Lodge of Iowa at Cedar
Rapids, and Grand Secretary
Parvin was made very happy
when we confided it to his care.
Joseph E. Davis was the first
Grand Marshal of the Grand
Lodge of Mississippi, 1919, and
in the years following was Grand
Orator, Junior Grand and Senior
Grand Warden. i'll. p.

THE VALUE OF COMPLI-
MENTS.

There are times when deserv-
ed and well-turned compliment
has a value far beyond any other
ordinary form of expression.
There are people, too, who have
the gift of saying tho right thing
at the right time. Others, with
the best of intentions, never seem
able to do so. They blunder in
to awkward speeches and give
offense where they mean to give
pleasure. Those who know them
best understand and gratefully
accept their intention; but people
less acquainted draw off in an
noyanee. A very choice instinct
is needed in dealing with compli-
mentary speeches. The true
compliment is born, not made.
It perfectly fits the person to
whom it is addressed. We all
know people who make us feel in
a good humor with ourselves.
How they do it we can not quite
tell, but they charm us out Of
gloom and dependency, with
out saying that we can specially
lay hold Of or remember. At
certain times such company is
most useful to us. We fly TO it
for cheering and comfort; it
soothes and solaces US, pouring
oil and balm into our wounds.
But some soothing is more due to
personal charm than to anything
complimentary that may be ad-
dressed to us. Christian Herald.
