present md u former Madison lady:
"Miss Grace McNeal of this city. who IL
teaching the primary department OF the
South Shore schools. together with her
friend Miss Laura Geer OF Madison. had
u little experiences last Sunday which
they will not soon forget. Sunday being
q beautiful day. the girls thought they
would suuse themselves by taking q
buggy ride. They hired a team from
the livery .nan at South Shore and pro-
ceeded Ia drive towards WATERFOWL.
When about half way to this place the
team took fright and ran away. The
v,rls hung onto the lines Tor dear life.
On the bronchos went. Each girl grab
bed a line and pulled as hard AS she
could. They finally succeeded in get
ting the team stopped, but u OF the
nags had in the mad run gotten his hind
leg over the pole. The g,rls unhitched
the horses aud before they could get
them h,tched up they ran away again.
This time the frightened animals ran
onto the railroad track and landed on a
bridge where they became tangled up in
the trestle work. AZ 10 most always the
case there was not . man TO DO found,
In some manner the girls captured the
horses and got them hitohed to the bug.
~ again aud drove to WATERFOWL. They
took the train the next morning fo'
South Shore aud tslephoned the livery
man 70 como over and get his team. The
Young lsd,ss were not hurt. but IT Is safe

years growth. Moral: 1t is always safe
to take a man along when out driving
