Wednesday Of last week the way freight
left car on the siding near the freight
depot and the car wass being filled with
sheathing and wooden bowls. The car
was left coupled to the car next above it
and the ground switch set over so that
car passing down the line would be
thrown off the track. Early Thursday
morning the engineer of the north bound
passenger train discovered this same car
on the main line barring his passage. He
did not see the car in time to even reverse
the engine and it may be this fact was the
salvation of many lives. As it was the
terrible momentum of the heavy passen-
ger train under full speed struck the run
away car such blow as to almost COM
pletely collapse it. The line is nearly
straight at this point (near the north end
Of the Noble fat and the blow was de- |
derailed and no one hurt. The cause of
the accident seems unexplained unless
some human agency is connected with it. |

800 for evidence leading to the arrest and |
conviction Of the persons who did it.

Two Baseball Victories.

Bethel High school met the Junction
High school team on Webster field Satur-
day afternoon and easily added to their
long string Of victories by defeating them
by a score of is TO 1.
The game was interesting froma Bethel
standpoint because of the fast playing OF
the home team which was so far ahead of
their opponents in all departments as to
make ridiculous comparison.
Wefer and Lattimer make one of the
best batteries: Putnam's work al first is
improving and Sanspra at third strength
ems the team materially. Emery at short
probab bly, has no superior of his age in this
state. His double play with Wheeler was
as accurate as was ever seen. Wheeler ac-
cepted of Z chances at second-a very
creditable record. Stoddard and Water
man did good work in the outtield and
Sanspra closed the game by a substantial
catch of foul fly.
Following is the score of the game
between the Bethels and the W.
r. Junction school mines:

Resolutions for tho New Year.

1 have made two resolutions with which
1 mean to begin the new year. One is to
try not to say disagreea5le little things
about peopIe-the kind of remarks that
don't mean so much in themselves, but
make trouble repeated. and are so use
less, anyway; and l shall stop and count
ten when feel like making them, writes
Anna Wentworth, in the Woman's Home
Companion.
The other resolution is to try to be
punctual Mother says that no one who
isn't a hostess or the head Of a menaSe
can appreciate the 'tryingnesS OF I'M
punctual people, and the ones who cannot
be depended upon. So many girls accept
invitations thoushtlessly, and they don
feel that it is wrong to break them at the
last moment, or to be late; and yet it Just
spoils everything for the hostess. am
going to try to plan out my days so thnt
things will fit into each other and no mat
ter how hard it may be to have to tear
my elf away from an interesting CONVEX
sation or book to be in time somewhere
else, I shall do so. Then, too. | shall try
to be punctual at dinner, md not start to
dress a minute before the meal is an
nounced Unpunctuality and gossipins
may seem tritlIng faults, but they are not
so easy to conquer.

Two DARN. j p,ncsa Women

A superstition forbids the women of
Japan to scale high and sacred noun
tains, it being believed that. should they
dare to do so, they would be torn to eces
by avengng spirits which inhabit the gh
regions. Full was one Of these forbidden
mountains, until Mrs. Grant, wife OF the
late ex-President OF the United States,
set the superstition at defiance by &C
companying her gallant husband to it's
summit Even after that. however. very
few of our women, says the Japan
Weekly Times, dared to follow in the
footsteps of the American lady. But the
sacred Fuj has now been scaled by two
very young ladies. Miss Asa Tashiro.

Miss Kiyo Tsuschiya, nine years and nine
