GOT BADLY HURT.
Heavy Trucks Run Over Edward
King
Injuries not Fatal. Was woodman
and Carried Accident Insurance.

Injuries not Fatal. Was woodman
and Carried Accident Insurance.
Edward +. King, an employe of the
Belding Hall Co. as driver of their
heavy truck team, while at work Mon
day morning, met with what at first
was believed to be serious accident.
While driving the team one of the
truck wheels struck large stone,
throwing Mr.. King from the seat to
the ground under the horses feet.
His back was severely injured also his
right knee and his right hand was
lacerated, the latter probably caused
by the heavy wheels passing over it.
DIR. G. NJ. Wilson was called to dress
his injuries. The doctor says no bones
were broken.
The injury TO his back is of seri-
Gus nature, being severe conclusion
of the spine and injury to the muscles.
The other injuries are painful but are
likely to be recovered from soon.
Mr.. King was very fortunate in
holding policy in the Continental
Casualty Company of which A. F.
Morgan is local agent. His many
friends hope for his speedy recovery
and all congratulate him on his mar
row escape. Mr.. King is also a mem
Der of the Modern Woodmen, which
organization is rendering him their
aid in his distress.
He has been with the company for
several years and is good workman.

Chi1d's bath.

A tepid bath for a child should havo
a temperature from S5 to 80 degrees y.
and q hot bath 9S 3-5 degrees F.. which,
as said before. is the normal tenn
perature of the inside Of the body.
This will cause relaxation In case e
convulsion or sweating in case Of r.
yer. The water should be gradually
heated until the hand Of the mother
finds 1t noticeably warm, care being
had always to remember the extreme
delicacy and sensitiveness Of q childs0
skin.
In case Of debility and for scrofulouo
children and those threatened with
ricketts, a salt water bath every morn
ing, either hot or cold according -
season, is very valuable. To prepare
this bath use four ounces of sea salt -
four gallons Of water. Let the chilA
play in the water a little while. then
rub the body briskly with a Turkish
towel till the skin is in a glow.
To make a good mustard bath use
two ounces Of powdered mustard to
four gallons of water. This Is excel.
lent as a footbath and relieves conges-
tion Of the head and is often useful In
the first stages Of q cold on the chest
In cases of extreme exhaustion and
threatened collapse child can be I'M
mersed up to its neck, and the bath
will act as stimulant, but whenever
one is using hot bath for any reason
the head should always be sponged
with cold water.-Pilgrim.

The Lese,a Of clebach's Fountain.

The Legend Of C1ebach's Fountain.
Clebach's fountain was a holy well
In the southern slope of Cruachan. near
Roscommon. Ireland. The legend Ii
that st. Patrick met here the two
daughters of King Leoghaire. Fedelm
and Ethna. as they came from the
royal palace OF Roth Cruachan to
bathe In the fountain. The maidens
wondered at the sight Of the venerable
stranger surrounded by his monks. and
they questioned him eagerly as to who
he was and whence he came and what
king he served.
When Patrick had told them Of the
lofty message he bore. the grace of
God touched the hearts of the maidens
80 that they believed and were baptiz-
ed In the waters of the fountain. which
St Patrick had blessed for the pur-
pose. Immediately on coming out OF
the water they prayed that they might
be united with God. Patrick's king.
and be with him forever. Almost ln.
stantiy the blush of health left their
cheeks. and they calmly sank to sleep
In death. Their bodies were laid side
by side In Clebach's fountain. which
became one Of the holy wells Of Ire
land. famous for the miracles II
wrought among the people.

A WOMAN'S
GAME
Ey ~. Quad.
Copyright, 1901, BY C. B. Lewis.

When Captain Jabez Bebee of Mar
blehead launched his new brig, he NAM
ed her the Jane Bebee, after his wife.
who had sailed with him for many a
voyage and was almost as good a sailor
as he was. The first voyage of the
brig was to a certain South American
country ruled by dictator, who car
ried things with high hand for five
or six yelrs and got away with a lump
of money Just in time to avoid the revo-
luton that his corrupt practices had
evoked. The craft arrived after q fine
run and was waiting to haul in to the
wharf when an official came aboard
and demanded a bonus Of $1,000 for
permission to land cargo. This was In
addition to port charges and customs
dues and was directly from Don Cas-
tro. It was blackmail, pure and SIM
pie, and Aunt Jane, as the captains
wife was generally called, looked at It
In a proper light and said to her hus-
band:
-Jabez Bebee, we won't pay it, and
you tell him SO straight from the shoul-
der. No, not q blessed penny. They
are just trying to bluff US, and W,
won't submit. You just run up ths
American flag, set the hands to whis
Ting Yankee Doodle, and let this here
don know that the American eagle l.
roosting on the cap Of the mainmast"
The captain braced up and became
defiant, and Don Castro's messenger
was sent away with q flea in his ear
1t was the general opinion that the die
tator woul0 wilt, but the brig was held
at anchor In the harbor for 4S hours or
