As Mrs. A. T.. Dean and Miss Cora Hol-
brook were driving Monday they met
with a little mishap near the Primary
school building. The saving machine of
Wallace Luce was in the school yard and
| the pole which stretched into the road had
an iron on the end of it that stuck into
their sleigh, tipping it over and throwing
them out. Instead of Selling this oppor-
tunity TO make a dash for liberty, the
horse stopped and turned around to see
what was the matter, so that the sleigh
was quickly righted, and the ladies en-
abled to go on their way with no more
evil effects from the accident than a few
bruises and general shaking-up.
