Accident.

John Capdau, of this place,
who attended the races at Lake

accident when leaving the grounds
at the conclusion of the races.
Going out of the entrance and
encountering ditch, he thought
he would not wait until the peo-
pie had crossed over on The board
walk, but would jump it. His
foot slipped and he rolled down
the incline, his face being pain
fully cut by hoop band.
Friends gave the necessary as
sistance until the city was reached,
when proper medical care was
given without delay.

The Candid pepys.

No man has ever yet succeeded in
painting an honest portrait of himself
in an autobiography however sedu-
lousy he may have set to work about
1t. In spite of his candid purpose he
omits necessary touches and adds SUI
perfluous ones. At times he cannot
help draping his thought and the least
shred of drapery DISCUSSES 1t. 1t Is
only the diarist who accomplishes the
feat of self portraiture, and he, without
any such end in view, does 1t uncon-
sciously. A man cannot keep n daily
record of his comings and goings and
the little items that make up the sum
of his life and not inadvertently give
himself away Mt every turn. He lays
bare his heart with candor not posi-
Bile to the self consciousness that in
evitably colors premeditated revelation.
Unknowingly he wears his heart upon
his pen for davis to peck at. While
Mr.. Samuel Pepys was filling those
small octave pages with his perplexing
cipher he never once imagined that he
was adding Photographic portrait Of
himself to the worlds gallery of i'm
mortals. We are more intimately ac-
Quainted with Mr.. Samuel Pepys, the
inner man-his little meannesses and
his generosities-than we are with half
the persons we call our dear friends

pocket at the moment to get meal.
He thought of ways and means for
some time and finally hit upon an idea.
He went to the Office of his publish

new novel. directing that the cost
should be placed to his account. Armed
with the fresh, nicely bound volumes,

ration of the required limit sold the

The origin of Johnnycake.

No doubt many others besides the
writer may have wondered how johnny
cake came to be thus named. When a
child, l settled it for myself by mag
lining John Smith, whom Pocahontas
saved had something to do with 1t.
The cake, beiis made of Indian meal,
became thus associated In my mind
with the historical name. A writer in
the Housekeeper says:
LII tracing the term we find ourselves
at time antedating by many years
steam cars and hotels on wheels, in an
age when mankind depended entirely
upon his four footed companions for
transportation and had only saddlebags
in which TO carry his luggage. Tay-
erns We're few and far apart, and a
lunch was always acceptable. Corn
meal, forming SO large Il part Of the
dietary in those days. held n chief place
in making up the lunch. Wet with wa
ter and n little salt added. it was baked
in Il shape that stored away in the sad
dlebags nicely and was called journey
cake. This is the origin of our modern,
unconventional johnnycake.

Greek Story of the First Woman.
The first woman created, according
to heather Greek mythology, was Pan
dora. She was made of clay by Vul.
can. at the request of Jupiter, who
wished to punish the impiety of Pro
metheus by giving him wife. When
this woman of clay had received life,
all the gods WED making her presents.
Venus gave her beauty, the Graces
gave her the power of captivating,
Apollo taught her music, Mercury in,
structed her in eloquence and Minerva
gave her the most splendid ornaments.
From these presents received from the
gods the woman was called Pandora,
which intimates that she had received
every necessary gift.
Prometheus was too artful to marry
this woman and could not be capti-
waited by her charms, but his brother,
Epimetheus. who was not so prudent
married her instead, and upon opening
a box which she presented to him there
issued from it multitude of evils
which dispersed themselves over the
world and still continue to atilict the
human race. Hope only remained at
