AN ODD ACCIDENT.

While w. FL. Cochran and wife
accompanied by their daughter, Mrs.
Biron, were out driving Saturday
evening they met with an accident
that was very peculiar as well as very
unexpected. AS they were passing
the corner in front of the Centralia
Hardware Co.'S. store about 8 O'Clock
the electric light that was being
repaired had been lowered SO that
the wires caught the canopy top of
their buggy and tipped it backward
until the back seat touched the
ground Mr.. Cochran was thrown
backward until acting the part of a
laplander. 1t was all done so quick
and so unexpected that they can hardly
tell how they got out of the tangled
mess. Their clothing was badly torn,
and they received several bruises but
no one was seriously hurt. The horse
acted the sensible part and quitely
waited for things to be made right.
1t was one of the quickest and
queereSt accidents that has happened
in this city for some time, and there
is much to be thankful for that no
one was Killed or even seriously hurt.

SEVEN YEARS In AMERICA


Last night it was our pleasure To
have two nour chat with the Rev.
B. J. H. Shaw, Pastor OF the First
Congregational Church. Grand Rapids,
q. S. A. formerly of Moor Lane Chapel
Chitheroe. who is spending we'll
earned holiday in this country. Mr..
Shaw is we'll known as a st.ong
thinker and a progressive preacher
and teacher: and it is quite evident
he has found his place in that land of
energy and vitality where the people
are eager for new impressions, where
the human race stands on one common
level more than in any other nation.
America Goods own country" Il
like America because OF its 5oundleSS
opportunities and its freedom. .'Said
Mr.. Shaw There is freedom to any
man who wants to be anything and
to do anything. There is nothing TO
hinder him and nothing to restrict
him: if he has ability and ambition
| there is scope for it. [ like its
untrammelled education. | cannot
speak too highly OF The Educational
System of America, its eminence, the
| money spent on it, the faith of the
people in it, and their devotion to it.
1t is the hope of America, and of any
country, because if you can get a
thoroughly intellectual people you
get everything else. That is the
beginning of all reform. The social
element in the church life of America
is fine thing. There are SO many
opportunities of meeting and trying
to make one another happy.-The

RAMBLER ROSE CULTURE.
Success In Growing Flower Causes No
Ind Of Pride to Boston
Gardener.

Did ever flower grow and improve in

asks the Boston Transcript. When q
few years back we succeeded in produc-
ing crimson rambler SO beautiful that
it was popular enough to appear on every
porch In every suburb we were proud as
peacocks OF our new toy. Its cluster of
small blossoms seen at close range were
a JOY and its rambling nature made it the
most decorative Of all our climbing
things. And plain citizens were content
with 1t. But ambitious gardeners saw
In 1t possibilities that their profession
babe them develop, and so they soon Of
fered US ramblers in every rose color,
after which they turned their attention
to the individual blossoms, with the re-
suit that this year the clusters are like
rose bushes and each rose in itself as
large and as perfect as many found on
bushes which think they have done well
when they grow one rose to a stem.

WHY DID HE DO 1T?

AS we were passing the store of one of
our wealthy and prosperous merchants
not long ago we found him busily
engaged in digging the putty from the
window and making some repairs on
the same. We stopped and asked a
few questions as to why he did not
turn job Of this kind over to one of
his employees. This merchant has
accumulated snug fortune and has
been in active service nearly forty
years, yet he works just like COM
mon man and the people Of the city
marvel but why?
Repairing windows and saving
pennies is fad with this man. he gets
his recreation and enjoyment In it.
Who can say that it is not as sensi-
BILE and as harmless as running an
automobile, for instance, sailing a
yacht, or playing billiards and the
man with $4,000 stored away can
afford to give his time to labor OF
little profit. The foolish world may
laugh at it, if it will, but the genuine
laugh belongs to him who in spite of
plenty of means find satisfaction in
healtE-giving work. We are at heart
set of silly snobs who really have no
proper respect for manual labor, and
SO regard the man who performs it
through choice instead of necessity
the slave to his business, but this is a
fools notion. Who can deny that man
with plenty Of money can as reasonably
repair his windows, as can a man
without dollar No amount of
money can make any man too good
for the labor which is is the natural
portion of all.
