Mr.. and Mrs. II. G. Smith, Glen.
Katie and Mr., w. B. Smith have re-
turned to town again after two
weeks vacation spent on the latter's
farm near Lamont. Evidently the
simple life did not agree with Henry
or else the fact of his long absence
induced him to take try at "hogg-
ing the lime light" We think the
latter was strong factor in his case
for it certainly was thrilling to see
him last Tuesday morning falling
down the milky way at the inter
section of Main and Franklin streets
while the ferocious unmanageably
ponies Of his young son, Glen, chas-
ed wildly away from him. After
his quiet recuperation on the farm we
suppose that Henry's muscle had
suffered soitening. We have al
ways considered him something of a
horseman but perhaps the gentle,
tractable equinines on the farm had
lured him into careless ways. This
incident recalls how Phaethon, son
of Helios, drove the chariot of the
sun one day and with what dis.
astrous results his ride was attend.
ed. We would advise that Glen be as
careful to keep his father away from
the ponies in the future as Helios
was to restrain Phaethon from evel
again driving the Sun Chariot.
