AR. Taft finally made these things
plain: That in his judgment America

national apprecia ton of sculptural work
which was notably fine. like Mr.

Valentine Day in all the years to

least two people in the world, and
those two are Walter Watson and his
bride. who was, up 10 yesterday, Mabel
Jones. The young people came TO
Washington from their home in Brooke,
Va. each one single. and went back
there today bride and groom.
The story Of their marriage reads
like a bit of fiction made up TO suit
the fascinating feast OF St Valentine,
for certainly things could not have
happened more opportunely if they had
been timed By the clock Cupid him
self might have been seen driving these
two young people TO the altar. for his

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Geo Rice's Close Call At A Saw
Mill,

Geo Rice of this city had a narrow
escape from being sawn asunder last
week at bis saw mill now located near
Preston. He placed his hand against
the side circular saw to SEQ that it was
rot too hot. The suction caused by the
rapidly revolving saw drew him toward
the saw causing him to lose his balance.
In falling he struck the lever which
throws the carrier in gear s tartipg it to
ward the saw and as Mr. Rioe had fallen
insfront OF the carrier his position was
exceedingly perilons. The carrier was
slowly pushing him toward the reyoIv-
ing saw and for short time it looked
like sure death. He cried frantically
for help and one of the other men reached
the lever throwing the carrier out Of
gear just in time to prevent an awful
tragedy. What close call it really
was can be imagined when it's considere
that Mr.. Rice received small cut on
the forehead which is supposed TO haze
been made by the saw barely glazing
him,
