Accidents

Misses Amilie and Rebecca Wilmer,
while on their way to Mrs Lille 7. G..
Mitchell's on Monday, met with an acct
dent by having their horse take fright
and run away near Hawthorne, the home
of Mrs. C. p. Hamilton. The horse,
which was pulled into a wire fence,
made an attempt to jump it and in doing
so cut itself up pretty badly, smashed
the buggy, throwing the young ladies
out. Both were pretty we'll shaken up
and somewhat bruised but escaped
serious injury.
Mr.. Frank Carpenter, OF this County,
while firing an engine between Washing
ton and Philadelphia, had three fingers
badly cut and bruised, while two of
them were broken at the joint. 1t seems
that something flew from a passing
train, striking him on the fingers For
tunately he will not lose any Of them.

People VIII Talk.

You may get through the world, but
twill be very slow,
If you listen to all that is said as you go;
You'n be worried and fretted, and kept
in stew
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to do
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it pre-
sumed
That your humble position is only as
sumed-
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else
you're fool,
But don't get excited-keep perfectly
cool
For people'will talk
And then, if you show the least boldness
Of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your own
part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited
and vain,
But keep straight ahead-don't stop to
explain
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, or old-fashion-
ed your hat,
Some one will surely take notice OF that,
And hint rather strong that You can't
pay your own way.
But don't get excited, whatever they
say
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion don't think
to escape,
For they eriticise then in different
shape:
You're ahead of your means, or youI
tailor's unpaid,
But mind your own business-there's
naught to be made
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as YOU
please;
For your mind, if you have one, vii
then be at ease.
| of course you will meet with all sorts o
abuse;
But don't think to stop them--it ain
any use
For people will talk. lex

more optimistic view that the dense

START OF A FLORIDA FEUD.

Mans Farm Built on Coral FlOated
Away and Neighbor Took 1t.
Speaking about feuds," said John l..
Humphries of Tampa, Fla, II think
that the strangest, in its inception, Is
one between two families in Marion
County, In our State. 1t came about
this way. You know in our State some
times land disappears during the night
and a man wakes up to find his gar
den great sinkhole. This Is, Of course,
due to the fact that Florida is built on
coral and not very substantially built
at that, especially In some of the in
terror counties. Harry Redding had a
nice patch. of Irish potatoes, and Oliver
Vance, his neighbor, had what he called
n farm and near the house was a sink
hole.
zone night Readings potato patch
disappeared and the next morning he
had a nice large sinkhole filed with
water where his garden was. The same
night Vance, who had sinkhole when
he went to bed, woke up to find that
the hole was filled with dirt, In which
there seemed to be lot of pebbles
about the size of a mans fist. Natur-
ally he was surprised, He examined
the pebbles to find them potatoes, and
after calling the family up they got to
| work and gathered in six bushels OF
potatoes ready for market.
That's where the trouble began
Redding claimed that under the law
where a mans stock wanders on to the
premises of another. without his fault
he can go after 1t. He argued that the
same doctrine applied to potatoes which
had wandering habits. For he was very
| sure that the potatoes on the Vance
| fSrm belonged to him. Vance and his
friends invoked another principle OF
| law that q man owns his land from
heaven to hades and he refused to dig
ND the potatoes for the benefit Of his
neighbor.
"All that happened ten years ago"
continued Mr.. HUMPHREYS, "and the
Readings and the Vances are still
armed against each other. Two or three
skirmishes have taken place between
the parties and one of the Vance boys
IS years old, was wounded by fire from
the enemy.
"They are never spoken to each Other
since that eventful night ten years ago
Lawyers and politicians have gone Out
to help them settle their difficulties
but they were obdurate, and II the feud
grows for twenty years as It has al
ready Florida and Marion County will
have feud equal to the best that Ken
lucky has ever produced Re
publican.

In these days, when families are NOV
ing from one place to another in the
hope of lettering themselves, it is inter-
esting to read Of an aged woman who
died In a New England town In the
same house and in the same room In
which she was born. For the better
part Of century she had been active In
the kindly Christian work of the vii
lage, and had come to be looked upon
as one of its institutions. Families
which have an old homestead that has
been In the family for generation after
generation have a possession worth
more than dollars and cents, as every
member Of an ltinerant family with
out such homestead will testify.

That high collars tend to produce
nervous headache among both men and
women is the most recent discovery of
a well-known Viennese physician. Quite
accidentally the doctors attention was
directed to the very high and very tight
style Of collar worn by patient who
was always complaining Of headaches
and giddiness. The collar was laid
aside, thus removing the compression
OF the neck, and the patients head
aches and giddlness disappeared.
Struck by this result, the doctor paid
particular attention to the kind Of col
lars worn by his headache patients
and in very many instances the change
to lower and easier fitting collars
brought immediate relief. In the case
Of women wearing high, stifr neckbands
1t was found that doing away with
these had a similarly beneficial result.
The doctor declares that nobody with
anx tendency to headache should wear
<ollars.

Signs of Brain Exhaustion,

A doctor says that when a person
begins to have doubts about the spell.
Ing Of common words, to write an I'M
naturally small hand that shows a
tendency to waver above and below a
straight line and to grasp the pen with
unnecessary force, especially at the
end of long word, then that person
is suffering from brain exhaustion and
ought either to take complete rest or
else to find work Of an altogether new
and different kind.

In OulclaI Language Lnere are pOSIdl
cards and post cards. The former Is
the penny card issued by the govern
ment with the stamp printed upon 1t,
while the post card, usually pictorial,
restrictions In size and weight, and
must have a stamp affixed. Lately the
souvenir post card has become a sort
of avalanche In America as well as
Europe, and forms serious problem
In the working arrangements of post
offices. The post card is one Of the
things that were never definitely born,
but just grew. Plctorially, it first came
into notice In Germany, ten years ago,
and that country, with France and
England, still lead in its use, mailing
last year 1,200,0O0,O00, valued at $22,-
100000, and calling on thirty different
occupations In their manufacture. Their
popularity in the United States dates
from 1902 and has kept growing until
they have almost overwhelmed some of
the postofices, especially in the vaca-
ton season. At Coney Island, with its
Labor Day outing, 175,000 souvenir
cards were sent in the outgoing mail,
and a week later at the same resort q
baby show resulted in the mailing of
100000 souvenir cards in single day.
An unexpected addition like this to
postal labors is serious question to
those who must deal with 1t practically,
but 1t Is evidently an innovation that
has come to stay. A certain degree of
epistolary guile Is found In the SOU
venir post card. There is scant room
for writing and the communication
must necessarily be short. If the pic
ture Is striking, beautiful, and has an
associated interest in time and place,
the excuse Is gracefully put, and the
answer can be in kind. The pictures pre-
served In order form an album of trav.
ell and have In that respect a lasting
interest But how letter writing has
fallen from its former high estate when
1t was a branch of literature! Now a
pleasant scrawl under an Alp, a water.
fall, an architectural view or a mar
ket scene, answers the purpose, and
there are few persons who would not
rather send thirty souvenir cards on
thirty consecutive days than to write
one letter week. Travellers are sup.
posed to have unbounded leisure and
flow of spirits, and expected to give a
lengthy and graphic account of their
experiences. Buying a pictorial gem
