Wouldn't Let the Auto Pass.

When they struck stretch of road
wide enough to pass, Ogden pulled his
machine in the ditch and tried to go
around the vehicle. The farmer pulled
in front of him, however, and the au-
tomobile sideswiped the rig. The auto
was scratched considerably and one
lamp was broken, but the horse, buggy
and occupants escaped unhurt. The
name of the farmer could not be
learned.

Was a Middle-of-the-Road Man.

Dore Ogden, of this city, also had
an experience with a farmer. He was
driving his touring car west of the
city when he caught up with a man
and girl driving a horse. The horse
did not brighten at the auto, so the
man looked back, laughed and kept in
the center of the road. In vain did
Ogden foot his horn and call for the
man to turn out.

Neither of Them Could Wait.

Kathke and the girl had been miss
ing since Tuesday, when they left their
homes to visit friends in another part
of the city He had been paying at
tention to the young woman for about
four years, and was anxious to make
her his wife. The parents of both,
however. objected because Of their
youthfulness, and these objections
caused the young couple much sor-
row. The young woman had often
spoken of ending her life if not permit
ted to marry, but little attention was
paid to her remarks.
Goes to His Death FIippantly.
Before leaving home on Tuesday
Kathke told a cousin he was going
out for a launch ride on the Delaware
river with Miss Miller. He was in good
spirits, apparently, and told the rela-
tive that If anything should happen TO
him not to let the coroner bury him.
He told the cousin jokingly to hang
crepe on the front door and lay a
bunch of eighteen roses on his coffin.
The young man and woman failed to
return to their homes that night and
the next day they were reported to the
police as missing.
Mother Hears from Daughter.
The morning mail of Wednesday
brought a letter to the girls mother
in which the daughter said the moth
er would never see her again. Moth
| ing more was heard of the couple until
the churning of the propeller of a tug
boat caused the bodies to come to the
surface. The way the arms were
clasped about each other it is supposed
that Kathke and Miss Miller embraced
and Jumped into Inc river.

They stopped. The man was still a

After he had driven past he left his
horse standing and came back to the
machine, still waving the gun and
threatening to shoot if the driver start

through the section of the county for

could not be found.

Was It Vandalism?

The Pennsylvania who blew up
the painted rock" an old Indian al
tar-stone near Hillsboro, will receive
a good deal of sympathy in his van
dalism. The dynamiter submits sim.
ply that his farm, on which the relic
stood, was being ruined by sight
seers, and the only method Of self
protection was the utter humiliation
of this center Of attraction. AS a mat
ter Of fact, there was another alterna-
tive, putting up a fence and charging
admission, but this he evidently put
behind him. Undoubtedly the pro-
verbal happiness Of the people who
have no history consists largely In
their freedom from the intrusion Of
pilgrims. Poets cottages and bullet
riddled homesteads are beautiful
things to perpetuate, but nightly un-
comfortable to live in. Those stead
fast qualities Of mind and heart which
characterize Massachusetts,, says the
New York Post, are due, we are sure,
no more to the constant presence OF
unseen peril limited at by the Private

the infiiction OF living in houses

Summer Accidents.


II It were possible to make a COM
plete list of all the casualties of n
whole vacation season-say from the
LIST of July TO the LIST Of October-the
showing would be so alarming as to
shock careful parents and to call into
existence a host Of reform societies.
The fact that summer accidents are re-
ported as they occur, singly and In
widely separated places, accounts in
large measure for the slight and transit
tory impression they make on the pub
lie mind. The old meaning OF the
word accident, as something that Just
happens and could not have been
prevented, still clings to 1t. Most of
those who read these words may hold
that view of 1t, and some of them are
almost ceretain to fnt out by expert
ence, before the summer Is over, wheth-
er or not 1t Is rue The purpose Of
this article is to change their minds.
Accidents do not lust happen" nor Is
anyone justified in calling them dis
pensations OF Providence ; planned
and foreordained by the Creator for
some good but inscrutible purpose,
says the Youths Companion. Acct
dents are due to definite, material and
usually preventable causes. The Gre
ator does not deliberately decree that
a certain canoe shall glide out from
under a certain man and drown him,
but He does establish immutable laws
which the canoe obeys, and which the
canoeist also must obey, II he would
live. On sea, on land, in yacht, auto
mobile, mountain camp, or on foot,
the immitablo laws hold good. Thos
who observe them go free, those who
disobey are punished. The need for
care, for caution, for common sense Is
more urgent in the summer than at
other times only because 1t Is then
that a larger number of persons are
engaged, for purposes Of recreation.
in doing things which are new to them,
