xMAslACCIDENTs.
Boy Shot With Gun, Another
Burned With Powder

1t is probable that more fire works
were used during the first two
nights of Christmas than for years.
Wednesday and Thursday nights
men and boys seemed to have an
idea that ordinances against the use
of explosives in the city were mo
good" and they INDUCED themselves
to the fullest. No arrests were
made for Wednesday nights carou-
sal, but the police made five arrests
for not observing the law on Thurs
day night. So far as ascertained in
the county or city, nobody was
killed but a ten-year-old boy, by
the name of Harry Tappan, came
near being the victim of a serious
accident Wednesday afternoon. An
other boy, named Floyd Owen, was
hauling fiobert target gun when it
went off and the ball struck young
Tappan in the side. Fortunately the
charge struck a rib and the victim
escaped with a flesh wound.
Fairleigh Ware. the oldest son Of
Mrs. Fannie Ware, had his face
burned with powder that he wanted
to set off Wednesday. The ignition
was "a little previous to Fairleighs
calculation and he caught the full
blaze in his face, but without serious
results.

mediate Cause of
His Death.

James K. Forbes, .vice-president
Of the Forbes Manufacturing Co.,
died on the night of Dec. oath, at
his home in this city, of paralysis.
Z He had suffered two strokes in re-
cent years, the last leaving him so
helpless that he could only be moved
about in his invalid's chair. On
Monday he was down in the city ap-
pearing quite as well as usual. The
following morning he was taken
with a congestive chill and this was
followed by heart failure that caus'
ed his death at eight o'clock that
evening.

n When his firm became house
.,uilders, it was the part Of Jas. K.
Forbes to provide the lumber, and
his saw mills were kept going wher-
ever timber could be found. OF re-
cent years much of his time had
been spent in the timber districts of
the South. While the older brother
bought the lumber, the younger
managed the rapidly growing bust
ness and they grew rich together,
owning all their property in com
mon.
While residing in the South his
health became impaired. In 1882
he suffered stroke of paralysis
that left his legs partially paralyzed.
In 1905 he suffered a second stroke
and for many months his life was de-
SPARED of. He slowly regained his
strength to some extent and last
summer took great interest in the
saw mill to be started at the new
milling plant of his company in this
city. He would be rolled out in his
chair and would spend the whole
day giving directions. Many logs
have heen delivered and heNwas ex-
pecting to have the mill at work
soon. -
For the las. year or two he had
spent all of his time in this city. but
had been unable to give his attention
to business.
He lived for number of years in
Bowling Green and served term as
mayor Of that city. His fine bust
ness qualifications were carried into
his public duties and he made most
popular officer.
Several years ago he made an UNI
successful race for county judge of

To try and do a part.
In thanking all you gentlemen,
I'll try to make the start.
Our thanks can hardly be expressed
No matter how much we say;
So let's all make merry
On the good old Xmas day.
We hardly know how to take this,
1t is such great surprise,
For when we heard what you did
We opened wide our eyes.
We are but a bunch of soldier boys
That wear the Union Blue,
But we know when we are treated
right,
Just the same as you all do
This makes us feel acquainted,
AS we're gathered here tonight,
List'ning to each others talk
1t makes things seem more
bright.
We will try and do our duty
And set all things to right;
So, we will close with a hearty
thanks,
Merry Xmas and good night.

WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY
Rules for Living to be 100 Given by
Mrs. Brown, Who Is 1o5.

Worcester, Mass.-Mrs. Johanna
Harper Brown, who celebrat-
ed, her 1O5th birthday recently, de-
livered short lecture on the value
Of hard work for prolonging ones
days. The boys and girls have too
easy time, Mrs. Brown thinks, and
depend too much upon their elders
to clothe and feed them.
Plenty Of hard work is good medi
cine, according TO Mrs. Brown, and
she adds that if she had not worked
hard all her life she would have been
dead long ago. She thinks 1t better
for woman to work hard than to
waste her energy carrying a poodle
dog.
"A great fault of most women to-day
Is that they worry too much" said
Mrs. Brown. Worrying isn't going to
help them at all and / always made a
practice not to worry and fret,
Just take things as they come, and
take il easy, When women do that
they will live to be as old as / am"
Mrs. Brown is also certain that the
same rule applied To man Will length
en- his days.
Mrs. Brown was born in Montreal
and came to Massachusetts "a years
ago, making the trip overland by wag-
on and on horseback. She was of a
family OF six children and the mother
OF eight. Her hearing is perfect, she
reads newspapers without glasses and
daily climbs a flight of stairs unaided
to visit neighbors in the house on
Lake street, where she lives with her
daughter.
She believes in the old order OF
meals, breakfast at z, lunch at noon
and supper at G.
AT the birthday celebration there
were 80 descendants of Mrs. Brown
present and five generations were rep.
