Howard Mcconnell.

Death is always sad and each per-
son called on to surrender to the
grim destroyer is dear to someone.
The old who have lived out their
three score and ten years expect his
call, and not infrequently is the
little one taken before the dawn of
childhoods happy days and while
yet the tiny one is in the arms of its
dotiDg parents, all this seems sad to
the afflicted ones, but when we are
called upon TO look on the form of a
fine young man just grown to man $
estate, laid low by the hand of death
which has snatched him from the
love and life of his sweetheat wife
1t is peculiarly heart -rending and we
feel that the ways of the divine pow
err are inscrutable aud not for us to
know.

the crowd and every one enjoyed the
afternoon. The children romped
and the old folks chatted.
On account of the Indictment
weather quite a number of the pic

hUT0iSTS ARRAIGNED
Norfolk Professor Protests Against the
 Prevailing Recklessness.

The following article from the pen of Prof. Howard w. Carter of Norfolk, relative to the recklessness and almost criminal use of the automobile is trite and to the point:
 "Never has there been deeper feel. ing of indignation over the reckless manner in which automobiles are driven through our streets than at the present time.
 In spite of the numerous and serious accidents which have already been re- ported this season, no attention seems to be paid to the matter by the reckless and irresponsible drivers of these death dealing machines. ..@ Scarcely a day passes but automobiles are driven through the very center of our village at a rate exceeding that of the ordinary railroad train, and nothing but the mercy of heaven has prevented more serious accidents than have oc- cured.
 Without exaggeration, some of these drivers seem to have no regard for the rights of man, woman. child, horse, dog or, in fact. of any creature that moves upon the face of the earth. No person outside of lunatic asylum would for moment justify the driving of loco motive engine with all it's accompanying noise and danger through the streets of village except at snail's pace. Many of these machines are to all intents and purposes just as frightful and almost as deadly, and yet we see them using the peaceful highways of our country towns and the crowded thoroughfares of the larger towns as though they were in- tended for steam railroads; men women and children to say nothing of animals are run down and killed or maimed, and still the horrible work goes on. Why should the automobile move through village at rate faster than horse ordinarily travels? Or why should not such machines be under as perfect con- trol as is @ horse under ordinary circum- stances?
 J Few object to the reasonable use of automobiles, but later generation will look back with wonder at a time like this when engines like these were al lowed to be driven up and down our streets and highways regardless of the rights or lives of the peaceabla residents of the land who have built and main tained these roads not as speed ways but as means of passing peaceably and safely to and from their homes without being momentarily exposed to the risk of sud den death or serious injury"
