Dr. Lew Wallace had a near runaway

wondering how he could separate one
of his patients from his money without
performing a surgical operation on his
pocket book. Just then a load of alf-
alfa doomed up on the horizon. Such
an unusual sight naturally attracted the
attention of the doctors spirited team.
Both team and driver booked longingly
at the alfalfa, but neither seemed to
notice stump by the roadside The
doctor landed somewhere between half
past five and the small of his back,
while the team raced down the gulcl
in the direction the alfalfa came from

the road. They passed him line and
he climbed aboard. About two miles
further on they came across the team.
They had not found the alfalfa. The

evening collecting small pieces of the
cutter for keepsakes. A little court
plaster fixed the doctor all right, and
he was observed later heading
in the direction of the canyon to see if
he could find souviner himself.

That is 46 members out of 400 or

1t has been the custom for some
years for the firemen to go to

ally by special invitation of one of
the churches.
The invitation this year came
from the Baptist church, but only
about one tenth of the department
responded. The firemen are evil

churches will probably be little
slow in inviting them hereafter.
