lNDExING SCRAP-BOOKS,
Takes But Little Time and Nav Save
Much Labor That Is
Wasteful

when l started keeping a scrap
book" said a man who writes things
for living, "a wise friend of mine
advised me to index it as l went along
HE told me that when l pasted ul
the stuff in the book it would take
only minute Or two more to make
the proper entries at the back, and
that 1 would find this index a time
saver and very great convenience.
Il knew that this was wise advice
but didn't heed it. l had only one
scrap book, and thought l could re-
member what was in it and where tc
find it, aud so didn't bother about
the index. l started my second book
in the same slack way, and SO, con-
TESS, l have continued ever since
Nov l have a pile of scrap books
all unindexed, ano when l want to
find anything In them l have to hunt
for it-time taking and brain wear
ing work.
Long ago | began to wish that ]
had followed my wise friends advice.
and for the benefit of those who have
the courage to act on it l now repeat
what he said to me: Index your scrap
books"

HORSES HAVE BAD DAY
No Less Than Five Runaways
Recorded For Saturday After
n00n

Saturday was a day of runaways.
The germ of unruliness seemed to
take possession of the horses in this
city, and the people on the streets
were compelled to scatter on no less
than five occasions.
The first runaway of importance
was the team attached to the ten
cent buss. Early after dinner this
team, while standing near the St.
Paul depot, became frightened, and
made mad dash to get away The
driver was not in the rig at the time,
and the lady passenger who was being
transferred from one depot to the
other was given an exciting ride and
finally tipped into the streets hurting
her shoulder and ankle little. The
injury was not serious, however, and
she was able to proceed to her desti-
nation.
The second horse to become infected
with the germ, was the horse at
tached to a cutter and driven by w
Z. McGlynn's two boys. One of the
little fellows succeeded in getting to
the unrully animals head, but he was
unable to control it. The bride
losened, and the horse dashed away,
impaling the cutter on picket fence
OF the old cemetery grounds. The
lad who remained in the cutter was
uninjured, but the little fellow who
endeavored to stop the horse by TAX
ing hold of its head, was thrown to
the ground and scraped by the cutter
runner. His injuries were not serious
but the cutter and harness were badly
damaged.
Later in the afternoon a Nekoosa
team became frightened on the Oak
street hill and made things lively for
little time. They were stopped and
Quoted near Rowland's store, how
ever, before any damage resulted.
A farm horse attached to cutter
seemed to catch the contagion and
before it was stopped, it hung the
cutter on a Lincoln street fence. The
driver was uninjured, but we under
stand that the harness and cutter
were quite badly damaged.
Chris. Missions horse also caught
the disease and INDUCED in ''making
time without serious results.

Orphaned American Children.

In many American households the
child appears to be the property Of the
mother alone. The American father
has unfortunately little to say about
the training of his children. He dis
appears early in the morning before the
child is out of the nursery, and returns
at night when the child is in bed. The
mother goes with the children through
life every step of the way. The IA
Their, on the other hand, works for his
child with as great a devotion as any
father in the world, but he permits
his wife to take the place IN the childs
regard that should be partly his.-Lon-

SPINSTERS AND WIDOWS.
Are Made the Special Objects of Pro-
vision of Scituate, Massa-
chusetts, Fund.

A veritable "old maids paradise is
located in Scituate That ancient
South Shore town bears the distinc-
ton of possessing fund of which the
proceeds are devoted to the care Of
dependent maiden women.
So far as the Scituate selectmen
know. says the Boston Globe, there is
not life fund under the supervision
OF a town anywhere in the state.
More than a quarter of a century ago
Miss Eliza Jenkins decided that wom-
en- approaching the sere and yellow
leaf of life, who had, like herself, re-
manned single from choice or other
wise, should be provided for when
they became dependent wholly I'D N
home in Scituate was at that time ell
tirely out of the question. Miss Jen-
kins straightway did the next best
thing and left fund of $4,000, the in
terest of which is yearly distributed
among the worthy maidens of the
town.
The Jenkins fund has always been
in charge of the selectmen. In the
last few years they have placed about
$40 each in the hands of half a dozen
persons. This odd fund has benefited
persons in Scituate for so many years
that the townspeople have come to re-
gard it as very common institution:
it is available only for native-born
women, and this is about the only re-
striction its donor made.
Many person has been helped in
the last 25 years to pay off mort
gage, buy fuel for the winter months
or purchase seeds for the spring plant
ing through this fund. The select
men know pretty nearly every one
In the town, and it is comparatively
easy for them to discriminate between
the worthy and unworthy.
Soon after Miss Jenkins thoughtful
ly provided for the "old maids an
other maiden woman, Miss Lucy
Thomas, originated the idea of SINH
lar fund for widows. She left $1,000,
also under the care of the selectmen,
for native-born widows. Interest has
been drawn from this fund nearly as
many years as from the Jenkins fund.

GRAND RAPIDS
WINS BY SO TO 7
Plainfield Basket Ball Team
Goes Down to Defeat at Hands
oil Lincoln High.

The first basket ball game of the
season was played Friday night.in the
high school gymnasium, the Plain
field Highs being the opposing team.
The game started slow, but when
our five whirlwinds got started, the
way they went after the Plainfield
boys would have made Dan Patch"
look as if he was walking on stills.
The boys from Plainfield weren't 50
slow either
Two of the boys on the home team
Noyer and Arpin-are last years
players, but Wood, Crowns and Heise
are new men, having played their first
game last night. From a spectators
point of view, however, one would
think they had played all their life.
Arpin, Voyer and Heise especially
are good in passing, bewildering their
opponents. Crowns. the Nekoosa boy,
can take care of himself and as it
proved, Plaintield man in the
bargain.
There is no visible reason why the
Grand Rapids Highs should not come
into the limelight this season, as the
showing made last night certainly
ought to convince the athletic
directors that if a good schedule is
obtained the boys will play the
games. The financial part would be
small matter if as much enthusiasm
is shown on the part of followers of
the game as was shown last evening.
The game called at SIS and for the
first few minutes of play neither side
seemed able to score. Grand Rapids
led out with q couple of baskets,
however, and kept leading until the
score at the end of the first half stood
sixteen to four against Plaintield.
The second half was a repetition of
the last part of the first, our boys
doing passing stunts and throwing
baskets in way which dazzled their
opponents. The final score was thirty
eight to seven.
