Runaway Smashes Buggy.

Andy Beaty's horse was frightened
Thursday afternoon and ran away and
demolished his buggy. Andy had his
grey steed tied opposite Gill's store
on the heights, and 1t is thought that
a wasp stung the horse on the nose
and caused him to break loose and
run away. Some parties noticed him
paving the air and snorting like a
wild horse, and in Q moment he gave
a lunge, snapped bis halter rope and
started down the road toward the
Catholic church with tightening
speed. He made every turn In the
road without upsetting the buggy and

posite the Catholic church he was 60

seemed inevitable. When he reached
the town just south OF Ohas. Early's
residence he was going at breakneck
speed and being unable to make the
turn he plunged into MI. Earley's
garden and landed against q large oak
tree. This stripped the harness from
the horse and completely wrecked the
buggy. Every spoke was broken and
the rig was otherwise generally de-
molished. The horse ran Into town
and when caught acted 90 though he
was proud OF his achievement.

commodities manufactured, and the
whole country has been more prosper
Gus than ever before in its history.
Everyone seems better satisfied be-
cause he knows that there will be no
more strikes nor crippling Of trade and
industry.
The reformeIs also gave the right to
vote to the women OF their country.
They did not think it right that one
half of the people had no share in the
government. Thsy did not view won
en- as their interiors, or as idiots, or
dolls. So New Zealand became the
first country in the world to recognize
the political equally OF women. Both
the men and women of New Zealand
sgiee that woman surffsge has been
good thing, and has helped to improve
and purity political life. Candidates
are more careful what they say and
how tbes say it when they know wom-
en- voters are listening to them. They
have found too that women can vote,
and understand perfectly what they
are voting about, and be Just as good
wives and mothers as though they
never knew anything about pOliticaI
lite.
In New Zealand work is not consid-
cred a Disgrace, but the essential
foundation OF the welfare OF both the
country and the individual. 1t has
been said that they view work to be
as necessary as air and sunlight, and
exactly as much of a right. There
fore they have reolved that there
snould be no idle men in the country,
who have to be supported at public
expense. To do away with this the
government has established tree la
bor bureau, covering the whole coun-
try with we'll organized and well
equipped branches, where any man
without employment can register.
The government then sees to it that
be obtains work. IL none can be found
he is put to work on the government
railroads which is always extending
its lines. In 1905 the New Zealand
government found employment for
3l30 persons, having 3425 persons de-
pendent upon them. Thus 6555 peo-
pie were saved from want and idle
ness.
IL has often been supposed that
there the state does so many things
tor Its people there is less incentive
to Individual effort. But instead OF
this Mr.. Russell says: "The people OF
New Zealand work and toll as might
ly as any other inhabitants of this
globe" And In oil New Zealand
there are no unhealthy employments,
no over crowded factories, nor long
hours, but for all there is enough
food, comfort, rest, and recreation.
Each nation has its individual pro-
blems; problems peculiar to itself.
Each nation has to NEE and solve its
problems in it's own peculiar way.
Social conditions In New Zealand
forced advanced problems upon her.
New Zealand grsppled with these
questions with determination and
solved them in way of her own but
satisfaotor to all the people. The time
Is drawing near when we must meet
man of the same questions and others
greater; and 1t Is to be hoped that
our solution of them may prove cor
rect and efficient, and that as result
our people may increase in prosperity
and happiness and our nation in hon
or and efficiency.
