head. One edge, however, struck her

bones are broken, and the INJURY will
not prove serious unless some internal
injury was suffered.
c. H. Chase and Dan Dukin, the
men who saved the little girls life,
refuse to be called heroes, but those
who saw the incident contradict them.

Inspectors of dairy herds. working
among the cows which furnish the milk
for Mason City consumers have found
on an average Of 5 per cent Of cattle
affected with tuberculosis. The in
spectors are working near the city at
present and inspect from twenty five
to thirty head of cattle per day and of
that number from two to three are af-

And eggs are changed to omelets above the

And sometimes when she's fixing the ma

She turns cider into mince meat right be-
fore your very eyesl
Sometimes she makes eurrant roll-you
would not think she could
Or makes peach turnover, or does some-

But she says quite the hardest task that
ever she has found
Is. when she has her boys at tea to make

they stepped from the train they
were surprised to find that a

snow would be great fun, espe-

Andy had brought big bobsled

selves for the ride, what accidents, if
any, they experienced on the trip,
whether or not they got cold, what
welcome they received at the farm and
how they spent Thanksgiving day.

DEATH TAKES WRITER
OF FAMOUS OLD SONG

Mrs. Julia A. Carney. author of Lit
tie Drops of Water" and other popular
poems and hymns, died recently, after
a long illness. She was born in Lam
caster, Mass, eighty-five years ago.
Little Drops of Water" set to mu-
sic and sung in churches and schools
all over the world, was written in a
few minutes, when the writer was Miss
Julia Abigail Fletcher. The first verse
was written as sort of summing up
at the finish of a magazine article OH
theT value of little things. The night
after finishing the article she wrote the
three additional verses in shorthand
as practice in a shorthand class. A
few days later the editor of the maya
zine rushed the office boy over to get
something to fill up the corners" Re-
membering her verses, she copied them
and sent them over. They were an
immediate success.
Little drops of water
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
So the little moments
Humble tho they be,
Make the mighty ages
OF eternity.
So our little
Lead the soul away
From the paths. of virtue
Far in sin to stray.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love.
Help to make earth happy.

THE SMALL COLLEGE

m HE small college is the school
of the poor mans son or the
- poor young man who must get
through with a small fund. The
great college, or so-called university,
is oftener than not the school of the
rich mans son, where the acquire
ment of knowledge is secondary to
cutting a splurge," spending money
and eventually securing a diploma
without doing much work for it. It
is in the small colleges that the great

ter in the world to make buckle and
tongue meet. They have the raw ma
terial from which to turn out the
highest classes of developers, but
they are hampered by lack of facil-
tiles for the thorough training of their
students. With more money, more
and better equipment, stronger facul-
ties, they would add to the already
great work they are doing. Philan-
thropists who desire to promote edu-
cation are not making the best pos
sible use of their money when they
give it to universities" that are al
ready rich and which are chiefly pat
ronized by the rich. They should
rather lend helping hand to the small
colleges, and thus to the young men
of strong brains but weak purses
whose finances will not permit of their
taking a university course.-Savannah
