One hundred years ago the Bible
was printed in so different langua-
ges. Now it exists in 500 languages
In many instances the translator
must create words as we'll as letters.
The Eskimo's have no lambs and the

beads, grass mats, bracelets, rice, su-

TERRIBLE INJURY
Hand Caught In Shredder Badly Torn
Questionable Whether It
Can Be Saved

While our nephew, Mr.. James
Gregg. Superintendent of the Webb
Publishing Company's Experimental
Farm at Pennington, Minnesota, was
shredding corn on the farm last Fri
day, he is some manner had his hand
caught in the machinery so rs to tear
it as shredders do tear them. We Of
ten hear of such accidents with shred
ders but when it comes so near home
as to cripple for life our own dear
ones, 1t seems so much worse. To look
at that hand, when only few min
utes before was able for it's share Of
the labor that hands find to do in this
world and now to see that useful men,
ber in strips bleeding and torn to an
unrecognizable mass, never more to
assume shape, aud to be q cripple for
life or as long as time shall last in this
body. Sympathy is poor pay mas
ter at such times, for they are times Of
need and of suffering, and nothing
fills the bill nor palate the injury
more than to- know careful frugal
mind has prepared competency for
accidents Accidental Insurance.
