would do credit to an adult wielder of the

found time since December to learn to
read and has perused three books suited
to her years. Miss Marjorie is evidently

d. H. Morse and his daughter, Mary,
were driving down Main street late Satur-
day afternoon on their way home, when
Mr.. Morse attempted to pass the team of
George Hyzer in front of the high school
grounds. Just at that moment, Mrs. Ed.
Mcintosh, whose team was ahead of Mr..
Hyzer's, turned down School street and
came right in front of Mr.. Morse, who
had to choose between a collision with
her carriage or the hydrant at the corner.
He refined into the hydrant, which came
out of the encounter intact, but the Cross
bar and wheels of the wagon were some
what broken, and both Mr.. Morse and
his daughter were thrown out. Both
were well shaken up, but neither was in
jured, and the wagon was not so wrecked
but, after few make-shift repairs, they
were able to ride in it the rest of the way.
