Narrow Escapes of Two Lakeville Boys

Narrow Escapes of Two lakeville Boys
 During Freshet.
 Two Lakeville boys were nearly drowned during the recent high water. Our Lakeville correspondent writes as follows: Misfortunes were rather num- erous on Saturday last during the freshet. George Roebuck fell into tho brook by the bridge near the Chapin place and foated down the stream for 8 hundred yards or more and was rescued by Harry Judd who happened to see him in time to save his life. He was un- conscious when taken from the water. Another was boy named Ostrander who was wading in theRutter in front of H. l.. Barnett's house where the water was quite deep. He slipped and fell into the big iron pipe that carries out ot sight as MT. Barnett, who hap pened to be near, grabbed for him and caught hold of his coat but the suction was so powerful that the coat pulled of and the boy went under again. MT. Barnett and Myron Holley grabbed and caught the boys hand. It was about all both men could do to pull him out of the pipe. Myron Hollsy sat down in about 15 inches of water but Myron needed no help to get out which was noticeable by the move he made in get ting up.
 The Roebuok boy was quite seriously injured, being cut about the face and hands by the big pieces of ice floating down the stream.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN


WnaI "ouIO ne OO as TTeSiuenl
 To-day.
 Since the writing of the editorial in to-dav's paper asking what Lincoln would do were he alive and in the presi- dential chair to-day Secretary Taft made a speech at Grand Rapids, Mich, in which he discussed this subject.
 MT. Taft argued suocessively that the martyred President would be a Repub lican. were he alive in 1908, that he would be protectionist, and that he would do just as Mckinley did and as Roosevelt has done in the Philippines, and that he would hold up the hands of the President in his struggle against unlawful business combinations.
 During the administration of Theo- dore Roosevelt our influence as world power has exceeded anything before ill our history. Under these circumstan- ces is there room for doubt that Abra- ham Lincoln would have approved the policy of Mckinley and Roosevelt in maintaining our position as 8 world power.
 "From the soles of his feet through all that long frame to the top of his head he was a democrat In the true sense of the word and opposed to privi lege and class immunity. He was not an enemy of wealth lawfully accumul- ated. He welcomed and encouraged in ternal improvements and of course favored prosperity developed by busi- ness enterprises and the combinations of capital, but he always exalted in the consideration of every issue the rights of the individual and especially of the humber members of society who were least able to protect themselves.
 Upon that, characterization of the Great American the speaker based this assertion:
 Therefore we may know with cer- tainty that cannot brook contradiction that ill the struggle to make all busi- ness lawful, to take away from great corporate combinations the illegal privi- leges and immunities that official inves- tigations have shown in many instances to prevail, Lincoln would have made the same good fight which has endeared Roosevelt to the same plain people of the country who upheld the hands of the martyred President through all the great trials of his administration"
