Another phase of the telephone
madness, and one of the most au-
dacious, is the impertinence it makes
possible against the party called up
Impulsive women say things to men
and to each other over the telephone
that they would never say face to face
To be rude to an acquaintance is at
all times shocking to the gentle,
therefore to have to answer the long
drawn-out cali of an idler, who wishes
to kill time at your expense, is out
rageous. Nevertheless. seemingly 1t
must be done and very graciously.

BUGGY AND SERIOUSLY HURT
Horses Became Frightened at Piece
Of Waste Paper and Dashed
Into Catholic Church

While driving home from church
last Sunday -. Pring who resides
about a quarter OF mile south
west OF this city was thrown from
his buggy and received some very
painful and serious injuries. The
doctor was accompanied by his two
children, John and the five year
old baby but neither OF these were
seriously hurt. The baby receiv-
ing only a small scalp wound.
The doctor had stopped at a
house neal the new Catholic church
and was Just preparing to drive on
when the horses made sudd, n
lunge forward and ran. Before
the doctor could get them under
control the front wheel OF the
vehicle struck the corner ot the
church and threw the riders against
the rough and unfinished wall.
There were several persons in
tn, n,ighborhood and soon a large
crowd gathered around the scene
IT the accident, II was found that
neither OF the children were hur,
but a cot had to be procured on
which the doctor was carried home
by Mr.. Parchman and Hurley.
DR.. Ferguson soon arrived and
accompanied the wounded man
home.
On reaching the home an exami-
nation proved that he had received
two broken ribs, several cuts abou,
the head and face in addition N
internal injuries, the extent OF
which is still unknown. The doc.
tors condition is very critical.
The accident is the result OF the
blowing OF a piece OF paper across
the street at which the horses took
fright and ran. Neither OF the
horses were wild but the paper
was large, il is said, and enough
TO irighten the gentlest OF horses,
This is another OF the evils OF al

the streets instead OF disposing o.
