years and formerly employed at the
Columbia mine east of the city, who
was run down and killed by train
mo. So last evening, will not be bur-
led until tomorrow. He was in
destitute circumstances and his
friends were under the impression
that the Baltimore G Ohio railroad
company had to bury him. Learning
their mistake they set out this af-
ternoon to make arrangements fol
the burial OF the body.
The man accompanied by his wife
and Steve zawro were at the east end
OF the cut near the tin plate mill
when a freight train from Grasselli
was coming in on the sidetrack.
Brakeman West Hart knowing No.
I55 was due from the East warned
them but they did not have time to
get to a safe point and the pilot of
the train struck Mike. The space
between the two tracks being mar
row. it is almost miraculous that the
woman and zawro were not also hit
by the train.
The right side of the mans face
was crushed in, his. left arm was
broken and also both legs were
broken below the knee. The freight
crew brought the body TO the rail-

ABOUT FEES
Circuit Clerks Are Not Re
quired to Collect Them in
Advance Says Conley.

"A dispatch from Charleston states
that Attorney General Conley has
construed the recent statute fixing
the salaries of county officers to
mean that the circuit clerk is not
required to collect fees in advance.
The practice of Circuit Clerk Shriyer
since the statute went into opera
ton mas been to require deposit
covering all fees in Connection with
his office. The Charleston Dispatch
says:
That the new couney officers, sal
airy law, adopted by the special ses-
sion of the legislature in 1908 docs
not require clerks of the circuit court
to collect all fees in advance is the
opinion rendered by the attorney
generals department. An opinion
has just been written on the ques-
ton by Assistant Attorney d. E.
Matthews and will be given out in a
few days.
Chapter Is of the Acts of 1908
prescribes the duties and fixes the
compensation of county officers, pro
ividing for a system of bookkeeping
and requiring certain reports to be
made to the county court and state
tax commissioner. The law states
My the county clerk in advance
This clause has been construed by
some to include the clerks of the
circuit courts also and in some in
stances the circ,rt clerks were re-
quiring all fees to be paid in adj
vance. The opinion from the attor-
ney generals Office states that this is
not necessary.

Jennette was very glad that her

First she phoned for the family doc

and tell her.
When the doctor arrived at Jen'

father was i'm a physical breakdown:
he had worked too hard. and now he
was not having proper nourishment.
SO Jenhette told the doctor to send
from the grocery all that Sarahs folks
would need and to send the bill to her.
After the doctors first visit the man
began to grow a little better, but he
was beyond help.
Soon Sarah and her mother and the

When the little girls started
from school that afternoon Sarali

with me and see my baby sister
When they reached the house
Jennette's heart melted with
pity-Sarah's father looked SO
pale and thin. The baby sister
was playing on the floor with a
few broken toys, but she locke |
up in Jennette's face with such a
happy smile that Jennctte took
her up in her arms and petted
her.
One thing the little girl noticed
-Sarah's mother sang little
snatches of song and wore q
sweet smile in spite of the great
trouble she was in.
When Jennette reached home
she ran to her father and told
him how sorry she was for
Sarah's family.
Her father said: Daughter,
would you like to help them

IENNETTE commenced to plan lots
of nice things to make the poor
family happy. She was so happy
in planning the happiness for others
that she did not think about herself
at all. The first thing she did was
to invite Sarah to come and see her.
The better she got acquainted with
Sarah the more she grew to love her.
She could see that, Sarah while so
much poorer. than she, was much
happier
Jennette had a lovely flower garden,
so she gave Sarah all the plants she
wanted. And she found some of her
dresses that she did not need, which
could be made over for Sarah. She
took nice things TO eat to the sick
father and some of her toys to the
baby sister.
There was great change in Jennette.
She looked so bright and happy all the
time that her friends did not know
what 10 make of it. They stopped
calling her plain Jane, and said Happy

she had so much to be thankful for
that she never thought about being
plain again.
She grew to be a very happy and
