An unpublished adventure" OF H.

recently been made known by an eye
witness. vice-Chancellor W. H. Car
ruth of Kansas University, who spent
his vacation in a-camp adjoining that
Of the Lees. 1t seems that the Car
ruths were being driven home one
dark night by Mr.. Lee in his big
automobile. As the machine rounded
turn where the narrow road had
b sen blasted out Of a steep mountain
side. some hundred feet above the
river, II struck a stray horse. The
animal was thrown right up on the
hood OF the auto. where II soon
died. Had the horse fallen under the
wheels It would have meant sudden
death to the members Of the party. az
the auto would have skidded over the
preciplee. The occupants pulled the
horses carcass off the machine and
then completed the journey. The auto
was somewhat damaged.
Nov the sequel; It was found the
next day that the horse belonged to
camper MP IN the woods. Under the
Colorado law the camper was liable
to Mr Lee for damages to the auto.
The horse had no business on the
highway under such Circumstances.

The mayor of HeringtOn will n d

IT happened the othe. day. II
seems that Mayor Murray is dealing
in crude oil in Heringtin since the de-
mand for this kind of fuel has been
prevalent in the city. a car had ar
rived over the Rock Island and the
mayor accompanied by his son Edgar
went down to the yards to make a
personal inspection Of the unloading
of this tank car.
After the laborers had been pump
ing the heavy oil out OF the tank for
several hours Mayor Murray figured
that practically all Of the oil had been
removed from the car and mounting
to the dome he peeped into tie black
depths.
No oil could be seen. Striking a
match the city's chief executive
stuck It into the opening at the Top
Of the car and with II he attempted
to place bis head and shoulders
A terrific explosion followed. The
gas from the oil iguited from the
match. Mayor Murray was thrown
from the top Of the car to the ground
and his son who stood near him was
thrown to the bed Of the tank. The
mayor was burned badly about the
arms and shoulders and was bruised
,asionsly. Edgar Murray was
bruised about the head and body but

In short time the Reflector will

until the clerks go over the lists and
check up the numbers with the
names. The county fair officials have
been requested to devise some means
whereby the onlookers can ascertain

Ancient Skatea.

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air, but the origin of skating Is far more an- cient.

Similar skates have be en found at Moorhelds in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree. These and similar discoveries, we learn, enable the authorities to con clude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary.-London Globe.

A Horses Too Mails.

Few persons realize that horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani- mals having toes. The horn of hoof grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses thar in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel For in. stance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to MT.
