Death Of a Little dirl.


Sunday, about 6:3O o'clock p. m.,
death suddenly took from the fam
lily circle Dorothy. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. w. f. Petrie of Linton.
Although the little girls name was
Dorothy. and she was so known at
school. at home she was called
Bessie. y Wednesday of last week
she was taken slightly i'll. but it was
not until Sunday that her sickness
showed symptoms of being of serl-
Gus nature. Sunday afternoon she
grew suddenly worse, and. although
she seemed to be without much pain,
she passed away that evening. The
disease is supposed to have been
typhoid fever, which caused perfora-
ltion Of the intestines. Dorothy was
ten years old the 23d of last June.
She was lovable child and was very
popular with her schoolmates. The
funeral took place Monday afternoon
at the residence of the family in
West Linton. and was largely at
tended.
The Rev. Maddox delivered the in
vocation and the sermon was
preached by the Rev. N. Wood. The
interment was made in Linton ceme-
terry. BY the deathof little Dorothy
a family circle is broken for the first
time. and three brothers and four
sisters are left to mourn her loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Petrle and family have
the deep sympathy of every one in
| the loss of their child.

How John RtgeWy Game 10 Go lack 10 L After ThrN Yeas.
wv. R. Rose in Cleveland Plain Dealer)

A moment later the throb OF the
motor arose on the still air. As the
speed increased the craft tugged at
its mooring. Ridgeway threw on the
retaining clutch, the aeroplane slid
forward and slowly arose.
He drew a quick breath This was
fine. It gave him the old thrill OF
power, His pulses stirred, a new
light came into his eyes.
He floated across the little valley,
gradually rising, and cleared the
woods on the ridge beyond by 200
feet Then he tried the steering gear
and swerved to the right, 1t was
done a little too suddenly. He would
be more careful next time He brought
the craft around in a wide arc, pass
ing over the woods on the south
hill, and over the POND above the
mill, and back toward the village
the village where Crandall lived.
He wondered how Crandal's moth
err was.
Now that he had tested his control
Of the aeroplane he grew bolder He
was man who had taken risks all
through life. He took a new risk
now. He arose higher and yet higher.
He had felt no fear, only a little anX-
iety. He was sensitive in a way. He
never wanted TO undertake a task
that he didn't carry through with
credit to his skill He only took
risks when he felt sure of the final
outcome.
A tiny clock hung to a support in
front Of him. He had glanced at it as
he took his seat. 1t was then 6.23. As
he lifted the aeroplane he glanced al
It again. 1t indicated 6,27 He laughed,
Only four minutes,
What would Crandall think Of this
wild venture? What would the grave
and reverend doctors with whom he
occasionally met think Of it? What
would Jim Maddox, his rival in the
! street, think of It?
He arose a little higher
He would make another circle.
AS he changed directions a pun Of
wind struck him and the planes sud
denly canted. With an involuntary
movement he threw the steering whee
over. There was a sharp cracking
sound and the left plane seemed t
crumple up. John Ridgeway wa
thrown from his seat, but clutched a
a metal bar. Then the great plane
collapsed over him.

There are thousands OF cases where
the proof is absolutely undeniable.

urged me to try Postum. I made the
trial and the result was so satisfac-

The mother hesitated.

The mother hesitated.
See the man, john dear, and af-
terwayd we will talk about your go
ing"
Then the boy noticed that his
mothers eyes seemed to bother her
and that she bent close TO her sewing,
He saw the man at the hote carly
the next morning and suited his criti-
cal taste
Can ! go, mother?'
Are you so anxious to go, dear?'
YES mother. It's a splendid
chance"
The mother sighed.
"You will come home soon, dear?"
And write often?"
Eyes, yes"
Her eyes were botbering her again,
but the boy scarcely noticed this-he
was so filled with delight.
But he did feel a little subdued
when the hour of parting came. He
couldn't quite understand why his
mother felt so bad about It and why
she chung to him in such teary
way. No doubt she was worried be-
cause she feared he couldn't take care
Of himself. But he would show her.
"Goodby, mother"
"Goodby, dear SON"
She was standing in the doorway as
he went down the road with his lit

He didn't go back. Instead he
knocked about tho streets doing odd

THREATS OF ROADS
TO STOP WORK
Improvements to the Amount of Two Hundred Mil.
lions Called Off Because of Injunction

Little Rock, Ark.-Two hundred
million dollars of construction work,
which had been planned by railroads
throughout the United States, will
be abandoned and no further new
work will be undertaken because of
the injunction of the United States
government against the increase liz
rates made, according to NJ, NJ. Rich
ey. general superintendent of the
Iron Mountain railroad, with officers
here.
The government Is controlling the
railroads in every way except paying
the operating expenses, Mr.. Richey
says, and 1t practically amounts to
government ownership.
A number OF railroads are prepar-
ing to cancel contracts for eonstruc-
ton work, says Mr., Richey. THE
New York Central has already can
celled or held up contracts for work
amounting to about 100000"
The injunction is the result OF
rotten politics." Mr.. Richey believes,
and he says that II congress had ad-
journed o month ago the railroad
would have been much better off.
