Pure Negligence.

Thursday evening after supper
we took a walk and the unearthly
clank, jam and screechipg racket
of the wind mill at the intersection
of Maine, Vine and Dover streets
attracted our attention to such ex-
tent that we walked down there to
see what the trouble was.
We found the mill shut off, but
the big wind wheel" Stats pound
ing the tower as they passed by
and raising pandimonium to such
extent that it was a nuisance to
every one living within two blocks
of the mill.
What was the trouble? Pure neg
ligence that means heavy eX-
pense. The boxing was so badly
worn that the large wind wheel
was at least one foot out of plumb
and the Stats at the bottom were
striking the tower

Hard Bump.

Master John, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Madden, has been up against
a hard and losing proposition.
He and playmate had a cross
cut saw and were trying to use it.
The boy jerked the saw and Johns
end flew up good and hard against
his mouth and knocked out two
teeth and broke several more. The
bruise was so great that it caused
his face to look like it had been in
a bee hive.

In Well.

When a big horse gets on the
platform of a well, all is not well
for as a general thing something is
doing.
Any way when one of the big
horses of the Mcfarland mill got
onto the platform of the well he
found out that it was not well built
and would not hold him for he
went ker chug into the well and
was pretty well skinned up.

The wind freshened and tore that
wheel to pieces, all because it had
been neglected for two or four
months, and the boxing was worn
out instead of being replaced and
the mill is badly damaged. A
