ELECTRIC GAR AND TEAM COLLIDE.
Horse Surprised the Crowd by Getting Up Almost Un- hurt After Being Drawn ftom Under Car-No ne Injured.

An accident in which it was feared woman and a horse had lost their lives occurred in West Main street in front of the John Stanton place soon after 9.15 o'clock Sunday evening. The investigation showed that it was far from as serious as reported, as the woman was found sitting on a nearby wall, while the horse got up and pranced about as soon as released No one was injured, but a wagon was Shed.

Writer of Fairy Stories.

Let us admit, if we can do so with out ruffiing the feathers of the Ameri- can eagle, that there are some things other nations do better than we. France, for instance, has a childlike heart, along with the more mature qualities which make for the ascen- dency of that country in thrift in science and in many fields where hard heads count for so much. And in this youthfulness. this simplicity, 1t is very fond of the fairy tale
 Here we are growing so practical, SO sordid. so unima ginative, save in our big business transactions, which some times take away the breath in their utopian sweep and irnm ensity. that we look upon the fairy story not only as a useless waste of time but even worse. It makes children dreamers, when they should be focusing their minds on money And so the army of Gradgrinds grows all the time and fights the poor little remnant of ina g. ination left us as bitterly as if it were a terrible foe.
 But in France there is a vast army of readers of fairy stories and ad- mirers of those who write them and only the other day All Paris"-thst is to say, it's wealth, it's art. it's society. along with the basic everyday people turned out to pay tribute to Hvoma n whose only claim to recognition was authorship of charming fairy tales for real children and the grownups who still have youth in their souls Cleveland Leader

inland SeaIeries,

If the government carries the day with it's inland seal breeding plans, ev- cry other farmer will be able to pres ent his daughter with a sealskin sack grown on the place. The prospect of a war between the United States and Japan over illegal Boring sea seal cries will be so remote as to to be is a mighty cute one, is to have the great lakes of New York and other states turned into propagating places for seals.
 The trade in seaIskins in the Prib- ilof islands has amounted to more than s50,000, ,000 since the American government undertook the preserva- tion of the industry. The hunting privilege alone has netted the govern ment s9,00O.000, which is $2,000, 900 more than the United States paid for the islands when purchased from Rus sia These figures are full of meat; they indicate one of the most pro- life sources of future revenue fmag agf- nable. A seal orphan asylum is to be established upon the far islands that these barren spots may become nurser- ies for the little seals whose mothers have been killed. Experiments all ready made show that seal culture is practicable.
 Soon. it is expected, fur-seaI breed ing will be conducted on a great scale in the larger lakes of the northern states. The seal farmer will become one of the opulent factors of the coun- try. Two hand-raised pups at the pu- reau of fisheries in Washington dem onstrate the practicality of breeding seals even when the mother seal is not at hand to nurture the young. Dis pensing with such maternal services greatly lessens the diffcultfes of the task so that the rearing of young seals after awhile will be no more difficult than raising young chickens. The ex- tinction of the seal will be permanent

 The big paper machine is in posi- tion, ready for final adjustment. Speaking of this machine, Horatio Bigelow of the company said that it was understood to be the largest ma chine in the business in the world. and was certainly the largest ever made by the company which turned it out. The machine occupies the en- tire space of one side of the upper story of the main building. On the machine are 62 large rollers, an es- timate of the total weight being i'm possible to obtain for few days.

 The horse was thrown as 1t was struck by the car and falling on its side the car pushed it along for a short distance. smashing the wagon. and when the car stopped the wheel had run upon the back of the horse and its head was under a running board. The three persons were thrown off the seat and as there was no sign of the woman when the car crew first looked it was thought she was under the car. It was later found that she had picked herself up and was sitting on the wall watching the operations. She could not talk English and for a time it was impossible to learn from her whether she was the woman.
 The wrecking car of the Connecticut company was sent to the scene as soon as possible and after lacking up the car and pulling the horse from under the car, the animal got upon his feet and walked around as If nothing had happened. It was turned out into a lot nearby for the night The horse, upon being looked over. had but two scratches and did not limp. The ac cident happened at the spot where a man who was lying across the track was killed a few years ago.
