Midsummer Love
BY Beatrice Fairfax

l wonder how many captains will
bring their little ships safely home to
port these midsummer days.
Girls may pass the winter season
without sweethearts and beaux, but
very few girls go through the sum-
mer without at least one sentimental
episode.
It's sort OF midsummer madness
which gets in the blood.
Many of you my girls, will fall in
love this summer.
With some it will be the great and
abiding love of our lives; with 9TH
ers 1t will be but passing infatua-
tion-but with all it will be real
enough. while it lasts. And, jim eth
er case, it should be looked upon Sc
riously.
If it is real love. may God bless
YOU and help you to steer your boat
of happiness into a safe harbor.
Avoid This Danger. Girls.
If it is imitation love, may God
grant you sense to distinguish be-
tween the false and the true, and to
avoid the worst fate that can befall
any girl---a loveless marriage.
\ moonlit summer evening puts a
great glamour on commonplace
things 1t can glorify filtration into
very good imitation of real love.
Try to keep your wits, girls, even
when your hearts are pounding mad
ly and the whole moonlit world is
singing of love.
Ask yourself If what you feel is
love, or some mere physical attrac-
ton, which quickly wears off.
When you fall in love, you want it
to be the love of your life, for you
know, dears, this falling in love is a
strange, perplexing sort of joy, as
troublous as it is sweet.
There are doubts and fears, as well
as joys. -.
once heard woman say:
Thank goodness, l am married to
John; I love him devotedly, and hope
to all my life; but 1 could not stand
falling in love with him over again.
II nearly killed me-"
Despair as Well as Bliss.
Weren't you happy?" I asked, in
surprise.
Eyes, of course, I was; but 1 was
also miserable. One day in the
height of bliss. the next in the depths
of despair-now l am in a heaven of
peace. l love him and he loves me-;
all we have to do is to hold each 9TH
| er's love"
| During the summer time girl
, meets many strange men. She goes
away on visits or a vacation. She is
| among strangers and compelled to
Judge these men friends by herself
that is, without tbs guidance of her
mothers opinion.
There is one infallible rule to fol-
| low, girls, and that is: The instant
a man gives you the slightest reason
| to doubt his honor and sincerity have
nothing to do with him.
Remember, also that men, as well
as girls, suffer from midsummer
madness. A man may lose his head
over a pretty girl and pay her many
attentions, but it does not always
mean that he wants to marry her.
1t Is Not Always Love.
| So don't rush to the conclusion that
| because your heart beats quickly
when a certain man looks at you, you
are in love with him.
Summer is summer and youth is
young, and both are sweet but to-
gether they sometimes make a sad
pother of things.
So once more. little friends, if you
are drifting into that sweetest of
ports, keep your eyes open and be
sure that the steady beacon of true
love lights you on your way.-Fort
Worth Citizen-Star.

From A Rifle Lodged In A
Boys Hand

Carl, the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. p. Bailey, residing at Utica,
Ohio, was accidentally shot while
hunting just south of this city on Sat
urday afternoon. He was hunting in
company with number of other
boys and was sitting on the top Of a
fence with the muzzle of his S2-cal-
ibre rifle against the palm of his
left hand. In some manner, the rifle
was discharged, but fortunately the
boy had partially removed his hand
from the muzzle of the gun and the
bullet did not pass entirely through

Clark had placed a large amount Of
feed in the barn for his horse and had
released the chickens from the. coop

of the fact that the man had arranged
all details of the suicide and in his
kind-hearted way had seen to IL that

SUCCESS
Assured OF Extension School
In Agriculture
And Domestic Science AT
CGntcrburg Next Week

Every indication points toward sue.
cess for the Extension School in Agri.
culture and Domestic Science which
will be held in Centerburg next week,
Nov. 2S to Dec. 2.
Reports from other places in the
state show that the schools are bet
ter attended, and in all respects are
more successful than those held last
year.
Railroad accommodations are such
that persons living in or near the
neighboring towns may go back and
forth on the trains, thereby saving the
cost of room and most of their board.
The sessions will be from $3.50 to
1880 and 1890 to $3.50 with no night
sessions.
For the benefit of those who wish
to stay in Centerburg arrangements
have been made with private families
to furnish either room or room and
breakfast at a very reasonable cost
which with the tuition of 81 for the
agricultural course and so cents for
the home making and domestic sci
ence course, makes very small
amount for the good that one would
derive from the weeks course.
A small door fee will be charged
those who can not attend the full
course. All that is required is that
the committees meet the local ex-
pense of the instructors. All over and
above that will be divided pro rata
among those taking the course.
About 20 applications have been
signed for the two courses and it is
expected to reach over 100 by the time
the school opens.
Come, no matter how old you are;
bring your families; tell your neigh
bors and friends and help advance
the interest of agriculture in Knox
county.

BURNS
OF A Painful Nature Sustain.
ed By Geo Lang
In A Gas Explosion Near
MartlnSburg

George Lang, a gas driller, employed
tinsburg, met with serious accident
while at work on Sunday afternoon.
Lang, in company with a number OF
other workmen, had completed some
necessary arrangements at one well
and began operations on another
which was frozen up. In some man.
access to a pipe leading from the well
and had frozen to such an extent that
the gas could not pass through. A FIRE
was kindled under the pipe in order to
thaw the ice and was allowed to burn
for some time. When the men thought
that 1t was about time for the ice to
begin to thaw, Lang investigated and
had just reached the pipe when 1t sud-
denly burst as 1t was not strong
enough when heated to hold the great
pressure of gas, which had ignited
when it came in contact with the fire.
The flames struck Lang about the face
and shoulders, burning him very bad
ly. The derrick soon caught fire at
the bottom and regardless of the fact
that he had been burned, the man be-
gan the work of extinguishing the
flames at the bottom of the derrick In
doing this, he sustained even worse
burns about both hands and wrists.
The fire was finally extinguished and
the injured man was taken to the
home of Mr.. William Berger at Mar
tinsburg, where DR., w. e. Shrontz
was called in attendance. Lang rest
ed very well during Sunday night, but
on Monday evening, the burns were
found to be even worse than expected,
both arms being burned to the elbows
and his face and neck blistered in a
terrific manner. 1t is not thought that
fatal results will follow.

DESPONDENT
Over Ill.Hpalth Edward Clark
Ends His Life.
With A Shot. Gun On Sunday
Morn Dg
Evidence Shows He Planned
The Suicide
Accomplished The Deed Alone
In His Home
Body Was Discovered AT
Noon On Sunday

Despondent on account of III health,
Edward Charles Clark, aged SO years,
single, ended his life Sunday morning
at his farm residence in Pleasant
township, near Bedel chapel. The un-
fortunate man first used a razor in an
attempt to slash his wrist in hope
of ending his life, but failing in this
he used a shot gun and blew away a
portion of the left side of his face and
neck. Death was instantaneous.
A year or more ago Mr.. Clark,
whose home was in Mt. Vernon, took
up his residence on the little farm in
Pleasant township and gave his en-
tire attention to farming. About a
month ago his health commenced to
fail and it developed that he was suf-
fering from kidney trouble. He was
quite despondent at times and seemed
to brood over his physical condition
which no doubt prompted him to end
his life.
About IL o'clock, noon, Sunday,
John King and number of compan-
ions from this/city were soaring up
rabbits in the vicinity of Mr.. Clark's
home. One of the rabbits went into
hole and Mr.. King went over to the
Clark home to secure pick to dig
the rabbit out Of the hole. Mr.. King
knocked at the kitchen door, but re-
ceiving no response and being an in
innate friend of Mr.. Clark entered the
house through the kitchen. All the
doors were unlocked. Entering the
bed room he was Mortified to see
Clark lying on the bed with his head
in a large pool of blood. King fled
from the house and summoned his
two companions The three men then
entered the building and finding that
the man was dead went to the home of
William Morrison where they tele-
phoned to Mr.. Edward G. Fleming,
brother-in-law of the deceased, inform
ing him of Clark's death.
Chappelear's ambulance and Coron-
er Neass fastened to the scene and
an investigation was made by the cor
oner. 1t was discovered that Clark
had first used a razor and had made
a slash across his left wrist, but fail
ing in this way to end his life, he plac-
ed shot gun at the foot of his bed
and to the trigger he attached shoe
string. He then removed his shoes
and stockings and tying the other end
of the shoe string to his great toe, he
placed the muzzle of the gun under his
chin a little to the left side and by
giving jerk with his foot the shotgun
was discharged with such force that a
portion of his neck and the left side of
his face were blown away. Coroner
Neass stated that death resulted in
stantly as it is evident Clark never
moved muscle after pulling the trig-
ger of the gun.
The unfortunate man had carefully
planned for the suicide and 1t is evil
dent that it had been in his mind for
some time. He left note in which
he made disposition of his property
