HOUSE BLOWN IL MILES.
Was Being Moved on Lake Champlain
When Wind Caught 1t.

Westport, N. Y, March 20.-1eo-'
pie living along the shore Of Lake
Champlain were astonished yesterday
to see house running away across
the ice.
The owner of Willsboro Point, q
peninsular opposite Burlington, wish
ed to move a house to a site about
half a mile further along the point.
To move it over the land meant the
destruction of many shade trees. To
disengage it from the foundation and
push it down on the icy surface of
the lake and slide it along to its
new position was much easier.
This was accordingly done, but
while the workmen were arranging
the skids to push the house back on
land a great gust of wind struck the
house and it started at a lively gait
up the lake.
It took a southeasterly course for
the Vermont shore, and was soon
travelling at q 40 mile clip over the
frozen surface Of the lake. The
sight of this forty foot two story
building as it twisted, tumbled, twir-
led and turned over cracks and bro,
ken ice terrified the fish hut colony.
which lay directly in the path Of the
runaway.
The house finally banged diagon-
ally OF. :. ridge of ice and came to,
a standstill after q twelve mile
run, almost to Split Rock, without
any damage except to one side and
part Of the piazza.
When the wind subsided q team OF
horses towed the building back to Its
site, where it was securely tetheSd
to trees. ~

CHILD RUN OVER.
Little Daughter of MIR. HI. G. Delk
Painfully Injured.

Last Saturday afternoon Lillian
Eloise, the little three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Delk,
was knocked down and run over by
a horse hitched to a road cart and
painfully injured. The accident oc-
Cured on lower Main street, near
the home of the grandparents of the
little one. The little child was cross
ing the street which was somewhat
crowded at the time, and as the cart
was just behind an automobile neith-
er the child nor the driver of the cart
saw each other in time to prevent the
accident. There was bruised place
on the side of the head and a mark
on the back of the head showing
where the wheel had gone.
For while the little one was un-
conscious, but fortunately her in
juries proved to be not so serious as
was feared at first, and she is now
getting along nicely. The cart was
driven by a Mr.. Rutledge from over
in Orangeburg county, and no blame
attaches to him for the accident. AS
soon as it happened he picked the
child up and carried her into the
Office Of G. Frank Bamberg and med
ical aid was summoned. Later the
child was removed to the home OF
her grand parents next door, where
she remained until Tuesday night,
when she had recovered sufficiently
to be carried home. The accident
appears to be one of the unavoidable
happenings, resulting from narrow
crowded street, and it is indeed for
tunate that the results are no worse.
Let the incident serve as warning
to all to drive slowly and carefully
on Main street Saturday afternoons
when the street is crowded, as well
as at all other times. The street
is too narrow for fast driving or the
rapid running of automobiles.

Mrs. H. F. Bamberg Entertains.

That the church of to-day does not
provide for any feature which ap-
peals to the social nature Of her peo-=
pie, was delightfully."- contradicted
Tuesday afternoon when the Wo-.
mans Home Mission Society Of the
Methodist church met with Mrs.
Henry F. Bamberg.
About 40 guests were present at
the hospitable home Of Mrs. Bam-
berg, and many took part in the
short program of the afternoon which
had been arranged by the president,
Mrs. E. o. Kirsch. This was the time
for the regular monthly meeting Of
the society. Papers bearing on home
mission work, scripture reading ap-
propriate to the occasion, sacred
hymns fitting in with the spirit OF
missions, and several instrumental
solos, constituted the spiritual side OF
the program. One of the most In
teresting features of this program
was that of the distribution of cards
with questions relative to the I'M
provement of the society here at
home. The answers were decidedly
interesting and helpful, some OF
them proving suggestive Of lines OF
operation for the uplifting Of the
work.
The social side of the occasion
was q pleasure and a fitting part OF
the afternoons enjoyment. The so
cial and the spiritual blended with
utmost harmony and neither over
shadowed the other to such an ex-
tent as to lessen the helpfulness Of
the day. Mrs. Bamberg was assisted
Mrs. C. R. Brabham, ST., Mrs. Jones
A. Williams and Mrs. J. A. Wyman
in receiving the guests. Mrs. M. w.
Brabham assisted in many ways. but
especially in helping with the re-
freshments. Misses Mildred Knight,
Harrie Dele Free, Vista and Evelyn
Brabham served the guests. The
course of refreshments was exceed
ingly palatable, consisting Of salads
and sweets.
At the close of the afternoons
pleasure, the society by rising vote
of thanks, evidenced small portion
of their appreciation to Mrs. Bam-
berg for the
occasion of delights and joys"
which she had afforded them. With
the singing of "Blest be the tie that
binds" the members dispersed.
carrying with them happy feeling
of spiritual up-lift and social enjoy
ment.

Home Mission Study Glass.

chosen leader. With her guidance
and leadership, the members feel
sure their meetings will be helpful
and interesting. "Under Our Flag

it embraces many important phases
of home mission work. All who are
interested in home missions will do
well to join this class. All work

no sin unless knowledge has been
neglected.

Town Election.

1t will soon be time for the elec-
ton of mayor and six aldermen to
serve the town for the next two
years, and our people should be
thinking about material for these Of
fees. We have the impression that
the present mayor nor none of the
aldermen will offer for reelection,
and it's getting time that some
thought was being given to this mat
ter by our citizens. The annual in
come Of the town is now something
like $4,000 and the expenditure of
this money should be in the hands
of capable business men. The pres
ent council have been badly handi-
capped during their term of office be-
cause of the loss of revenue from the
dispensary and increased expenses
which could not be avoided, but they
have handled the situation well, and
the finances of the town are in
healthy condition.
