Boat.

She had just graduated from the
high school and Harold, who had
fallen before her charms, not the
least of which to him was her in
terest in mechanics, was laying con-
slant siege. As soon as his new mo-
tor boat was launched he forthwith
invited Phyllis for a trial spin down
the Potomac. As she sat beside him,
launtily clad in a brand new yacht
ing suit, she turned upon the swain
rapid-fre battery of questions, ask
ing him everything imaginable about
The boat and filling him with fond
JOY. AT length her eye lit upon
circular life buoy fastened to the
rail that ran around the stern.
"What's that for, Harold?" she
asked after gazing awhile in deep
study.
"Thats in case Of accident" re-
pied Harold.
For long time the maiden pom
dered in deep thought. Then her
face lit up with a satisfied intelli-
gence.

taken before the local justice of the

Floyd Helmick, who attempted

injured the boy, is now, after q

Yesterday evening, shortly be-

old daughter of Mr.. Corbin, q
painter, whose home is at Carr's
Crossing, about two miles from
Jenningston, was sent to the
epring, some three hundred yards
from the house, by her mother to

"Fet the setting of our story We

hung from the Sehdius boughs like
gems sparkling in the sunshine; ;
where the lawn rested peacefully
and the lion reclined In boaers Of
roses; where the hills were festooDed
In beauty and ten thousand billowy
tendri's of tangled loveliuess waved
In the glorious sunshine of an uu-
ceasing springtime. 1t was here
dwelt Adam and Eve. 1t was here
that Sa.au first tempted man and
SIN entered the world. You re-
member how Satan came TO Eve
and tempted her To eat of the for.
hidden fruit. He told her we shall
be like gods, and Eve, because she
desired to be like god, dill eat.
Men and women have always de-

sh ocking double tragedy occurred
last evening at 5;45 o'clock, when
John Mcdonald and James Clark,
two we'll known local glass work
ere, were ground to death beneath
the wheels of OHIO River tram
No. 702. There were no eye wit

testimony of persons who saw the
two men just a few seconds before
they had started to cross the track
at point on Water street about
midway between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth streets.
Train No. 702 was going east
and passed a train going west
near the scene of the tragedy.
Feeling a slight shock, Engineer
]. s. Miller looked out and saw
what appeared to be the form of a
man lying at the side of the track.
He brought the train to a stop
and a short search revealed to the
eyes of the horrifed trainmen
two mangled human bodies.

STEEL PLANT TO
RESUME OPERATIONS
In Near Future is What
the CatIeifsburg Tribune
Man Hears.

There is what seems to be a
well founded rumor to the effect
that operations are to be resumed
at the plant of the Independent
Steel Company at Kenova, right
away, one report stating that on
Wednesday next, the works will
be operated. We are unable to
have the rumor confirmed, but it
seems to be we'll founded, and it
is TO he hoped that it is correct.
There are number of the
former employees of the concern
who have been practically idle for
some time, awaiting the resump-
tion of operations and should it
be true that the works are to 90 as
above stated, it will certainly be a
most welcome affair to these men,
some of them having families to
maintain. -Catlettsburg Tribune,
