at work the past week in the manu-

Monday evening, while Mrs. Roy
Yeater was driving team from the
depot up toward town, the horses
became frightened at an automobile
which came up behind the rig, and
started up through town at break
neck speed, turning the corner at
the Merriok lumber-ya and con-
tnuing northward toward the school
house. Mrs. Yeater could not con-
troll the terrified animals, and, in
making the corner at the school
house, the spring wagon was over
tuned, throwing the driver violently
to the ground. The horses then
broke loose from the rig and con-
tinued there maddening race. For
tunately, Mrs. Yeater was not seri-
ously injured by her fall, and. aside
from few bruises and being badly
shaken up, she escaped in a very
miraculous manner what might have
meant permanent injury or death.

An Old Timer,

Turtles are one of a few kinds of an
lmals that live longer than men do.
They look their age too. A turtle that
had a date mark OF him, though not
the date of his arrival in the world,
was found a few days ago in New
York, not far from Poughkeepsie, where
the boat races are held on the Hudson
river in the early summer. The turtle,
which was a land tortoise, was found
by David B. Sleight, who lives on the
farm where his father lived for many
years. On the turtles back, but in the
hard shell, Mr.. Sleight found his ia
theirs initials, A. w. S., and the date
1854, cut deeply and still plainly Wis
ible. He added his own initials and
the date and turned the little creature
loose to live perhaps until another gen.
Grafton of Sleights come along.

A Bathtub by the Sea.

A few miles below Delmar, CAL,
there may be seen in a rocky ledge a
peculiar basin cut out of solid rock.
1t measures 6 by 4 feet and its depth
is about five feet. At high tide the
basin is filed; at low, it and the sur
rounding rock ledge are laid bare.
Above the basin are cutters, which al
low the escape Of surplus waters. 1t
is supposed that the bath was used by
the Indians in early times and that
they heated the sea water by means
Of heated stones. 1t is not improbable
that the sick redskins obtained relief
from skin diseases and other ills by
baths in the hot salt water of this Pc
culiar basin.
1t is quite well made and shapely
and would have been very convenient
for such a purpose.

A Dolls Silver Set,

A set of silver for the dolls dress
ing table can be made from tinfoil, so
it is a good plan to save all the tinfoil
that comes around candy, etc, and
smooth it out nicely. You may make a
mirror for the dra wing room or the
dolls boudoir Of the tinfoil with a bor-
der of gold paper. Cut out a piece Of
cardboard in any shape you desire
and then cover it with tinfoil. The gilt
border should not be plain, but should
be cut into ornamental orner or used
to cover a raised frame of cardboard.
If you are going to use the mirror for
the dining room or library of the dolls
house make the mirror in the same
with a double cardboard frame
around the edge and cover this frame
with dark paper in the wood tones.

Hattie Enjoying
Her Daily Bath.
Photo by American Press Association.

1lOlO Wy AAlICI AN0AA =
Elephants, as most young people
know, are very fond Of bathing, and
in their native jungles frequently seek
the rivers and lakes to enjoy a water
frolic. Down at Coney Island the
pachyderms take a swim in the surf
and greatly enjoy buffeting the salt
pillows. When bathing at the beach
the huge beasts are accompanied by
trainers, who sit on their necks and
guide them from the water when their
time is up. This is necessary, for they
are show animals and must be in their
places when the performance begins.
If left to themselves they would prob
ably forget all about their engage
ments. The elephant in the picture IS
Hattie, the famous performing ele-
plant in the Central Park ZOO. The
photographer caught her as she was
getting her daily bath from a hose.
Her expression shows she is enjoying
it hugely.

IL Wasn't Fair.

Several years ago Sam Jones, the
Georgia evangelist, was at Emory
Grove camp and the newspaper re-
ports of his sermons caused him to
complain. At the last service he looked
down at the reporters, who sat at a
table just in front of the pulpit, and
said:
"And l want to tell you fellows that
l like you a lot in spite of your mani
fold faults. You boys don't treat me
right, though. You take my sermons
and pick out a piece here and there
and a piece somewhere else. Then you
string the pieces together, and natu-
rally they read funny.
"Now, suppose I reported the Bible
that way! A man asks nj what the
Bible tells him to do. l read in one
place, "And Judas went out and
hanged himself I turn eel and read,
Go thou and do likewise And in an
other place l find, And do it quickly
"Now, you see, boys, that sort OF
thing won't do. It amt fair"

CAPTAIN Kits Cruises.

NdpIAIU NV ~VOso0os
When Captain Kit Is telling yarns
To Tim and Ted and Polly
About the Crafty Christopher
And all its cruises jolly
His lively tales
OF chasing whales
In sunny southern seas,
Where dolphins play
Mid flying spray
And waves dance in the breeze,
Set all their little hearts on fire
To sail at once is their desire!
And Tim will be the captain.
And Ted will be the mate,
And Polly IL be the lookout
Who sits aloft In state.
But when he tells Of bowling winds
To Tim and Ted and Polly
And all the Crafty Ch~ristopher's
Adventures melancholy,
OF inky clouds,
And icy shrouds,
And waves that sweep the deck:
OF s%training ropes,
And failing hopes,
And rocks that wait to wreck,
Then all their little cheeks grow pale,
And they decide that when they sail
Tim will be the cabin boy,
And Ted will be the cook.
And Polly II be a passenger
Tucked In ONE sheltered nook.

Forgot q Detail.

An absentminded professor who
shall be nameless was reading about
a great feat Of engineering that
aroused his enthusiasm. Suddenly he
sprang from his chair and advanced
toward his wife. His ann betrayed
his excitement.
"Now, listen to me, wife," he said,
land I do not want you to oppose me
Do you hearY
Eyes, dear. What is it, then?'
"Now, no opposition, mind! l wish
the boy to be an engineer"
"But, my dear, what are you talking
about? We haven't any boy"
"Oh, yes, that is so. I had forgotten
that" said the professor as he re
sumed his seat in the rocking chair.

A Candid Friend.

Rev. Ulysses G.. B. Pierce, chaplain
Of the United States senate and Pres
ident Taft's pastor at a Washington
Unitarian church, told a group of SEN
ators a few days ago of a letter he
had received the previous morning
from a strong Methodist friend Of his.
The letter read:
"Dear Doctor-Yesterday morning
while on the way to services In my
own church I was overtaken by the
heavy rain we had. AS I did not
have an umbrella with me and was
neal your church, I went in, and for
the first time listened to one of your
sermons on the tenets Of the Unitarian
faith. Next Sunday I am going to
carry an umbrella ."-Saturday Even

Had Seen One.

An English comedian told Of appear
ing before a swell London audience at
the house Of a noble lord. The Ian
guor of his listeners made him feel
not too happy, and he vas glad to get
through and retire to the dressing
room allotted him. While he was re-
moving the grease paint a very young
peer who had strolled after him stood
watching the process. He told the
comedian in the most approved drawl
that some of his sayings had really
been rather funny, especially that
one, you know, where your wife made
a pancake on a gridiron and the pam
cake slipped through and put the ire
out. That made me laugh awfully,
because I know what a gridiron Is. I

What, Never?

There was a time when the vogue OF
"Pinafore'' was simply amazing. Here
is an ironical note from a newspaper
of the time: "At present there are for
ty-two companies playing 'Pinafore.'
Companies formed after 6 p. m. yester-
day are not included" Its catch
phrase, "What, never? Well, hardly
ever" was deadly. 1t is told, for in
stance, that one editor barred his staff
from using it. sit has occurred twen-
