Ed. HOwe'S Country Town Sayings.

The man who does not amount to
much himself, expects the most OF
others.
1t people were not so curious and
talk so much, they would find out
more; it is the fear that you would
tell that prevents you hearing many
things.
One of the commonest things
around a small town is 10 hear the
fellow who knows little or nothing
of his own business criticising the
efforts of the other fellow, and tell
ing him how to run his affairs.
We regret that all advice does not
have to be bought; then you could
get just what you wanted. So much
is now given to you without your
consent.
The girl chewing gum looks worse
than the boy chewing tobacco. That
is because we expect so much more
of the girls, and are more shocked

From the blossom Of health to the paleness Of

flash of the lightning "A break of the wave
Man passes from life To his rest In the grave.
Never was the truth of these beau
tiful lines by Knox more fully vcri-
fed than on last Saturday morning
June 10, 1911, when Claude Baker,
in the best of spirits, without a
thought of danger was snatched in-
to that great unknown.
He was talking to some friends
in the store at Powderly, in his
jovial way when he heard the car
of coal which had broken away,
coming at full speed he ran down
to the switch, and tried to drag a
large piece of timber in front of the
car to stop it, before it could do
any damage, but in some way he
stumbled and fell in front Of the
car aud both legs were cur of. He
was carried to the nearest house,
where all that willing hands and
medical skill could do, was done
for his relief. 1t was all in vain,
for he only lived a few hours. This
was one of the saddest accidents
that ever occurred in Powderly. 1t
cast a gloom over the town that
will never be fully cleared. \ place
is vacant that can never be filled.
MIR. Baker was a man of strong
personality; he won all by his sunny
disposition and cheerful manner.
He was ever ready with a smile and
joke to greet his many friends,
for to know him intimately was to
admire the noble characteristics that
made him the great man which he
was. He was a good business man
ager and for six years had held the
position cf general manager of the
GreenviIle Coal Company's store at
Powderly, though many times the
cares and responsibilities of his po-
sition must have been great, he new
er worried other people with his
troubles, though he had been a VIC
tim of bad health several months
prior to his untimely death, even
that failed to crush the beautiful
soul of the man, which strove to
keep above the petty worries of life.
A practical minded business man,
yet as kind and sympathetic as a
woman. His tears were shed freely
with those of his friends in trouble
he would do anything in his power
for their accommodation. Those
in needy circumstances were sure to
receive help from him. Though not
recipients of his charity, yet there
was something about the large
crowd of people which thronged in
the yard and house where he lay

evning caused a drummer to inquire
who was the owner of the car, and
one Of our young boosters told him
that the car was one of three owned
by one of our popular bank clerks.
This made quite an impression on
the travelling man, and so far as
known he got out of town without

Sentence Sermons.

The prayer of St. Francoise de
Chantal was: uThy will be done for
ever and ever, o Lord, without if or
butir
He who is never satisfied with
anything satishes no one.
There are few who would dare to
address God thus each night: "Lord,
deal with me tomorrow as | have this
day dealt with others.v
St. Chantal one day was excusing
herself to St. Francis de Sales for
having spoken harshly to some one,
on the plea that it was in the cause
of justice. The saint replied: vYou
have been more Just than righteous;
but we should be more righteous
than just"
A good woman once wrote thus:
vIn my own family | try to be as
little in the way as possible, and
never to believe for a moment that
any one means unkindly towards
me-"
Nothing is so sad as the cry: uI
am useless!"
Lay before me thy failures, saith
the Master, and | will show thee
the cause.
Approach the blessed sacrament,
o restless soul in search of peace,
and humbly kneeling there, pour
forth bravely, slowly, and with earn
est desire, the following prayer:
rFrom the desire of being sought,
From the desire of praise,
From the desire of preference,
From the desire of authority,
From the desire of approval,
Deliver me, jesus"

Problem Of Conduct. What Would iOu
Have Done?

Ice cream cones are spelling the
manners of some of our very best
young folks, but the craze of eating
these food delicacies on the streets
received a serious set back a few
days ago by one of our I've wire
boys showing the street-eaters just
how they looked. Falling in with a
bunch of girls, on the street one
evening, he proposed that they have
something cool to drink. The in
vi:ation was accepted, but the young
ladies decided that they would have
ice cream cones, which of course was
agreeable TO the young man, but at
the same time he professed to not
like cream, and so took nothing.
Walking along the street, and pass
ing the bake shop, he excused him
self moment, and when he emerg-
ed he was munching a good fat ham
sandwich. The girls at once pro-
tested, and declared that they would
not walk along with him, it he did
not stop taking his meal on the
street. 1t did not require but few
words from him to show the party
that they we're all in the same boat,
and none of the girls has been
seen devouring cones since.

FATAL ACCIDENT
Claude Baker Falls Under Load
ed Car at Powderly and Dies
in Two Hours From the
Injuries.

Muhlenberg's coal development,
which during the past year and a
half has taken such toll of human
life, added another last Saturday
morning, when Mr.. Claude H..
Baker, Of this city, received in
juries that in two hours resulted in
death. Mr.. Baker was one of the
stockholders and general store man
ager of the Greenville Coal Co. at
its Powderly mine. About 10
O'Clock a car loaded with coal was
being let down to the string of cars
on the switch. The brake on the
car became ineffective, and the man
who was on top jumped off, while
Mr.. Baker and others ran for the
car, with chocks to stop the car.
In some manner Baker, who was in
front of the car, tripped and fell,
and the car ran over both legs,
practically amputating at the knee
and MASKING legs and feet. He was
carried to a house near by, and
doctors were soon at his side, but
he lived only about two hours, re-
naming conscious until near the
end.
There was no man in Greenville
who had more friends; by his cheer
ful, happy manner he made friends
with all who met him, and the first
impressions were continually
strengthened. For some years he
has been a sufferer, but none ex-
cept his most intimate friends knew
of it, for his spirit of good cheer was
always in evidence.
He was in his SSth. year, and was
rea ching his period of greatest use
fulness. No death has occurred
here that brought deeper sorrow to
the city than has this. He was a
consistent member of the Methodist
church, and Rev. G.. p. Dillon, pas
tor, conducted a service at the
church at 4 O'Clock Sunday after
noon, the edifice being crowded to
overlooking; there were many visit
ing Elks from Madisonville, Central
City and other points, and a great
number of people were here from
Powderly.
