an experience the other day that is

grey. In moving a kitchen cupboard
full of dishes, it started to fall and
was going toward the baby playing
on the floor. Mr.. Kent was unable
to avoid the fall, but by throwing mis-

| he succeeded in making it fall free
of the child by few inches. Prac-

the baby was saved and the household
was happy.
In letter to friends here, John

tells of delightful drive which he
and his family made this summer
They took their time and covered 200
miles with horse and surry. Among
other things he says: Tuesday morn
ing father and mother (Ad) Wright
came over to Santa Ann and spent
the day while We were there. While
waiting for the car in the evening
along came George Howard to take
the same car for Los Angeles. / ran
across Rev. Frederick Palmer in
Santa Ann. He was there to try for
a church and | think he may get the
appointment, as he made a good i'm
preston. At Los Angeles we met
Fred Esgen and family at the depot.
Their children were taking the train
for Oskaloosa. Lily Tice was at
Mother Wright's last Sunday. Cora
