POWER OF THE PRESS
An Amusing Story illustrating How
News lie GarbIed

An Amusing Story illustrating How
News is CARRIED.
AS illustrating the power of the
press, Washington writer tells this
story:
Some time ago farmer put his
feet into a pair of old boots that he
had years ago cast aside. An OBJ
struction in the toe of one of them,
much to his delight, proved to be a
$50 bill. The village paper duly re-
corded the incident. and put it Oh the
wire for the city daily, adding to the
Importance of the item by multiply
ing the find by ten-making it $500
bill. The Associated Press CORE
spondent passed the news item on
to the papers of that organization,
and added another cipher making it
$4,000. This item was copied far and
wide, and eventually reached the old
farmers relatives in Germany, and in
due course he was the recipient OF
many letters of congratulation over
his facility in extracting $4,000 from
an old boot. Time passed, and one
day the old farmer picked up his fam
lily story paper to read, and there
he beheld recorded the fact that he
had found $4,000 in banknotes in an
old boot, where he had placed them
years before and had forgotten the
trifling incident Now, the fact of the
whole tsory was that, having found
a $50 note in an old boot, and taken
it to the bank, the cashier dubious
about its looks, forwarded it to the
subtreasury, whence it WAS soon re-
turned with the word "Counterfeit'
stamped upon it.
Repeating this story for the read
ers of the Catholic Columbian Record,
II. C. Cleaner remarks: 81 am in
clined TO think that much of the in
fluence of our modern daily press
toward a deeper conception of duty,
character and public service, etc.

said. Bare your arm
The cigarette smoker barred his pale
arm. and the other laid the lean. black
leech upon it. The leech fell to work
busily. It's body began to swell. Then
all OF a sudden a kind of shudder con
vulsed it, and it fell to the floor
dead.
THAT is what your blood did to that
leech," said the physician. He took
up the little corpse between his finger
and thumb. "Quite dead, you see

moment later the larger one fell be-

man. II am worse than the pestilence

The better way is for each farmer
to drag the road along his farm, and
thus benefit himself as well as the
public. Then if repairs are needed,
notify the township officers. Every
one should be willing to help a little
in this cause, and there are mighty
few farmers in this section who will
shirk in a thing like that. Spend an
hour, now and then, in dragging your
portion of the road and see how much
happier you will feel. Do it this
week, before the soil is laid up with
a cold.

AURORA.
r the Times:

From the Times:
A bad wreck occurred to the north
bound passenger train on the ROCK
Island. about three miles south Of
Bushnell, on the f A. Brelsford farm
Saturday afternoon. The cause OF
the wreck is laid TO the breaking OF
a defective fange on one OF the front
wheels OF the tender car, which after
breaking caused the front truck 10 be
torn entirely from under the car let
ting the front end Of the tender onto
the track. and the train which was
running at a good rate Of speed at
the time ran onto the loose truck
tearing the hind truck from under
the tender and all of the trucks from
the baggage car. The engine broke
loose IRON the balance OF the train
about the time this damage was done
and ran up the track several rods
before the engineer could stop IL.
After the engine had become discon-
nected the portion Of the train still
on the track continued 10 move. The
connection between the baggage and
mail car and smoking car gave way and
the baggage car ran into the wrecked
tender throwing it diagnol with the
track, in which condition it stopped
after being crowded a short dis
lance by the smoking car, which al
so ran INTO the wrecked portion
ahead. tearing out about 30 feet of
it's floor and shaking the passengers
up in wild confusion. No one was
seriously hurt but a few received
some Slight bruises.
