JOHNNIE BURNS
SHOOTS. FATHER
BAD LIQUOR ALMOST MADE A
PATRlCiDE OF A 13-YEAR OLD
BOY. TROUBLE ENDED.

George Burns. we'll known far
mer residing on the John Criner place
near Oyerbrook came very near being
the victim of tragedy yesterday in
which bad liquor was the motive pow
er that started tie trouble. Burns
returned to his home from town Tues
day. 1t is alleged that he proceeded
TO make a rough house. TO avoid
trouble his two boys. aged II and -
left the home for the night and re
mained in the barn away from their
father. Wednesday morning when
the boys appeared again upon the
scene the trouble was renewed. 1t
is alleged that Buns was attempting
to thrash his l2-year old boy when
shotgun was exploded. The shot
took effect in the arm and shoulder
and breast of Burns. 1t sobereG him
A physician was called. The wounds
were pronounced not serious. An
other call was made for the officers
of the law and Sheriff Garrett and
County Attorney Mathers went 10
the scene. They investigated. The
boy was in deep grief and was. crying.
The father was penitent He realized
how closely his home had missed a
tragedy in which he was to be the
victim of deadly shotgun and worse
! than all his son of tender years was
to be stamped a mureder. Peace was
restored in the family. The boy said
the gun was accidentally discharged.
| The father told the same story There
was no way to prove that it was not
accidental and the officers evidently
We're in sympathy with the boy and
did not desire it to he shown other
wise Anyway no arrests We're made
and the officers left the scene with
the boy frightened and in tears and
with the father penitent and peldsing
himself to abstain from drink.

FEW ABUSES OF AUTOMOBILE
Tax on the Eyes and Nervous Syster
Imposed by High Sreed-AIso
Numerous Minor Ills.

The twentieth century may fairly be
called the age of speed. The trolley
car, rushing through city streets and
country roads, replaces the Jogging
horse car and rumbling stage; the
fast steamers take you to England in
five days; the thousand miles be-
tween New York and Chicago is COW
cred in Is hours; and mankind has
almost forgotten the joys of quiet
saunter. Distances have been short
ened by the bicycle. the automobile
and the motor boat, and the aeropiane
is to outspeed them al.
Although much is gained, perhaps,
the physician knows that something
is lost, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion. The uses and benefits of the au-
tomobile, for example, are great If 1t
is sensibly used; but when it is
abused the danger to those in and out
of the car is even greater. Driving
high power car at full speed is a
pleasurable form of intoxication. but
like all intoxications it has it's PEN
alties. and they are heavy.
The drivers eyes and nervous sys-
TEN may suffer seriously, although
there are numerous minor ills to which
he is liable that may come first and
teach him moderation.
The tax on the eyes Is enormous,
for they are kept at constant strain
looking for obstacles and inequalities
in the road. The wind and dust in
spite of goggles often cause trouble
some Inflammation that yields only to
rest in a darkened room and appro-
pirate medical treatment.
A not uncommon affection of the
eyes is a failure to focus properly, the
ciliary muscles become exhausted and
suddenly cease to act-a temporary
paralysis that causes sudden blur
ring of the vision. If that comes
while the car is going at full speed
the driver is fortunate If he can stop
1t in time. The only course for the
driver who has had this affection is
to give up the wheel, for il 1t has oc-
CURED once it may occur again at any
time.
Another ailment that may affect the
passengers as well as the driver is
painful stiff neck caused by uncon-
scious muscular tension. But the most
serious penalty that follows abuse of
the automobile Is neurasthenia or
nervous breakdown. A man whose
brain is fatigued with business cares
cannot with safety substitute another
form of mental strain for the needed
relaxation.

In passing it may be noticed that
these muffs are not difficult to make
at home. There is a variety in
shape and in fabrics, but all are made
on the down beds which may be
bought at the furriers or the dry
goods store.
Muffs are still large although not
extremely so. The handsome muff
of white marabout shown here is
edged with natural ostrich to match
the stoll and is of the correct size.
Aside from their comfort a muff is
one of the most graceful accessories
of the toilet.
Many handsome pushes are manu-
featured and are used in neck pieces
and stoles for constant wear. Mar
row bands of fur-side plated satin,
and small ball trimmings are used
to decorate them. Occasionally
chenille fringe is employed. A half
yard of plush will make a stole and
muff, TO the material is very wide
The sets are inexpensive, very dur
able and preferable to cheap furs.

Candlesticks of white Dresden are

these holders. For a shade use one
