CUPID'S QUICK WORK.
Unexpected Marriage of Miss May
Parker and Clinton Budworth
Occasions Surprise.

Dan Cupid performs some peculiar
pranks in welding human hearts In
forming some compacts the task is
rather difficult and consid cradle time
is required to negotiate details for a
matrimonial alliance, while in other
instances the victims fall an easy prey
to the darts the little god of love is
portrayed as casting, and the period
of courtship is of brief duration.
To be woed, won and welded in
the short space of ten days is the In
usual experience of Miss May Parker,
n of Boscobel's popular maidens,
and the young man who figures so
prominently in the interesting event
is Clinton Budworth of Lancaster.
Mr.. Budworth came to this city
about three weeks ago to accept a
position in the Dial Enterprise Office.
In the course of human events it was
his lot to meet Miss Parker, and il
there ever was a case of falling in
love at first sight being reciprocal
this was a true example. Whenever
the opportunity afforded the young
people were together and preliminary
plans were secretly laid for an i'm
mediate elimination of their hearts
desires. Obstacles naturally arose,
but where there's a will there's a
way
The prospective groom went to
the county seat Monday Of last week,
secured the necessary credentials, and
last Saturday evening the services of
Rev. Birrell were solicited and the
nuptial knot tied. Miss Emma Ruka
acted as bridesmaid, while Herman
Miller officiated in capacity of best
man at the occasion. The happy
couple drove to Lancaster, where they
will reside until a permanent location
is definitely decided upon.
The bride is a daughter of Frank
Parker of Schenectady, N. Y, but has
made her home for some time with
an aunt, Mrs. A. ]. Pipkin, of this
city. The young gentleman with
wnom she has plighted her troth is a
son of ex-Sheriff Albert Budworth of
Lancaster. While not averse to their
marriage. the indulgent aunt and
parents would have preferred that the
young folks wait awhile, but Cupid
ruled otherwise
They are capable and competent
and we trust their lives may be long
and happy -Boscobel Dial Enterprise.

From newspaper clippings we
learn that during the same period
twenty.eight persons died in the
flames, in this state, and eighteen
were seriously injured, as the fire stole
upon them like a thief in the night,
cutting off all avenue of escape.
This sad tale seriously reflects upon
our intelligence and care, as intel
ligent care would have prevented
most of these fires, and saved lives
and property.
Why 800 chimney fires, when
proper construction, careful inspec-
tion and needed repair would prevent
them?> Or 108 needless fires from
stoves. placed near walls and parti-
tons or on wooden floors, without
metal protection 2 Or 80 fires due to
stove pipes, placed too close to wood ?
The mere statement of the causes
suggests the proper remedy.
We hope that this statement will
cause our citizens to inspect their
own premises, and to promptly
remedy all defective conditions liable
to cause fire. If it does not, then
this warming will be in vain.
Before the heavy dres are again
started, have a competent man in
spect your heating. plant, stoves and
chimneys; and lose no time in max
ing the needed-repairs and changes.
You may be the next unfortunate to
have your property reduced to ashes,
and perhaps your dear ones sacrificed
on the altar of your own carelessness.
Insurance may indemnify you. in
part, for your property loss; but it
will not restore the property any more
than your loved ones.

that of Ben Bass Jr. of the town of
Little Grant, which occurred on

gone that morning to haul some logs
and had gone on ahead with his team,
Mr.. Smith expecting to join him later
When Mr.. Smith drove down the
road near the residence of W n. Peak,
he saw Bass team standing n the
road and upon a nearer approach dis
covered his lifeless body lying on the
running gears of his wagon. MI.
Smith hastily removed the body to the
roadside and found that life had flown.
He at once phoned to Bloomington for
DR.. Heraty and notified the three
brothers OF the Reconsideration, Joe
and Tom, who were a few miles
away at work. After an examination
the locator announced heart failure to
be the CAUSE of death, which had ap-
parently been instantaneous. The
funeral was held on Sunday at the
Hurricane church, the sermon being
preacted by Rev. Chas. T. Beers
pastor of the M. E. church at Lancas-
ter. An obituary notice for Mr.. Bass
was prepared for publication but was

Number of l~eucocytes, 5000. Per-
centage of popynuclears, 78." This
is the substance of a bulletin from

What are l~eucocytes9 What are

ance of 9, 200 of the one and 78 per
cent of the other?
The blood consists Of a fluid in
which float cells. The cells are of
two main kinds-red blood corpuscles
and white blood corpuscles, or leu

carry food and particularly the gas5'
Gus foods, such as oxygen. They
carry food to the tissues, while they
carry waste away from the tissues.
Again, it is the gaseous waste, in the
main, that the red cells transport.
The white blood corpuscles are the

6 900 to 1000 white cells. but the
number Of white cells varies within
broad limits because they wander in
and out of the blood cells according
as their work demands If the blood
be examined today the number might
not exceed 5000 of them in the same
quantity of blood.
Not only will all the reserves be
called away from. their resting places
by the bugle call. but new cells will
be made with great rapidity. When
germs of certain kinds get into
wounds the leucocytes gather around
them. engolf, eat, and digest them,
or else die in the attempt.
Not all leucocytes are equally ac-
tive fighters. There is a kind that

actively that it's nucleus seems to split
up into two or more nuclsars. These
are called the po%lynuclears Ordi-
