Killed by the Cars.

Darlington Republican journal: On
Wednesday evening the 5:15 eastbound
freight train struck and instantly killed
Dennis Mcdonald on the big curve Mt
the head of the grade one mile north of
Darlington. The train brought the re-
mains to the city and the body was
taken in charge by Geo. j. Steil and
lay in the morgue during the night and
on the following morning was taken
out to the Mcdonald homestead in
Fayette.
Dennis was about thirty years old
and was employed by Nicholas Meylor
as farm hand. About an hour be-
fore the accident he was seen going up
the track toward Meylor's home. The
engineer stated that as his train came
around the curve. he saw Mcdonald
lying asleep alongside the track. He
applied the air. brakes and vainly tried
TO stop the train but the pilot struck
McDonald's head killing him instantly.
The facts were so plain that no inquest
was held.
The sympathy Of the community for
the surviving brothers and sisters is
deep and wide.

Exercise to Keen Youna.

In speaking before an audience Of fash

best method of combating advancing
age was to develop muscle.

that sport was good for health women
were Indifferent he said. but as soon
as some one asserted that sport meant

impetuous enthusiasm

the use Of rouge. with which women
cOlorod their lips. sayiag that II had

The Beautiful Mouth.

TO begin with. beautiful lips are mo-
feet their contour, lips that are fixed
and tight are never attractive. Then,
too. holding the lips In fixed position
quickly ages the face and induces lines
In 1t even less attractive than the line
Of the mouth. Persons who make con
slant use of their lips in laughter,
conversation or singing preserve the
charm of youth and mobility In them
that Is not npt to be apparent In those
given to silence. This alone indicates
the necessity for exercise. and all beau
ty culturists advise exercise Of the lips
to preserve youthful face aud keep
the mouth flexible and attractive.
Marie MOntalgne makes this point In
an article In Hurpcr's Baznr. and she
goes on to say
"Odd as II may seem. II becomes
quite impossible to cherish irritating
thoughts when the corners Of the lips
are turned up, lnscnsibly little sprltes
Of happy memories come dancing into
the mind. and the lines about the
mouth smooth ont or take on sweet
curves, Laughter II essential TO n
pretty mouth not the constant hugh
ter that stretches the Hips and lines
the cheeks. but that merriment which
keeps the lips flexible and drives away
burrows Of care"
