TO CRYSTAL LAKE FOR
A BIG DAYS OUTING

In answer to an invitation, 'Will
last Sabbath we rather reluctantly
acquiesced, for it was the first long
trip we had ventured to take since
our sickness.
The day was fine and the roads
were in good condition and to miss
such an opportunity might cause
regret. But Mr.. E. G. Wilson soon
had his crowd together.
Genes "Speedwell" was in fine
condition and Atlantic was reached
just at dinner time. An hour after
and we were on the last leg of our
outbound journey.

surprised that a little pond, of such
smallness could be called lake and
have such a. reputation over such a
scope of country and renowned for
pleasant resort. But the waters
being held by a nicely built stone
wall with two large springs over
flowing into it conveyed by three
inch pipes, and all ON sand bot
tom makes the pond an ideal place
flor bathing, and being about four

I pond and surroundings more con-
genial to the pleasure-seekers were
a toboggan slide, diving board,
and on the side we'll arranged

SHERIFF DE[AHOYDE
DIED IN HOSPITAL

Sheriff S. e. Delahoyde, of Guth-
rie Center, died at the Methodist
hospital in Des Moines following
an operation for bowel trouble. He
submitted to an operation as last
resort, his condition being SO criti-
cal. 1t was found that the appendix
was in bad condition, and the
gall had formed an adhesion to the
stomach. He rallied from the an
aesthetic and the docotr's' talked en-
couragingly of his case, but after
noon he gradually became worse
and passed away at $500 O'Clock,
Tuesday evening, July Sth, 1913.
He was raised near Stuart and be-
cause of his efficiency while on po-
lice duty in that city was elected
Sheriff of the County in which Of
flee he was serving for the third
year. Everybody sympathizes with
his sorrowing widow and five little
children left fatherless. His body
was inferred at Stuart Friday fol-
lowing his death.

Matilda said in the Guthrian

hearts for her.
Our mail carrier, Mr.. Shelley, is
taking his vacation just now and
his good wife is taking her vaca-

if they are exchanging work? A

Mrs. Shelley are such good mail
carriers giving such excellent SER

the route are their friends we are

A PREACHER HAS A
VERY HARD Time

The preacher has a hard time. If
his hair is grey, he is old; If he is
a young man he hasn't had exper-
ience; if he has ten children, he
has too many; if he has none, he
should have and is not setting a
good example.
If his wife sings in the choir. she
is presuming; if she doesn't she is
not interested in her husbands S
work; if a preacher reads from
notes, he is bore; if he speaks
extemperaneously, he sins deep
enough; if he stays at home in
his study, he doesn't mix with his
people; if he is seen on the streets,
he ought to be at home getting up
a sermon; if he calls on some poor
Family, he is playing to the grand
stand; if he calls at the home OF
the rich, he is an aristocrat; What
ever he, dies smoe one could have
told him how to do better He has
a fine time living off donations
which never mature. Next to being
an editor, it is an awful life.-Ex.

LITTLE ROBERT HENS[EY
CLAIMED BY DEATH.

Robert 1olo Hensley, the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John 1. Hensley, was
born April 9th 1906, and passed
away at 6:45 P. M. Monday. July
18th, 1913.
While climbing tree in the home
yard last Thursday afternoon, he
fell and sustained a double fracture
of one arm; and although the best
of medical skill was given tetanus
or lock jaw, set in the third day,
from the effects of which he sue
cumbed.
The little sufferer was very pa
tient during his affliction and want
ed his mother constantly at his
bedside. Before dissolution came
he called for his mother to kiss
him and knew all of his relatives
and friends around him.
While in health he loved to hear
his mother read Bible stories to
him; and during his sickness he
called for them, and at all times
would rather hear them than run
and play with the children. His ma
tural inclination was for good and
his comprehension for one of his
years was remarkable. His mother
will miss his simple questions and
living companionship.
He had learned a little prayer
which he rehearsed daily. 1t was as
follows:
"Father, Mother, God, loving me,
Guard me while I sleep,
Guide my little feet up to Thee"
From tired JOY and grief afar,
And nearer Thee,
Father, where Thine own children
are,
/ love to be.
My prayer, some daily good to do
To Thine, for Thee;
An off'ring pure of Love, where
to
God leadeth me.

AUTO ACCIDENT, ASHBY
AND F|SCUS HURT

While j. B. Ashby, he son-in-law
of Mr.. John Weighton, was bring
ing his helpers from his farm north
of Audubon, to their homes Satur-
day night in his big six cylinder
Mitchell car, he met George Smith,
homeward bound, driving a team
hitched to wagon, on the narrow
of Audubon.
grade near the Kerwin farm north
In the car were j. B. Ashby,
awheel; and men, Prather; Brady;
and Fiscus. The roads were good
and the car moving along swiftly:
the grade on which they met the
wagon, driven by Mr.. Smith, was q
very narrow cne, and as he was
going over hill Mr.. Ashby did not
observe the team until nearly ou
them. He applied the brakes but
the three men in the car were bad
ly injured anc one of the horses
was injured SO badly that it was ne
cessary to kiln it; the auto was a
wreck and ths wagon was COM
pletely demolished. The horses were
| frightened by the lights of tha
car and as the grade was SO mar
row it was :mpo ssible to avoid a
collision. Toe auto had its front
badly battered, one wheel broken
and other minor damage.
In the mix-up the auto had turn
ed completely around and was
headed north instead of south, the
direction it was going at the time
of the accident. Mr.. Smith was
thrown out of the wagon and in a
nearby ditch unhurt, while Ashby
| the driver of the auto, was injur-
ed in the head, Fiscus had his
skull fractured and was the most
seriously hurt while Brady had two
ribs broken and his back injured
Prather was the most fortunate and
received but few bruises. How
any of the auto party, or the driv-
err of the wagon, esceped a worse
fate is almost miracle.

HARLAN PAPER TAKES
SUPERVISORS TO TASK

Speaking generally this paper is
of the opinion that the Board OF
Supervisors and County Auditor
should not become too prominent
in opposition to the new road law.
The law is mile, compared to what
many people wanted and compared
to what succeeding laws are likely
to be. The state is bound to have
good roads, and the men who
get in front of the car of progress
are likely to get run over. .''-Shel-
