SAW CHILD CRUSHED
Little Girl Was Crossing Street to
Candy Store When Run Down
by Car.

Philadelphia, Oct. 8.-While I,er
mother looked on transfxed with hor-
!ror, fve-year-ole; Amy Elliott,
daughter of John Elliott Of Ewing,
/ n. j.. was crushed to death Monday
night by a Riige avenue car near
Mater street. The child had climb
ed from an automobile where her
mother was sitting and had started
to cross the street toward candy
store when the car suddenly bore
down upon her and rolled her under
the front truck.
The father Of the dead child and
hi; family came up from their home
in New Jersey to visit friends in
North Philadelphia. He was on his
way home by automobile and stopped
st store on Ridge avenue to make a
purchase. While he was in the store
the child decided to ge tsome candy
and stepped from the automobile di-
rectly into the path ofthe car. Her
body was so firmly wedged beneath
the truck that jacks were required to
life the car in order to release it.
When she was extricated the
father placed her mangled form in
his automobile and made speedy
run to st. Joseph's Hospital. The
child, however, had been instantly
killed. The doctors at the hospital
declared nearly every bone in her
body had been broken by the acct
dent. The crew Of the car was first
arrested and then released when all
evidence indicated that the tragedy
was unavoidable.

What Constitutes A Home

Think of ZONE, and the mind instinct
lively wanders back to the old town, the
quiet street, the spacious grounds, the cot
tage hidden among the trees, the gravel
walk, the old well, the flowers in bloom,
and the air laden with the fragrance OF
spring.
As the closing day casts it's shadows
over the world, fading RAYS of the declin-
ing sun pierce though the latticed win
dows, and over Graded innocence a
mother croons her lullaby.
AS the breaking dawn calls to activity
the waking world, we see him on whom,
for her, age never descends-we see them
as, locked in each others embrace, they
stroll down the garden walk. Leaning
over the gate, he implants upon her brow
parting kiss. As he passes from view,
Wa see her wave aloft her embracing arm,
and from the distance comes his response
We say: There Is a home And so it is
1t is not necessary that it be sumpt-
uons to be home 1t is only neces-
sary that Love reign therein.
1t is not necessary that 1t be poor to he
a home. 1t is oniy important that Kind
nees shall b. the m ing spirit
A nation thar ignores the welfare and
the happiness of the home is naiior
doomed. Men do not defend tenements.
The only excuse fer government and
law is to maintain the possibility of the
home. We need not machne-make
homes nor machine ma men
For the home we need only Jastice to
make it possible. Peace to make it whole,
Kindness to make it inviting. Compsn
ionship TO make it best, Love to make it
holy, and the laughter Of a little child to
make it wine Omaha Chancellor.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, az they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deatrefs,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the Eurta-
chan Tube. When this tube is iDtiamed
you have rumbIing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed coldi-
ton of the mucous surface.

Nature Study for Rural Schools.

Elk-The shipping Of car load Of elk
by Game Warden Viquesney from Yell
lowstone National Park to Randolph
county, has created considerable inter-
est and we think now is an excellent
time to learn something about EN-.
1t seems they have more in Yellow
stone Park than they can care for, there
fore they are moving them. Three car
loads were shipped one going to Penn
sylvania and others to West Virginia
The elk belongs to family of rumi
nant mammals distinguished by the
possession of deciduous branching horns
and by the presence of spots on the
young. The horns, or antlers begin to
appear toward the end of spring. There
is an increased flow of blood to the head
at this time The blood vessels at what
later becomes the base of the horn, be-
come temporarily enlarged and the bud
ding horn grows very rapidly, making
their full growth in ten weeks. At first
and are covered with delicate hairy
covering known as the 'tvelvet." When
the horns have reached their full size, a
bony ring forms around the base of the
horn and by pressing upon gradually
closes the blood vessels which supply nu-
triment to the antlers. The velvety Gov
ering then begins to shrivel and peel off,
this being fastened by the elk rubbing
It's antlers against trees and rocks. The
grooves which now may be seen mark
the place of the former blood vessels
Only the male sex of deer and elk have
horns. Both sexes of reindeer have
them. They are fully developed when
the mating season begins and they form
very useful weapon in the fights be-
tween the males for possession of the fe-
males. When the mating season is over
they are shed, reappearing however. in
the following spring, continuing to grow
larger and heavier until the elk is full
grown. They often weigh from fifty to
slAJY pouuus5 tue HcCk Luu6t consequent
ly be short and stout.
Elk have long legs and it is thus I'M
able to feed from the ground tor which
reason it browses on the tops of low
plants, the leaves of trees and tender
shoe ts of the willow and birch. Its ant
lers attain their full length by the fifth
year but in after years they increase in
breadth and in the number of branches
until fourteen of these are produced. In
making their way through the forest
they carry their anters in horizontal
position to prevent enlargement with
the branches.

Shall the Cows Run at Large?

Some fifteen to twenty years ago when
Behngton was smaller and less known
than che is today the town council with
consent of the people ordered that cows
should no longer run at large within the
corporate limits. At that time Belingtop
had only two railroads, one telephone
Office two telegraph offices, no banks, no
paved streets, no electric lights, no water
works, no sewerage system, no wholesale
house,, no union station, no railroad
shops-fewer stores, fewer churches, few
er school rooms, fewer citizens and in re.
atty Belington was very small but
promising borough.
Great changes have taken place since
then--it would be needless at this point
TO cite the many fferences and changes
as we believe everybody who has the in
terests of the town at heart has a grasp
of the situation.
You remember too within recent years
for some cause or other, the COWS have
the lace of progress, and unlike other
towns and cities of any note, no check
has been made or action taken to speak
of, so tie ''cow question" has remained
dormant, partly by political preference,
and partly by neglect or the lack of cou-
rage The time is now at hand when
this question should be given the peo-
pie for solution, after a due and unbiased
discussion of the following subordinate
topics:
sis 1t right for my COW to trespass on
property not mine by lease or owner
ship? eff my COW eats up my neighbours
garden, should l stand the loss, or
should he, or if my cow hurts some child
while out on the street, what part have
in it? "Can afford to let my COW run
at large and take all the risks of her be-
ing killed? "Can afford to own a COW
and pay $1,000 per year pasture hire?
"Can my COW live on free pasture better
than on hired pasture? (Which is the
greater satlslaCtton 10 KNOW where 10
find my COW, or to not know? (Which
is true economy to fence the cows OF
fence the gardens and lawns? sis my
COW after eating out of old slop bowls in
the alleys and at the mouths of sewers
healthy COW? do cows run at large in
the country districts? "Why do let my
COW run at large any way?"
Now that the matter is up for discus,
sion lets make sure that if the "cow
question" comes to vote that we will
not be found wanting.

Building A Business

Imagination is the eye OF the mind,
the power that calls up pictures OF things
not yet present, ideals not yet realized,
perfection not yet attained,
Imagination precedes and is the cause
of all achievement.
Columbus looked across the limitless
ocean With the eye of his mind and saw
America; then went and found it and 80
made his picture real.
An engineer looked at Niagara Falls
and saw the city of Buffalo lighted by
electric power. Science, following after,
made his mental picture real.
The soul ptor sees his finished statue in
the block of marble before he sets chisel
to the stone. The painters completed
picture stretched in his mind before he
lifts a BUSH The musicians dreamy
melodies float in his ears long before the
air vibrates to their harmony.
So with all human achievement. First
the picture in the mind-then the reali
cation.
Get clearly before your mental eye the
business organization you want to build.
Then rear it with plan. Never strive
tor moment blindly.
System ls the plan by which business
structures are built. If your business
system is right, the ideal structure in
your mind will take tangible form.
Without system it will remain dream.
Picture the inspiring end-work toward
it with system.
