Elsie Curtis sat at the window Of her
room. typewriting. 1t was o'clock, and
at 80 there was matinee to which she
was going. She had new hat and
gown TO wear, and her head was full of
them and the matinee. She loved the
theater, she loved her good clothes, she
loved everything, indeed, save work. But
IN order to enjoy the theater and possess
the good clothes she must work.
Elsie typed for Miss Brooke, and Miss
Brooke wrote stories. Elsie's ideas on
the subject of Miss Brooke's productivity
ana her own were in a certain sense So
cialistic. Miss Brooke earned at one end
OF the scale and she at the other. Miss
Brooke thought in terms of dollars and
she pounded out copy in terms OF cents.
Yet Miss Brooke's thoughts would have
oeen more or less ineffective without the
cieVer calculation produced by her tipping.
Miss Brooke could not type. And her
writing was that of any person whose
mind moves faster than her muscles No
editor in the world could ever have picked
out more than one word in five of that
intricate script which Elsie had learned

For some time now amusement had

OH Just the same. She hurried her work
and loitered over her amusements. She
could make her fingers fly. and she let
them go at the speed limit Of accuracy
and beyond. 1mperfections blotted her
copy and Miss Brooke began to find fault.
Elsie listened carelessly. Let Miss Brooke
grumble! Elsie was not afraid. She was
too valuable to Miss Brooke to be rslking
much, and she had something to gain
added moments for n novel or a chat.
Miss Brooke could not find anybody to
take her place 1t would take year at

Four person were injured, none of
them fatally, in an automobile acci-
dent, which occurred about one mile
from this city shortly after noon yes
terday, and as result Mr.. S. T. Stew
art, prominent business man of Mt.
Olivet, KY, is at the Massie Hospital,
suffering with a dislocated shoulder
and broken shoulder blade.
The entire party, composed of
Messrs. Stewart, Samuel Throckmor-
ton, r. d. Curtis and Walter Lin
vile, was from Mt. Olivet and max
ing the trip through to Lexington in
i the automobile of the latter, which is
Ford car.
They came to Paris yesterday morn
ing, arriving here about twelve o'clock
and taking dinner, proceeded on
their trip to Lexington. At the Adair
bridge over Houston creek, about one
mile from the city limits, Linville,
who was driving the car, attempted to
fasten a surtain on the car as a pro-
lection against the threatening rain.
He was running the car at a moder-
ate rate of speed when suddenly he
| lost control of the machine, which
plunged into the fence across the
road.
The occupants were thrown out,
but with not with great force. Mr..
Stewart, who is about sixty-five years
old, suffered the most severe injur-
| les. His right shoulder was diSlo-
Gated and the shoulder blade of the
| left was broken. Mr.. Throckmorton,
who is the county clerk of Robertson
county, was cut and bruised in a
number of places and the other mem
bers of the party suffered only slight
bruises from the impact.
Physicians were summoned from
this city, Drs. Kenney and Rankin re-
spending to the call, and the injured
wen were brought to Paris. Mr..
Stewart was taken to the Massie
Hospital, where the natlre of his inju-
ries was determined, and he was Civ
en- immediate attention. Last night
he was reported to be doing as well
as could be expected, although he was
suffering considerably.
The other members of the party
who suffered comparatively slight in
iuries, were able to return home last
night.
The automobile, which was the
property of Mr.. Linville, who is a son
in-law of Mr.. Stewart, was badly dam
aged and was brought to the garage
of the Craig-Davis Motor Co., yester
day afternoon for repairs.
All of the men figuring in the acci
dent are prominent in Robertson
county, Mr.. Curtis being a represent
ative of the American Tobacco Co. in

; gagged in business in that city.

Mr.. PERCY REED
-. MAKES A BIG HIT.

From the crowds that packed the
Columbia Thatre yesterday after
noon and night to hear Mr.. Reed
sing, it is forgone conclusion that
he is the idol of the theatre-goers of
Paris, who love to hear a good singer.
Mr. Reed has just returned from the
South where he finished a twenty
two weeks engagement at the Majes-
tic Theatre in Memphis, Tenn, which
is one of the largest and finest NOV
ing picture theatres in the South,
having a seating capacity close to
two thousand.
The Columbia Theatre, as we'll as
the Paris people in general, are to
! be congratulated on having such a
baritone singer again in their midst
and many comments were heard yes
terday on his singing and all have
agreed that his voice is stronger and
still has that meoldious sweetness
| the kind that no one but Mr.. Reed
can put into words He will continue
! to sing at this popular theatre and
it certainly is a treat to hear him
again in Paris.
