Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated to
believe it at first hearing, we feel
secure in accepting its truth. The
following experience of a Brattleboro
man is confirmed after lapse of
years.

A dear little boy
With a very sad face
Sat hiding away
BY the big fireplace.
When asked why he hid
He said. with a stare,
"Why, can't you all see

And so there he sat
Till the company went.
And when he came out
His ma saw a rent
In his pants-but. my me,
I'll not tell you where!
But when his ma saw
She said. II declare!"
And straightway a patch
She sewed DER the rent:
Then out TO his play
The little boy went.

SPEEDING up

Mondays city dailies were filled this
week with the usual accounts of auto
mobile accidents Five killed in Ind
lana, two at one place in California
and one at another point. There is
no surprise in these accidents. We
read them as matter of course with
never shudder at the horror of the
occurrences.
Monday is the worst day in the week
for accounts of such occurrences, and
that because many, far too many peo-
pie spend their day of rest in the
strenuous enjoyment of autoing. The
Star-Mirror does not mean to insinu-
ate that no autoists are church goers.
Far from it. Many country people
attend church in their autos, but
when the religious services of the day
are over an auto ride for pleasure is
quite usual. Then there are the reg
equations prevent any such pleasure
So take it all in all there are more
auto accidents Monday than any 9TH
er day.
Another feature of these frequent
and appalling accidents is that the
victims are quite often members of
the same family. In the Indianapolis
accident an entire family was wiped
out
This immediate neighborhood has
been comparatively fortunate. Save
on one occasion we have had no fatal
accidents. Probably that is because
our drivers over these billy roads are
more careful--less reckless of hu-
man life. In some of the prairie
states of this country the accidents
are so numerous that certain news |
papers hold one column for the auto |
accidents and run them all in together |
"a CHASTITY reminder for the reckless |
these accidents. speed or carelessness
in watching for turns and railroad |
crossings Mostly it is reckless speed
that causes the tragedy. AS soon as
a man gets his hand on the steering
gear of his new machine, he wants
to see what time "she will make,
how She'll hit her up"
1t is strange that men in full pos
session of their faculties will not
realize that as auto drivers, death
and injury await them ut every turn
in the road. There are laws to In s
