NOT WHAT HE SEEMED.

She was very stout and must have
weighed three hundred pounds. She
was learning roller skating when she
had the misfortune to fall. Several
attendants rushed to her side, but
were unable to raise her at once. One
said soothingly:
We'll get you up all right. madam
Do not be alarmed"
"Oh. I'm not alarmed at all. but
your floor is SO terribly lumpy."
And then from underneath came a
small voice which said: "I am not

CANDLE LEMAS DAY

Next Monday is Candlemas day.
This is one Of the forerunning
thoughts of spring. On that day the
candles used in the churches and in
the homes of the people are blessed.
On that occasion the proverbial
grounding will make his annual ap-
pearance after his winter hiberna-
ton, and should he see his shadow
he will return to his haunts to wait
another six weeks, and this means
more winter weather.
Another old saying is that winter
is half spent on Candlemas day. The
saysing is, "Candlemas day, Candle
mas day, half the wood and half
the hay"

WAS A NEhR
ACCIDENT
Farmers Team and Auto Near.
Iy Collide

A great deal has been sud about
the recklessness OF automl ).le driv-
ers. Some drivers have deserve
severe criticism and others have al
ways been careful. People I, prone
to lay all manner of blame or care
lessness on the drivers. I, t, it is
equally certain that other pc, pie are
reckless and sometimes more than
reckless. The automobile rivers
of Grand Rapids are trying t. obey
the law and most of them 60, but
as much can not be said OF some
of the drivers OF teams. Til is
more true in the case of farme who
come into the city. Everyone ioes
or should know that the sc aral
rule is to keep on the right ma
side of the street, and to turn Or
ners around the right hand s e.
Monday a farm team was driving o
ward the Witter hotel and was On
the left>hand side of the street an
automobile came around the bend Of
the street near the Witter no e.,
and nearly collided with the farmc 5
team. The automobile was travel :
at moderate rate of speed and W S
on the right side of the street. T &
prompt action of the automobi
driver in stopping his car undoubte
/ ly prevented a bad accident. 1t /
probably that had any damage bee
done, there would have been a grea
/ deal said about reckless driving OF
the part of the automobile driver.

According to Max Ladinsly, he

consisted OF six chars, a mattress
and a blanket, near the stove, filled
the stove with fuel, and went to bed.
He was awakened by his s.s,er-in-

fire.
When Max was aroused, he found
that his hair was on fire, and the
wall of the room near the stove
was in a blaze
The fire was, evidently, caused by
tile overheating Of the stove. The
woodwork near the s.ove caught fire
and the fire spread between the
walls and went to the floor above
The damage was confined to the par

work done kept the fire from spread.
