I used to know a little lad,
A yohngster OF thirteen.
Who wasn't very good Of bad
But somewhere in between. 4.
He had such freckles on his nose
As your o seems to bear.
Indeed, I'd almost think that those
We're some he used to wear.
He used to have an old straw hat,
ALI frazzled at the brim.
Indeed; I'd almost think that that
Came down to you from him.
And he had such a dog as now
Barks joyfuly aong
With you. 1t makes me wonder how
It could have lived SO long.
I know not where it was or when
But. with his heart of song.
He went and came not back again
And took his dreams along
So some day in a little while
He'll wave a sun lbAowned hand
And leave you with Ills CHEEKY smile
And you will understand.

Grabbed a Live Wire.

There was considerable excite
ment in north Leon Monday. evening
over live electric light wire, which
burned and shocked couple of little
boys. The wire was plain wire rum
ming from W. A. Alexander's resi-
dence to his barn across the alley.
and al tier the rain little Francis Cher
rington and Donald MnGinnia -s'eso
playing in the alley. Francis took
hold OF the electric light wire. and
received quite severe shock, and
was unable to let go of it. Donald
McGinnis tried to pull him away
from the wire and he was held fast
by it too. Then Mrs. McGinnis hear
ing their cries ran to them and she
was knocked down, and w. A. Alex
ander also tried to release the boys
and he was knocked down couple OF
times, but finally secured board and
pulled the wire away from the boys.
The wire was only carrying 10 volts
but the fact that the ground was
watersoaked made the current pref
ty strong. Francis Cherrington was
quite severely burned about the
hands and Donald McGinnis was also
slightly burned on the hands, but
neither of the lads were seriously
injured.

Clarence TOWnsend's House, Garage
and Auto Burned.

Clarence Townsend, of Decatur
City, lost his house, garage and
Flanders touring car by fire Satur-
day evening about six o'clock, and
came very nearly losing his life IN
the fire, being severely burned about
the legs, and had Mrs. Townsend not
wrapped him up in quilt ne PROB
ably would have been burned to
death. Mr.. Townsend was at the
garage, preparing to vulcanlze an
auto tube. In filling the cup OF the
gasoline vulcanizer he had spilled
some gasoline on his clothing and
when he lit a match to light the vul-
canizer his clothes burst into flames.
The fire destroyed the garage, all OF
his tools and his car, and then the
house which stood near, caught fire
and was totally destroyed, but all
of their furniture was saved, except a
lot of canned goods and other things
which were stored in the basement.
Mr.. Townsend had $E4OO insurance
on the house, $1,000 on his house
hold goods, 5000 on the garage, $4OO
on the auto and $500 on his tools In
the garage, which. will about cover
his loss, although in case of fire there
are always many things destroyed
which an owner never thinks about
until long afterwards when he has
occasion to use them.

SOused the Spooners.

John Bell has an old settee sitting
on his lawn and recently it has been
sort of mecca for late spooners and
his slumbers have been greatly dis
turbed by their billing and cooling.
Sunday night he played little joke
on a couple who had taken posses
sion of the settee without his permis-
sion. He secured the garden hose
from his son Eds residence adjoin-
ing, and took it upstairs with him
and through the window. At a late
hour Sunday night while the lovesick
couple were in the midst of their
spooning John took notion that
his lawn needed sprinkling, and turn
ed on the water. OF course he did
not know the-sette was occupied, and
as it was an old one, he paid no at
tention to where the water went, and
it was no fault of his if the strong
stream of water happened to be d.
rected straight at the settee, and he
was surprised CD when thorough
ly soaked young couple made hasty
getaway from his lawn.

X. & w. Restores Passenger Trains

Announcement is made by the
Burlington railroad that the two pas
senger trains on the K. & W. which
were recently taken off after six
months trial, will be restored COM
mencing next Monday. The trains
ran from Osceola to Shenandoah,
giving the people along this branch
two passenger trains each way: When
the trains were taken off the people
in the towns along the line got busy
and commenced an action to compel
the Burlington to sell the line which.
they claim parallels the main line of
tie Burlington across the state and
is in violation of law, as it destroys
all competition. A hearing in regard
to the taking off of the trains before
the state railroad commissioners has
been postponed until September, but
the matter of the government taking
up the matter is being investigated,
attorney general McReynolds having
written that the matter had been re-
ferred to Claude R. Porter, United
States attorney for the southern dis
trict of Iowa. The restoration of the
trains will be great convenience to
all the towns on the line, and the
citizens propose to see that they are
kept on permanently.

A Chronic Kicker.

Last week we noticed clipping
in The Reporter concerning poor
road work. Now we want to ask the
writer if they took into consideration
the dry weather we have been having
this season, making it almost impos-
sible to work without getting more
or less clods in the road. Some pe0-
pie are ever ready to condemn 9TH
ers in what ever they do. Now we
doubt that the one that wrote that
ever spent an hour in labor on the
road. Some people in trying to show
their wisdom expose their ignorance
in large packages. xxx
Replying to the above, we simply
say the editor of The Reporter wrote
the item in regard to poor road work
and we will admit that we never did
any actual road work, but we do
claim to be able to tell whether q
road has been properly worked or
not when we have made a personal
inspection of it. We will admit that
the season has been somewhat dry
and clods have been hard to pulver-
ize, but that is no excuse for any man
who works the roads to drag clOds
and stones up in the center of the
road and leave a narrow ridge in
the center of the road so high that
autos cannot pass over it without
striking and injuring the bottom of
the car, which was the case in several
pieces of road which we drove over,
and which brought forth our criti-
cism of the road work. This poor
work could have been avoided by
simply spreading out the ridge SO
L h1 1nf+ cn
that autos cannot drive over it in
co fotv

LAD DIES FROM FALL
Arthur Smith Died Sunday Morning
from Injuries Received Week
AQ0 in FAILING Off a Horse.

| Arthur Smith, the thirteen year
old son of county road foreman
George Smith, died Sunday morning,
at the home of his parents six miles
southwest of Decatur, the result of
injuries received in falling from a
horse the previous Sunday.
At the time of the accident Arthur
was returning to the barn from the
we'll, where he had taken his faith
er's team to water He was riding
one of the horses and leading the
other one, and one of the horses
reached for bite of grass by the
roadside, and Arthur either lost his
balance. or was pulled on by taa
horse and fell headlolg q to ~ tsa.t tsaate
ground, striking on his head and fin-
juring his spine. Some of his broth
erss saw him fall and ran to his as
sistance and found him unconscious.
He was carried to the house and DR..
Brittan, of Decatur, summoned and
he was given every attention. Later
Or. Mcdonald of Creston, and DR..
Quigley were summoned, but during
the seven days he fingered he never
regained consciousness.
Arthur Willis Smith was born in
this county, Oct. II, 1901, being IL
years, months and IS days old at
the time of his death. He was the
youngest of family of ten children
and his death was the first to break
the family circle. He is survived by
his father, mother, six brothers and
three sisters. He was bright little
lad, a general favorite in the neigh
borhood, and his death is deeply re-
gretted by many friends. The en-
tire community extend their SYM
pathy to the bereaved family in their
hour of trouble.
!. Funeral services were held at the
family home on Monday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. M. H.. Brinker,
pastor of the Decatur Christian
church, the choir singing several ap-
.propriate hymns. Six little boys, all
about Arthur's age, acted as pail
bearers, and his little body was ten
derly laid to rest in the Elk ceme-
