crowding Fritz from the drivers seat.
I'll not eat that road hogs dust any
longer You may like 1t, but I amt
built that way"
Down the narrow road went the two
cars, the Pickett 4-cylinder gaining
fast on the cheaper Shannon machine.
The Pickett hood was almost even with
the Shannon tail light, when from a
lane opening through the hedge on one
side came a terrified steer, wild from
fright at threshing tractor that was
coming down the lane. The steer tried
to avoid this new peril, lodged and
slipped. The Shannon car swerved be-
tween ditch and steer and ran clear.
There was no room for the Pickett car
to turn out, had there been time. A
below Of terror, crash, the sound OF
crumpling, bending, scraping metal and
wood and a loud gasp as the steers life
went out with its violently expelled
breath. The Pickett car slid sideways
into the ditch and turned over Old Jim
sat up at the edge Of the thorny hedge
and looked about. In the ditch near the
protruding tile Of a culvert Fritz lay
still. There was a dark stain soaking
the dry clay near his head. Old Jim ran
to him.
"Fritzie, boy my boy, Fritzie," he
called in terror at the white face.
"Fritzie, boy-speak to mech"
1t was a weak and wild old man the
grizzled Shannon seized by the shoul-
der second later. The Shannon car
had turned back. Ethel Smith was
climbing from it before it stopped.
Here, Jim, steady" were the elder
Shannon's words as his hand touched
Pickett. Maybe he's only stunned.
Pink get some water from that radia-
tor-no, you Miss Smith. Pink run to
Moorehead's house and telephone to
Doctor Johnston.
But the doctor wasn't 80 badly need
ed The water, though warm, brought
Fritz around quickly. The heavy trickle
of blood came from nothing worse than
scalp wound. In Franklin township
they call Old Jim Pickett a strong man,
good man, but man Of iron. That
afternoon Old Jim's worst enemy saw
him stand in a roadside ditch and weep
with tears of joy. And to the glory OF
Shannon, be it said, he put his hand on
Pickett's shoulder and there were
tears in his own eyes.
Were going to town and get that
car for you, Fritzie," Old Jim said, the
first thing Monday morning"
Jaw, that's all right, dad" said Fritz.
II guess mother and Ethel and did go
it pretty strong with you"
Ethel, Miss Smith-what's she got
to do with it?" asked Old Jim.
"Oh, mother knew how you'd feel II
1t looked like Ethel had thrown me
over so Ethel started out to make you
jealous on my account"
"T get the first ride in the new car
don't 1, Fritz" the pretty girl asked.
"You bet she does. doesn't she dad?
And that heifer dad thought was going
to die, can double our money on 1t.
That ought to buy pretty good soli-
taire at the jewelers., the one you liked.
Ethel"
Huh, son!" said Old Jim in amaze
ment, 81 guess I'll have to ask you to
slow up again."

Advantage of Early Trainins.-A
Chicago business man is the father of
a youth of a most literal tendency.
Last spring, when the father left for
Europe, where he was to spend the
entire summer, he promised the lad
that, if he were to attain a certain
mark in his studies his reward would
be continental trip with his father.
The prospect Of such a trip stimu-
lated the lad to such a degree that he
attained a mark even higher than
that set him by his parent. He cabled
his father the one word, YES"
1t would seem, however, that the
father had forgotten his offer, for.
after thinking over the message, he
cabled back, "Yes, what?"
Then, in turn, the son was perplex-
ed. Finally after due reflection he
cabled to his father. Eyes, SIR

A Glinmer of Reason.-The grounds
around the asylum for the insane
were beginning to be beautiful. Two
women patients strolled across the
broad stretch Of lawn and seated
themselves on a rustic bench near q
large lilac bush. For a long time
neither spoke. Both seemed to be
absorbed in thought. At last one OF
them yawned and said:
"Oh, pshaw! I'm going back in
side"
"Why?" the other asked. Its very
pleasant out here"
What does a pleasant place
amount to If there's no man around ?"

She Brought Him to Time.-After he
had got right up to the point Of ask
ing the lady to name the happy day
he still had some fears and doubts.
He didn't know how old she was, and
he hated to ask her right out. He
didn't know whether he wanted to
get married right away, but he hated
to say so. He didn't want his friends
to learn Of the engagement, but he
was too much of a gentleman or
something to confess. So he said:
What a beautiful hand you have.
And how lovely an-er-appropriate
ring will look on that finger! What
month were you born in?"
THAT doesn't make a bit Of differ
ence," answered the girl. Never
mind about my birthstone. The ap-
propriate jewel for occasions like
these is always a diamond"

The Answer.-Henry James, who has
just completed his first critical review
of the younger school of modern En-
glish authors, was deprecating the
growing use Of slang.
Slang may have it's place" said
the noted novelist, but even at best
it is apt to be dangerously equivocal.
