In q Prison Cell
By Mrs. Jennie Thompson.

ny WIS. JCllllC uOulpSOn.
God pity the wretched prisoner
In his lonely cell today.
Whatever the sin that tripped him,
God pity him still, pray.
Only strip of sunshine,
Cleft by rusty bars,
Only patch of azure,
Only cluster of stars.
Only barren future
To starve his hopes upon,
Only singing memories,
Of past that's better gone.
Only scorn from women,
Only hate from men,
Only remOrSe to whisper
Of life that night have been.
If a steadier purpose then
Unto your life is given,
A stronger will to conquer,
A smoother path to heaven.
If when temptations meet you,
You crush them with smile,
If you can conquer passion,
And keep your lips from guile.
Then bless the hand that cradled you,
Remembering as you go,
That it was not your endeavor
That shaped your nature SO,
And sneer not at the weakness
Which made brother fall,
For the hand that helps the fallen,
God loves the best of all.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
Local People Had Close Call
When A Runaway Team
Crashed Into Auto Truck
Mrs. Gardner Injured.

What might easily have re-
.ulted in a fatal accident hap
nened southeast of town Sunday
evening when a runaway team
belonging to Henry Uhllng
crashed into O. D. Hamlin's auto
truck, fatally injuring one of the
horses and hurting the other,
and severely bruising Mrs. J. L.
Gardner.
The cause of the accident was
substantially as follows. Mr..
Hamlin had been called that
evening to go out with his auto
truck and bring in the Nc
Ioughlin car which had got
sailed near Fem. He was ac-
companied by his wife and Mrs.
Gardner, Gus Zodrow and Ches-
ter Thompson, the latter going
aong to steer the dead car. In
the meantime Mr.. Uhling was
returning home from town and
the king bolt dropped out of his
rig near the slaughter house.
The rig held together, however,
until after turning south near
the Huff farm. At this time the
Hamlin car was coming over the
hill south of the twin houses 1.-THE
Uhling and Seyller homes) and
the lights confused the driver of
the team who thought the car
was much nearer. AS he turned
out of the road onto rough
ground the front wheels of the
rig came out from beneath the
bed and away went the team
down the road. By this time
the auto had reached the rough
strip of road just this side of the
Uhling farm and was travelling
at low speed and preparing to
ascend the hill. With the lights
shining against the hill it was
impossible to locate the team
until the frantic animals were
almost on them. Mr.. Hamlin at
once turned the car from the
road but could not get out of the
way in time and one of the hors-
es ran full speed into the ma
chine, breaking down one fend-
er, tearing off one end of the
seat and knocking Mrs. Gardner
back onto the platform of the
truck and rendering her uncon-
scious, and breaking off two
heavy hardwood stakes from the
corner and side of the truck.
The animals shoulder was prac.
tically torn off and it had to be
killed, while the other horse was
thrown heavily and hurt. Mrs
Gardner was picked up and soor
regained consciousness but wa'
quite badly bruised about the
arm and was confined to her bet
for day from the shock. GU
Zodrow was thrown to tn
ground but was not hurt.
The accident was one of th'
kind where no one was to blam'
and all are congratulating them
selves that it resulted no NOR
seriously than it did. Had tn
team struck the car squarely i
front the horses would hav
been carried onto the body o
the car and Mr.. and Mrs. Hamli
and Mrs. Gardner, who were on
cupying the seat, could not hav
escaped death or serious injur!
