Gossip! The very name has nasty
sound. You'll find her sneaking into
the stores, the school room, the churches
and societies. You'll find her mas
querading under the name of friend
ship. You'll find her leaning over the
back fence or edging in between hus-
band and wife. No place is sacred to
her. She blackens the character of
men and women and of innocent girls.
She ruins the careers of young men.
Suppose man or woman is not as you
are or as you may think they should be.
Do you know you are right? Let other
people think as they believe they should
think, whether it is about politics or
religion or morals. Don't gossip about
them. He'll may be paved with good
intentions, but its supporting pillars
are the gossipers.

New Mail Boxes.

The postmaster general has issued an
order standardizing rural and city route
mail boxes. The specifications adopted
provide for boxes in two sizes, the one
49, inches long,, 81 inches wide and p
inches high, and the other 233 inches
long, II inches wide and IA high. The
smaller of the two boxes is slightly
larger than the box now in use, though
in general respects the requirements
for this new box and for the old ones
are much the same. The second box is
much larger than those now in use on
rural routes and is designed to supply
the needs of patrons who are regular
mailers of parcel post and find the
present box too small for their purpose
The new specifications for both types
of boxes provide for coin holders to as
sist carriers in the collection of money
left by patrons for. postage. All mail
boxes put in service after July |, 1916,
must conform to the above require
ments.
The box must be we'll painted with a
coat of aluminium bronze, covering all
outside surfaces except the flag signal.
The latter, which will serve to give no
tice whether the box contains mail for
collection, must be painted on both
sides with two coats of red paint.

GAINESVILLE Girl Killed by Italian,

Maude Lawrence, aged IA, who was
shot by an Italian Friday afternoon,
died at Mercy hospital on Saturday.
The bullet passed entirely through her
body just over the heart.
The Italian was boarder at the
Lawrence home and evidently had
love affair with the girl. AS the girl
came across the back lot she was fired
on. She reached the house, a few steps
away, and fell on the floor in the kitch-
en-. She was hurried to the hospital,
but did not regain consciousness. No
one saw the shooting and the man mys-
teriously disappeared. He had been
employed on the Northwestern road as
a section man, rand before shooting the
girl had changed his clothes and put on
a better suit. His grips were packed
as though he meditated flight. Letters
from the Lawrence girl in which she
asked for money were found.

Fatal Auto Accident Near Windsor.

Two were killed outright and a third
escaped without scratch when heavy
Dodge touring car overturned on the
road from Windsor, half mile from
Token Creek, at o'clock Thursday
night
Julius Schimming, AZ, and Leonard
Thompson, "a, both of Windsor, Wis,
are dead. Ovey Anderson of Windsor,
who was sitting in the rear of the car,
escaped even minor injury.
Anderson could not account for the
accident. It is believed Schimming,
who owned and drove the car, lost the
road while going fairly fast. There
will be no inquest,
The trio started or the fatal ride
from Waunakee. They were going to
Sun Prairie to see basketball game in
which Schimming's son was to play
with team from DeForest There is
slight bend in the road short dis
lance before the scene of the accident
is reached. While turning this, it is
believed that Schimming drove straight
ahead.
The heavy car pinioned the two vic
Tins under it. Anderson jumped an
instant before the car turned. Schim-
ming apparently suffocated for Thomp-
sons body lay across his face. There
were few marks on the bodies.
Farmers from the surrounding coun-
try fastened to the scene. 1t required
eight men to lift the car from the
bodies. Anderson attempted it alone
but had to run for help. The men were
dead when the weight was released.
While Anderson was frantically en-
deavoring to extricate his companions,
he heard Scnimming say, seFor Gods
sake get me out of here; I'm choking. =
But he was helpless and Schimming
died while Anderson was looking for
aid. Thompson evidently died instantly.
Schimming is survived by wife and
two children and two brothers, August
and Henry of Madison, and third
brother, Edward of Windsor. Thomp-
son lived with his mother, Mrs. Julia
Thompson, widow. The accident oc-
, Cured on the line which divides the
towns of Burke and Windsor.
