from n box and went to the yard In
his night clothes. The first intima-
ton the family had OF the accident

awakened by the cries OF the little
fellow. Mr.. and Mrs. Young rushed
TO the yard and discovered that the
boy was In flames and he was car
ried into the house. when medical
aid was summoned. His gown was
burned entirely on and his whole
body was frightfully burned.

health for some time. The family are
pioneers OF Fremont county and re-
sided both at Coal Creek and Flor
ence for many years. The accident

One of the axioms of trade is that
"A low price is not an indication of
quality in fact it arouses a suspicion
as to quality.
There are two classes of automobile
manufacturers; the quantity producer,
who tries to make More Cars than
his competitor, He cuts prices, and
quality and tries every experiment to get
volume Of business. Then there is the
other kind that tries to make Better
Cars. He refuses to cheaper his
quality and must Of necessity get more
money for his product.
Which of these manufacturers do you prefer to
patronize? Which is the most likely to build the

BETTER LIE LOW.


The following incident is told by the
Philadelphia North American Re-
view:
"a West Philadelphia liquor dealer
recently consulted an acquaintance in
the real estate business about the ad-
visibility of transferring his license
from side street location to a Mar
ket street corner. The change would
involve an increased investment.
Stay where you are counseled the
real estate expert. You would get
more prominent situation by NOV
ing; but that, in my judgment, is just
what you should avoid. Better stay
where you're tolerated. If you try
to get out on Market street, you'll only
attract attention and stir up opposi-
ton. Public opinion is getting
mighty sensitive about the saloon
business, and you'd run the chance of
losing the place you've got
"'I guess you're right said the
saloon-keeper. I put the proposition
up to one of the biggest men in the
wholesale trade. Don't think of 1t,
he said. Don't invest another dollar.
And make all you can now, for inside
of ten years we'll all be put out of
business

Ex.sALooN KEEPER TEsTIFIEs.

A former Red Wing (Minn.) saloon
keeper, Mr.. Lehman, now engaged in
the clothing business in McHenry, N.
D., recently visited his old friends in
Red Wing. While disclaiming any
pretensions to being a total abstainer,
he gave some excellent testimony to
the value of prohibition.
"One reason why we are not anxious
to have a saloon in our town is that
it would draw the kind of people from
other places that we do not want; we
like a good, clean town"
ut Is said so often that prohibition
does not prohibit, Mr.. Lohman," re-
marked reporter. IF a man goes to
McHenry and wants drink, can be
get it?" mo, not for love nor money"
replied Mr.. Lehman with emphasis.
There is no liquor to be had in our
town except for medicinal purposes. +"
Then crowd of young men cannot
start out and have gloriously good
time in McHenry?" II should say they
cannot" replied Mr.. Lehman, "be-
cause there is no place where they can
get the liquor There has been no
bootlegging during the last few years.
The law is being enforced rigidly and
there is no evidence anywhere of
drunkenness"

A DIFFERENCE IN SIDES.
But the Young Rebel Couldn't Break
His Habit.

Among the prisoners taken during
the Civil War by the Northern men
was a young fellow who made the
lives of the boys in blue miserable by
constantly growing over their defeat
at the battle of Chickamauga.
Maybe we didn't eat you up at
Chickamauga," he would say to every
one with whom he came in contact,
until the soldiers could stand 1t no
longer, and reported the matter to
headquarters.
He was summoned before Gen.
Grant, who arraigned him for his con-
duct, and gave him his choice Of
swearing allegiance to the Union or
going to Northern prison. After
considering the matter for time the
young fellow decided to swear allegi-
ance to the Union. He took the oath
and was then dismissed. He started
away, but stopped as he reached the
door.
Say" he said.
WELL" said Grant, az he turned in
differently from the desk, having dis
missed the matter from his mind.
'T was just thinking" the young
rebel replied, they sure did give US
hell at Chickamauga."
