Gus injury he sustained. Virgie
and Miss Cole only received
slight injuries, such as skinned
elbows and bruised ankles.
But Miss Birdie Burke became
excited and jumped from the
passing wagon and broke a small
bone in her left arm. Olen's
pony continuedito run for short
distance, dragging the upturned
buggy. After breaking loose she
ran into another buggy, jumping
across it between the dashboard
and seat. Fortunately all the
occupants were out except Miss
Fanny Whatley and she received
only bruise near the ankle.
The blind pony smashed up one
wheel of this buggy and while
entangled in it was caught and
further injuries were prevented.
My wife and l were only a
short distance behind when the
accident occurred.
The wounded were hastily car
ried to friends house near by
and medical aid called immedi-
ately. The two with broken
bones were bandaged and carried
TO their respective homes. Both
are doing fairly well and we hope
to see them out among their
friends again in a few weeks.

LONESOME LIFE
SUDDENLY ENDED
JNO. @. CUSHMAN OF THIS
COUNTY
DIES NEAR HIS Mud HUT
Good Bank Account Did Not
Keep Him From Stinting
Himself.

When John g. Cushmau, IS,
a hermit who for six years had
lived in a mud hut, Z miles south
east of Washington, failed to go to
a neighbours spring for water last
Saturday the neighbor investi-
gated and found him dying near
the hut. He never regained CON
seriousness and died late in the
afternoon.
Cushman came here from Indi-
ana. He bought a small piece of
land in the woods and with stick
and mud built hut eight feet
square. 1t has no window and
no floor. A scaffold in one cor
nor, covered with leaves, was his
bed, and homemade stool and
a small cook stove his only other
equipment. He prepared and
ate his food from one skillet. He
ate only mush made of beans
and cornmeal mixed with lard.
Cushman once told a neighbOr
his expenses for food and clothes
were limited to $3.50 per year.
Cushman had $1,000 in Hope
bank and is said to have more
money in Indiana banks.

A CORRECTION

Washington, Route 1, Sept 10.
Dear Editor
In last weeks issue of h e
Telegraph you published an ac-
count of the runaway at DeAnn
in which my son Glen was injur-
ed. But from the account you
gave, I'm sure you were wrongly
informed as to the nature of the
case.
After the Sunday morning ser
vice we were going out east of
DeAnn to dine with friends.
Many others were travelling along
with US, going with US in the
same direction. My son Glen
with his sister, Virgie, and their
friend, Miss Alva Cole, were in
the fourth vehicle from the
front. The blind pony which
they were driving was pacing
along at moderate gate when
two wagons of young people at
tempted to pass them, one on
each side. The blind pony be-
came frightened at so much
noise and was hard. to manage,
but Glen had succeeded in keep
ing her in the middle of the road
until the breast yoke of the left
hand wagon struck their buggy
and knocked the top and seat off,
together with its occupants.
This wagon then ran over Olens
right leg just above the ankle,
breaking both bones straight
across. This was the only seri-

LATEST IDEA IN SCHOOLING
Travelling Museum Is Something HAT
F., Gives New Import to Things
: Scholastic.

A travelling museum that goesto
the public schools, with illustraffe
material at the time it is neededIis
successfully used by the st. Louis
schools, according to a bulletin s.
sued by the United States bureau Of
education.
The travelling museum has 1000
individual and duplicate collections,
1000 lantern slides, 5000 stereO-
scopic views and 1000 colored charts
and photographs. The school authori-
ties make a point of the fact that
there is nothing in the travelling mu-
scum which cannot be used in direct
connection with the work of the
schools. 1t contains no curiosities
nor abnormalities-no freaks Of ma
ture.
The main purpose of the museum
is to bring facts home to the pupil;
as realistically as possible. Thus by
means of the cotton exhibit the chill
dren are taken to the cotton fields
where they study and paint, thu
method of preparing the soil, thu
harvesting; to the cotton gin, where
the seed is separated from the lint
to the market, to see the baling an(
shipping; to the cotton factories
where the lint is spun and wovel
into fabrics; and to the refneries, t.
learn how cottonseed oil, oil cake
cottolene and soap are made.

The composition is "A short one and
