Guy yonder, whom observe every
day at eleven-thirty sitting on his
Front Porch and watching us go by.
Then the train came TO stop, and
l alighted; and there came to meet
me lad in a Ford to take me TO the
Farm House where was to lodge;
and behold, it was the house of the
Farmer whom i had seen sitting upon
his Front Porch. And / tarried with
him seven days.
And upon his front gate was sign
whereon was written:
THIS PLACE FOR SALE
And / spake to the farmer concern
ing it. And / said, Are not thine
Acres ample, and are not Prices
Good? Wherefore wouldest thou sell
thy Farm, and go thou knowest not
where?
And he answered, i know Mighty
Well where l would go. would move
to Smiths Junction and be a Brake
man on the Railroad.
But spake to him saying, Smiths
Junction is a Smoky Place, and like
wise is it Noisy. 1t hath little but
Passing Trains, and the Grass there
in Groweth not, nor are the Trees
thereof Green by. reason of the
smoke.
But, he said, / have had enough of
the Grass, and am not as Nebuchad-
nezzar who fed thereon; / would be
even as that insolent Brakeman who
goeth by here every other day at
eleven-thirty and back again on the
next at fourteen. He hath indeed a
Soft Snap. When it raineth, he is
not wet, and when it is Cold he suf-
fereth not He is not troubled by
Weeds, and when he heareth of Hog
Cholera he laugheth. And every
month he Draweth Down Sixty Five
Perfectly Good Dollars wherewith he
goeth to the Movies on the nights he
spendeth at the end Of his run away
from his Home.
And l mediated much of these
things ;and l said in my heart that
it was not well for every man thus
to envy his neighbor, and / thought
it better that the Brakeman should
stick to his Brake and the Farmer to
his Farm; for God hath appointed to
every man his work, and to every man
his burden, and to every man his
joys. And the world hath few Soft
Snaps to those who know the Bust
ness from the Inside.

sultation, examination, advice free,

Parable OF the brakeman and Farmer
Now l went on Vacation; and as

stood upon the Platform of the Train
with my Grip in my hand. And the
Brakeman he also stood beside me as
the train slowed down. And we pass
ed great Farm, as the Train entered
the Town, and the Farmer sat on his
Front Porch and watched the train
go by. And the Brakeman spake
concerning the farmer, and he said,
Behold that Lucky Guy hath little to
do but to come in for his dinner about
Half Past Eleven, and sit and watch
this Train. He hath an hundred and
threescore Acres, and Fat Cattle and
many swine, the price whereof riseth
continually; and at night he jumpeth
into his Ford and goeth whithersoever

Old Train from Smiths Junction to

Halloween Deyiltry

Howard City.-Signs were torn
from their mornings, village and
township scrapers and other road ma
chinery were scattered to the four
winds, separator was placed upon
the walk in front of Herold's store,
telephone poles were left lying all
over town and the deuce was to pay
generally here Tuesday night in the
community celebration of Halloween.
If the town had such an example of
cooperation at other times perhaps
some things worth while could be ac-
complished. Janitor Marenolla, at the
school house, to protect the school
property, was locked inside the build
ing and so far as was evident little eff
fort was made to stop the dance.

Narrow Escape from Serious Injury


st. Louis.-Sunday evening George
Long and daughter, Miss Lucille, were
driving home from Ithaca. When a
few miles out they met an auto with
headlights glaring full in Mr.. Longs
face.
He dimmed his lights and turned
close to the ditch at the roadside, but
the oncoming driver did not dim his
lights and seemed to be on the point
of running into the Long auto. Mr..
Long turned out little more and the
machine went on its side, in a four
foot ditch, throwing both occupants
out.
Fortunately he was driving slowly
and they were not injured, but the
windshield was broken and the top
badly bent. In fact, had it not been
that the top was IN both Mr.. and Miss
Long might have been seriously in
jured.
The driver of the other auto stop
ped and claimed that had dimmed his
lights, but other parties corroborated
Mr.. Long in his statement that the
DINNER had not been used.
The offenders were from Carson
City.

Clinton Fears Rabies
Horse Toboggans

Hastings.-Animals as well as hui
man beings do curious things some
times. Several days ago four-year-
old gray gelding belonging to Lee
Fuller, Of Carlton, suddenly rushed
up the stairs in the barn to the hay
loft, nine feet above There was no
way Of getting the animal down so
Mr.. Fuller tied him to a beam and
summoned DR.. Van Velsor. The
horse was cast and trussed up like a
turkey. Plenty of hay was placed on
the stairway and the animal slid
down stairs as easily as if he were on
a toboggan slide. He was uninjured
by his experience.

Lowell Harry Kingsley's horse
was killed in collision with an auto
mobile in front of the Gregory gar
age Saturday evening and his little
girl had narrow escape from injury,
if not death.
Kingsley with his wife and child
were driving into town from the east
and were on the north side of the
street. Just in front of the garage
the horse was struck by car driven
by Jake Yoder of Bovine, which
swerved suddenly to enter the build
ing which is also on the north side
of the street.
The horses neck was broken and
the animal fell dead. The little girl
was thrown over the dash board and
was picked up uninjured from be-
tween the animals legs.
Fortunately Yoder was alone in
the car and no one was injured by the
buggy thill which punctured the front
seat cushion by the drivers side.
Responsibility for the accident will
probably be determined later. No
was made at the time of
the accident and Mr.. Kingsley plac-
ed his case in the hands of S. p.
Hicks for adjustment.

Young Girl Drank Nux Vomica
st. Johns.-Flying into fit of an
ger because her mother scolded her,
Ruby Hawkins, aged IA, tried to COM
nit suicide. A doctor was called at
once and the child is now improving.
The girl lives with her mother at the
home of Charles Pate, on Clinton
avenue.
The girl has been accustomed from
early childhood, says her mother, to
fly into fits of uncomfortable anger
over the most trivial things. When in
such moods, she would announce her
intention to commit suicide, saying
that she was in everybody's way and
would rather be out of the world. Her
mother had become so used to hearing
this story that she had no idea that
Ruby seriously intended to commit
suicide when, becoming Infatuated,
she grabbed the bottle containing nux
vomica, drug yielding strychnine.
A boarder at the house, however, no
ticed that the girl drank the contents
of the bottle, about three or four
drains, and a doctor was notified at
once. Although for a time, it was
doubtful whether the girl would re-
cover, she is much improved at the
present time.
