aid, Became Frightened and Was
Drowned in Second Mill Tuesday
Morning.

A. d. Hardy and his little four
year-old daughter had very narrow
escape fom drowning Tuesday morn
ing about 11.30 o'clock when the bay
stallion driven by Mr.. Hardy became
frightened as he was coming along
the causeway over Second, Mill and
plunged into the water. Mr.. Harpy
Dy unusual presence of mind quickly
extricated himself from the buggy
and standing on the top, he waited
until his little daughter came to the
top. when he seized her and swan
out with her. Meanwhile the horse
houndered into still deeper water and
was drowned.
Mr.. Hardy stated that he so fully
realized the close call that he and his
child had, that he could not regret
the loss of the horse, although he was
a very valuable animal, since he and
his daughter got out safely.
The accident took lpace about II. 80
O'Clock in the morning when Mr.. Har-
by was coming into town. For some
unknown cause the horse became
frightened when nearly in front of the
mill and before Mr.. Hardy could con-
troll him, the animal had gone down
the embankment into the water,
which is about twelve or more feet
deep at this point. Mr.. Hardy went
down in the buggy. but succeeded in
getting out and on top of it without
going under the water, but his little
daughter went under and he caught
her as she came to the surface. To-
day he was receiving congratulations
upon his escape.
The stallion lost by Mr.. Hardy was
Monte Christie Mcdonald, a thorough
bred animal secured by Mr.. Hardy
from Kentucky about two years ago
for breeding purposes. The horse

Now for the Porch

Now is the proper time of the year to
begin to plan the summer porch There
is no part of the house which offers so
many opportunities for unique and attrac-
tive furnishing. And if you are forced to
spend the summer in the city the few dol
lars invested In making the porch COM
Portable will be we'll used.
Don't get a regular shrubbery of useless
and siclSly looking plants, a few hardy
ones are more to be desired, Take care of
the greens, If you have them at all.
Wicker furnishings are more reasonable
for the summer 1t will pay you to get
good articles at the first because the
cheap styles fade out very quickly. You
can make very dainty cretonne covers for
chairs, swing or table yourself out of
lowered, figured or the popular black-and-
white material. The aforementioned is
very smart just now. but 1t is likely to
be oVerdone.

And dost PREJUDICE thy bliss, and spoil my

And thy relenting heart would kindly
warm.
o, IL thy pride did not thy joys control,
What world of loving wonders shouldst

For II I saw thee once transformed in me.
Then In thy bosom would pour my soul;
Then all my thoughts should in thy WIS.,

And If that aught mlschanced thou

And whilst we thus should make our sor.
