Thinning makes trees live longer

SAM PHILLIPS HURT

Sam Phillips, one of the Stars most
reliable carrier boys was knocked
down yesterday, severely bruised and
had a narrow escape from being SER
iously hurt.
1t is the custom of the Star to send
couple of papers every day to
Gainesville on the train that leaves at
40 p. m. The paper was just about
one minute late yesterday afternoon,
and as the train pulled out, Sam, in
q flash of the genuine newspaper
srdrit, volunteered to ride after it on
his wheel and hand the papers to the
conductor or brakeman on the rear
platform.
He jumped on his bicycle and start
ed off like small comet, and would
have made it all right, but at the
Broadway crossing found himself
next to a dray which was, just turn
ing into the avenue. He tried to
avoid the dray, but the handlebars of
his bicycle worked stiffly and he
crashed into the rear wheel of the
dray. The force of the collision
knocked him off the bicycle and threw
him to the ground with considerable
force.
He was picked up and taken home
and doctor called in. The physician
found he was badly bruised but in no
danger. He is doing very well today,
tho very sore.
Sam began carrying papers for the
Star when he was about as big as
fuH-grown rabbit, and has been with
it ever since. He is a very faithful
and reliable boy; the Stars readers
along his route are always glad to see
him and seldom complain of missing
paper. His accident was the result
OF his desire to oblige and do a SER
wee for his paper, both traits that we
can understand and highly appreciate.
It's our belief that this boy who is so
faithful in small things will one day
be tried and not found wanting in
places of high responsibility and
trust.
