School Child Knocked Down
by Auto

What came very near resulting in
death was an accident that befelI
12-year old Evelyn Hauser, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Hauser of 317
w. Russell street, Monday morning
when the fender of an automobile
driven by Miss Ruth Freeman struck
the child. who was on her way to
the South Main Street school, knock
ing her down, the wheels missing
her body as the heavy car passed
over her. DR.. w. j. McAnally i'm
mediately gave first aid to the little
one which sustained a badly bruised
hip and was vomiting blood which
led to the belief that possibly inter-
nal injuries had resulted. No bones
were broken, only from the fact that
the wheels missed her little body,
Or this story would be far different
to the already distressed parents.

1918

Unfortunately for this prophecy
like Mother Shipton's, the last and
most important part DID NOT come
true The year 1913 came and
apassed, still the German empire was
fzon the job Any port in a storm.
and it might be said as the war
started in 1918 il. WAS the last year
sof the German empire. ''''-S=-ss
The japanese have an old proph-
ecy as follows: When men fly like
birds ten great nations will 60 to war
against one another and the whole
world will join in one great battle.
Don't that sound up-to-daee
An old French prophecy says that
in the Goth century the anti christ
would appear on the earth in the
person Of a Lutheral monarch CKai-
ser Wilhelm, of course), who would
claim TO be inspired of God, but
whose crueIties aud treachery would
prove him to be an agent of the evil
one and would have to be put down
by league of all the nations. Such
alleged prophecies are usually apo
cryphal, and have been composed to
fool the people and are dated back
many years to add to their sisnifi-
canoe.
Another old French prophecy at,
tributed to a monk called Johannes
is also being widely quoted at this
time. This prophecy says that Rus
sia is to invade Germany from end
TO end, the kaiser is to be cursed by
the pope and die demented and
alone and his empire is to be divid-
ed into e states. Russia will drive
the Turk from Europe and the kai-
ser will several times ask for peace
but this will never be granted him
until he is crushed like straw on the
threz hing floor. Surely there IS no
prospect now that Russia is to in
wade Germany from end to end and
drive the Turks from Europe, but
Fra Johnnes is wisely vague about
the date this prophecy is to be full
filled. He steers clear of breakers,
as they may occur at any time, in
whole or pa,t. later on.
Now in truth, would it not be a
better plan and a lot more satisfac-
tory to get right down to business
and tell us what is to happen and
when it will happen. so we could
have something definite to 60 by.
but all the prophecies are SO ex'
tremely obscure and Shadowy that |
it is easy to see they do not know
what they are talking about, How
ever it is not the prophets who are
the fools so much as the people who
believe them, and The Review is al |
ways ready and willing to dispense
the truth on any subject of general
interest, and by so doing we voice
the sentiment of the best people on
earth. Our business is MOTTO print
a newspaper for profit only out we
do seriously consider the influence
Of good literature and try to be as
far reaching for good as We can and
if the people will insist upon being
fooled by lot of lies it is not going
to be the fault of this paper.

o'clock this morning. Mrs. Upson's
death was due to the infirmities of age.
She had been in failing health for some

publican this afternoon.

Boy Maroo,,ed For
Hours Following
Daredevil Stunt

Daredeviltry on the part of 16-year-
old Marion Grower grandson and
adopted son Of ELI Grower. 704 West
Linn etreet, resulted In the lad being
loading platform along siding in the
NJ. & st. l.. property just south Of the
master mechanics office off Center
street.
Hearing of the high water, and want
ing to see the sights, young Grower,
who for a month has possessed n
pony, rode the animal down Center
street. Seeing the sights from the
high ground wasn't sufficient for the
youngster who drove his pony into
submerged Center street. Displaying
even a more venturesome spirit the
lad drove the horse Off the grade, to
see how deep the water was. He found
out.
Before he knew what had happened
young Grower and his mount were In
over their heads. The pony came up,
floundering In the deep water, and try
ing to gain foothold. The lad clung
to HIM and in no time the current had
swung the animal toward the east. In
less time than 1t takes to tell 1t the
horse and rider were thrown against
the loading platform, and the boy
gained his feet. However, the horse
was not so fortunate, and the poor
animal was standing in water up to
his neck where the rider had tied him
to a post of the platform.
Young Grower apparently con-
sidered the escapade a good joke, for
he was walking back and forth on the
platform this afternoon, waving has
hands to friends whom he recognized
among the onlookers.
If the water subsidies by evening II
is likely that Grower and the pony
can be removed to dry ground.
