WAS A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
Man Impaled on Iron Crow Bar
Others Sustain Painful Injuries

One of the most sickening and dan
gerous accidents that has come to our
notice occurred near Folsom last We'd
nesday, when Sever Nundal, a young
! farmer, sustained injuries that may
battle surgical skill. Mr.. Nundal,
while sliding down the side Of grain
stack alighted upon an iron crow-bar,
on which he was impaled. He was
hurried to a Lacrosse hospital, Mar
tin Larsen taking him in his car.
While the internal injuries were found
| to be of serious nature, hopes are
entertained, by the surgeons, that the
| injured man may recover, and he IS
reported as doing well up to this time.
While working at the residence Of
John X. Spellum in this city. Carpen-
ter Lloyd Hall fell from scaffold
and suffered fractured LETT shoulder.
He also sustained other painful in
| iuries, the total of which viii prevent
him from pursuing his usual indus
trious occupation for a considerable
| length of time.
| The aged wife of Theodore Gorrell
of this city, fell while working about
/ her home, fracturing her collar bone.
| 1t was first thought that Mrs. Gorrell
could not recuperate from the pain
full shock However, she is reported
as making improvement, notwith-
standing that she is past eighty years
old.
Blacksmith Ed. Peterson carried his
probosis in a bandage, the result of
coming in contact with a balky Ford
starter. Ed. wears a more cheerful
smile than when he first encountered

Lamb and Mutton.

The dividing line between lamb and mutton is not based wholly upon age well-bred and well-fed animal. 12 or Is months old may still belong to tbc lamb class, while yearlng of rangy stock, which has been poorly fed yields meat of an inferior grade of mutton.
 The best grade of mutton consists of fat, heavy meat. Light and flabhv meat is not very palatable. Laml rarely is an economical meat to serve The relative difference in food value between lamb and mutton is the same as between veal and beef.
 The meat should be of deep red color and firm to the touch; the fat creamy, white and solid. Mutton ab. sorbs odors easily. so it must be kent in cool place under proper condi. tions.

Beware of limitations.

The entire machine is mounted on truck wheels to make it easy to move to the trees or logs, and from cut to cut on log aoithout stopping the en- zine. For moving on the road, the truck wheels are placed parallel with the sllids and the rig hauled straight ahead. The wheels turn on a two way spindle. You do not have to take them off, but can change direction of wheel travel by merely taking out pin.
 The Ottawa can be fitted for saw ing down trees. It cuts level with surface of ground, thereby getting all the timber and leaving no stumps sticking up. An automatic friction clutch stops the saw in case of undue resistance. Two men can fall forty to fifty trees a day in ordinary timber.
 The whole outfit is compact, simple, durable against a lifetime of hard wear. It sells for low price and is fully guaranteed for reliable opera ton in the hands of every one who has trees to cut down and logs to work up
 Full information and low factory price to you can be had simply by ad- dressing the Ottawa Mfg. Company, 2724 Wood St., Ottawa, Kansas.

Ghickasna, Okla.-Mrs. J. W. Walker recently said this: 'We use Black Draught as a family medicine and think it is the only liver medicine made. My husband makes it up and uses itas a tonic as we'll as a laxa- tive. I use it for headache, sour stom- lach, full heavy feeling after meals, which I suppose is indigestion, and it certainly does me lot of good.
 My husband had some kind of stom- ach trouble--we don't know just what. It would strike him just any time in the day and cramp or pain him just terribly bad. Someone told him how to make tea of the Black-Draught, which he did. It did him so much good, it removed the cause and cured tim. Since then we have praised the Black-Draught to our friends, and gladly do so."

READING THE BIBLE ALOUD
Much Truth in Charge That Beautiful Text Is Too Often Interpreted in
 Unintelligent Manner.

It is strange that the reading of the Bible aloud in an acceptable manner should present-apparently-almost in superable difficulties, remarks writer ir the London. Spectator. It is writ ten in the finest English of the finest period. It concerns subjects of uni versal and undyng interest. It is en- deared to every listener by tradition and recollection But the evidence proves it is hard to read well. Men especially interested in philosophy and religion, especially trained in Hebrew ard Greek literature. specially anxious to bring the truths of Scripture home 10 their audience, read it for the most part in abominable fashion.
 We cannot insult them by supposing their weekly task an easy one. We cannot on the other hand, deny that the Old and New Testaments offer great scope for fine reading. The task of the curate at lectern is like the task of the executant before the piano. The one has great literature before him |; tha other great music. The audience waits for his interpretation. As rule with many and marked exceptions, the curate runs through his work in such a mechanical and uninterested manner as would empty concert hall if int tateo by his brother artists. He reads heroic passages as though they were dull parish notices, arguments as cut. and-dried snippets of dogmatism, ant sbrewd proverbs as sacred poetry.
