Victim of Accident in No Hurry to Be

In collision between and auto and
a load of hay, the driver of the latter
was projected into the village road on
his head and lay there semi-conscious
until two occupants of the more speedy
vehicle lifted him out of the dust and
started to carry him toward the side
walk.
"Shall we take him into that under
takers shop there, or to the drugstore
farther down the street?" asked one
Of the burden bearers.
The victim raised his head with
alacrity and vociferated:
Take me to the drug store first,

Grow Rubber In United States.

Heretofore it was supposed that
Mexico, with its Guayule rubber-bear-
ing shrub, had a monopoly on this
continent of the production of rubber.
The survey now being made by the
University of California, however has
located more than twenty varieties of
bushes, five of them far surprising in
quality, if not quantity, the Guayule,
wholly within the United States prop
er. Already shrubs estimated to con-
tain more than 300,00O,00O pounds
of best quality rubber have been large

Hiram, want to ask you favor.
ITS Christmas day in two days time Are
you going to give the men Christmas-a proper

Hapshott opened his mouth and laughed, a
laugh that was pregnant with cynissm
Give them a ChristmaS-a proper Christmas
BY which l suppose you mean holiday and
Christmas fare? Why, lass they wouldn't know
what to do with 1t if they had it. Besides, we
aren't fitted for Christmas meals. There's
brace of chickens in the coop that'll make our
dinner that day-Ive been saving them up on
purpose; but beyond the pig forard-"
"Gve them proper Christmas, Hiram" plead
ed Mrs. Hapshott earnestly. "It's wonderful
day ashore, though sad one. That Is, for me-"
she amended. 81 always get thinking of the Child
and Of how happy His mother must have been,
though she lost Him, too; she lost Him."
She thought the wound was fairly healed, but
the hot tears gushed to her faded, pathetic eyes,
Hapshott himself turned away for he knew the
ache at her heart; it companioned the void at his
own. ..

for she of sadness.
She knew the cause of that sadness, as did her
husband, but it was never mentioned between
them by tacit agreement. Twenty-Five years of
married life had resulted in a fine endurance Of
martial afectiOn-the shippers long absences
from home might have accounted for that in some
measure. The two were good friends, and bick-
ering between them was thing unknown. There
had been child-very many years ago. but it
only raised its voice in the great world
and before the mothers heart had quickened in
response the voice was stilled forever. The Lord
had given; He had also taken away and Mrs.
Hapshott endeavored to say BLESSED be the name

the saying was hard
