Where is Thy Sting?

Aunt Sallie was paying a visit to
the family for the first time in years
and had told them how rude she
thought little Willie was. In similar
omplimentary vein, the family told
her just how much Willie resembled
her. But the edge was taken out OF
the compliment when all of them
heard Willie say, as he went out into
the dark hall on his way to bed:
''Go on, grab me, OF bogey man.
don't care. They say look just like
Aunt Sallie.'

Convicted Self.

A very nice story the prisoner was
telling the judge of an ottense
charged against him of which he was
wholly guiltless-he man against
whom there had never been breath
of suspicion.
"Prisoner, pardon me moment,
said the Judge, you must speak a
little louder; cannot catch what you
say. What was your last sentence?'
stSix months, your honor was the
amazing reply.

minutes it looked like we were to go
down six or eight feet into creek.
1t is not always that such places
are on unimportant roads. In fact the
first place mentioned was on main
travelled road between county seats,
and automobiles used 1t on long dis
lance travel. In the main 1t was fine
road well kept, but there were two or
three places that were really danger
GUS, though this was the worst OF all.
Wherever there is a place at the side
of dirt road that has much travel,
that is deep enough to upset car
that went down into it, some kind Of
protection should be made to keep cars
from skidding off. We are not consid-
ering the quick dash to one side from
careless driving or going too fast In
mud, but the unavoidable skid that Is
bound to occur now and then. Our
roads should be safe In muddy weather

DEMAND FOR SAFE ROADWAYS
Some Kind of Protection Should 30
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skiddinq Off Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on human
life? To judge by some of the roads
over the country 1t is not much. Lives
are lost many times where few dol
lars or a little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taking a
ride along them OH rainy day in an
auto would not be such hair-raisipg
experience as is often the case now,
says writer In Successful Farmer.
Recently friend of mine was driv-
ing along road within a half mile Of
small town and ran into ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally, though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet Of the
roadway, and there was not even
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
off and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
OWHeu III every part Oh the country
and it is impossible to always keep
off roads when they are slippery, II is
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them In a condi-
ton that would make an accident un.
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
ing the last two years l have been
riding around considerably and we
have been in places where it was very
dangerous driving and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
to avoid them. In one case we crossed
a bridge after light shower, and on
the far side found that II had cared
away to within six Inches 81 the road
though that was solid. For rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road
with nothing to check slide into 1t.
A. very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge. Our car could not make
the hill, and we stalled, and had to
back some. "'he least bit of skidding
would have been certain to have car

WILLIAM FARNUM
 COMING TO PALACE

William Farnum is a violinplaying hero in Heart Strings" at the Pal ace Thursday, instead of being the usual gun-shooting kind. It's quite a change for "Bill' but one which he seems to enjoy nevertheless. He has most exciting time of it, though as his violin leads him into all sorts of adventures. and he spends most of his time. when he isn't playing it.. in getting fair ladies out of ticklish situations and fighting the wrongs of his little sister. Whether you agree with 'Bill' or not as to his methods one will have to admit that his in tentions are all right anyway. Per sonally one don't believe that two wrongs ever made a right. and if one had been in Bills place he would have put bullet or two through the betrayer of his sister, instead of forcing him to marry her However, that's neither here nor there. It's an interesting story.
