Miss Mary, though blind, is able to keep up with her classes in college; in fact, do -s her own sewing, knows colors by the sense of tough and walked about the Bowen house after the first guidance almost as freely as any member of the Bowen family.

When the two cars went to pass, Dr. Starkweather’s car began to skid into a deep ditch on the grade and rather than turn over in the ditch he whirled his car across the road and the Keller car hit it almost broadside bending the frame, puncturing the crank case, damaging the axles and r ‘ting it out of commission generally, ihe Keller car escaped with a bent fender and minor damages. None of the occupants of the car were hurt. —Columbia City Mail.

Visitors at the Van Wert fair were much interested in an unusual attrac tion, being that of tw<f girl babies, two years old, joined together. They were joined so that they faced each other, and, were perfectly healthy and perfectly normal in other ways. They were much interested in a host of toys that was given them, but it is said, had a lively little scrap with each other over cue toy that both wanted. They were born in Cuba, of American parentage. Cows do not have cast iron stomachs no more than human beings and when old Bessie endeavors to eat safety pins, wire and nails, a very digestable food (?) i|’s a sure sign the cow is going to die. She did. A post mortem was held by Drs. Bricker ami Hulett tfnd the junk removed. The cow belonged to Mrs. M. Albright, east cf the city, and the loss is keenly felt by her. The incident is but a lesson for people; "Be < artful of what you eat.’ —Kendallville Sun.

"Fortunes of War” The present European conflict fairly staggers the imagination. The tremendous armies and nations involved, the great loss of life, the stupendous destruction of property, all are so great as to nearly defy our comprehension. And there is still another side. The little French girl who mourns a lover at the front finds herself jobless through the closing of the glove factory which has given her employment. The German hausfrau is troubled because of havoc Russian Cossacks are making of the wheat and barley intended for Prussian bread. Young Sandy Mclntosh can’t go to war, because he is crippled, but sits on the doorstep. The mill in which he worked is now closed. The mill hands are giving their attention to the business of war. Meanwhile, the world’s work goes on. Who will shoulder the burden of commerce while thes? neighbors make war on each other? Who indeed can, unless it be the people of these United States of America. Will it be worth while? Shall we get adequate compensation for our efforts if we put aside our doubts and fears and vaccinations and buckle down to work? Read what this great Englishman wrote about it but a short time ago. . “A great war in Europe will cnabl the United Stales to sell its crops in places which will give a much greater income than if there was no war. Almost, every industry will derive more or less advantage. Should the Ameiiean people take advalnage of the golden opportunity afforded them by the outbreak of war, it will mean not diminished, but increased prosperity for the United States."
