A Ford car, driven by a Mr. Miller of Decatur, was badly wrecked last evening when it struck a bridge on the river road, northwest of Berne. The driver was trying to turn out for another car, swerving out too far and struck the bulkhead of the concrete bridge headon. The shock of the impact damaged the bridge badly and shattered the car, but did no damage to any of the occupants of the car. With the driver were two ladies. It is considered a miracle that no one was injured.—Berne Witness. Very few people are satisfied with the work they are doing. Many of them have aspirations for something better, more congenial.

It is only those who dare to follow the guiding star of destiny by encouraging and cultivating these aspirations and ambitions. who ultimately move forward to Sure of Success,” by Hugo Masters, in November Physical Culture.

By uicans of a rope and pulleys the sling can be raised or lowered, while the supporting arm permits it to swing from aide io side.
