The wound Is healing and everything is favorable for her complete recovery. A conductor and a brakemah on a Montana railway differ as to the propejpronounciation of the name Eurella.

B. W. Douglass, state entomologist, when- successor has been named in the person of C. H. Baldwin, of Goshen, will continue to hpld the office until Nov. Ist This will give Mr. Douglass a nice little holdover, and as Mr. Baldywin will be put to work right away as a field agent under direction of Governor Marshall, both will draw pay. The public pays the freight and the much-heralded economy plans of the governor get another jolt.

Brook Needs a Curfew Ordinance According to This Paragraph.

Brook Reporter. It has been the habit of soihe fifteenyejfcrold boys and girls to raise considerable disturbance in the school park from nine to twelve at night and sometimes later. Mothers, do you know if your girl is in the bunch?

The man who habitually sends his money to mall order bouses for goods which he could buy to better advantage to himself from home merchants. Is generally the first to growl about the deadness of his home town. Apparently he forgets that he is a prime cause of its deadness and that he is the most fitting person to officiate at its funeral. Live men imbued with true local pride and patriotism mean a live town every time, even as dead men mean a dead town. Mrs. L. E. Braden, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Brady, for the past three weeks, was joined yesterday by her daughter. Miss Romaine Braden, of Irvington, and today by her son, N. 8. Braden, of Hamilton, Ontario. Mr. Braden’s visit will be short as he is on his way to Vancouver on business. Mrs. Braden and daughter will leave in a few day* for some point In Michigan, where they will spend a few weeks.

Automobile, Gives it to Boy.

Monon News. A stranger driving an automobile met wjth an accident Monday afternoon at the Monon crossing two miles south of town. As he descended the hill the steering gear became erratic, landing the machine in the ditch, bottom side up. fortunately the occupant was thrown clear of the wreck and escaped injury. On gathering himself up it was evident that while he was unhurt the same could not be said of his temper. He cussed the machine and then addressing his remarks to Cecil Hancock, a 12-year-old son of Wm. Hancock, who was an eyewitness of the accident, said, “I will give it away, anything to get rid of it.” The lad said he wished he would give it to him, and the stranger promptly retorted, “It’s yours,” and then hired the lad, paying him 50 cents, to get a nearby farmer to bring him to town in a buggy, leaving his clothing and everything else, except a speedometer, which he detached from the machine. Young Hancock was presently along with his newly found prize, which began to assume elephantic proportions

as he gazed upon it in its helpless condition. At this juncture Harley Hornbeck, who was on his way home from Wolcott in his auto, arrived on the scene. The boy related the circumstances just happened which had made him the proud possessor of an 'altomobile and offered to sell it to Harley. The latter asked him what he wanted for it and he said he would take sls. The deal was quickly closed, conditioned on the validity of the sale. Taking the boy tn his own car they came fa town and the stranger was pointed out at Che depot platform where he was awaiting a train. He was a man of good address and assured Harley that he had-given the boy the machine as he represented and that it was his to do as he pleased with it. He held the speedometer in his hand and offered to sell it for $lO, five below cost, but Harley declined to buy, being apparently surfeited with cut rates on the investment he had just made. He then .went down and towed his new. purchase to town. The gentleman who had given the car away gave Harley directions about operating so that the latter was soon driving it about town without any trouble. The machine is a two-passenger Auto Car, No. 8605 N. Y., and its latest owner is very well pleased with his purchase.
