MISS GERTRUDE HOPKINS INJURE LEFT EYE

; Struck Glasses Against Vault Handle Breaking Glass in Eye—Taken to Hospital in Chicago. Miss Gertrude Hopkins, cashier at the State Bank, had an accident that may cause the loss of the sight of her left eye, although it is hoped that this may be saved. Miss Hopkins had gone into one of the vaults and as\she bent over she struck her head against the large iron handle on the door of the vault, breaking the glass of her spectacles in her left eye. The accident happened shortly after the bank opened this Saturday morning. D*T English was at once called and dressed the wound, tout could not tell how deep the glass had penetrated, and she was taken to the Wesley hospital in Chicago for treatment. Miss Hopkins was accompanied by Dr. English and Mrs. C. >C. Warner. It is probable that the eye may be saved. Miss Hopkins stood the strain of the accident very well.,

Girls Don’t Care If Mere Men See Them Remodle Their Faces.

Have you noticed the general tendency among the younger girls to repair and remodel their faces fight out in public?- Such a practice seems to be growing in the ranxs of the society buds with alarming rapidity. For instance, your young society girl strolls down town with a friend and Stands before the mirror in the show windows of one of our largest stores, extracts from the depths of her extremely good looking pocket book a siriall puff and a tiny box of powder, and there in the presence of countless passers by, proceeds to dust off her nose in a most proffessional manner, enter a drug store, or picture show, and with the same disregard for th.J public, make puite an elaborate toilet One especially attractive young visitor in the city, recently, even donned her make-up at the theatre between acts, very much to the amusement of the surrounding audience, but she seemed perfectly unconscious the while, that she was the center of attraction, while these repairs were going on. Of course every one is aware of the fact that these dainty little silver vanity boxes are a very vital part of milady's toilet, and that the contents no doubt* add immensely to her appearance, but why not use the stuff in the privacy of her own boudoir, ins tear} of making the public thoroughfare a dressing room?— Delphi Journal.

He had not planned to speak, but said he felt a particular interest in this year's class because it saw him ‘‘get into trouble" at his inauguration three years ago. The president declared that he gained a liberal education in the white house. He said that discipline in the academy must be strict “because you are more than college boys; you are officers of the United [States,” and any laxity of duty can not be overlooked.

No Place Left For Convenience of Horse Drivers.

A farmer living near Rensselaer made a suggestion the other day that seems worthy of putting into practice. He said that not all persons who come to Rensselaer to trade have automobiles and that the driver of a horse vehicle is suffering a considerable inconvenience and he thinks an unjust one because automobiles are parked along the business.streets. He said, and it is true, that on busy days there are so many oars along the streets in front of stores that it is impossible to drive up to the stores with a horse to get the packages one has purchased. He points out that the four sides of the court house offer a splendid parking place for autos and that cars should be left there and not in front of stores. Horses can not he left there but must be placed at the out-of-the-way hitch racks or left in hitch barns. If the streets in front of stores were not obstructed by autos it would be easy to drive horse Vehicles up to get purchases and the auto owners would not be seriously inconvenienced. His idea is a good one. In many cases autos are placed on the main streets and kept there for several hours. They could just as well be left at the public square. Probably in time a city ordinance covering this point will be necessary. In the mean-? time the auto drivers should not leave out of consideration those who travel in horse-drawn vehicles.
