The Little Things That Count

An old Quaker not careful of the teachings of his faith, was discovered by his wife kissing the cook behind the door. But the Quaker was not disturbed, “Wife,” said he gently, “If thee doesn’t quit thy peeking thee will make trouble in the family." Horace Shubert, age fifty-seven, a well-known fanner, near Elkhart, died of Injuries received when his right leg was drawn into his thrashing machine Saturday. He undertook to shove wheat straw into the machine and hfT foot was caught. The leg was drawn entirely In before a son could stop the engine in answer to his cries.
