Care Would Avert a Thousand Tragedies.

"Care would avert a thousand accidents,” remarked an observer theother morning. “Somebody’s carelessness may be written as the verdict in most cases, and it would not be far wrong. Hundreds of people fall from insecurely fastened ham-* mocks; not a few are run' down by automobiles and motorcycles; bathing and boating claim victims and there are hundreds of pleasures and pastimes that contribute to the list of fatalities. And all because of carelessness. A bit of care in fixing the hammock and testing the ropes would save dozens of broken necks, backs and limbs. Careful driving, conformity with the speed laws and caution in crossing streets would prevent many a sad accident. The man, woman or child who goes swimming and ventures beyond the safety mark are in the foolhardy class. The person who goes boating without first learning to swim comes close to the same category. Yes, the verdict, ‘somebody’s carelessness,’ is perfectly applicable in the majority of cases, ’ r he concluded, as he rushed to grab a street car before it came to a stop to get on before the crowd rushed in and gave utterance to the friend he was addressing as follows: “Care, indeed, would avert a thousand tragedies.”

Some Newsy Notes From The Francesville Tribune.

Miss Myrtle Zard has gone to Rensselaer to spend the winter. Mr. and Mrs. William Porter, Harve Robinson and Joseph Fox were at Rensselaer Sunday. J. P. Hammond, assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Rensselaer, is a candidate on the republican ticket for auditor of Jasper county. E. R. Burget went to Indianapolis Monday, where he has engaged himself as a public auditor and accountant. The firm name will be Burdick & Burget, with offices in the State Life building. Several Francesville people witnessed the ball game at Rensselaer, Sunday, in which Oxford was defeated by a score of 2 to 1. Elmer Wilcox, formerly of this place, helped to win the game by a timely hit.

The Francesville ball team went to Reynolds for a game last Sunday. The game only lasted three innings when the visitors left the field because of the umpire’s decisions and a disposition among their opponents not to play fairly.

Ade Has An Enemy Some Place Among the Critics.

When George Ade’s new play “The Old Town” was first produced at the Studebaker recently some critic who had access to the press association wires lit into it with deep-rooted vengeance, and many of the papers declared that Mr. Ade had lost his magic pen and that the play was altogether devoid of comedy. The music by Mr. Luders was praised but the critic could see nothing good about Mr. Ade’s part of the performance. It is possible that the critic was too dense to understand the Ade variety of comedy but it is more probable that he is trying to do Mr. Ade an injustice, for the Chicago papers are praising the play highly and it is said to be keeping its record-breaking audiences in an uproar of pleasure, in which the playwright and the composer are sharing the praise of better critics than the one that seems to pounce with such delight onto Mr. Ade. It may be remembered that his play “Artie” was similarly condemned, but it had a good run in the cities nevertheless, and "The Old Town” is likely to break all Studebaker attendance records.

Edward Ford’s third trial for the killing of Joel and Frank McCoy at a woodchopping near Unionville, on Thanksgiving day, 1907, is to be called in the Monroe circuit court during the term which opens next Monday. Ford waited in jail a year for his second trial. The result was a bung jury again and he was released on bond. Sacrificing his farm to defend himself, he was compelled to move his family to Bloomington and is now employed at a factory in that place. The drys of Kokomo feel that a strong point was scored for their side when the city council in fixing the tax rate for the year made it |1 on each hundred of taxable property, a reduction of 16 cents on the hundred from the current year’s rate, A married man enjoys attending a wedding almost as much as'he does a funeral.

Like Marrying a Title.

Old Auntie Mandy, who did the washing, was such a happy, brave old soul that although she worked very hard, early and late, and must often have been weary, nothing could depress her. In everything that occurred she saw only “good luck” for herself. One day she brought home the washing in a high state of glee. “Jes, think, Mis’ Arnold,” she said, ‘Tse goin’ ter git married! Isn’t dat jes’ fine luck fo’ poor ole black woman like me?”

“I shall be Very sorry to lose you, Mandy,” said Mrs. Arnold, “but I’m glad if your life will be easier.” “Lose me!” gasped Mandy. “Lor! Mis’ Arnold, I can’t afford to let you lose me jes’ now. Why, I’se goin’ ter marry Br’er Johnson an’ his five chillun. I’se got ter hustle now, fur sartin.” “But I fail to see where your good luck is coming in from such a marriage, Mandy.” "Why, chile, if I marry dat man an’ his chillun he’s promised me six mo’ big washes Ms fust wife done had! Dat’s clar luck, Mis’ Arnold, clar luck, ’sides habin’ de honor ob marryin’ in Br’er Johnson’s fambly!”

Gay Young Autoists Prove To Be Automobile Thieves.

Two young men appeared at Medaryville recently with a large automobile and they created a great stir in that town by the freedom with which they took young people out riding. Their escapades attracted a great deal of attention, and the Advertiser of that town related how they had almost killed a party of seven young men by the c?r skidding into a ditch as they were coming back from Winamac. At that time they were presumed to be the owners of the machine and they were admitted into the best homes and every one accepted their story that they were visiting at a home in th§ country, and the family with whom they were staying accepted the story that they were agents for the machine. An attorney by the name of Burson, of Winamac, however, saw an advertisement in a Chicago newspaper, offering a reward of SIOO for the return of a stolen machine and he made up his mind that the young men who were cutting such a dash at Medaryville were the thieves. So he went out to the place they were staying and after querrying them caused their arrest and they confessed to having taken the car. They agreed to take the car to Winamac and were very jolly about the matter. After arriving there Mr. Burson and the man who had accompanied him went out in the back part of the garage to wash their hands and while they were gone the two young fellows boarded a train and made their get-away. Mr. Burson called the owner of the machine down from -Chicago and was given a reward of SIOO for its return. The owner brought a detective with him and they were furnished a description of the young men and it is probable they will be apprehended.
