Auto Completely Wrecked. Elwood George, a well-known traveling salesman, had his new Hudson auto reduced to junk at the Vandalia crossing Saturday afternoon. He. in company with a lady friend, were going north in his auto, and in attempting to cross the Vandalia tracks, his machine was hit by two box cars being put on the siding by the local crew. The car was hurled a distance of thirty feet and thrown i. over on its side and completely wrecked. Mr. George and his lady I passenger both jumped from the car and escaped personal injury although they had a remarkably close call, and one which they: have no desire to repeat. Mr. George, in conversation with the Truth man, said that the Vandalia were making a running switch across a public highway contrary to the laws of Indiana, and that he would hold the company responsible through the ’Liability Insurance Company, in which he was insured. He notified Agent Geo Sheller, and then took another auto home, leaving rhe wrecked machine on the highway. After instructions by wire from Logansport, Agent Sheller, with the

What Will You Do Without Him ? i (Requested printed by Lizzie Rentfrow)

I could not do without Him! ' Jesus is more to me Than all the richest, fairest gifts Os earth cotfid ever be. But the more I find Him precious— And the more I find Him true — The more I long for you to find What He can be to you. You heed not do without Him For He is passing by, • He is waiting to be gracious, Only waiting for your cry; He is waiting to receive you— To make you all His own! Why will yon do without him, And wander all alone? Why will you do without Him? Is He not kind indeed? Did He not die to save you? Is He not all you need? Do you not want a Savior? Do you not want a friend? One who will love you faithfully, And love you to the end? Why will you do without Him The word of God is true! s The world is passing to its doom— 1 “ And you are passing, too. It may be no tomorrow Shall dawn for you or me; Why will you tun the awful risk Os all eternity? What will you do without Him? In the long and dreary day Os trouble and perplexity, When you dq not know the way, And no one else can help you, <= And no one guides you right, And hope comes not with morning, And rest comes not with night? You could not do without Him, If once He made you see The fetters that enchain yon, Till He hath set you free. If once you saw-the fearful load' Os sin upon y®ur soul;— The hidden plague that ends in death, Unless He makes you whole? You cannot do without Him! There is no other name By which you eveM can be saved, No way, no ljope; «o claim! Without Him —everlasting loss

No Tobacco While On Duty. A few days ago employees of the entire system of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., were informed that they must discontinue the use of tobacco in any form while on duty. The reason given by the company was, that it impaired the service, likewise increased the danger. There was a great deal of fault found with that decision, but when we look at the matter squarely we can understand to some extent at least why corporations make such rulings. Too much care can not be exercised when the loss of lives or property are to any degree jeopardized. The following taken from the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette shows the result of carelessness from a cigarette smoker: “The country has been shocked within a week by the appalling loss of 143 lives in a New York sweat shop fire. The country even more recently has been astounded by the burning of New York state’s capital building and the destruction of invaluable early Dutch and continental records that can never be replaced. And it is believed a cigarette thrown by a cutter into refuse on the floor caused the sweat shop holocaust. The theory is also advanced that a cigarette thrown in a' waste paper basket, resulted in the destruction of Albany’s fine capitol. Both buildings were regarded as fire proof. They were thought, or said, to be safe. But they were not safe against the carelessly thrown cigarette, and, as a result, the country mourns. There will be a general revival of fire inspection, the passing of more stringent laws and ordinances, but the loss to property, to invaluable documents and to life will have been altogether in vain ! unless the two fires teach the ( smoker to be careful or give up his 1 smoking, and teach the public in general to use more care. Fire proof buildings, as shown in the

1 Os love, and life, and light! Without Him—everlasting woe And everlasting night. But with Him—Oh, with Jesus! , Ore any words so blest? With Jesus, everlasting joy And everlasting rest! With Jesus--all the empty heart ' Filled with his perfect love; With Jesus- perfect peace below, And perfect bliss above. Why should you do without Him? It is not yet too late; He has not closed the day of grace, ' He lias not shut the gate. He calls you!—hush! He calls you! He would not have you go Another step without Him, Because He loves you so. What will you do without Him When death is drawing near? Without His love —the only love That casts out every fear, When the shadow valley opens, Unlightened and unknown, And the terrors of its darkness Must all be passed vlone! What will you do with out Him When the great white throne is set, And the Judge who never can mistake, And never can forget,— Ahe Judge whom you never here As Friend and Savior sought, Shall summon you to give account Os deed and word and thought? What will you do without Him When He hath shut the door, And you are left outside, because You would not come before? When it is no use knocking, No use to stand and wait; The word of doom tolls through your heart That terrible, “Too late!” Why will you do without Him? He calls and call again—- “ Come unto Me! Come unto Me!” Oh, shall He call in vain! He wants to with Him; Do yon not want Him, too? You can not do withoot Him, And He wants—even yon.

case of New York and Albany are like “guns that are not loaded”— they are dangerous.” The Country Town, He who has never called a country town his home has missed much. He who has had his first look upon the world from some little village which at the dawn of consciousness spelled all the world to him and held in its bounds all the people, will lack something in in his sense of his proper adjustment to relation. It is in them that the truest friendships are formed, the closest studies of human nature provided, the most lasting hold given on the eternal truths. Only as a little child can the kingdom of earth be gained, as of which it was first said. Go closer into the records of these boys off the farms and you will find that it vfcs from the country towns rather than the farms, they came; that it was some country village that inspired the dreams fired the hopes and prepared sot that flight to broader fields.

Sad Accident Causes Death. The infant daughter of Mrs. Irma English, living at Hammond, was given carbolic acid by a mistake ol the nurse, Mrs. Robert Brady, who thought she was giving the child paregoric, and the child died within a few minutes. Mrs. English is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Rohrer of east of New Paris, but with her husband, a bookkeeper, has been making her home in Hammond. The child was but three days old. ‘ Mrs. Brady, who is a sister-in-law of Miss Clara Brady, winner of the big prize in the News-Times tour to Bermuda contest, was terribly tired and worn out and only partly awake. The sick room was dark and both bottles of medicine were alike in size, and the error of the nurse is one of those unfortunate mistakes which will occasionally happen.—Goshen News-Times of March 31. Rev. C. A. Wright, pastor of the Evangelical church, and A L Weaker, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, left Tuesday to attend the annual conference v inch is being held this week and extending over Monday of next ”eek.

The best speller in the grade school of Indiana is Ardelia Rose Saib, of Jasper, if the result of the first Indiana spelling bee. held on March 30th in the house of representatives chamber of the state house at Indianapolis, is to be taken as a test. Little Miss Saib spelled down thirty-seven other contestants, all representing the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of Indiana schools and chosen in congressional district bees for the honor of contesting in the state bee. Naomi Frank, of Greenfield, took second honors, and Levin Litzenberger, of Middletown, third. Young Litzenberger went down on “recurrence,” and Miss Frank on “hereditary.” Thereupon, after standing the test of spelling “fa’« setto” correctly. Miss Saib was declared the winner. She was almoc t smothered with congratulations from the large audience, in which were many school teachers, here to attend the convention of the Southern Indiana Teachers’ association. She was awarded a gold medal and a dictionary, the presentation being made by John I. Hoffman, deputy state superintendent of public instruction.
