HIS LITTLE BALL OF \ARN SMASHED BIG MOTOR CAR Had not O. f’. Crocker slowed down (ii< big touring car while out driving on Gordon street Just when he did. It lx probable that not only his automo bile. but himself, would now be In the hospital. As it was. both Mr. and Mrs. Crocker tKsped without Injury, hut his ma chine was almost a wreck when an other car from town went out to tow it in. And ail the damage was caused by a mall bad boy nnd a ball of yarn. Air. and Mrs. Crocker were speeding il'»ng Gordon street and when the oar tracks were reached near Eudle ave nue, the machine was slowed down in I crossing them. Just about the same instant a small boy playing with a baseball made of wrapped yarn threw the hall under the machine. It probably couldn’t be done again one in ten thousand times, but the ball caught in a sprocket and in an instant it had stopped the mechanism, smashed the chain and axle and made the ma chine a general wreck. With the wrecking of the car came a loud noise, ns of an explosion that not only star tled the occupants of the car, but the people In the neighborhood. Mr. Crocker has learned the identity of the boy and will take some steps against him. The people In the neigh borhood of the wreck claim this and other boys make their lives a burden.

For Q Cents Choice j Yard. Sale Begins at 9 O’ Clock. There was consternation In nearby offices. Lawyers heard the sound nnd were shocked. Ah soon as the boom of the big bell had gone forth on the spring breezes there was a rush of lawyers for the court house. There were visions of being fined for contempt of court—for not being there on time. The old clock In the court house tow er had gone on a strike. Why, nobody knew. But It did. The huge hands pointed to 9:30 o’clock, but it was a ten-strike the lawyers In their offices heard. They rushed for the court house. Then they found the old clock had been a few days too early In get ting off an April fool Joke. Hard things vere said. There was no doubt about it. The old clock had struck ten, but It was only half-past nine. As is always the case, dozens of people (lashed their watches when the clock began striking. The watches read 9:30, but the old clock said 10 by the sound. ‘'Zounds!'' exclaimed John Mana- ghan, Solicitor Hill’s assistant, as he hurried to receive the many visitors who had business to prepare for the grand Jury. They were due at 10 o’block and ne hadn't started to prepare for them. Janitor Marhut was notified, but be couldn’t explain the singular conduct of the well-behaved clock. He admitted though, that the pesky old thing once upon u time struck thirty. John Mon aghan declared It had only been 23. W. J. Bryan, the official clock wind er, was hastily summoned, but he said he had wound the clock on Monday, as was his custom. That lasted for the week. At 10 o’clock the old timepiece struck one and nt 10:30 the bell sound ed ten times again. Finally the tower was visited nnd n wist given to one of the set screws ontroiling (lie striking device. Then at 11 o’clock the hell caught step with the time and everything was serene. (Milef Turner said he didn’t blume the d clock for going on a strike. For he pointed out that the court house was commenced In 1879, turned over to the ounty commissioners In 1881, and that the old clock had been grinding out time ever since.
