Young Women Take Wild Ride When Rein Breaks
**£i_.
I NDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Miss Grace
Mockfotd and Miss Edith Timmer
man, 3037 -North Illinois Btrcet, were
tempted outdoors by the delightful
weather the other afternoon for what
they planned to be a very restful and
bracing drive over the boulevards.
At Capitol avenue, near Ohio street,
the animal made a break, and imme
diately afferward things began to hap
pen. In fact, things happened on
Capitol avenue all the way north to
Twentieth street, which is quite a dis
tance. The two young women thought
it was quite a distance, at least, and
they never expect to drive through
, that thoroUghfaro in quite so dramatic
a fashion Again.
When the horse found that one of
tho reins had parted ho knew at once
that the othor was of no servico, for
he was a wise horse. He started to
run, and made up his mind at tho very
beginning to pay no attention to speed
laws or interference of 'other kinds.
Pedestrians ran out and tried to seize
the bridle, but he paid no attention to
them. Persons in other rigs tried to
overtake him, but ho left them far
behind. ,
Finally, 1 when the horse had passed
Nineteenth street, a young man ran
out, sizing up the situation as he ran.
Ho saw that to tackle the front end of
the runaway would be like plunging
single-handed against a flying wedge;
so he stood alongside and, as the rear
end of the bugy passed, he seized the
top and vaulted Into the vehicle. After
that he climbed over the seat, over
turn dashboard, over tho shafts and
onto the horse’s back. With so much
accomplished the remainder was easy.
All he had to do was to reach over
and catch hold of the rings on the
ends of the bits and then Jerk a few
times.

Effective Car-Stop Scream Introduced by Child
S T. LOUIS, Mo.—Passengers on a
crowded * Hodiamont car about
12:30 p. m. the other day were greatly
alarmed by a child’s piercing screams
as the car began to move after a stop’
at Clara ave.nue,
Men and'women who had been
lucky enough to secure seats sprang
to their feet; and struggled for a. view
of the rear platform, from whence
the shrieks came.
A rush which’ might have resulted
in a panic was averted only because
the congested condition of the car pre
cluded any rushing.
■ As the shrieks rang out tho con
ductor grabbed the bell rope and gave
the motorma'n the “stop-quick” signal.
The crew and passengers alike wait
ed breathlessly to learn the cause of
alarm.
Male passengers, smoking on the
rear platform, performed the seeming
ly impossible and cleared a passage
to the steps, through which walked a
matron leading a girl about seven
years of age, from, whose eyes the
tears were w.elling.
“Ain’t you ashamed of yourself7”
the woman Was demanding.
“They were leaving you behind,”
the child sobbed.
As tho car: moved on’ again those
passengers nearest the steps explain
ed the situation.
Tho woman and the child, presuma
bly her daughter, were- running to
catch the car. Youth led in the race,
tind the child boarded the car first.
'The woman was several yards behind;’
and the conductor did not Bee her and
gave the signal to start the car before
she. had boarded it. The near-kidnap
ing, which then was threatened, was
prevented by the child's effective if
unusual method of stopping the car.
She just screamed.
Newsboy Police to Keep Order Among Fellows
S PRINGFIELD, Mass.—The Spring-
Held Newsboys’ association has or
ganized a ifollce force to patrol the
business section of the city to see that
tho “newsies” conduct themselves
properly and also that their rights
are ■ not infringed . upon. Solomon
Skvirsky, president of the associa
tion and “chief of police" ex-officio,
has appointed a sergeant-And patrol
man for each ward. ,
Young Skvirsky-'camo to this coun
try from Russia when four and one-
half years-old, and since he was seven
years eld lib haft earned his own liv
ing by selling newspapers. He Is the
most Important person In Springfield
in the eyes of the GOO newsboys of
the city, ambng whom his decrees are
law.
Gambling] and petty thieving are
two evils which the newsboys’ leader
has worked to suppress. "Our or
ganization has stopped much of the
gambling that formerly went on here
to quite an extent among the boys,"
said Skvirsky, in speaking of the as
sociation, ‘'The gambling habit with
newsboys probably starts from seeing
older hoys who hang around the
streets play games of chance.
“Mr. Sier, a councilor of the associa
tion and a former president of the
Chicago Newsboys' association, put
before a meeting of our association
an ingenious plan for a newsboys’ po
lice squad. We adopted his Idea and
divided. Main street, the. * newsboys’
principal source of revenue, into
wards, each policed by newsboys.
“The duties of these officers are to
see that thpre.is no trouble among-the
boys and to report upon conditions at
the meetings of the association. Some,
things that have been regulated are
hold-ups, shooting pennies and crap]”

The latter part pf the fall is the best'
time to lime tho pasture, as the wintori
rains and.snows will gradually w6rk

about 40’ bushels or air-slacked lime
spread to tho acre, is about tho rlgl^t
quantity to ubo.- One bushel of freBh-
ly-burnt lime, wheri air slacked, will
make two bushels; 20 bUBliels of fresh
ly burnt lime will cost six cents per
bushel at tho kiln, which 1b $1.20 per
acre, not' counting the hauling. This,
is an economical dressing for one]
acre of grass pasture. The lime should
be spread as soon as it is air-slaolced.
The field should be run over with a
Bharp iron-todth harrow, and about ten
poundB of a mixture of timothy, red

HOW TO MAKE CORN SHELLER

Found on Any Farm, Can Be Made
• of Good Service. '’
Where there is but a small’quantity
of'corn to be shelled a shelter can be
made of a few scraps of wood usually
found on a farm. A block of wood
having a sloping notch cut from one
end is mounted on three legs as
shown in the illustration from Popu

well as the lever is thickly filled with

Selecting Seed Corn.

very rigidly at seeding time and such
corn as is not needed can bd readily

Seed Corn.
- Next spring there is going to be a
big demand for good seed corn. Now
Is the time to prepare for this de
mand. It is well to select the seed
from the field. If the ear-waa ma
tured before the frost the vitality is
not seriously Impaired. This corn
should be selected now and stored in
a place where it can dry out within
a short time.
Increase Value of Silage.
One writer says that alfalfa or
clover mixed with the corn when the
silo is being filled will add greatly to
the value of silage. This is undoubt
edly true, but it is still a question as
to whether the same feedlrig value
could not be attained more econom
ically by using the alfalfa and clover
for the dry feed.
spikes-driven in so that their heads
protrude about one-half inch.
The ear of the corn Is placed In the
notched part and the lever pressed
down. Two or three strokes of tho
lever will remove all the kernels
from the cob. A box is provided and
conveniently located on one leg to
catch the shelled corn.

“It was a day or two before Thanks

Care In Selecting Seed.
Fix the fact’ in your miridB that If
we are to grow maximum crops of

The man with the silo is not worry
ing over winter feed.
Anything that reduces the cost of
maintenance increases the profit.
As a general rule, potatoes should
be planted on fresh ground each year.
A 160-acre farm with a silo will pro
duce as much revenue as a 180-acre
farm without.
Deep plowing increases the soil’s
water-holding power, also its plant
feeding power.
The corn that shells oil while husk
ing can be saved if a coal Bhovel is
used In unloading. . /
The garden truck, which most
farmers allow to waste at this season
of tho year, can be turned Into big
profits by feeding them to the hogs,
cattle and poultry.
Some people have gone bo .far as to
claim that the corn stalks in the. silo
are worth as much as the ears in the
crib.

be expensive, but If it were rightly
applied it would add a great deal to
the- value of the place.
Keeping any machine well oiled and

efficiency, but decreases tho amount

."Something was making me ill arid
I didn’t know the cause,” writes a
Colo, young lady-: “For two years I
was thin and sickly, suffering.from in
digestion • and inflammatory rheuma
tism.
“I had tried different kinds of diet,
and many of the remedies recommend
ed; but got' no hotter.
“Finally, Mother suggested that I
try Grape-Nuts, and I began at onpo,
eating ft with a little cream or milk.
A change for the better began at once.
“To-day I am well and am gainirig
weight and strength all the time. I’vo
gained 10 lbs. in the laBt five weeks
and do not suffer any more from in
digestion, and the rheumatism is all
gone.
“I know it is to Grape-Nuts alono
that I owe my restored health. I still
eat the food twice a day and never
tire of it.” Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quality
that never grows tiresome.
Ono of the sources of rheumatism is
from overloading the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion' arid assimilation.
As soon as improper food is aban
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu
larly, digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease-making
material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental,
activity. “There’s a reason.” R’ead
