Billy, Junior.
At ten o’clock Sunday morning
he was chubby and bright-eyed
and as mischievous a three-year
older as ever sucked a thumb —
with his three score and ten lying
out before him.
In less time than it takes to
read this, he was changed into a
small morsel of bruised flesh and
broken bones; both fat little legs
mashed to bits and the curly little
head fractured.
In ten short seconds he was
transformed from a happy, care
free little tadkin, bubbling over
with mirth at his boyish pranks,
into a wrecked body, writhing in
the pain of two broken legs and a
shattered skull; his bright blue
eyes glazed with the approach of
death; his soft, rosy skin assuming
first an ashen hue, then a pur
plish tinge, as death crept on.
And, finally, th ' silver cord was
loosed and little Billy was no more.
The little boy we loved so well —
whom we had danced upon our
knee hundreds of times; the
youngster who was never happier
than when he jammed our hat
down over his nose and strutted
about with all thg pomp of a
Napoleon—. one, sacrificed on the
altar of speed !
Was the auto driver to blame ?
Oh, no! The driver is never to
blame —just another of those “un
avoidable” accidents. No doubt
he was in a great hurry to get to
his office to the morning
paper—he couldn’t be expected to
see such a little thing as a three
year-old boy. Both driver and
car are still here. It didn’t hurt
the car a bit, fortunately; of course
a little of Billy’s blood got on the
wheel, but don’t judge Billy too
harshly—we are confident he
couldn’t help it. —The Trestle

Imitation Spoils Life.
One reason why so many girls
and boys, men and women, too,
are uninteresting, is because they
try so hard to be like somebody
else rather than to be content to
remain himself or herself in life.
In nature you don’t see an oak
posing as a willow, or a black
duck as a yellow leg, or a lilac as
a peony, or a dog as a cat. Be
natural and you’ll be alright.

might appropriately be termed a
boxoffice.
Your Attention, Please.
If your bowels need a whole

indigestion, constipation or other
condition caused by clogged or

Boys as well as girls should be
taught to help in the house. How
often we have been disgusted to
see that the girls are made to help
until the housework while the
boys are allowed to play checkers,
or sit at the fire toasting their toes.

Governor Dorsey has signed the
bill putting in force the constitu

Feet Drag?
When it is an effort to drag one foot
after the other, when you are always
tired and 6ecm lacking in strength and
endurance, when aches and pains rack
the body, it is well to look for symptoms
of kidney trouble.

trouble by removing the cause. They
are healing and curative. They tone up
and strenghten the weakened or diseased
organs. They relieve backache, rheu
