Incidents Unusual.
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Boyd atid
. little son Westley some sime ago
left on a pleasure and business trip
combined for Wheeler county,Tex.
Mr. Boyd, as everyone knows who
is acquainted with him, is an old
timer here and accustomed to roam
at large and at will wherever his
business calls him. Many years in
the saddle has so injured his health
that he is able to ride horsback but
little, so he often goes to roundups
and on drives in his buggy. While
away on this last trip he and West-
ley were ont on the range in the
buggy following the whooping cow
boys and in passing over some sand
ridges they dropped off an embank-
ment which threw them l oth out
of the buggy and the boy was lost
entirely in the shuffle. No parti-
cular damage was done and West-
ley was helped to his seat and the
trip was continued. The most ex-
citing and serious feature of the
whole trip was experienced on the
way home. Coming down the
Haystack range above Jester the
1 y was overturned a" * nil three
«*tijtauts thrown violently to the
gr«.und. -The horse became fright-
cikmI .iud ran off down the side of
th • hill, playing havoc with the
bug j v every step. Again no seri-
oi: harm resulted to either Mrs.
Boyd, George or Westley. but the
incident wos sufficient to put them
•Undying about the uncertainties of
life and the dangers of a disposition
of overcoafidcnce. The family got
home a little the worse for tbe wear
and the buggy will have to go thro
a luOf( "eason of physical iccupera-
tw«a hefare iu will be nt fat Lund)

Bonne Terre, Mo., although contain-

merely an aggregation of horses
streets and folks. There is no mayor,
no assembly, no commissioru-s of this
or'that. The tqwnship authorities look
to the peace of the community and
transact all other necessary public
business. Bonne Terre is a business
enterprise managed on purely business
principles. All the land is owned by
a mining company, which leases build-

thus keeps control of all the public

that the town is thriving, contented

some reaaon that gentleman waa quiU
Indifferent to the match, and refused

that during the years of their aepara-

There is no such luxury as privacy
to him w^iose name is heralded far
and wldf. Some, no doubt, enjoy the
distinction, but the majority must de-
test the intrusion. Goethe once ar-
rived at such a pitch of irascibility
by reason of the prying curiosity of
visitors that when a tourist would no:
be denied, he descended from hi=
study, lighted candle in hand, and
without a word of greeting, merely
placed the candle on a table and sat
still. In nowise daunted by the enid
reception, the tourist calmly seized the
candle and went round and round the

my with del.oerate scrutiny. Where-
upon the poet broke into a laugh and

of the committee to remove just as
many of the stamp taxes as possi-
