LastMonday whileGeorge Shroades and Frank Bull were repairing, a pump mi John Taylor’s farm, they met with an accident which might have cost them their lives. The’ wbll is 12(t feet deep and they were using a hoist to raise the piping. After the first joint had been lifted ou|t the chain slipped, allowing the piping to fall back into the well and at the same time the hoist broke, allowing several timbers and pulleys to fall on them, Frank was directly under the hoist, and was cut on The neck and*shoulders when it fell Mr* Tay­ lor and George Sh'roadds were tinder the derrick at the time but tecaped luckily. TheirDescent Trace# from Adam. Popular interest in Albert Jndson Fisher'sunique love story/“ A daugh­ ter of Adam,” in, the La lies Home Journal iaf August, has been increas­ ed tenfold since it became known that the genealogical part of. the story is not fiction, but fact, Hot only is the marvelous line of decent traced through 121 gencratfbns from Adam and Eve, absolutely geuuine, but, also the family names of the character*are the names of real people, for tlm line is actually that o f Mtv and Mrs* John Smith Sargent, vf fthioagb, and Mr*.

The,father day Prof' Oscar L Triggs ,of Chicago university,-- in lecturing before his cfas# in literature, made the astounding - statement that1the hytnbs sung in our prutestant churchs are mere'doggerel compared to which the dime novel is splendid literature*. He is reported to have said; . -- * /The dime novel is preferable- to the average Sunday-school story, be­ cause the dime novel may- become lit­ erature—-as in the ease of., Egbert Louis Stevenson’s works—while -the Buuday-Echoolbook can never- hope to he.” ; / How Silly! “ Deadwhod-Dick” and h\s hair-breath .escapes compared, to. tbe .wonderful creations of Robert Louis Stevenson! 1 George. Eliot pushed aside to make place for Laura Jean Libby! .True, the average Su a- dny school story is an inane and poorly written affair, hut seme of them because of the lessons'they teach and the superiority of their style de­ serve the.natne of literature.; His attack-on the church hymn is id poor taBte and displays woeful ig­ norance o f the hymn book. . While some hymns are doubtless silly it would require columns o f space to enumerate nil those which are literary gems. Opie Bead in writing o f the hymn has given expression to the common sentiment: “ Into the darkened home they have shone as stars at night; and their cadence, softly echoing down through the years, have saved many a man and woman from the hell trapq, o f earth, in their-construction the dry^ cold eye o f the critic could, find, many a flaw. In the unschooled fer- yor of the writer they could see many violation pf art’s exacting canons, but the purest art may wear a frosty smile and upon its smooth and classic broW the snow might lie.” Khtnane'sKnoek-out Drops.
