was unhurt.) Lon says the shaft
Came down in a zig-zag shape
through the woods, taking its
own time and doing queer stunts
as if it enjoyed the anticipation
of what it meant to do, but that]
after it had hit Reed, and find
ing there was nothing doing, it
was not near so gay, and that iv ■
stead of any more zig-zag stunts,
it straightened out into a straight
streak and left in such a hurry
that it even forgot to thunder.

A Timely Warning—
Look After Your
Car Brakes
On yesterday 1 was talking 10
two friends 011 the street, when
two cars came down going east,
ona a heavy loaded truck, on his
slide, another car close behind in
the middle of the road.
I saw I couldn't get out of
the way of both cars. I made a
rush for the north side of the
street in the path of a car. driven
by Mr. Fred Hutchins. I was mix
ed up with the three cars, but for
the presence ol' mind and good
brakes, on the cur going west, I
would have been playing with
death.
Most cais will run, but they
can't stop without good brakes in.
emergency.
This is a warning to me and
others t 0 keep out of the road?
talking when there is much traffic.
A walk way, one side of a-high
way, would save acccidents.
Look after your brakes before
it is too late.
