Where a Careful Examination Reveals the
Fortunate Fact that Injuries though
Painful Are Not Serious
Brakeman I E Graves of Conductor
Neal Beelers crew was jerked off the
top of a freight car at Edison Monday
evening receiving painful hip injuries
in the fall and scramble to escape the
approaching cars By rarest good fort
une he escaped serious injuries ordeath
While shunting cars at that station
in spite of his bracing himself an appli
cation of air or a sudden stopping of the
train threw him to the track between
the steel rails He was ablB to scramble
off the track and thus escaped the
wheels
Mr Graves was brought to the city
on train 5 same evening and taken to
the Southwestern Nebraska hospital
where a careful examination revealed
the fact that bis injuries painful as
they were were not of a serious nature

NEW YEA R
will depend upon the circumstances that you can control One
of these is your standard of health iour health cant be the
best if teeth are not doing effective work The quick changes
that teeth good or bad often make is really surprising Little
decays grow into the larger kind and increase the risk of total loss
One evidence of satisfaction that my patients enjoy they hac a sreater
interest in their teeth that have been restored than the fee it has taken to
make them so Let us have a pleasant chat about your teeth

A QUEER WOOING
Whtttlers Offhand Wedding and th
Brides Scant Trousseau
Laboucheres claim that lie brougb
about the marriage of Whistler is thus
recorded in the Life of Whistler
I believe I nin responsible for Whis
tlers marriage to the widow of Mr
Godwin the architect She was a re
markably pretty woman and very
agreeable and both she and he were
thorough boheminns I was dining
with them and some others one even
ing at Earls Court They were ob
viously greatly attracted to each oth
er and In a vague sort of way they
thought of marrying So I took thp
matter in hand to bring tilings to a
practical point
Jimmy I said avIH you marry
Mrs Godwin
Certainly he replied
Mrs Godwin I said will you
marry Jimmy
Certainly she replied
When I asked
Oh some day said Whistler
That wont do I said We must
have a date
So they both agreed that I should
choose the day what church to come
to for the ceremony provide the cler
gyman and give the bride away 1
fixed an early date and got the then
chaplain of the house of commons
the Rev Mr Byng to perform the
ceremony
It took place a few days later
After the ceremony was over we ad
journed to Whistlers studio where
wq had prepared a banquet The ban
quet was on the table but there were
no chairs So we sat on pa king cases
The happy pair when I left had not
quite decided whether they would go
that evening to Paris or remain in n
studio
now unpractical they were v-
shown when I happened to meet t1
bride the day before the marria rc iii
the street
Dont forget tomorrow I said
No she replied I am just g Iig
to get 1113- trousseau
A little late for that is it not I
asked
No she answered for I am only
going to buy a new toothbrush ami t
new sponge as one ought to have nw
ones when one marries
DONT FIGHT THE WEATHER
Try the Plan of Being on Friendly
Terms With It
What a great misfortune this is the
habit of considering the weather of
thinking that we must consider the
weather It is largely due is it uot to
clothes No mention is made of rain
In the garden of Eden but we must
not therefore contend that rain wm
disagreeable and omitted We must
recollect that Adam and Eve did not
need to consider rain Furthermore
In blessed ignorance they did not know
that It was anything to be considered
To mind the rain no more than tin
May sunshine but to plunge into it
and let the drops pelt as will to
accept snow without a thought of dis
comfort but rather to enjoy the
thronging presence of it to pursue
ones daily stint regardless of whether
the sky be dun or blue this is a state
which we especially of the cities long
long have lost
We regain It some of us in the wil
derness camp where we hunt or fish
if the day be dark or if the day be
bright and where we find that the
dash of the soft rain on ones face is
not death after all that wetness and
dryness are merely relative terms
All the centuries of fussing and fum
ing with the weather have not affected
the weather one particle It still rains
and snows and sleets and blows just
as dictated by circumstances There
fore whats the use Are your puny
diatribes or mine of any greater po
tency than those of others gone be
fore Evidently not Accordingly trv
the plan of being friendly with the
weather of agreeing with it instead of
fighting it and pen my wercl pres
ently it will be agreeing with yru
