Better bea bank-account man than
a' no-account man. The way to
prosperity and happiness is paved
witn good intentions put into exe
cution. If you feel that you really
ought to be saving something out
of earnings for after life, don't let
the good impulse go unheeded. The
person who is soured on life is the
one who has neglected to put into
force the simple rules of success.
Start an account with the bank to
day. Pa' your bills by cheek and
vour money troubles will be over.

"BUCK'S OF THE TIMBER."
South of Town Picnickers Enjoy
Another Big Timie.
Kinghill, Neb., July 26, 1908. A
very quiet picnic party here the other
day was startled between 10 and 11
o'clock by an unusual noise. They
rushed to a very strong field glass to
see what was the trouble. The glass
drew a loaded boat so close to them
that they could see J. W. Berger, Will
Brown and James Holmes of Murray,
Neb., Roy Holmes of Chicago, 111., and
Fred Patterson, the boatman.
The boat carried a sein, and each of
the individuals carried an unusual
amount of good humor. After the first
flow of natural gas they got quiet
enough to place the sein across deep
water and the order was given to make
all the noise they could. Noise! Well,
B. S. Ramsey's Indian chief did not
come out of his grave so he must not
have been a saint. The fish were so
badly frightened they tried to fly, but
their fins were too small for wings, so
they hid in the web of the sein. The
fish were gathered and put in a live box.
The next th ng was a dinner prepared
by Mrs. Fred Patterson, a member of the
"Buck's of the Timber." After the
dinner was over, each one declared his
willingness to become a member of the
lodge.
The afternoon was spent in boating,
swimming and story telling, and at a
late hour Patterson insisted on the
party taking fifty pounds of fish home
with them. The ladies of this pinic
party (after using the field glass) do
not care to have their names mentioned
in connection with the affair.

G. IV. SANDS MEETS
HORRIBLE DEATH
VANDERBILT'S STEPSON DIES IN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
IS CRUSHED AND BURNED
Smash-up and Explosion of Motor Car
Occurs Near Stepfather's Beau
tiful Country Seat in
Pftrln July 30. In fh roost
torHMH automobile accidents la many-
years in Franc G. WlnthropSSands. ft
stepson of W. K. Vanderbllt, was
killed Wednesday morning Just outside
the grounds of Mr. Vanderbllfa beau
tiful country seat, the Chateau St.
Louis D Polssy. 20 miles from Tarls.
Mr. Sands was driving his 60 horse
power car along at a terrific clip. In
a desire to reach the chateau, where
Mrs. Sands and her infant daughter
were staying. He bad always been
known as a reckless driver and, as he
had been delayed at railroad crossings,
he opened the throttle wide as he ap
proached the chateau grounds.
Almost immediately a tire burs and
the machine crashed Into a tree, turn
ing turtle and burying Mr. Sands un
der the forward part and pinning the
chauffeur, I'ickins, to the ground. An
explosion followed and in a moment
the car was in flames.
Peasants Give Tardy Help.
Peasants working in the adjoining
fields were the only witnesses to the
accident. They rushed to the rescue,
hut fearing a further explosion of the
gasoline tank and deterred by the
sweep of flames, they stood idly by,
not knowing how to give assistance to
the injured men. Finally they managed
to raise the rear of the car and release
the chauffeur, and a little later, after
beating down the fire, thoy dragged
out the torn, bleeding and burned body
of Sands.
Help soon arrived from the chateau,
which is in the center of Mr. Vander
bilt's great, breeding farm. The in
jured men were carried to t lie house,
where it was found that Sands was
beyond the hope of recovery, but that
the chauffeur was not seriously in
jured. Sands Pitifully Mutilated.
The servants, fearing the effect on
Mrs. Sands, concealed from her the
gravity of the accident, and persuaded
her not to enter the room where her
dying husband had been placed. A
doctor summoned from Poissy arrived
soon afterwards, but Mr. Sands was
beyond mortal aid. Never had he
seen, the doctor raid, such a pitiful
human wreck. The stump of the leg
had been burned to a crisp, the face
and body were black and seared with
flames. In addition to terrible Inter
nal injuries, Mr. Sands' right arm and
shoulder were broken. The physician
could only try to alleviate his suffer
ings with opiates. Several times (he
man regained consciousness and cried
out in agony, his last words being a
cry for water.
Mrs. Vanderbilt broke the news to
her daughter-in-law, who bore ur,
bravely under the strain. Telegrams
and condolences began to arrive lat
in the afternoon and a score of auto
mobiles drove out from Paris.
