A Story With a Moral.
A man who was too economical
to subscribe for a paper sent his
boy to borrow the copy taken by
his neighbor. In his haste the
boy ran over a i stand of bees
and in leu minutes looked like a
warly summer squash. His father
ran lo his assistance, and, failing
to notice a barbed-wire fence, ran
into thai, culling a handful of
llesh from bis analomv and ruin
ing a SI pair of panls. The old
cow look advantage of Hie gap in
I lit' lence ami gol inlo uie corn
Held and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing a racket, the
wife ran out, upset a four-gallon
churn full of rich cream into a
basket of lit 1 1 1 chickens, drown
ing the entire batch. In her hasle
lie ilronped a '.. sel ol lalsc
Hi. The baby, having been left
Hone, crawled through Hie spilled
milk and into the parlor, ruining
brand new I?-'' carpet. Durin
Hie excitement the oldest daughter
ran awav with the hired man, the
log broke up eleven selling hens
md the calves got out and chewed
the tails olT'u four Hue shirts on
the elolhsline. (Now is the time
to subscribe,')
The above, taken from another
publication, was handed us by one
of our valued Murray readers Ihis
week, and wo ngroo wilh him that
it is an excellent lesson for those
who borrow their neighbor's
paper. We cannot nt Ihis lime
call a single person in the whole
of F.ast and West Rook HlutTs pre
cinct that "this shoe would fit,"
for wo have all the residents of
both precincts on our books and
they are regular subscribers to tho
Journal. Hut should this meet
I ho eye of a single person who is
not a subscriber, we hope I hat ho
will lose no time in enrolling his
name before no moots with a
similar accident.
Mellon Crop Good.
Enoch Moreland, the Cass coun
ty watermelon king, says that his
crop of melons this year will be
a dandy. He will be on the mar
ket just a trifle later than in
previous years on account of the
backward spring season, but they
are going lo bo good ones when
the picking lime arrives. Mr.
Moreland has had the reputation
of raising more and belter melons
than any other man in this sec
tion.

When Crossing An Intersection of Streets Within City or Village,
Motor Vehicles Shall Not Be Driven at a Greater Speed
Exceeding Six Miles an Hour.
As there has been some doubt
in reference lo the state law-
regulating the automobile speed
limit, we publish herewith the sec
tion of the law referring thereto,
in order that all interested may
govern themselves accordingly.
We have been requested lo give
this section of the law, that "all
who run may read:"
Secion 7. Rate of Speed. No
person shall operate a motor
vehicle on any highway outside of
a city or village at a rate of speed
greater than is reasonable and
proper, having regard for the
tralllc and use of the road, and the
condition of the road, nor at a rate
of speed such as to endanger the
life or limb of any person nor in
any case at a rate of speed exceed
ing twentytlve miles per hour;
and within any city or village no
motor vehicle shall be operated at
a speed greater than twelve miles
an hour, or at a rate of speed
greater than is reasonable and
proper, having regard for the
tralllc ami useo f the road, and the
condition of the road, nor at a
rate of speed such as to endanger
the life or limb of any person.
Upon approaching an intersection
of highways, or a bridge or a
sharp curve or a sleep descent, or
another vehicle or an animal or
person outside of any village or
city, the person operating a motor
vehicle shall reduce the speed of
such vehicle to a rate not exceed
ing eight miles an hour and shall
not exceed such speed until en
tirely past such intersection,
bridge, curve, descent, vehicle,
animal or person. When crossing
an intersection of streets within
any city or village, motor vehicles
shall not be driven at a speed ex
ceeding six miles per hour. Upon
approaching any place where pas
sengers are getting on or off
street cars every person operating
a motor vehicle shall bring such
vehicle to a full stop and shall not
again start until said street cars
have started. Provided, that the
speed limits in this section shall
not apply to physicians or surge
ons or police or fire vehicles or
ambulances when answering
emergency calls demanding ex
cessive speed.
We shall continue from time to
time to publish sections of the
law, as ignorance of (he law saves
no one from prosecution, in consequence.

out.
