The young man who sows wild oats
will not enjoy himself worth speaking of
when he comes to garner the sheaves in
after years. Any sort of a crop is better
as an investment, though none is surer
of big returns, such as they are. Wild
oats, my son, will make a straight man
crooked, the strong feeble, the bright
stupid and the pure unclean and repul
sive. The harvest is sorrow and remorse
unspeakable. What ever else you sow,
don’t tamper it with wild oats. “Re
member now thy Creator in the days of
thy youth,” and let the oat crop out on
shares. If the thing must be sown let
somebody else do it.

highway, and for other reasons, but will
recommend a road leading from the Car

good road already established. This, of

Little Frances Ritchie and Lillian
Campbell had a runaway experience on
Sunday afternoon, which although re
markably fortunate in its results, they
will never wish to duplicate. Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Ball had driven in from the
farm and were enjoying a Sunday dinner
at T. B. Campbell’s, their horse being
tied to a post in front of the residence.
While the grown folks were at dinner,
the two little girls above named untied
the horse and got into the vehicle, bent
on having a drive. The animal is of
runaway proclivities, and soon started
on a run, the speed being increased by
screams of terror uttered by the fright
ened girls. On the slope in the north
eastern part of the city the little ones
were thrown out, and the runaway con
tinued its wild career as far east as S. P.
Hart’s farm. Other than a few cuts and
bruises the little ones received no injur
ies, and the animal and topless buggy
came out of the marvelously fortunate
accident without any damage to speak
of. The horse is the same animal which
ran away with John McAdams, some
weeks since, and injured him quite
severely.
