A Bad Accideut,
Samuel Holwager, a farmer of Mt.
Joy township, who is well known here,
was seriously injured in Mount Joy on
Thanksgiving morning. Mr. Holwag—
er and wife drove to Mount Joy and
stopped at the Farmers’ Inn. After
they had alighted and the horse was
being unhitched, the animal took fright
at steam escaping from the boiler at
the Farmers’ creamery. Mr. Holwager
attempted to quiet the animal when he
was knocked down and trampled by
the frightened horse. The latter then
started on a run and collided with a
tree. The force of the collision threw
the horse on its back. He regained
his feet and dashed into a fence after
which he was caught, being seriously
injured. Mr. Holwager is confined to
bed suffering from serious internal in-
juries and a badly injured shoulder.

To the Banker It Meant Poverty But
Not So to the Struggling
Artist,
The banker's wife sat at the win-
dow wondering what could have de-
tained her husband, usually so
methodical, writes Charles Battell
Loomis, in Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
At last she saw him step slowly
from the car. This in itself was dis-
quieting. Why had he not come home
in a cab? What could have hap- |
pened? She hastened down the stairs |
to the front door and reached it just |
as he did.
“Henry, what is the matter? Why |
are you so late? And why did vou |
come in a car?” 3 :

\
“Oh, my darling, can you bear bad
news?” said he.
For answer she gave him her hand.
“Mary, my darling, I am ruined.

Cabs are for the rich. The failure
& Co. has pulled me
down, and when all my debts are paid
I shall have but $500 with whieh to

shock, and what wonder the little
woman fainted. Only $500. Ruin!
Abject poverty! Sorrow’s cup full!

The artist's wife sat with her face
at the window of their tiny room,
' wondering what had happened to de-
tain her husband. Artist though he
was, he was generally very method-
ical in his movements.
While her fears strengthened a oab
drove up to the house, and within it
—wonder of wonders!—she descried
the form of her husband. This was
indeed disquieting. Why had he come
home in a cab? Was he #1?
He sprang from the cab, dismissed |
the driver with a gratuity and ran |
with joyful face up the steps,
