He and a negro boy about the same age were placing wifl;. axes, very dangerous playthings, and the negro came down with his axe and struck the Kennedy child on the neck, making a wound some two incnes long auu | about one and a half inches deep. If the wound had reached the carotid vein or artery there would have been no possible chance to save t c child's life.

Do you remember the fellow which to** Arli-ariKA'" traveler that he did not reshingle his house because he could not work on t-':e job when it was raining and in good weatlber the house did not need reshingling? We are reminded o* him by the merchant who says that he can not afford to ad<ver tise when times are hard, and i':e does not need to advertise when business is brisk It is useless to call such a merchant's attention to John Wanamaker's example He made a fortune cn the principle of the man who drank whiskey when he felt sick to make'bim feel | well, and when he felt well to make him feel better. Joftn Wanamaker made a fortune of millions by mixing j brains with printer's ink?but then he ! had the brains. He advertised all the 1 time, but most fceavily when times i were dullest.
