TIMELY TOPICS
•
She Delayed Too Long
Mrs. Fanny Soper, awaiting exe-
cution at Sing Sing for the murder of
her husband, reads the Bible daily.
She has had ncn,callers in the six
weeks she has been in the 'death
house, • Not even her daughter has
visited her. Mrs. Soper will find
comfort and solace in the Bible. The
Book will help prepare her to go to
her death tranquilly.
But had she read it daily earlier in
her life she probably would not be in
the !death house. She would have
.liscovered for one thing a certain
commandment which reads: Thou
shalt not kill, She would have been
advised how to control her angrY
Passions. And she would have learn-
ed that ungrateful daughters some-
times rise against their mothers.
There is wisdom, knowledge and
strength in the Bible.
But don't wait too long to read it.
Touches Match/ to Dynamite Cap
Chris Dawdy, to year old son of B.
Dawdy, who resides one mile from
Eagle, near West Lorne, suffered a
serious mishap while playing with
some • other playmates. Finding a
dynamite cap in an empty house, the
boys decided to light it 'with a snatch,
which young Dawdy proceeded to do,
the cap exploding and blovving off the
thumb and first two fingers of his left
hand. Doctors from West Lorne
were called and said. the `boy would
recover if no complications set in.
Hen Seta" New Record?
A lien owned by Harry Heller of
Kiamensi, Delaware, has established
what is thought to be a world's rec-
ord. In two days she has laid four
perfectly formed eggs. The best of
hens lay. one egg a day. Then hen,
Clara Regina, x year old, White Rock
breed, laid tow eggs the first day
within five minutes of each other, and
the second clay repeated within the
