The rig was at the crest o f the hill when one o f the horses swerved. One o f the occupants, thinking the horse waa about to lie down, got out o f the rig to see what the trouble might be. The night was so dark that the road was inviaible and the young man was surprised to be precipi tated down the embankment and immediately followed by the rig. The distance was twenty fee t or more. The young woman in the rear seat was caught in the top and pinned under the framework o f the vehicle, but aside from a few bruises to one limb was e x tricated without serious injury. The other occupants fell out l a te ly and were but slightly scratched. The horses did not fall down and the rig was still in condition to carry the party home. A rig coming over the hill from the other side had forced the first team over the embank ment. Neither driver was aware o f the approach o f the other team.

It was an old Roman'who was repre sented as saying to hia frien d : "T h e fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are under- lings.” It waa in this ancient soil that the fable o f Hercules and the man with the ox cart grew up. The cart had stuck in the mud ; and instead o f trying to pry it out himself, the man sat down and tegan to pray to H er cules to help him out. Suddenly H er cules appeared and said to him : " F ir s t put your own shoulder to the wheel. When you have done your best, then call upon m e ." When *he man (Continued on page 2.)
