*“‘What Fools These Mortals Be,” Said the Poet Historian. The advancement of civilization does not curtail the duties of the fool killer and there is always plenty of work if advantage is taken of the situation. Last Sunday Martin Young, of North Richland township, was out hunting. The bright thought struck him of pouring some powder on the ground and touching it off with a match. He did so and the flame reached the quarter pound flask which he held in his hand. An explosion followed which kept young Mr. Young busy lo cating his head for some moments. He finally got home and Dr. Cameron, of Evansport, was called to attend him. The boy’s face was fear fully burned. Dr. Cameron says that if the powder flask had been a little nearer Young’s head it would have blown it off.
