ret our advice on the matter, have your

A WARNlNG.-An exchange says it is
better to miss the train than lose your life,
and there are few who will not admit the

ter they have started. If the loss Of a limb
is the penalty of the imprudcnt act, the
experience is a very severe teacher, but
where the loss OF life is the result, the OK
pcricncc is of no use to the offender
