The above is question any one may
ask who happens to be at Emporia JUNO
ton at almost any time. They are town
boys certainly, and 1t is the parents Of
town boys we wish the attention OF for 3
few moments. The boys in question
amuse themselves by jumping on and of
Of trains In motion. God grant it may
never be 80, but ten years OF railroad life
and being an eye witness Of number Of
horrible accidents, has taught US that it is
only . question Of time with some OF the
boys around Emporia Junction, and every
other railroad station in the State. You
may give this q passing thought, but II
your child should ever be brought to you
killed or crippled for lite you win mourn
through . long sad life. Of'course you
cannot realize the danger your boy is ex.
posed to, but could yea see IS the writer
or almost any old railroad man has, q
child taken from under the train and car.

we do not think you would ever allow
your boy to play about . railroad yard
again. Does not the fact that experienced
railroad men are frequently killed con.

easily fall under train. That the slight
est misstep may ruin HIM for life. Ii
justice to your child keep him away from
the station. II you cannot keep hin
away yourself, point him out to the rail
road employers and ask them As 3 favor
to help you keep him away, and If the,
should spank him do not prosecute tn
Iemployee who does you his favor. Tai
may seem absurd but the writer saw Al
J employee pay . fine once in just such
|, eAse. It Is no use to talk to the boys. W.
believe IL should be 1sns for any one T.
get on or on OF train in molten, but .
