THE MISTAKE OF SELLERS,

Let the Wires Alon Q.

There is scarcely q day passes that
the daily papers do not have an ac-
count of some accident caused by the
desdly electric wires. Most of them
are linemen, whose business Is to at
tend to the wires but sometimes per-
sons who have no necessity for touch
ing the wires are injured or killed,
and therefore the advice given by an
exchange is timely and should be heed
ed:
ut is always best to avoid danger,
if possible therefore, there is one rule
which ought to be taught In every
school in the United States, and that
is, never lift an electric wire off the
grouud. So long as it is on the ground
It Is harmless, no matter what pres
sure may be on it. The moment 1t
leaves the ground it may be danger
Gus. If it is in the way of traffic you
may safely pull it across the street
with your foot; then put your foot on
it and hold it on the ground and 1t
cannot hurt you, but do not lift It,"
Don't touch it all and, II possible,
don't let it touch you.
