The total number of persons reported
by United States railways as killed dur
ing the year was $500 and the total num-
Der injured was 29,034. OF the killed
2451 were employees, 2s5 passengers and
1854 were ciassed as ssother persons" :"
This latter figure includes many suicides.
OF the injured, 22,390 were employees,
2444 passengers, besides 4200 unclassified.

ployed on the railways and one injury
for every SO men employed. The largest

The custom is growing among men of
moderate means to give their wives
stated sum for pin money and household
expenses. This goes into the bank now
adays, whereas it used to go into the bu-
reau drawer. Women can save money
better than men and many poor fellow,
when he thought he had reached the end
of his financial tether, has been agreea-
bly, surprised by his wife's bank account
and helped out of a very tight pinch.
Other men of improvident habits, but
with good salaries, give every dollar they
earn to their wives as soon as they get
it. These men always benefit by it, for
when it comes to close financiering in the
humble, every day walks of life, the
women are away ahead of US.

THANKSGIVING

lamations, telling us in general way
how much we have cause to be thank

DIR. Louis Barth is the possessor Of a
wonderful dog, an Irish terrier. The
animal is never separated from his
master, except on state occasions, when
be has important business elsewhere.
He goes with the doctor when he is
making ms calls, and runs ahead and
sits in front of every house where there
IS sick patient. He never makes a
mistake, and so reliable is he that DIR.
Barth carries no memorandum. Many
times the CANNES memory has proven
superior to that of his master. If the
physician should chance to drive by the

1t is only necessary to visit q house
once for the dog to remember it until
the patient is we'll, when the terrier
seems to realize that his services are no

doctor. But the dog, has one failing.
He is a kleptomaniac and carries oil

is an abundance of peaches. apples, ETC.,

turns his back the dog will

stops until the Office of the doctor is
reached. where he lays the fruit at the
feet Of the lad in attendance, and goes
out in search for more. He has never
been caught in the act of pilfering.
