ECONOMY in the matter OF safe
guards invariably proves expensive
to railroad companies in the end. 1t
is asserted that wreck which oc-
CURED recently on road leading out
of Chicago was directly due to the
closing OF night telegraph office in
order to cut down expenses; and this
In the face of the fact that tho road
was carrying 100, 900 passengers a
month more than its ordinary traffic
because Of travel to the worlds fair.
BY discharging telegraph operator
and closing the Office the company
..saved" perhaps SIS or $50 a month.
The wreck due to this economy will
probably cost the company anywhere
from $25. 900 to 800, 900 in actual
loss and damage suits, to say nothing
Of the bad reputation which the
wreck gives the road. which will lose
II many thousands more. There is
no necessity for pointing moral in

women Of all classes. They were
much slower In taking to it than
their English sisters, who have long
ago adopted the tricycle. as ladies'

ever, have gone beyond them. They
scorn the tricycle. and take to the
bicycle at once. Moreover, they
usually wear some sort OF suita BILE
