Reckless Running Of Electric OaRs.
To the Editor Of The Evesing starr

1 want to make q vigorous complaint Of
the reckless manner in which the Tsniey-
town electric cars are run At night. and Of
the dangerous speed Of the cars in q Dor
ton OF the country where there are numsr-
Gus grade crossings.
For almost the entire portion OF its route
between Georgetown and Tenleytovn the
road runs close TO the right hand side OF
the turnpike and thereby renders the grade
crossings more dangerous the cars come
unperceived from the crossroads. There
are several main Travelled roads crossing
the Tenleytown line. which are often crowd
ed with vehicles from the city during the
early hours of the evening. The electric
cars dash over the crossings 1t fun speed.
and frequently the warning bell IL not
sounded until the car IN almost upon the
crossing and going at such q rate that IL
would be impossible to stop Il In time 20
avoid an accident.
L object TO the generally high rate OF
speed maintained along the entire line at
night, for the cars run faster after dark.
when more precaution Ia necessary. than In
the daytime. The Tenleytown turnpike 10

If we would overcome the laws of nature.
we must not resist; we must balance them
against one another.
There is nothing ignominious about pow
erty. 1t may even serve as a healthy slim
illus to great spirits
1t is not in our open exposed deeds that
we need the still voice of the silent monitor.
but in the small secret everyday acts of life
There is less misery in being cheated than
In that kind of wisdom which perceives. or
thinks it perceives, that all mankind are
cheats
If we could read the secret history of our
enemies, we should find in each mans life
sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all
hostility.
A face which is always serene possesses
mysterious and powerful attraction. Sad
hearts come to it rs to the sun to warm
themselves again.
Work paves the only way leading to
knowledge. The way is n long one and the
difficulties in it are many, but step by step
it can be tIaversed if labor be the guide.
You must not only work, but you must
order your work with intelligence; YOU
must he preparing the way for what you
want to become, as we'll as do what lies to
your hand.-Montreal Star.
