mind-reader.
1 asked the carmen themselves if they
minded accidents or if they found them
exhilarating. Strange to say, they don't
like the sensation of grinding folks. They
say the public believes that they take a
malicious delight in the spilling of blood.
And they feel that the hand of the public
is always lifted against them.
''Oh, yes, " said one, bitterly, 81 like it.
| sleep better when l have mangled a
child or two."S
Doubtless familiarity does breed some
carelessness on the part of the carmen. 1t
surely breeds contempt for an ever-present
danger on the part of the crowd.
A rapid street service is demanded in a
large city. Those who rave most over the
danger are the ones who want to speed to
and fro with the greatest velocity. If it be
conceded that the streetcar is a necessity
the public must make up its mind to take
in great degree care of itself. Each one
must appoint himself a committee of one
to look after his indivi dual safety. fit is
left to a conductor and the gripman to
watch every one OF large crowd, there is
going to be smash.
Instances of criminal carelessness on the
part of parents result in charges of man
slaughter against carman, whose whole
life must be darkened by the memory of a
tiny bl oodstained body drawn from under
his car.
Think of a mother from the country
sending two little tots who know not that
the iangling bell is warning of fearful
danger to cross Kearny street alone !
Think of parents leaving child of four
playing on the sidewalk while they visited
across the bay. If these pictures were put
in the papers and marked "gross careless
ness on the part of parents it would be
only truth.
In the residence districts the boys have
a habit OF jumping on the platform, riding
until the conductor starts for them, and
then jumping. Nice habit, that. There
are too many boys of certain kind in the
world, and a surer method of thinning
them out could rot be found. Still it is
hard on the conductor if be sees one of
them ground beneath the wheels.
