A FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.

He slipped and sat down. His right
leg stuck straight over the rail. The mo-
torman wound up the brake like a 50
watch and held his teeth together as the
wheels rolled over the limb. Women
screamed and strong men sickened. They
all bundled out OF the car. A little way
back the man sat on the pavement, grin
ming. Splinters protruded through the
trousers leg that lay across the rail. And
the crowd gasped. A few gathered up
several of the splnters that were strewn
around and carried them away as SOU
venirs.-Detroit Free Press.
