grade and he gets careless. Then,
when you think about cities which
have very steep grades, like Kansas
City and Omaha, there is a small per-
centage of accidents, for every one is
careful. If there is an accident like
the one on that steep hill out in Gin
cinnati where a car plunged straight
down the incline, it is sure to be ter
rife and fatal to all concerned but
these occur so seldom that in the long
run a company that has a less dam
gerous route to cover loses just as
much through damage suits because
familiarity breeds contempt and people
get careless
Personally I don't think tenders are
much as life savers.
I'VE can't very we'll prove how eff
cacious they really are. If there is an
accident you can't tell how much worse
it might have been if no fender was in
use. On the other hand, if you have no
fender, you can't tell whether the use
of a fender would have prevented the
accident. From what I have seen l
believe tenders are really dangerous on
a crowded thoroughfare like Broadway
where cars run every half minute. A
pedestrian crossing the streets hur-
riedly, sees only the car, measures the
distance to the car with his eye and
forgets the existence of the fender. 1
think many a leg is broken unneces-
sarily by tenders.

thing, too, to have your road in good

laboring classes are down on a road
for any reason they can make it
mighty hard for US. Good will is worth
more, in making time, in a city like

rived and Changed Matters.
He was an orphan, or rather, he was
the only son of Plymouth Rock hen,
who was so exasperated at her ill-luck
in Matching only one egg out of thir-
teen, that she disowned her only chick
en- as soon as he was out.
AS none of the other hens would
adopt him. it was necessary to feed
him by hand.
Naturally, he soon grew very tame
and became a great pet-too much of
a pet, in fact: for one day he actually
decided that he had quite as good a
right at the dinner table as the rest of
the family.
Being particularly fond of mashed
potatoes, he would thereafter. if no
one was near, jump on the table and
help himself, and many dishful had
to be thrown out because he had peck
ed it.
A young niece in the family who had
not the patience of the older members,
made it her especial business to throw
the chicken out. But this did not
seem to hurt his feelings at all. He
would promptly walk in again with
out a shade of malice in his expression.
While he never went with other
chickens, he objected seriously TO their
ouarrels. and II he found two hot
blooded youngsters engaged In a duel,
he would run at full speed from any
distance and separate them. leaving

The kittens lives were made a bur

in the shape of an ambitious and ac-
tive puppy who was given to a MEM

Puppy was rather afraid of the kit

whatever for the Chicken Policeman.
So one day when that creature was
vigorously pecking a kitten, the puppy
grabbed him. and before help arrived
had shaken many feathers and all of
