road Mems Song at Close of Service.

Rev. s. Trevena jackson, pastor Of
Simpson M. e. church, preached last
night to the railroad men. The
church was filled with men of that
calling. Mr.. Jackson took for his
text, "Aqult Yourselves Like Men,
and Let Your Lights be Burning"
In his sermon Mr.. jackson said that
a great deal of the credit for heroism
today went to the people killed on the
battle field, and too little was given
to the heroes Of their callings. He
told of the heroism of a number of
railroad men, and how they had lost
their lives in the saving of others. In
the United States today, he said, in
proportion to the number of miles of
railroad, the companies pay only
$4,000 mile to their employees while
in Great Britain they pay 1926, 900 per
mile, and in the little republic of
Switzerland over 100000 per mile.
He said that in no other country could
such conditions exist as they are to-
deg in Perth Amboy, endangering the
rlives of little children. But the time
Will como, he declared, when the rail.
roads will be compelled to build q
bridge either above or below all dan
ger points.
Mr.. jackson also told of the good
work that great body of men, known
as the Brotherhood of Railroad En-.
ployes, had done for their fellow man.
Al the end OF the sermon David o.
Noe sang the Railroad Mems Song. I"
He also made a few remarks about
belief in the Bible, telling how some
people, who love to do business on
Sunday, would like to see it destroyed.

While Cohoon has made a pretty
penny out of the porcupine law this
year, he doesn't believe in it. He rec
ogniZes the contention that the way
the average man hunts porcupines en-
dangers the forests, for they locate the
animal in tree and build a fire 10
smoke them out. When they have ac-
complished this they do not take the
trouble to eXtinguish the fire which
they have started. The fire smolders
and smOlders along and, if it's dry
time, there's a forest fire on. Some
times it doesn't destroy much timber,
but this is the exception which usually
proves the rule This is we'll recog-
nized by Cohoon, who's a man of in
telligence, and he doesn't believe in the
law To be sure he has, as stated,
made several dollars out of the law
this year, but. as he says it's the law
and why shouldn't he take advantage
of it, even though opposed to it?
In all he has killed 81 porcuplnes
this summer and in not single case
has he used a firearm or smoked the
animal out He has located the game
and then killed it with a club. He
says that it is the safest way, for the
forests, and gives more sport.
The last one he killed was up in the
top branches of a small tree. Fred
climbed up one which grew beside 1t
and when at the top, or sufficiently near
to reach the porcupine, he threw his
weight so as to carry the tree over
against the one in which was the por-
cupine. Then grasping both trees he
prepared to STAY the game with
the big club he had taken along for the
purpose. But the shock of the trees
coming together disodged the porcu-
pine and he came tumbling down. He
struck Cohoon in the breast and rolled
down over him, filling his sweater and
trousers with quilts. 1t was very for
tunate that none of the quilts struck
his face and eyes. The animal struck
a stump when it fell, with such force
that death resulted.
