r. R. WRECK AT HOISINGTON

Hoisington, Kas., March East
bound passenger Mo- ran into the
rear end of a freight train just within
the yard limits west of Hoisington,
Saturday night. The freight pulled
in from the West and was in charge
of the yard men, who had backed it
out on the main line to let the train
from -GreatsBend in. No. 2 was
going about 80 miles per hour when
it collided with the freight. No one
was seriously hurt; but Engineer L.
w. Gretchen jumped from his engine
No. 2. before it struck and hence has
many bruises about the face
Engine 9 left the track and turned
partly over on her side and what wood
work there was on her took fire. The
fire department was called out and
the flames extinguished before any of
the coaches were burned
The caboose on the freight was
completely demolished, and few. box
cars smashed up. The wrecking crew
turned the engine back on the track.
and by Sunday evening there was
nothing left to mark the spot of the
disastrous wreck except the cupola OF
| the ill-fated cabocse
The cost of this wreck would with
out doubt have equipped side-tracl
enough to hold cars SO this would have
never happened. Hence the moral o.
extravagant economy.

In every large city of the country,
where people swarm like bees in the
tenement districts, breeding poverty,
disease and crime, there is an army of
charity workers toiling busily all day
and every day. Some are the paid
agents of charitable societies, others
are amateur workers; all are enthusi-
astic and untiring.
The public knows practically nothing
of the way they work or the problems
they have to solve hour by hour and
day by day, for the bald annual re-
ports of charitable societies tell little
of the human side of the work, The
public gives the money and imagines
that the spending of it is an easy task.
A day with charity worker in a
sum district would disabuse anybody
of that idea. Here is the record of one
such day spent in great American
city.
This particular charity worker is q
good type of his kind. He was cow
boy and deputy marshal in New Mex
leo and Texas, a war correspondent in
South America and chief of police in
a wild Alaskan town before he took up
his present work. Most of the best
charity workers are men and women
who have "roughed it, themselves.
AS he took a hurried breakfast at his
home he glanced quickly over big
mail. 1t consisted almost entirely of
letters of thanks from people he had
helped. applications for further relief,
and confidential reports from other
charity workers respecting cases in
which they were mutually interested.
mo time to answer them now he
said, pushing the letters aside. 81 must
tackle them after l get home tonight
A Charity Workers Letters.
The busy charity workers CORE
spondence is as heavy as that of the
average business man, but he has to
attend to it in odd moments stolen
from his sleep or his family life.
After breakfast the charity worker
hurried to his office and found several
human derelicts waiting there for
him.
Hello, Mrs. Jones'" he said. taking
pale-faced, sad-eyed baby from the
arms of a weary, work-worn woman
dressed in rusty black. "Jimmy's sick
again, is he?"
He quickly examined the youngster.
Like many charity workers, he has
picked up a good deal of medical
knowledge.
''Bronchitis!" he exclaimed. you'll
have to watch out for him, Mrs.
Jones. Take him to the hospital.
Here's a letter to the doctor" hastily
scribblng one-"and here's your car
fare"
