A DANGEROUS PASTIME.
Snow Embanknents an Irre-
sistible Attraction to Chill
dren Who Overlook
the Trolleys.

Hundreds of children are constantly
seen tripping over the huge embankments
of snow that still line the curbs of the
thoroughfares trayersed by the trolley
cars. Like all children they seek delight
in racing over these heights of snow in
stead Of walking along the sidewalks.
and they are frequently ignorant Of the
danger they run into. While the big EN-
bankments appear to be some distance
from the trolley tracks the bodies of the
cars almost scrape them and one slip
over the frozen snow at moment when
4 trolley car is passing would mean a
horrible death by being ground under the
wheels and iron gear of the car.
As soon as the public schools sessions
are over nearly all the children make for
these embankments. Whey rush over
them in crowds jostling and pushing one
another and even big policemen stationed
at each school at opening and closing
hours find it impossible to stop them and
shudder as they watch the spectacle.
A policeman stationed in front of one
Of the largest schools in the city at the
closing hour almost exhausted himself
in efforts to keep hundreds of children
from racing over these elevations. He
asked why the principal and teachers did
not warn the children when they dis
missed them from school against the
danger Of the sport. That he said,
would be almost all that would be nec-
essary and would save the policemen on
duty from much labor and disturbance of
mind, as they feel in great measure re-
sponsible for the safety of children rush
ing out of school.

Much anxiety prevails in quarters re-
