Railroad Workmen Of Experience Talk
II Over.

In the switchmen's shanty In the
railroad yards the other night they
were talking Of railroad accidents
and what caused them, says the Kan
sas City STAR
Il saw in the paper the other day
that the railroads were blaming the
accidents upon incompetent en-
ployes." said an old switchman who
had worked, IN his time at all kinds
OF railroad work. Let me tell you
the reason OF so many accidents.
The law used to require the railroads
to have six men to take care OF every
six miles Of track. Now three section
men care for nine miles. That gives
the men too much to do and they
can't keep the road in repair and
watch it as they ought to. The law
ought to force every railroad to have
a watchman on every bridge, night
and day, and when 1t was rainy and
bad the section men ought to go over
the track three times day."
That's all right, said the foreman
Of the crew IT'S good thing and
would prevent most Of the accidents,
because the great majority of them
come from a defect in the track or In
a bridge. But / would make the rail-
roads. in addition to that, have q track
walker who would 80 over the bad
nlaces in the track after a train
passed. Many accidents are caused
by a train loosening bolt or crack
ing a rail or weakening the track
some way, and the next train that
comes along goes Ia the ditch,
Boys, let me tell you" said the en-
eineer. who was sitting upon bench
filling his pipe. The railroad COM
panies can never prevent accidents
until they give their employees time
10 sleep and rest. You've all seen an
engineer who's been on his engine
from "a to as hours be sent out on
run again with only four or five hours
sleep. A man In that condition can't
keep awake. Then, again, an engine
ought always to be inspected after II
comes in off a run Yet 1t isn't done.
And they make one car inspector do
four mems work Lots Of cars are
IN the road that ought to be in the
shops
A switchman, who was formerly
conductor Of a freight train, said:
40 save money the roads send out
so to 70 loaded cars with big mogul
engine instead of 40 cars. The conse-
auence Is the track spreads and the
next train weakens It little more
and the third goes into the ditch

HINT FOR LATE sTAYERs.
Custom Borrowed from the Beers TO
Get Rid Of Bores.

In South Africa candles are used
for lighting purposes in the homes,
and when young Boer maiden has
gentlemen visitors, the mother sticks
a pin in the candle, and when 1t has
burned to the pin the callers under
stand that it is time for their de-
parture.
Mrs. Early, a society matron OF
Washington, recently made a visit to
the Transvaal, and was impressed
with the custom of the Beers that
she determined to introduce 1t into
her own home Consequently the cleo
trio lights we're removed and candles
substituted In the drawing-room.
Mr. Staylate, frequent though not
always welcome caller, was one OF
the first visitors to call after the in
auguration of the new custom. lie
witnessed the placing Of the pin In
the candle by Mrs EARLY, and after
she had gone ventured to inquire:
why, Miss Early, does your moth
er stick pin in the candle?"
oh responded the young woman
with an air Of apparent innocence
"mother learned that in South Africa
as a way Of sending home the Beers.
