Wesley Waldman, employed as

Wesley Waldman, employed as
a section hand on the D. & U.
railroad, was struck on the head
by the door of a passing freight
car last Saturday morning and
severely injured. He was en-
gagged in cutting weeds along
side the track at the time and
did not see his danger. The blow
knocked him to one side, away
from the rails, and rendered him
unconscious for awhile.
Oh, list to the bawl of the brin-
die cow when comes the dewy
morn; and note the hump of the
hired man as he cuts the ripened
corn. Observe the swig of the
Duroc pig as it fills itself with
swill, and make a note of the
William goat as he roams about
at will. At the break of day be-
gins the lay of the patient, tune
full hen. At night you're woke
by the rumbling croak of the
bullfrog in the fen. O'er the
grassy lea flies the bumblebee
with her stinger heated hot. She
seeks the hair of the heir and
generally finds the spot. With
sweaty clothes and blistered nose
comes the sturdy farmers boy,
he was hustled out by the farm
er's shout when sleep was his
chiefest joy.

TIVE Municipal league has renewed the
campaign for more adequate police
u protection for the residence dis
tricts.o of Los Angeles. Municipal Affairs,
the monthly organ of the league. in it's
December Issue says, in discussing this
subject just now dear to the hearts of
the people:
The enormous and rapid increase in the
of holdups, burglaries and other
forms OF thievery has caused a demand
for drastic measures, and brought ain
appeal from the chief OF police for more
men. 1t is evident that something must
be done. While thee have been con-
siderable additions to the police force it
Is still inadequate for patroling and pro-
tecting the city.
The Municipal league has several times
gone on record as favoring the installa-
tion of an adequate signal system in the
residence sections, holding that such a
system would be equivalent to the addi-
tion of a large number of policemen in
such districts where on account of the
scattered condition of the houses and the
infrequency of street lights, many bur-
glaTies and holdups occur.
More than two years ago the saloon
license fee was increased in order to pay
for additional policemen and for policA
signal system. The advance was made
on this understanding. The police force
was increased but the signal system
was not installed. 1t never has been

QUICK CONVERSIONS

MORE than 5000 persons in Chicago
N are reported to have been "con-
III verted'' through the efforts of an
evangelist who has been more or less
in the public eye of late While there
is no doubt that much good has been
accomplished by this travelling preacher,
as Is ordinarily the case, it is far from
likely that any such number of persons
as 1000 have actually been converted
as the result of the spasmodic evan
gelical labors exerted by him.
Experience has proved that the ma
5ority of the men and women who pro-
fess conversion during meetings such as
those which recently have closed in
Chicago are actuated by highly wrought
nerves and the dramatic appeal to the
finer sentiments which even the most
degraded among mankind at some time
or other exhibit. Passion in religion or
pseudo religious undertakings not in
frequently render persons coming
under the influence OF the promoters Of
such sentiments temporarily irrespon-
sfble. This is as true OF sensational

campaigns conducted on similar lines.
