DISASTERS

Day after day Yoo read IN
the teiegraphic columns OF
the newspapers Of awful dis
,asters and you are astounded
at the number Of people who
are killed or injured. In the
wreck near Los Angeles, .
! few days, ago, 81 @Mystie
Shriners" were killed and
many were Seriously injured.
In a mine fire In Colorado the
same day 70 persisted. This
seems a large number for one
day-yet II Is insignificant
when you reflect that news
papers polish only sensa-
tional accidents, and that on
the same day 1900 more were
killed or injured. The record
Is truly appalling.
The total number Of ae-
cidents IN the United States
EACH year Is nearly
Eleven Millions
Nearly 5000 each day or SIS
each hour day and night.
1906 established the most
fatal record Of disasters upon
land and sea of any year In
the history Of this country,
bot 1907 bids fair to be more
~ fateful}still.
Here is Food for
Reflection
The FOOLISH man waits
until the "horse Is out Of the
stable" before locking the
doors, the WISE man locks
thesdoors before.
Likewise, the wise man
takes his Accident Insurance
BEFORE he meets with an
accident.
Every minute In the day
you are liable, to Accidental
Death or Injury.
The Moral Is: Insure in
THE TRAVELLERS! DO
IT NOW!

PRESIDENT And General Manager Again
In Montgomery After Absence.
Richard D. Apperson. president Of
the Montgomery Traction Company, and
w. H. Ragland, general manager. re-
turned to Montgomery yesterday.
Mr.. Apperson, who is interested in
a number of other corporations in ad-
dition to his connection with the Trac-
ton Company, has not been in Mont
gomery since things began to quiet
down in the strike situation.
Mr. Ragland has been in New York
for about ten days.
Neither of these officers of the COM
pany had anything further to say than
that everything was progressing to
their satisfaction and that from all
appearances the trouble between the
Traction Company and the strikers was
thing of the past.

delicate. looking woman. still young, and
with O naughty expression upon her pale,
Clear.cut features.
She was a votary Of fashion. utterly given
over to the. world and its ways, to the full
extent Of the colonel's not unlimited purse.
For the world of fashion alone she lived

to this nineteenth century mother than the
happiness and peace Of mind Of her only
hid Esme was beautiful; Esme. must
make a grand marriage; that was the one
aim and object of this devoted mothers
existence. But a mesalliance would be
worse than death. 1t meant social extinc-
tion,, and that to Mrs; Lyell was the great
est disgrace that could befall her child.
She had set her heart upon Esme mar
rying Paul .Ernscliffe. The sudden and
mysterious death of the. young millionaire
was a blow from which Mrs. Lyell felt
herself unable to rally.
