or a defective iron. but the accident
occurred while the train was running at
tremendous speed probably so to 20
miles an hour-around n curve. The
entire train with the exception Of the
rear car had cleared the curve when this
coach was snapped off the track. The
car turned on its side and went grinding
along the outside track, on which It
had fallen for 200 yards. Then the pull
upon the three other wooden coaches
ahead of II became so great that they
also left the rails and turned over. As
these four cars were dragged along the
rails they were literally ground to pieces
and passengers in them were fairly
shaken to death Before the motorman
could stop his train the two motor cars
also had been pulled off the rails. but
remained standing, as did the smoker.
The dead and injured were strewn all
the way from 2O1st street on under the
Woodlawn iron bridge at 2O4th street.
and then to 207th street, where the train
finally came TO n stop.

A laugh can faScinate-and a laugh
can repulse. 4 merry, musical
laugh is 'an excellent thing in wo-
man." Strange that women do not
cultivate it. They are intent on
making the most Of their personal
gifts, but they neglect two of these
two, that if cultivated would add
much 70 their attractiveness-t the
laugh, and the voice in speaking.
In conversation few female voices
are musical or expressive, and few
laughs are anything but giggles.
Parents and teachers ara far from
giving needed attention to the voices
of children in everyday speech.
To be impressed with this, listen
attentively for a while TO the voices
of those about you. Note how few
enunciate distinctly. how still fewer
moduiate their voices or put into
them the required expression. Yet
every one ieels the charm OF beau
tiful voice. Il could listen to her

In our schools. we have teachers of
