THINGS THAT DON'T HAPPEN.

Every newspaper has it's chronicles
of accidents involving loss OF life or
injury to the body more or less serious.
which cause the tender-hearted to
shudder and comment on the careless
ness and recklessness which cause such
happenings. Bad as these things are.
however, 1t is no great wonder that
they happen. The astonishing thing is
really the number of things that might
happen, but do not.
Most every one who is at all given to
observing things about him must see
the chances that are daily taken by
men. women and children in every large
and small community which is at all
busy and where the principal streets
are filled with all sorts of vehicles. and
where each driver of such vehicles
whether propelled by horse or mechani-
cal motor power, is bound to get sone
where at given time, or who Is de-
sirous of getting somewhere as soon
as possible. A chiid's carelessness is
pardonable and natural. But when
grown men and women, with Intelligent
faces. deliberately place themselves in
positions of peril for the sake of saving
few seconds time in crossing a
street,-a saving which is in no way of
any advantage to them except on rare
occasions,-it is difficult to feel the
sympathy they expect IL anything does
happen. 1t is often little short of
miraculous that nothing does happen
and that they gain the opposite side of
the street, breathless and painting. II Is
