The Final ANALYSIS.

Oh, the words We SquanQei l4gntly
In an effort to seem WISE,
When a man writes words unslghtiy
And of most unwieidy size,
Or when in tones of thunder,
His oojurgatory phrase
Calls the trembling crowds to wonder
At the terceness OF his ways.
When with epithets obtrusive
In a weird. incessant strain
He pours out lis mood abusive
And then starts 1t DER again,

When life was IN its bud,
To pave the way for his career

And as he grew TO youths estate
And energy ran high,
He Fashioned sundry balls Of mud

And even in his college days,
When energy ran higher,

PROGRESS.

He always wears a dinner coat
When he sits down to dine;
Behind his chair n butler stands
And at the proper moments hands
Him cigarettes and wine.
His father in his shirtsieeves ate.
And sopped Up gravy from his plate,
All poor old sinner.
He drank his coffee from saucer
And at noon had his dinner.
His wife puts on a special gown
For every evening meal;
For dinner she must have her hair
ARRANGED with more then common care.
And all her gems reveal
Her mother used 10 leave the tub
But long enouch 10 cook the grub;
With hair all ropey
She handed things across he table,

Collision
Results.

The total number of collisions of pas
senger trains in the United States last
year was 1851. The total number of
collisions in 1909 was 4,411. while the
total number for 1906 was 1874, and for
1905, 6224. The largest number of col
lisions for any year during the last ten
years was 8,O26 in 1907.
1t will be noticed that there has been
some falling off in the number of col
lisions, but with the block system in use
upon all the railways there should be no
collisions whatever. if instructions are
obeyed.

If you will examine the above figures
you will be struck by the almost uniform
number of railway employees injured or
killed every year. The number for 1908
was only 100 less than in 1910: there was
only sixteen difference in the totals for
1904 and 1910 and only twenty-five diff
ference in the totals for 1908 and 1910.

is shown that great trunk lines like the

1t is discouraging to compare the sta

injured in 1910 was greater than for any
year for which records have been kept,
the number of passengers and employees
killed was larger than for any year except
1897 and 1906. while the number of pas
sengers and employees injured was way
beyond the worst of annual records. The
number of accidents, however, was less
than the average.
