LIVING BECOMES A HABIT
For Those Who Reach Maturity and
Form Many Ties, Dying is
No Easy Matter.

Living, like other acts often re-
peated grows upon us 1t is not the
child, it is not.the youth, even, who is
bound to life. That was a very rare
instance of the little boy who, res
cued from runaway accident With
his mother, turned to her and said:
"Oh, mother. Wasn't it good thing
/ was saved! 1t wouldn't have mat
tered 30 much for you If you had
died, because you're old. But am SO
young; it would have been awful for
me to die" AS rule, the young
child takes life and death together all
as matter of course, and there is
rarely any fear in childs mind OF
the hereafter, unless it has been sown
there by injudicious reading. But
those who have lived to maturity and
after; who are married to all the
sweet and pleasant habits of living;
who have learned to love and observe
the holy regularity of nature and to
watch the infinite variety of her
beauty; who find Themselves bound by
thousand ties to their fellow men,
kindred friends. and acquaintances
who see their lives all woven into the
pattern of the other lives about them
who delve into human history and
watch for each sign OF progress, each
inclination and tendency--for these it
is no easy matter to turn ones eyes
to the great. dark beyond and go out
into the utterly unfamiliar and I'M
known.--Louise Collier Wilcox, in

DRIVERS SHOULD
Obey SIGNALS
Railroad Men Sound Word Of Warning
to Those Who Disregard the
Signals of The
Flasman.
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
Many catastrophes Are Due to the
careIessness Of People Who
Cross in Front Of
Trains.
PREVENT ACCIDENTS

Local railroad men sound a note of
warning to drivers of vehicles who
disregard the signals of the railroad
crossing flagman and run risk by
trying to get across the tracks in
front of a moving locomotive.
The greatest danger that threatens
Ia vehicle, street car, or even a pedes-
trian, they say, is the possible break
ing OF draw bar on some car neat
the engine of the train. A train OF
forty freight cars is a heavy load for
La locomotive, and the engineer must
put on considerable power to move
such train. Should draw bar break
on car near the locomotive, the en-
CINE freed OF its heavy weight would
leap forward with such speed that
even the most watchful pedestrian
would have hard time in getting out
of the way, and wagon, automobile,
or street car would never be able
to get off the track before it would be
struck and smashed to pieces by the
locomotive.
The railroad men say that this
danger of broken draw bar, OF which
most people are ignorant, is no I'M
common occurrence. Several trains
have been torn in two by broken
draw bar this winter.
Take Great Chances,
What railroad me say is no "pipe
dream" for one has only to stop near
one Of the most frequented railroad
crossings in the city, and watch what
is going on. The crossing flagman
usually gives his signal when the
train is block away. Many drivers,
however, disregard this signal, and
when the locomotive is 100 or even
1 fifty feet away, they dash across the
tracks with their wagon or buggy, or
automobiles and pride themselves on
being wonderful drivers in getting
across the tracks to avoid being de-
llayed by long freight.
But, when one of these wonderful
drivers starts across the tracks he is
taking great chance. Should a draw
bar break when the engine is 100 OF
fifty feet away from him, his vehicle
would be smashed to splinters, and
there is no telling what would hap
pen to the driver.
The draw bar is only one of the
many dangers which threaten the
driver, and when it is considered
that many other dangers prevail or
railroad crossings. the drivers should
watch out, to some extent for theil
Town safety.
The railroad man, not the official
but the common flagman, engineer
conductor, fireman or brakeman, has
a big interest in giving this warning
Ito the public. 1t is he who is most re
4 sponsible for the safety of the people
who cross the tracks, and it is usual
lily he who suffers if an accident hap
pens. Very often a careless driver
takes a big chance and gets strucl
by the big locomotive. Then there i.
an investigation, and somebody lose!
. his job.
1t is no small matter for railroad
man to lose his job. Almost ever!

Is giving all of his energy and intelli
t. gence to his trade to work up rec
y ord and be able to go on the pension

Not Always to Blame.


The greatest trouble is that the rail
road man is not often the primary
cause Of an accident On such cross
ings as there are in Keokuk, it
is very difficult to protect the public
properly. The public seems to know
this, and every person takes care OF
his own safety as best he can. When
an accident occurs, somebody must
be punished, for the cause must be
found and usually one or two rail
readers, who probably could not avoid
the accident, get their walking papers.
There are many things which are
always on the mind of the railroad
man when he runs his train through a
city. He must run the train so as
to reach his destination, he must
not block the crossings in the city
and he must avoid accidents. To run
train on tracks which are con
tinuously crowded, is no small mat
ter. Time is lost in breaking trains
to open street crossings and in wait
ing for other trains and switch en-
gines which happen to be on the
main line where they do not belong
With the switchman it is vice versa
for they must be on the lookout fol
freight trains and passenger trains.
With the flagman 1t is the same. He
works eleven hours each day, anG
during these eleven hours he has not
one minute to eat his dinner. He musi
eat a bite now and then when nc
trains are passing, and must never
| forget himself while eating, for his
/ forgetfulness might cause disaster
To make his position more exacting
drivers and pedestrians do not obey
his signals, and when train ap
proaches, he must run back and forth
pulling the unknowing or careless
pedestrians out Of danger.

EATS 81 EGGS TO

Sanders 500 that Volz could de-

Sanders sought the advice of
a doctor and received a reply to
the effect that it was impossible
for anyone to accomplish such an
undertaking.. He then took up
the wager with Shapiro and sup
plemented it by making a similar
bet with Volz.
After eating the eggs Volz took
