IN A RAILWAY SMASHUP.
The Proper Thing to Do If You Have
Time Enough.

If you were a passenger on rail
road train that collided with another,
jumped the track, ran into an open
switch or fell a victim TO any Of the
other misfortunes that railroad trains
are heir to. what would you do or
what do you think you would do?
A writer in an engineering journal,
after describing from his personal OBJ
servation what most passengers do in
such times of stress and peril-that is,
''stand up and howl'-gives what he
calls sound advice. which is simply "to
drop upon the floor, preferably in the
aisle, or cling TO the seat frame"
That advice is not only sound, but
simple. The trouble, however, Is that
not one person in ten can tell with
any degree of certainty to what eX-
tent the same kind Of mental democrat
ization that causes the volunteer fire.

dow and tenderly carry feather beds
downstairs would possess him in such
an emergency. The man who believes
with absolute conviction that he

under all circumstances may be the

hanasd the Clever Foraere

OF curious petitions against the
death penalty being enforced one re
calls the eighteenth century case OF
William Lyland, who was sentenced
for forging bill for E7,114 on the
East India House The forgery was
a work of art. No less than thirty
signatures were initiated, and at the
trial not one of the victims could
swear that the signature was not his
own. However. with the help of the
paper manufacturers Ryland's guilt
was brought home. Then came the
petition of his friends. So clever a
man ought never to be hanged, they
pleaded. His craftsmanship should
save him. 1t gained him respite.
He was allowed to. finish fine en-
craving he had begun. but nothing
more. Though the engraver was ia
vorite of George III. that king quite
failed to see how forgery could be
excused on the ground that it was a
clever forgery. Mall Gazette.
