The sad accident occurring in Rich

fellow traveller lost his life in being

shows the needless chances and risks
many men on the road take in order

run to catch moving train or jump
of a train while it is yet in motion.
Dodging in front of moving locomo-

trains is a daily practice, and all for
what--to gain few minutes or to
satisfy the desire of the ambitious
traveller to be everywhere ahead of
the other fellow. Needless risks are
taken and in short time one grows
reckless and imagines because he has
never been caught he can do these
