Stepped from Moving Train.

An Armenian narrowly escaped seri- ous injury and possible death We'd nesday evening at the union station on the arrival of the Boston and Hart ford passenger train due here at $50 o'clock. The stranger tried to get off the train before it stopped and slip ped or fell and was carried along be- heath the housing box of the forward pair of trucks of one of the coaches Tor distance of 90 feet or more, stop- ping with the train about opposite the ticket office window. The man rolled over and over, and all railroad men are wondering how he ever escaped without apparent injury aside from a shaking up. He was assisted to his feet and his clothing brushed up and ne was apparently all right. He could not speak English, as Agent A. L.. GrlsWold soon ascertained when ques- tlon1ng him. He had ticket for New York and was transferred to the Air Line train and sent on to his destina- tion- The wet slippery condition of the rails and platform was probably asfactor in keeping him from injury
 It was expected that his feet would be dragged beneath the wheels by ey- erybody who witnessed the mishap.

WELSH HOME LIFE UNIFORM.
There ls No Upper Middle Glass and
and Shop Keepers Are Usually
the Leaders.

The student of Welsh life and char.
acter who encounters almost any vii
lage in North Wales will be able to
acquire a full knowledge of his sub
ject without travelling a mile further.
For Welsh life has certain quality
of uniformity which is not found in
the other constituent peoples of the
empire.
Practically there is no upper middle
class in Wales. A few rich middle
class Welsh families there are. but
these, even If they keep up Welsh
home, usually draw their wealth and
spend it beyond the Welsh border. If.
however, the visitor wishes to know
who controls public opinion. who sits
ON the district and county councils, or
even who represents the division in
the house of commons, he had much
better regard the names painted over
the shop fronts than try to discover
the identity Of the occupants OF the
lavish red brick villa which looks
down into the village from its place
on the hillside. The owner OF the
villa. as likely as not, will be found
to be an Engiishman--a retired
Manchester contton spinner or ship
owner from Liverpool.
