When the doctor arrived. In the

GIVES GOOD ADVICE.
Applicable Not Only to Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Employees But
- Employees Generally

'The daily life Of railway men Is
surrounded with unusual hazards.
Long acquaintance with them has
made these hazards seem but a part
of the days work. Analysis OF
causes of injury, however, shows
that by far the larger percentage
could be prevented II all employees
were always on the alert to insure
absolute safety in=eyery operation"
| The-.above quotation contains the
text for1 a ashoeklet which thee
Il. shs' lz ilil e gezry enc q sthsir
SIS 900 employees. The Lines Of the
Pennsylvania System have determdn-
ed to redouble their efforts to in
sure to their employees social JUS
tice, healthful surroundings in their
work, and every safeguard against
danger.
The booklet to be issued by the
Pennsylvania Lines also contains
the following suggestions to the
men from the management:
This pamphlet is written in the
hope that Its suggestions may as
sist you in looking out for your
own safety. -s
cit is recognized fact that the
majority of injuries occur not as the
result of serious accidents which
attract public attention, but from
the comparatively trivial occurren-
ces of the daily employment-care-
lessness in getting on and off NOV
ing trains, or in the use of tools.
from reckless exposure to unneces-
sary risks, or from sheer thought
lessness.
$50 far as practicable, the Com
pany is doing what it can to elimi-
nate dangerous conditions, but it is
evident that that cannot bring about
material reduction in the number
of injuries without the hearty CO.
operation of the employees.
You are urged, therefore, not
only to watch out for your own
safety, but to warn other employees
of danger. and to discourage any
acts Of recklessness ON the part of
those who. by reason either of their
!nexperience or their familiarity
with their work, fail to take proper
precautions for the safety Of them
selves, their fellow employes.or the
travelling public"

A0W to Tedcha Child 10 Be Truthful

In the February Woman's Home
Companion appears, in the House
hold Problem" department, the fol-
lowing letter from a subscriber:
My little Marie, five years old,
tells me remarkable stories which
are evidently untrue. How shall l
teach her the difference between
truth and falsehood?" :
The editor of the department
makes the following answer:
''The line between truth and
faisehood is not an obvious one at
all times when people are fifty.and
a child of five should be pardoneI
If she does not see it plainly. Little
children live in a wonder-world.
They have vivid imaginations. Half
the time they are dwelling In a
fairy-story. Pay no attention to
extraordinary statements made by
Marie, if they have nothing to co
with i'll temper or naughtiness. The
way to make a child truthful is al
ways to speak the truth to the
child. Added to this, it Is well nev-
er to doubt child, but to accept
whatever the child may tell you as
perfectly true. A child should not
know that there is such a thing as
a lie in the world"

James 6. B|dine's Marvellous
Memory.

Brand Whitfock, the present Ma
yor of Toledo, O.. writing his per-
sonal "reminiscences in the February
American Magazine, tells the follow
ing story of an experience he had
with James G. Blaine, when, as a
reporter, he was assigned to report
a speaking tour with Blaine:
For a young correspondent who
had an eager curiosity about life,
it was an interesting experience to
go on a journey. remember my
delight in being assigned to a lit
tie trip down through Indiana with
James G. Blaine. He was then
Secretary Of State in President Har-
rtson's cabinet, and unhappy, as
most men are apt to be in public
positions, though sort of cruel
and evil fascination will not let
them give up the vain pursuit of
them-vainest. perhaps, when they
are won.
when I reached the station Mr..
Blaine was already there, walking
arm with lis son, Emmons. He wa
a gray man. dressed in gray clothes
with spats made of the cloth of hi
habit and there was about him a.
air of vague sadness. which in hi
high countenance became almost
pain, though just then in the com
partnership of the son he loved ,ther
was for a little while the expression

mercial travellers, farmers all sort

with my interest in the tariff
question, which then seemed to me
so fundamental, I did not lose the

I supposed no one in the world

When the freight train stopped on

to get out. The tramp answered the
order by coming toward the brake

from Reed gold watch, So in coin
and a pay check for 800.
AS quickly as possible, Reed called
for help and with Conductor Marts
started across the prairie after the
robber. Near lone tree they lost
track OF the fugitive. Marts returned
with his lantern to the tree and dis
covered the robber hiding there. His
order TO surrender was answered by

boats, he started through the jungle
with about thousand. For days they
struggled on, suffering intensely for
lack of food, for the Spaniards and
Indians had destroyed the villages and
crops along the way. At one point
they found a number OF leathern bags,
and made a huge banquet" upon
them. At another a few sacks of
meal, some plantains and several jars
of wine were discovered in cave.
On the sixth day after leaving Cruces
ascending a high mountain, they dis
covered the South sea. This happy
sight, as II 1t were the end of their
labors, caused infinite joy among
them" Then they came to a vale,
where they found plenty Of cattle, and
their period of starvation came to an
end with monstrous feast. Cutting
the flesh into convenient pieces or
gobbets, they threw them into the fire
and, half carbonaded or roasted, they
devoured them, with incredible haste
and appetite; such was their hunger,
as they more resembled cannibals than
Europeans; the blood many times run
ming down their boards to their
waists"
That evening the pirate band came

squadrons of horse, four regiments of
foot and huge number of wild bulls
driven by Indians. The Spaniards be-
gan the battle, but their horse were
useless, owing to the softness Of the
ground. The foot were held in check
by the fire of the pirates, SO the wild
bulls were driven forward but, fright

animals ran away. After two hours

Washington. Secretary Garrison
has before him Philippine slavery
report by w. H. Phipps, auditor for
the islands, practically backing up the
startling charges of Dean Worcester.
1t cites details of many cases of boys
and girls sold into slavery at prices
ranging from $50 to $500 gold, and
that heads of savage families sell their
daughters and regarded the practice
as a right.
The Phipps report is based upon in.
vestigations conducted under the d.
rection of the Philippine auditor by
district auditors. 1t was accompanied
by a list of sixty-seven persons held
as slaves, some being held outright
and some under the so-called debt
system, the fallacy of which is shown
by the fact that some of the slaves
so held are more than so years old and
have been held by their present own
