TRAINS RUN TOO FAST

Washington, The Interstate
ion of H. w. Belknap, chief inspec-
tor for the commission, should have
the right to regulate the speed of
trains. The chief inspector made
this assertion before a house COM
mittee recently, and added that the
strain or engineers in the operation
of high speed trains was largely re-
sponsible for wrecks. Many of the
men on the engines, he stated, had
broken down early in life because of
the tense sompetition for speed, and
further stated that block signals
would not prevent accidents in the
absence off adequate regulations.
You are not going to stop accidents
unless you chec the speed ofk trains
There are no SpeedometerS on trains
and we know not how fast some of
them are operated if they are trying
to make up time. On poor pieces of
roadbed, when speed of not more
than fifteen miles an hous is justi-
ned, it is probable that many trains
are run at a rate of fifty and sixty
miles an hour, and here is where the
worst danger comes in" In ans
wer to question as to whether he
believed that dthe railroads woul
have to be forced to adopt protect
i've measures, Mr.. Belknap said: II
think our experience will be the
same as in the case of air brakes
and automatic couplers. 1t required
a law to compel the railroads to
adopt these safety devices" 90

A eulIsIesa Chinese Artist.

In the fourth century A. d. there
lived In China an artist who was also
a poet His name was Ku K'ai Chih
In London there is a painting, long
scroll, which for at least a thousand
years has been treasured as his work,
and, though that cannot be proved, it
is In all probability a painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he In
trusted to a friend chestful of paint
ings which he had collected. For bet
ter security he fastened the lid of the
chest and sealed the fastening with q
seal. The friend. however. coveted
the paintings and hit on the simple
expedient of removing the bottom of
the box and so abstracting them.
When the box was restored to Ku
K'ai Chih be broke the seal and found
it empty, But he suspected no theft
and expressed no surprise. Beautiful
paintings he said, communicate with
supernatural beings. They had changed
their form and flown away like men
when they join the immortals.-Louis

VIOLATING AGE-LINuT LAW

Erie. Pa, A number of arrests
have been made at the instance oil
the State Department of Labor
against the proprietors of cigarmak-
ing establishments, the Erie Saw
company, the Herald Box company
and the Jerecki Manufacturing COM
pany, for violation of the law which
says: That no minor under the
age of sixteen years shall be employ
ed in or about, or for any establish
ment of industry named in sections
and of this act; unless the en-
ployer of said minor procures and
keeps two complete list of all minors
under the age of sixteen, employed
in. or for his or her establishment
on file. The yiolators of the above
law pleaded guilty and were fined
SIS and costs. This is the manner
of conducting enterprises in Erie
and gives a good idea of the disre-
gard which the industrial establish
ments of this city have for the well
fare of their employees.

TWO EARLY BIRDS.

Ahead of the Other.

One of Them, Though, Was Safe Lap
Ahead of the Other.
King George and the Duchess OF
Fife are both keen anglers, and they
have long been rivals at the sport.
One autumn when the court was at
Balmoral both had hshed patiently for
some days In pool of the river Dee,
trying TO catch a particularly big salm-
on that was reported to be lurking
there. Each was anxious to beat the
other, so very early one morning King
George hurried off toward the pool In
the hope Of catching the salmon before
his niece was up.
To his surprise he found the princess
strolling beside the river, and she i'm
mediately began to cross examine him
as to what he was doing there so early
with his fishing tackle. In the end the
king had to admit rather shamefaced-
ly that he had intended to steal a
march on her and try to catch the elu-
sive salmon before she was up.
The princess read him a very severe
lecture on what she called his un-
sportsmanlike behavior and extracted
from him an admission that he was
sorry. Then. with a smile OF triumph,
she showed him her own fishing tackle
and the big salmon lying behind rock
on the bank She had been up just a
little before her uncle, bad caught the
salmon and had hidden it when she
saw him coming London Tit Bits.
