guished man who said only damned
fools vote. and he Is a high state ofh-,
cial.
II am willing to let all the women
do all the voting and let the men tell
them how to do 1t. Is there any sur
fragette In the world who would not
give up her principles for a nice man!
IN Great Britain there are about i
100000 women who have no men and
they are rather desperate. AS soon as
every woman has a man, the women
get to be very peaceful. do not blame
the women for getting mad. They
ought to tear down all England. But
voting will not get them husbands n
they will be as bad OF as ever.
81 feel both jolly and bully about The
subject OF equal suffrage. But we GER
tainly do not want to bring any new
source of discord into the household.
The political result would be the
same with all women voting) In this
country. The women would say Let
father attend to this matter; 1t bothers
our little heads too much
The English s~uffragettes who are
committing crimes would be locked up
here. The men, whether policemen.
judges or jurymen, do not like to hurt
the women, and that is the weak point
in the case"

QUICKSILVER BAD ON TEETH
Fumes Of Mercury Produce Salvation
and Miners Seldom Live More
Than Two Years.

Quicksilver miners follow the most
unhealthy trade in the world. The
fumes of the mercury produce con
slant salvation, and the system be-
comes permeated with the metal; the
teeth of the unfortunate men drop out,
they lose their appetite, become ema-
ciated and. as a rule. seldom live long
er than two years.
Chloride of lime. employed by
bleachers, frequently destroys the
enamel and dentine of the teeth. But
phosphorus, used 80 largely in the
manufacture Of lucifer matches, al
fects a very large number Of persons.
women. girls and children greatly pre-
ponderating.
People who work in soda factories
are affected by the teeth becoming
soft and translucent; they break on
close to the gums.
DR.. Hesse of Leipsic states that ba-
kers are likely to suffer from decayed
teeth on account Of the -four entering
the mouth during work collecting on
and around the teeth, where it decom-
poses and generates an acid destruc-
tive to dentine.

An interesting story OF a convict
and his two pet mice is told in the

Captain Hanson said the convict,
who was imprisoned at Parkhurst, had
two pet mice, but was ordered to an
other prison, where he was unable to
take his pets. Captain Hanson prom

Foot Crushed Under Wheels.

he had met with an accident while
trying to hop" a moving train He had

mark and was thrown under the WheeIs-

The most narrow escape I ever had
was near Yuma, Ariz. was riding the
bumpers. This is considered the most
dangerous method Of riding freight
trains, for one who rides in this man
ner stands on his imagination, requir-
ing considerable activity to maintain
his balance as the train lurcneS ana
sWerVes. The train which I was riding
was a heavily loaded fast freight. The
wind was very strong, and put both
hands to my head to tighten my cap
thus standing with one loot on one car
and one on the other, with the sole sup
port of each foot being a half-inch iron
rod. 1t was a dangerous thing to do
under any circumstances. Just at the
instant that l regalned my hold on the
grab-handle. the coupling broke be-
meath me, and I fell, hanging to the
car ahead by one hand. 1t was merely
strength that prevented my
grip from being lOOsened and L would

Ell Pasoan Forsakes Train Hopping"
Join the safety First Crusade
By RUPERT GILLETT, Ell High School

y UMMONED from the study hall at
the high school when Edward L.
- Tinker asked principal Hughey if
he knew Of any boy who ever stole a
ride on a freight train, I was quickly
converted TO the creed of safety first"
As I swung onto a westbound South
ern Pacific freight train at Stanton
street last fourth of July, I thought it
the easiest thing in the world 1 did
not dream il possible that my foot
might has slipped or that 1 might
have made a misstep as climbed over
those cars in the dark, and cause my
self to fall under the wheels and be
killed How many young men have
ridden freight trains under the same
impression, realizing the danger too
late when they We're numbered with the
1925 tramps who have been killed and
injured while riding freight trains?
Narrow Escape From Death.
This came near being my fate, when
/ was only 200 miles out of FL Paso. 1
was riding on the top of a refrigerator
my eyes to sleep and. naturally when
I lay down on the top Of the car, I
fell asleep How long I slept I don't
know, but I aWOke suddenly to the re
alizatiOn of the fact that / was sliding
off the top Of a refrigerator car that
was moving at the rate of 40 miles an
hour. To strike the ground under such
conditions meant instant death, and
was terrorized by the thought Of such
fate when. by the rarest accident, my
hand touched a grab-handle and auto
matically closed on it like wise, saw
ing my life. If I had been on the Op-
pOsite side Of the car, where there was
no grab-handle for me to clutch, 1
would not be here today. The expert
ence made me so weak that I could
only lie on the car, clUtching the brake
wheel IN fear.
Thrown BY Fast Train
A few miles east of MaricOpa, Ariz-,
had been .ditched," to use the Ian
guage of the tramp, at a sidetrack
where the trains never stop, and the
only way to get out of the predicament
was TO walk out. I stood there at
midnight. when I saw the headlight of
an eastbOund freight bearing down
upon me, and decided to catch it.
AS the train passed / did my best to
catch it, but I had underestimate its
speed. It threw me to the ground. my
head striking within six inches of the
