THE CAUSE.
There is no cause for alarm in sta
tistics on railroad accidents lust is
sued by the government 1t is stated
that more than 20 per cent of the de-
railments during the quarter of the
year ending March 80, were directly
traceable to defective roadway and
equipment, and of the derailments due
to defective roadway, more than 20
per cent were caused by broken rails.
On the face of these figures it may
appear that American steam railroads
are dangerous means of travel. OF
course the nation will welcome the
day when equipment can be made so
well that accidents due to defective
workmanship will not occur. The in
auguration of the block system, mod
ern air brakes and other inventions
have lessened considerably the toll of
deaths from railroad accidents during
the past few years. 1t will be a great
feather in the cap of American roads
when equipment will be strong enough
to prevent accidents on that score.
But on the side of the railroads in the
United States it can be said that no
where in the world is to be found a
higher grade of equipment, more
modern conveniences for travel and 4
higher rate of speed. When the
speed attained by he transcontinental
palace trains is considered, it is a
wonder that the number of accidents
is not larger than it is. Another con-
sideration must be given the railroads.
Many of the accidents on railroads
OF the railroads or to employees. In
other words, carelessness is the cause
of deaths and injuries to many people.
In Europe the pedestrian isn't allowed
to walk over railroad rights of way
with the air of a monarch of all he
surveys as he does in this country.
More stringent regulations against
trespassers might tend to lessen the
toll Of accidents every year.-Ottawa

BE MASTER OF YOURSELF.
The world belong to the man who holds
himself, who is the master of himself.
1t is sometimes hard to master oneself,
it is so much easier to blurt out some
word that will lose you your advantage.
The man worth while is the man who
keeps the advantage by holding mas
terry over himself. The man who goes off
quickly on the trigger always loses
ground The world needs strong men,
men of mastery and the first step is to
master yourself. Every time you are
tempted to lose your temper and weaken
Your case and you win in the fight thank
the Lord for His help. 1t is another VIC
tory towards being strong.-Lawrence

ON TIE SPUR
or THE MOMENT
By ROY X. MOULTON.

Ever Know This Man?
Ebenezer Amos Blue
Journeyed his existence through
Worrying from morn till night.
Nothing seemed to go just right;
And he wandered through the town
Spreading news of discomfort,
Each and every place he went.
On his shoulders, sure as fate,
Rested all the cares of state.
1t was his life mission to
Pull his country safely through.
Worried when he went to bed,
Fearing that he'd wake up dead.
Worried when he rose next morn,
Said he wished he'd ne'er been born.
When day opened bright and fair
weather BREEDER" he'd declare.
Folks would walk around a block
To dodge Ebenezer's knock.
Other fellers got ahead,
Spite of all that Eben said.
Spite of all the warnings he
Gave them absolutely free.
He smelled trouble for a mile
In the true detective style.
Worrying he couldn't shirk.
Didn't leave much time to work.
No one seemed to realize,
Nor was willing to surmise
What the world was coming to,
Same as Ebenezer Blue.
Some folks thought the future bright,
He said they were fools. all right.
Lost his appetite and say,
He was thin as any rat.
Care. you know, will kill cat,
And he left this vale of tears,
At the age of thirty years.
4 Card of Thanks.
The thanks of the author is due to
the friends who so generously shingled
his house this week. For some time
he has had to raise an umbrella in the

while his good wife was making her
way from the cook stove to the cup
board in a gasoline launch. The baby
is an expert swimmer and is very
much put out over the fact that her
aquarium has been closed up. But
thanks for the shingles and the put
ting the roof. The lumber trust
unconsciously donated the shingles
and the operation was performed by
admiring friends. Their generosity
and kindness shall never be forgotten.
