TRAGEDIES ALONG THE LINE
Seems to Be Hard Thing to Edu-
cate the Public to Avoid
Railroad Dangers.

The generation that remembers the
beginning of the railroad has nearly
passed away, but younger one cas-
lily recalls the time when the railroad
was fascinating plaything as well
as a means of transportation.
To those in the country, and to
many in the city it was a convenient
highway, a short cut "to the depot"
or between points The inhabitants
used to gather at it to see the trains
go by. The children used to put their
crossed pins on the rails and wait
till train went by to get their "scis-
sors." They used to flatten cents by
letting the trains go over them. They
used the railroad in scores of ways as
plaything. Then the tramp found
this convenient highway; indeed, it
is even suspected that the railroad
had much to do with making the
tramp. He tramped it's ties by day
he camped by it's side at night. These
are few of the side ways in which
the railroad was used.
ty, even in it's early days, hundreds
OF tragedies along the lines have tes-
titled. But the danger has constantly
increased. Doubled and quadrupled
tracks, more frequent and swifter
trains whose speed made it unsafe
even to stand by the side of the tracks
when they went by, have steadily in
tensified danger. Grade crossings
have been replaced by bridges, ties
have been raised from the ground and
filed between with ballast of rough
crushed stone, everything possible
has been done to discourage walking
on the tracks, and still the killings
of trespassers on the rail are annual
ly far in excess of the number killed
in train accidents.

Mice Ate Peace Sermon.

In an address before the Mems club
according to Columbus Qnd.) dis
patch, Rev. Alexander Sharp of the
Presbyterian church there, who has
just returned from two months va
cation abroad, told his audience that
the last sermon he delivered to his
congregation before he left was an
earnest plea for universal plea.
Before departing he placed the SER
mon in his desk; on his return he
opened his desk, intending to reread
the sermon, but he found that mice
had eaten his universal peace effort.

The sudden and highly alarming IN

Fortunately the greatest food waste
with which the housewife has to con-

DOCTOR KNEW
Had Tried 1t Himself.

The doctor who has tried Postum
knows that it is an easy, certain, and
| pleasant way out of the coffee habit
| and all of the ails following and he
prescribes it for his patients as did a
physician of Prospertown, N. j.
One of his patients says:
During the summer just past l suf-
fered terribly with heavy feeling at
the pit of my stomach and dizzy feel
Ings in my head and then blindness
would come over my eyes so l would
have to sit down. would get so nerv-
Gus could hardly control my feelings.
Finally I spoke to our family physi-
clan about it and he asked if I drank
much coffee and mother told him that
did. He told me to Immediately stop
drinking coffee and drink Postum in
it's place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.
81 hesitated for time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally got package and found it to
be all the doctor said
"Since drinking Postum in place Of
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels
are regular and l am well and strong.
That is a short statement of what
Postum has done for me-"

Encouraging Economy.

Trifies begin to assume the i'm
portance of big things when you null
tiply them enough times. A gallon
of oil or a shovel of coal saved here
and there will soon pay the wages
of an extra man. Fifty shovels of
coal used unnecessarily ON a trip
means that the company will have to
haul an extra ton of freight 200 miles
to pay for it.
An engineer can rough-handle his
engine SO that he will not only waste
steam, and hence fuel, but he can jolt
and jar the locomotive so that the
mechanism will soon give out Rewards
are today offered on a dozen differ
ent roads to engineers and firemen
who make their regular trips on a
minimum supply of coal and Gil. This
policy of encouraging economy has
resulted in enormous savings Sun

ENGINEER SWEPT FROM CAB
Peculiar Accident That Left Locomo-
tive on Southern Railroad With
out Guiding Hand.

The lives of scores of persons leav-
ing Baltimore for Philadelphia on an
early morning train were placed in
peril a few days ago when the engin-
eer of the train, Benton L. Redmiles,
of 328 Federal street, was swept from
his cab by a piece of wreckage on an
adjoining track, and instantly killed.
That no other lives were lost as the
train rushed wildly through the coun-
try without guiding hand was due
to the fireman, who sprang to the
throttle and stopped the long line
of cars.
The accident was due to the break
ing Of car on a freight train bound
for Bayview.
At Orangeville there are four ad-
joining tracks. The freight train was
proceeding to Bayview, and had ar
rived at this point, when one of the
cars buckled over and across the ad-
joining track
Train No. %, local bound for Phila-
delphia, passed red lanterns trainmen
had hung up to warn approaching
trains of impending danger AS the
passenger passed the freight there
was a terrific crash as the overhang-
ing freight car tore the cab Of the pas
senger train apart Redmiles was
catapulted from the train, together
with the debris of the cab.
1t was then that the fireman of the
passenger train succeeded in stop
ping the train and saving the lives
of the passengers.

MADE THE FOR ONCE
OCCASION WHEN "OLD BILL" EX-
CEEDED SPEED LIMIT.
Circumstances Over Which Engineer
Had No Control Caused Pet Loco
motive to Exert Itself AS
Never Before.

"Old Bills fireman used to duck his
head every time he stopped over to put
in a fire from force of habit he was so
used to havin' Old Bill kick at him, J"
relates a veteran engineer in the Rail-
road Mans Magazine. And whenever
the brakemen wanted to know any
thing about their work, they used to
drop Old Pop Hickenlooper a postal
card.
"Old Bill was perfectly dotty about
his engine. He was eternally 'fussing
about the old mill. He couldn't run
her half mile without stoppin' to oil
round. He would steal oil for her
from the other engines, besides using
about three times as much as any
other man used that he got on requisi-
ton. He wouldn't crowd her over
eight miles an hour for fear of heating
her brasses, and he simply wouldn't
pull full train.
''Any of you fellers that have been
over the Denver & Rio Grande knows
that comm down the Cimarron canyon
is like fallin' down well. Pop Hick-
The Winslow mail., 1914-11-28

enloOper was at the Summit one day
The orders didn't allow any time for
pickin' flowers, so they started right
down the canyon, with Old Bill grum-
bin as usual because his darling old
mill would have to turn her wheels so
fast
HE had string of dozen empty
flats, with a hundred Italian shovel
ers for passengers. Old Bill worked
steam little till he'd got 'em a rollin'
nicely; then he shut off, stretched him
self out on the seat-box, and prepared
for a comfortable ride, expectin', of
course, that the brakemen would do
the rest.
"This was in the good old days of
the Armstrong brake, you see. He
didn't take much notice until he saw
a Juniper bush on the rocks close be-
side the track bend violently over in
the direction he was goin', as no bush
ever does except in violent wind.
Then he yelped for brakes.
did anybody ever see flat-car any
where that ever had brake in good
order? never did. The only response
Bills call for brakes was an extra
squirt as them ornery flats dropped
down over a little pitch. Old Bill let
out another yelp and looked to see why
it wasn't responded to.
He saw the two brakemen on the
caboose platform, both swingin' on the
caboose brake, the only one on the
whole train that would hold two
ounces, with Pop Hickenlooper stand
in in the door, watchin' 'em with his
eyes stickin' out till you could have
used 'em for hat-pegs.
"By this time they were goin' so fast
that the wind picked up one of the
lightweight Italians and slammed him
back against the two brakemen, biff!
They all fell off. Old Bill kept yelpin'
for brakes and givin' her sand, while
the fireman made the greatest effort of
his life with the tank-brake. Another
Italian was picked up by the wind and
carried off, followed by another and
another until the train was depopu-
lated.
by this time the train was moving
so swift that it cracked like the snap
per on a whip every time it went
around a reverse curve The wheels
were spinning so fast that the hum
ming they made was keyed up to
pitch as shrill as the song of a mos
quito. In their wake was an odor of
scorching wood, caused by the fric-
ton of them old flats
They probably would have busted
out into a blaze if it hadn't been for
the creek. The road followed every
bend of the creek within three feet of
the water, just like all mountain roads
do. That train was goin so fast that
the suction just picked all the water
up bodily and eddied it around over
them flats, keepin' 'em thoroughly
drenched, and so preventin' fire"
