InexcusabIe Accidents.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: 1t is a rare
week which passes without the record
Of fatality at rail and road cross
ing. Usually a railway train crashes
into an automobile with disastrous re-
suits. The latest instance is the kill
ing Of four men at crossing in Wis
consin. As usual, the occupants Of
the car did not see or hear the ap-
preaching train and were caught at
the crossing.
The common sense view is that such
an accident is so readily avoidable
that it is wholly inexcusable. What
ever may be the law. and while gem
eral opinion fixes upon the railway
company responsibility for whatever
accident may occur upon its line,
there can be no doubt that every such
crossing casualty might be avoided by
the exercise of ordinary precaution by
motor car drivers. Every grade cross
ing is conspicuously labeled; it is
practically impossible for a driver to
run upon the tracks without notice. 1t
is an easy matter for a driver to be
assured Of a safe crossing before ven
turing, but impossible for the driver
of locomotive to obtain the same as

assume that all other vehicles, with
notice Of the danger, will take the
commonest precaution before crossing
railway tracks.
1t may be the unpopular view to
exempt the railway from blame and
responsibility in fatal accidents of
this nature, but little consideration
will show, and the facts generally
will prove, that the chauffeur took

without first assuring himself. by a
cautious approach, that no train was
at hand.

Wall, no! I can't tell whar he lives
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways, he's got out Of the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
year,
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
checks
The night Of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez-under.the-hill.
And another one here in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim.
And an awkward hand in a row;
But he never flunked and he never
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine we'll;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell;
And II ever the Prairie Belle took
A thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle agin' the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Missis,
sipp.
And her day come at last:
The Movaster was better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be
passed
And so she came tearin' along that
night
The oldest craft on the line
With a Niger squat on her safety
valve,
And her furnace crammed--rosin
and pine.
The fire burst out as she cleared the
bar.
And burnt a hole in the night.
And quick as flash she turned and
made
For that willer bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cussin,' but
Jim yelled out,
Over all the Internal roar;
"Ill hold the nozzle agin' the bank
Till the last ga1oot's ashore"
Through the hot black breath of the
burning boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard.
And they all had trust in his cussed.
ness,
And knowed he would keep his
word.
And. sure's you're born, they all got
off
Afore the smokestack fell:
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint, but at Jedg-
nent
I'd run my chance with Jim
Longside Of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with
him.
He seen his duty-a dead sure
thing
And went for it thar and then:
And Christ amt a.goin' to be too
hard
On a man that died for men.
