Gambling With Death

CEENG boys and older men climb through or freight

than wait for the trains to pass makes think Of the
Tecessness Of people who chance the loss Of life at
least very serious injury in order to avoid wait Of
few minutes. It's gambling hes against fraction Of

There the case too, Of Thomas Beach, boy ten
years old living at Maria, Texas who was killed on August
as result OF hopping freight tram Whatever his

is no consolation now for his relatives.
It unfortunate fact that many people fail to profit
from the experience of others and this confined
children but is condition among persons Of all
ages and It is true also that houghtesness and careless
the part of individuals have frequently caused the
loss Of life limb when moments reflection might have

Railroad crossings station yards and tracks

pass upon them without injury does not lessen the average
Of danger which the situation always contains.

PRISONERS
IN TURKISH MINES

Rome. (by maiD.-From our soldiers
just back from Austrian prison camps
through exchange, it is learned that
Austrian political and military author
tiles some time age began to send
Italians captured in the war to Hun
gary, where they are hated worse than
they could be in the provinces of Aus
tria, properly speaking; and aver to
Asia Minor to work in the lead mines
for the Turkish government.
There are two reasons for the
change. The first one is to prevent
the prisoners from becoming acquain-
ted themselves with conditions in Aus
tria and making them known to the
Italian government. The second is that
the contact Of Italians with individuals
OF the oppressed nationalities gave q
new spur to the movement started by
them for freedom.

Monsieur lie President, Hip

fession."
"Hippolyte Fauville was q
mailman and capable of reason
ing with the most appalling logic.
Some years ago, at Palermo,
Nine. Fauyille had a very bad
fall, hitting her mouth against
the marble top Of a table, with
the result that a number of her
teeth, in both the upper and the
lower jaw, were loosened. To
repair the damage and to make
the gold plate intended to
strengthen the teeth, a plate
which Nine. Fauville wore for
several months, the dentist, as
usual, took an impression of her
mouth.
IN. Fauville happened to have
kept the mould; and he used it
to print the marks Of his wife's
teeth in the cake Of chocolate
shortly before his death and in
apple on the night OF his
death. When, this was done, he
put the mould with the other
things which the explosion was
meant to, and did, destroy"
Don Luis's explanation was
by a silence. The thing
was SO simple that the Prime
Minister was quite astonished.
The whole tragedy. the whole
charge, everything that had
caused Marie's despair and death
and the death of CASTOR Sauver-

themselves so enthusiastically in
