Around the Corner

1Ou AN OOAAA
Inst around the corner death turks for the unwary,
and this is particularly true of children.
The times when mothers save their children from IN
iurv or possible death are legion but the public rarely
hears about them, Only dad" hears the story when ne
gets home from work and finds himself faced with the
task of soothing mothers" nerves and giving MS OIL
spring a little paternal admonition.
But how easily and quickly death may come OCCASION
ally is given vivid illustration. One such occurred IN
Bismarck Thursday when three children were trapped
by the cave-in of a ditch in the northwest part OF tne
city.
One minute they were laughing and carefree, enjoy
inc q real Youthful adventure. The next they were face
to face with death. Only the frightened story OF a three
year-old boy to his grandmother saved them. Ana even
at that rescue came none too soon.
With life, as with liberty, eternal vigilance is necessary
and the innocent eyes of a child too often fail to see the
danger which turks in ordinary things.
The placid pond, filled with lily pads and bordered by
trees. may be one of natures beauties, and yet 1T can
be an instrument of swift and sudden tragedy also. "A
pail of water is just a pail of water until a child falls
head first into it. Then it becomes as deadly as any
constructor snake which might grasp the child IN Its
coils.
The vital statistics records of the state are filled with
instances in which help did not come in time. And each
of those instances is marked by a tiny tombstone on
some quiet hillside where a heart-torn mother OCCASION
ally goes to be once again WIN hr Attle one.
And vet. these are hazards which every child must face.
Every mature man looks back upon the adventurous
deeds of his youth with just a bit of pride. He remem-
bers when he walked across the long railroad trestle,
with fear in his heart that a train might. at any minute,
come around the distant curve and trap him there. He
remembers how he climbed to the tops OF the highest
trees and did a hundred and one other things which he
knew were unsafe but which were made worth while by
that fact alone.
And such men, looking back upon the days OF tnelr
own youth, worry a little about their sons. They can
not expect their sons to do, as boys, much less than they
did as boys. The history of their own youth tells them
that one of the greatest proofs of Gods providence is
the fact that as many male children grow to manhood
as do.
