Pittsburg, Oct. 11. Trespassing on railroad property, in violation of the law, hat been responsible for the

deaths of 47,416 people in the United States in the last ten years. In the same period, more than 50,000 tres passers were injured. It is in view of these facts that many of the Important railroads have determined to redouble their efforts to secure in this country that rigid enforcement of the law against trespassing, which, in England, has reduced the practice and accidents to trespassers to a minimum. The number of people killed while trespassing on railroads has been increasing every year. In 1892, 4,063 trespassers lost their lives on American railroads; five years later the number was 5,000 and in 1907, the number killed was 5,612 more than 15 a day. These figures are taken from the annual reports of the Interstate Commerce commission. Pennsylvania Fatalities. Figures compiled by the Pennsylvania railroad alone show that 465 trespassers lost their lives on that system's lines in 1899; 781 were killed in 1904; while in 1907 the number reached 915 an average of almost three for every business day in the year. In the ten years prior to January 1, 1909, exactly 7,240 people, who were on the Pennsylvania's right of way in wilful violation of the law, and In spite of thousands of warning sigs along the railroad, wore killed. In addition, during the first six months of this year 2S5 trespassers were killed. It is not only tramps who are killed and Injured while trespassing though thousands of them lose their lives in this way every year but also men of the laboring class, factory workmen, their wives and children, who use railroad tracks as thoroughfares. This practice gives added significance to the figures from the Pennsylvania system, the tracks of which, lined with factories, run through the densest industrial sections; through territory which holds more than one-half of the population of the United States. On these tracks and adjacent property over 11,000 trespassers were arrested in 1908. About Equals War Record. The alarming death roll from trespassing on railroad property, which from 1899 to 1909 was nearly fourfifths of that suffered by the entire Union army in all of the battles of the Civil war, is every year charged up to the railroads, even though these people are killed as a result of their violation of the law and under conditions over which the railroads have no control. The co-operation of state and county authorities has been solicited, but actual punishment of persons violating the laws forbidding trespassing on a railroad's private property has been Infrequent. The cost of imprisonment has deterred the '.ocal courts from holding those arrested while trespassing on railroad property. The practice of walking on railroad tracks has been growing constantly and the number of people killed and injured increases with it,. ... ANOTHER WOMAN CORED By Lydia E.

He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, althpugh he has very heavy work and does a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him -the medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonderful good results from its use." MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, Milner, Ga.

"I will tell you the story of Nan-abbe Ju. He is the man who made the new earth after the big water came and coveml it. "Big waters came, and there was nothing anywhere except water and the sky and the sun and the stars, said the old Chippewa. "Nan-ab-beju made a great raft and put on It some relic of everything that had been on the earth specimens of each kind of animals, of all the trees, shrubs, plants, flowers, birds, rocks, and one man and one woman. In short, be did not leave anything except sand. He forgot to save some sand, and yet he could not do anything without it. lie sailed out far into the flood and made a little island, very, very small. Then he found he had no Band. He made a very big line, longer than hundreds of deerskins cut up Into ribbons and tied together, and he took a mnskrat off the raft and tied the line to it and threw It into the water. The frightened rat dove down and down, and when there was no longer any pulling at the line Nan-ab-beju knew the rat was at the bottom of the sea. Then he began to pull the line up. At the end of it came the poor muskrat. stone dead, drowned. But Nan-ab-bejn saw that the little black paws of the animal were clenched as If there was something In their palms and that the rat held tight hold of even after death. The little paws were forced open, and in tbem were found half a dozen grains of sand. One grain would have been enough for the great Nan-ab-beju. "Nan-ab-beju blew his breath on the muskrat. and its life came back to it. Then he mixed the sand in the little Island that be had made and blew on that also. As he blew and blew It swelled and swelled until it was so big that Nan-ab-beju could not see the sides or end of it In any direction. Nan-ab-beju was not quite certain whether he had made ft as big as the old earth before the big water came. He had to make it as big as it bad been so big. In fact, that no man or creature could find the end of it. He had plenty of animals that could travel over the earth and find out bow big it was, so he decided to take two huge buffaloes off the raft and send them to see whether there was any end to what he bad made. The buffaloes ran off with all speed, and Nan-ab-bejn sat down and waited. In a few days the buffaloes came back and said they had found the end of the earth. 80 Nan-ab-beju blew and blew and blew on the ground again, and it swelled so fast that you could sec it broadening. When he had blown until be was tired be took a crow off the raft and sent it to see if it could find the end of the earth. The crow was gone a very long time, but at last it came sailing back on the wind and said it bad flown till It was tired out and there was no sign of any end to the earth. "Nan-ab-beju, to make sure, blew again and swelled tae earth a great deal bigger. Then be untied and uncaged and tratrapped all the animals and drove them from the raft on to the land and left them free to roam where they might. He took all the trees, plants, bushes and shrubs and planted them around, and be blew the grass out of his hands as hard as he could blow it, so that it scattered all over. Next be let Iooe all the birds and beetles and bugs a ad snakes and toads and butterflies, and finally he Invited the man and woman, both Cbippeways, to go ashore and make the new earth their hunting ground. And Nan-ab-bejn's task was done." St. Nicholas.
