30 years, but has passed most of his

It is a little surprising how people
will make cyclone cellars and go to all
manner of expense and trouble to pro
tect against storms but will hop on a
train for a two or three days trip as
unconcerned as can be. Yet nineteen
people are killed in railroad wrecks for
everyone killed in a storm. And every
body is exposed to storms all the time
while millions of people in the United
States are not exposed to the dangers
of a railroad once a year.

evening Robert Payne, wife and grand
son, Robert Brown, started home from
Chicago taking a Pullman. Mr. Payne
and Robert occupied a berth opposite
Mrs. Payne. When they arose yester
day morning Mrs. Payne's lonnet was
missing. After a diligent search it
was found all crushed in another part
of the car. Mr. Payne while looking
through his berth found in one corner
of it a pocketbook containing $96 with
nothing in it to tell to whom it be
longed. He gave the purse to the
porter to find its owner. How the
bonnet got away from Mrs. Payne's
berth and the pocketbook into Mr.
Payne's is a mystery."
