CHANCES 0+' GETTING KILLED

Thay Aro I to 1.491.910.
If a man takes a ride of the aver*
age length, which is twenty-four
miles, in a railway train in this coun­
try, what is his chance of getting
killed? asks the Pittsburg Tunes.
According to the interesting report
of the interstate commerce commis­
sion. it is one chance in 1,491,910
If a young man of 2\ jilted
*>y his sweetheart. should de­
termine to commit suicide without
sin by getting accidentally killed in
a railway accident he might do it.
Certainly he might do it if ho were
to get on a train as a passenger and
ride, ride, ride at the rate of thirty-
five and one-haif miles an hour, day
and night, every hour of the day and
every day in the yea.-, if he had aver­
age luck he would eventually get sur-
cease from the gnawing pain at his
heart somewhere in the course of
passing over ÜÔ.54L'.miles, for ac­
cording to these official figures, one
passenger is killed for every 054d.-
282 miles that a passenger is carried.
According to the same he would be
injured in some way eight and three-
quarters times, or eight times and a
bad scare. It is a little better than
one chance in three that he would
come to an untimely grave in conse­
quence of a collision, but if he pre­
ferred to have the train run otf the
track to kill him he would have only
one chance in nine to be satisfied.
His possible journey would have
taken him around this weary world
and past the place where she went
to housekeeping with the other fel­
low 1,421 times, and would have cost
him. at the rate of three cents a
mile and $2.5 > a night for a sieaping
berth. $1,087,016. 4*. In this melan­
choly state of mind he wouldn't care
how his shoes looked, and the porter
needn't disturb his grief for a daily-
quarter.
And when, after all his journeying
to his death, and glowering out of
the window at every unsympathetic
rock that might have fallen before
ihe engine.and cursing every vagrant
browsing cow that might have tres­
passed on the track and didn't, he
finds at length ‘-the golden key that
opens the palace of eternity,'' it is a
bigger chance than there are figures
for that he will not be ready to go.
For the scenery of this world be­

and angry with all creation. There
