He had been a motorman on a street car, but worried so much about the numer- ous tragedies :ccuri ing of late injwhich children were run over by cars that he resigned his job one day last week. He said he was afraid that he would either get killed or kill somebody else, so left his position to seek some safer employment. A neighbor was moving his house, so Perkins went over to give him a helping hand, when the chimney toppled down, falling on Perkins. He died. Convey sought death by throwing himself from a height of one hundred and fifty feet. and only met with slight injuries. Perk ins threw up his regular employment because of the dangers of it. sauntered over to help a neighbor and was killed by a. falling chimney.

A woman recently applied to a sew- in; machine company for a machine to he used on trial. The agent set her down as one who had no intention of really buying, so he sent her a second hand machine, made by another com- pany, that they had somehow managed to secure in trade. “That,” said he, “will be good enough for her to do her sewing on, and that is all she wants it for." ti: At the end of two weeks the woman called at the office. “That machine.” she said, “is a treas- ure. It runs easily, and the tucking, shirring and hemstitching are perfectly beautiful. All the women in our build- ing say they never saw anything so nice. They are going to sell their old machines and buy new ones like it. I am going to get a new one too. There are eleven of us who want to buy. Since that is quite a large order, we thought you might be able to get the machines for us at a discount.” The agent nearly collapsed. He tried to induce the woman to look with fa- vor upon the machines made by his own firm, but her affections were fas- tened upon the sample that he had so famously provided.
