The surprising thing Is that ac cidents are not more frequent. ?Trench motor drivers have a pas sion for speed, and when two cars meet on u hairpin bend, -.with a very narrow road surface and a preelpl t own drop of some hundreds of feet on the one side, the situation Is rather unpleasant for tho enr on the outside edfce, and decidedly thrilling for the passengers. When taking such a curve at speed, as Is often the cuse, It Is simply a matter of nerve and steady steering that pulls one through, us a sudden application of the brakes might send the car skidding into space.

One's feelings of thankfulness at being landed whole at otvb's hotel door are mixed with a pro found admiration of French skill tn meeting road emergencies, hut also with a distinct preference for the alower but safer driving to which we are accustomed at home." Suburban Life Not All Rosea. Most young married couples sooner or later get the desire for "a little place In the suburbs with a bit of ground around It."

Friend husband grumbles, especially to friend wife. But he learns and he does what's expected ef hint.

Realising in a flash that the grinding brakes of tho speeding locomotive could not bring the hulk of iron to a halt before it reached a spot in the track ahead on which a three-year-old boy inno. cently played, Wash Davis, negro fireman on (X N. &, h. mixed train, number Kl, Columbia bound, at 4:30 o'clock thin afternoon jumped through engine cab window, raced down the walk-plank alongside the boiler and leaped to the cowcatcher just too late to grab the child, but ju?t in time to knock it flat <Jn the track so that the pilot in some hard to-understand way cleared its littlo body. And by that action the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Smith, of tho State Training School, near here, was saved from death and hurt and the body of the thirtly-year-old negro rail road man was severely injured. The negro was unable, to regain his bal ance and fell in front of the train before it stopped. He was rushed to Columbia, and, although his injuries are painful, it is believed he will re -cover shortly. Knginccr W. W. Clifton, who had jammed on the brakes with all pos sible force as soon as the train rounded a curve and he saw the child ahead, managed to bring the locomo tive and cars to a stop with the en gine's pilot a few feet ahi'ad of the place on which the lad lay. He leaped from the cab and found the child close to the firebox. "Mother, mother!" the frightened boy cried, but fear alone caused his troubles because he was totally un hurt. ? Members of the crowd that quickly gathered, including passengers of the train, felt it impossible that tho boy could have gone through the experi ence unharmed, and doctors were ? ? "7^ 7 ? . . hastily summoned. After a completo examination a physician issued a statement saying that only one small scar was in evidence in that -case was not sufficient to break the skin and, therefore, inconsequential. Clinton is agog tonight with praise of the negro who risked life and limb for the child, and it is authoratively stated that the railroad company plans to reward him for his collness and heroism.
