NEW SAFETY GATE FOR RAILROAD
CROSSINGS DECLARED FOOL PROOF
iter-
... .«wêb»
XV
Officials of th e Chicago elevated railw ay lines have tested a new safety
gate fo r railroad crossings which is said to be “fool-proof” ag ain st the careless
autom obile driv er who now and then drives through the old-fashioned wooden
gate and w akes up With a harp. T he new gate will not allow an autom obile
to pass If a c ar runs into it the gate gives several feet and then bounces
the c ar back like a rubber ball.

m an.”
The unknow n a u th o r of these
lines introduces a c h a ra c te r
know-fi to eyeryone and generally
loved.
In “very com m unity
th ere may be found i~e aged man,
w ith the happy, smiling face.
The world lias not show ered a
great am ount of w ealth upon
him.
He has gone through
trouble and sickness. He leans
upon his worn cane before the
hum ble dw elling and he sm iles
and chats in bis quaint fashion
w henever one passes th e gate.
Many who a re m ore fo rtu ­
nate than he feel more cheerful
when they receive his greeting.
They u n derstand th a t he has
come to the evening of his life
w ithout piling up riches and
w ithout w inning wide honor.
They a re b attlin g unceasingly
to win both. They cannot find
the cause fo r the peaceful look
cn the old m an’s face. They
cannot im agine anyone being
happy in bis 4gclining years
w ithout accom plishing
m uch
th a t they aim to gain.
If one asked th is fam iliar
c h a ra c te r to explain the cause
fo r his ap p aren t content, he
probably could not comply with
the request. T he reason is so
sim ple th at even he does not
recognize it.
H e ha<? acquired w hat n either
money nor honor can buy. He
has lived an honest life and
looks th e world squarely in the
face. Countless persons are his
tru stfu l friends. L acking much
th at oth ers possess, he neverthe­
less has a clear conscience and
his m ind is a t rest. T he smiles
he receives from th e populace
a re the blessings which his own
open-hearted friendliness has
brought him to bring sunshine
into his few rem aining days or
years.
The world needs to catch the
spirit of his kindly old soul.
One is poor indeed, regardless of
his accum ulation of gold or his
p o v e r ty if he approaches the
end of the path w ithout sincere
friends.
