The house of Ladder 3, on Bracket street,
VIII be fitted with iron tracks for the apparatus
to stand on. The tracks have already come,
and will be in position in a day or two. As the
fire apparatus grows heavier from year to year,
the need Of some additional support for the
wheels becomes more imperative. In some of
the engine houses, notably Engine rs, the
wheels have worn deep gutter in the floor, the
depression under the front wheels being an
eighth of an inch more than the thickness of
the tire. These iron tracks are in use in nearly
all Of the houses in Boston, and ale great
convenience. They rise slightly toward the
rear Of the room, so as to give the apparatus
slight roll when it starts, and flare at the DOORS
so that start in either direction can be made
with equal ease.

Reta Bailey is pretty 16-year.old girl
living in San Bernardino. She is poor
and alone in the world, and wants to
find her father. She has sent the
HERALD the following appeal:
/ am trying to find my father. l am
told that his name is James e. Bailey.
l have no recollection of him, nor do /
remember that ever looked upon the
face Of relative. My mother died
fifteen years ago, in Boone county, Iowa,
when l was only year old. Shortly
after mothers death l was adopted
by neighbor named Morgan. When l
was about years old we removed to
Nebraska, and at this time father seems
to have lost track of me. / understand
that he endeavored to find me, but was
basely led, by an interested party
to believe that | had died.
have only recently learned that
the Morgans were not my parents. |
am passing my days among strangers.
They are nothing to me; am nothing
to them. The thought makes me home
sick and lonely and sad. I believe my
own dear father is living, somewhere
in this wide, wide world, and if
he is l mean to find him. You can
assist me, if you will but can offer no
reward, at present, except my gratitude
and my blessing.
Ii you are unable to give me any in
formation regarding my father, please
help me to publish and circulate this
notice and oblige, sincerely yours,
