attracted her parents attention. A doctor
was summoned but an examination
showed that the injury was wholly ex-
ternal. Little Nell will probably avoid

There are four or five crossings on Yak :
ina avenue that certainly ought TO be
kept clean for street pedestrians. The
expense would not be great, while the
benefit and convenience to the public
would be notably considerable. The
public is asking but little OF the street
department to request that this be done.
In fact, the department should not wait
al ait, in any event, for the request that
it perform its official duty.
In addition to the regular service at the
First Baptist church there will be a
