 Notwithstanding all that has been said about fast driving on the local trolley lines, some of the motormen insist on exceeding the speed limit at almost every opportunity. and when there Is no real reason for so doing. Although these motormen pretend to be making up time, they generally have wait at the center TOT more minutes than they made up. Perhaps they want to get cup of coffee or cigar or a plug of to- bacco while at the center waiting for some belated car. It is fortunate in- deed that there are not more acci- dents than are now recorded. Last Monday car was driven along Bank street at pretty fast clip, without any slow up even at the Grand street crossing. Half dozen children at tempted to cross the street in front of the new Russell building. All got to the other side except one little one, and she was struck by the fender. Fortunately for her she fell in sitting position and was carried along fifty yards, screaming and try ing to alight. The As You Like It man was a witness of the incident and he picked the little one off the lender before the car came to a stop. She was thoroughly frightened but unhurt as far as could be seen It was very close call, however, and the motorman breathed easier and heaved sigh of relief when he real ized that the girl was safe. He is a good fellow and good motorman 'tis said, but the next person he runs down may not fare so we'll as did the little girl.

With the vicissitude and times mat ters change and my father was driven to the necessity to accept school mastership. Ultimately he enjoyed his we'll earned pension by the time he gave up his ghost In case my as pirations turn out reality, I shall, | as matter of course, be bound to prey God for your long life and pros- perity."
 ,hn hoc rNr tice says it is mistake to say that fine weather is unhealthy. He says the trouble is not due to the weather conditions, but to the indiscretion of people who make too free. One of his patients removed his heavy un- derwear during the warm spell of a 1 few weeks ago and his friends came very near having to buy casket for him since. He contracted a cold which developed into pneumonia and came near finishing him. He believes | fine open winter weather all right provided people would keep in mind I the fact that it is apt to change any time, and that it is the winter sea son instead of summer or fall. | &'ts
 The business of throwing snow- balls is as popular as ever with youngsters. and it is wonder that some of those who persist in aiming at people wno don't like that sort of treatment don't get into trouble The women folks are very much op- posed to being pelted with snow, and no wonder. for in addition to being a great humiliation 1t spells nice hats and raises Cain with handsome cos tunes. It is fine sport for crowd of boys to toss snow in all directions but they should bear in mind that older people, and women folks in par ticular, should not be chosen as tar gets.
