We have been asked why the time
table of the Pennsylvania Railroad no
longer appears in the REPUBLICAN. The
reason is that the railroad company is
not disposed to pay for Its publication,
and as the newspaper fellows pay cash
for riding on the trains they are inclined
TO think the railroads should adopt the
same methods regarding their advertis-
ing No pay, no ride; no cash, no sd.
Dancing in the public schools is
question which has aroused peppery
comment in practically every city of the
country. 1t is subject which nearly
every board of education at one time or
another has had to face, and the Detroit
Free Press declares: "The safe and
and proper thing in this case is for the
schools and those connected with them
to have nothing to do with the question
Those who believe in it and
feel that It is beneficial rather than HARM
ful can find plenty of other opportunities
to indulge in it."
Rural mail carrier Johnston started
out yesterday morning TO make his 23-
mile tour housed in spick and span
new outfit, which it seemed pity to
slash around in these fearfully muddy
roads. The vehicle is 10 constructed as
to house its occupant completely, giving
thorough protection from wind and
stormy weather. The house Is painted
white and nicely lettered with this in
scripticr: "R. F. ID. No. l, U. S. Mail"
Inside is an oil stove making 1t comfort
DIE in the coldest of weather, and as
ere are sliding side windows the car
rler can deliver and take up mail without
leaving his cosy quarters.
Henry, the three-yesr.od son of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry II. Watson, of Kellett-
vile, was seriously burned Friday after
noon. While playing with his elder
brother at their home the little fellows
dress caught fire from an open CRATE, and
only for the remarkable presence of mind
Of Miss Mamie Noble. a member of the
household, would have burned to death.
Hearing the cries of the children she has
tened to the rescue, and by throwing
rug about the child succeeded in smoth-
ering the flames before they reached the
face. DR.. Serrill was summoned, and
relieved the lads sufierngs,
aud he is doing as we'll as could be ex-
pected. The little fellows right side was
burned from the knees TO his stomach,
and the right arm and hand were also
severely burned.
An exchange tells how to live cheap
Iy, as follows: Substitute comfort for
show. Put convenience in the place of
fashion. Study simplicity. Refuse to be
beguiled into stvle of living above what |
Is required by your position in society |
and is justified by your resources. Set
, fashion of simplicity, neatness. pru-
ience and inexpensiveness which others
will be glad to follow and thank you for |
Teach yourself to do with
)ut thousand and one pretty and snowy |
hings which wealthy people purchase,
and pride yourself on being just as happy |
without them as your rich neigh
Dors are with them. Put so much dig
lity, sincerity, kindness, virtue and love
INTO your simple and inexpensive home
hat its members will never miss the
,ostly flipperies and snowy adornments
If fashion, and be happier in the cosy
md comfortable apartments than most of
'ur wealthy neighbors are in their splen-
lid apartments.
