The local switch crew filed a
tank with water and pulled 1t up

were hastened out and the bridge re-
built so that the loaded cars Of coal

'Chfldren seem to be considered

two extremes it is little surprising
that the infant population keeps up to
It's record. In the olden days it was
different Every man and every wom-
an believed 1t a duty to their God and
TO their country to raise a large fam
lily, and they fulfilled the obligation
with a good grace. But times have
changed. The moneyed man of to-day
has no time for children. He has his
business to look after and his rents
to collect, while his wife is continu.
ally on the go with social engagements
and appointments with her modiste.
So tho Stork Is left to shiver in the
cold. But the poor man is sometimes
as guilty as the rich in this matter He
has family of children, but he has
no time for them. ] heard this illus.
trated by little story the other day.
A working man who lives in one of the
! poorer districts of the city has seven
