Contractors would take up the

say it is better than the Trinidad

1t is conceded by the public and
by the council unanimously that
the present transfer system works
a hardship on patrons. Patrons
of the Sixth avenue line cannot
even get a transfer to the cable
If they want to go up the hill.
In Seattle and in nine-tenths of
the cities in the country transfers
are given when the fare is paid
and passengers can take the cars
wherever they catch them, ac-
cording to councilmen.
1t is not unlikely, II the COM
pany does not revise the transfer
system, that the city may take the
matter into court.

Mrs. Dickie, surrounded by II
of her children, the others being
way, was getting dinner in the
bare, but clean, kitchen when the
writer drove up to the door. She
insisted that the horses be put
out" and fed and the writer stay
to dinner. At once we fell to
talking about the children, and it
was interesting to watch the wom-
ans clever management of them,
as well as her scheme of house
keeping. Evilina had the new
baby on her lap, nursing it from
a half-pint medicine bottle, with
nipple attached. The children
have all been raised upon cows
milk, being for the most part
weaned when they were from 8
to weeks old. When the baby
Bonnie cried too hard the mother
gave her a little dose of a patent
soothing strip.
The children under 10 were In
their bare feet; the others wore
good shoes and stockings. Be-
cause company had come, Mrs.
Dickie had the family wash up
and comb hair and put on clean
frocks or waists, and every little
barefooted tad had to go to the
pump and wash his feet. The old
er children helped the little ones,
and the house ran like clockwork.
The woman said she was behind
in her mending, and would l
please excuse the rags; indeed,
that was easy, for the rags were
clean. She washes every other
day.
With SO many mouths to feed
Mrs. Dickie says she cooks large
quantities of one vegetable or
meat, not having time for varie-
ties, and they can't afford much
meat. For dinner we had splen-
did bread, untrimmed coffee,
string beans. farm butter and
milk, and blue berries and cream.
OBEDIENCE RULE OF HOME.
1t was noticed that the chill
dren, even the little tots, obeyed
their mothers commands instant
ly. She always speaks their full
names, like LENA Inez." She
seems never to confuse them,
and they all say their ''pleases''
and their thank yous." 1t was
a sight to see the mother hustle
about, picking mp fallen child,
grabbing up the baby, kissing
away the tears of little Floyd
Murton, breaking beans, setting
table. lifting the wash boiler on
to the porch and talking agree
ably all Of the time with the wri.
ter. She said that she Gidn't be-
lieve that she had had a full

the floor and rattle off the list

mother now of nine. One is d.

row. They say it wasn't her
fault" Arthur Ernest lives in
California, had been ordained a

country church. Mrs. Dickie
speaks reverently of him, with q
mothers olnging in her eyes, for
she has not seen him in two
years. Fanny Blossom is a
stenographer in Portland. Geo
Edwin works in mill in Skowhe-
gan, and Everett Onward on an
adjoining farm. Merritt Carnot is
visiting with one of his sisters this
summer.
All of the boys and girls away
from home contribute what they
can to the family support.
Mrs. Dickie said that her babies

weighed 8 " pounds. Mrs. Dickie
said she had never missed her
