Ways to Keep Neat.

MY children we're becoming dread
fully careless about leaving their
things around" said an original
and the oldest members of the
family weren't any too tidy. So |
made up my mind that | wasn't
going to pickup drudge for the
rest of the household. | set up a
big fine box, box with an oblong
hole in the top, into which | put
every single thing hat, coat, toy,
pipe, no matter what that | found
| found lying around in the way
And to get his or her property the
owner had to pay a penny if it
was one of the children; ten cents
in case of the older ones. AS the
children have only an allowance of
ten cents a week each, they didn't
naturally want to pay it out in fines;
so they began to be careful. Grad
ually the whole family mended
their ways, and now my fine box
is generally empty, and the house
is as tidy as you please"

Safety.

The Burlington has unloaded part
of the appliance for an. electric
crossing bell at Main St. This is
something which is much needed
to warn persons driving. that it is
dangerous to attempt to cross the
Burlington tracks. 80 -. s.
1t is nothing out the ordinary for
the Burlington to have a long train
standing on a side track for from
ten minutes to more than a half
esRc'6skhus blocking all streets west
of Vine an rausine great incon-
venlence to many p6oKle woD
minutes is the longest time the
city ordinance permits a train to
block a street. .Ifa few train men
were forced to pay a fine this nuis-
ance would soon be a thing of the
past. n6
