ETIQUETTE

Anxious-It is very evident that nothing is to be accomplished in the way of improving your sons manners by talking to him. You might try set ting examples before him. Invite his friends, or other young people of his age, whose manners are all they should be, to your house to dinner of ten; and ask the young ladies as well as young men. He may be ashamed to exhibit to their critical eyes the rude manners he habitually displays before you. I think it would be best never to speak to him on the subject, but place him as often as possible in a position where he will have to prove himself gentleman or a boor. Never allow your own manners to lapse from perfection, whether others are present or not. He may often ern- barrass you when you have guests
 but the plan is worth trying anyway

sans of dollars due to the Common
wealth as the unpaid shares of bor-
oughs and townships in Central

the Attorney Generals Department

up of the accounts outstanding in the
closing of the present state admins

brought about a month ago for the
collection of similar charges and the
coming list will close up.
1t seems to be the plan to have all
these accounts brought into court

the new administration will be able

of the cases the boroughs and town
ships signed up for the road con-
struction and have failed TO pay. The
