THEIR EXCEPTIONAL CASE

Aren't you staying up pretty later" asked the third floor neighbor as he passed up the rear stairs after putting the car up for the night
 Not at all," said the second hcor neighbor sadly as he regarded his up- stairs friend 1T had a hard day at the office and another hard one before me to- morrow. I came home early and made up my mind that the early to bed and early to rise idea was the best thing in the world for me.
 By halp past nine I was in bed all snug for tic night when the bell rang and I answered it: It was telegram for Eloysius Ephrain Pemberthy Never having heard of him in the neighbor- hood I supposed that the messenger was trying to make game of me in some way and was about to throw him out when. he showed me the envelope.
 TT went back to bed and composed myself by counting mental sheep who automatically leaped one by one over 3 pretty white fence and when I began tc doze the telephone rang. It might have been any one at half dozen important calls and so I reluctantly oened my eyes and piled out to find that the operator was putting a long distance call through to Salem, H., and rang my phone fol heaven alone knows what reason.
 ''So again I climbed back to bed. hi! time let the sheep go their merry wa! and tried thinking about a gray patel that ran itself around and around in circle. But another sound aroused me The man upstairs was carrying out tn rtigs for his wife and his heels clic clacked across the floor at a remarkabl l rate.
 T guess I fell asleep after that" sai the second floor man thoughtfully. "Any how, I was awakened by a beautiful voice singing the End of Perfect Day That's an old song TOW, of course, but t me there is someciing very wonderfr in it. But while I was enjoying it photograph bfske in - think it wa that old one that the Hendersons lei when they moved-the one the janito apPropriated-and 1t grated out 'Tippel ary." So I came out here on the bacl porch and made a few remarks an presently the janitor was upstairs her with a complaint"
 Why? Because you went to bed to early?" asked the third floor neighbc

Stories That Recall Others
Not Exactly,

Aunt Jane, who was a spinster, came to visit her sister and family of four children. And from the first minute was very much given to offering advice to her sister on the way to feed, dress and treat her children generally The sis ter listened in perfect good humor, but not so Sally, her efficient helper And frankly Sally said so Look here, Miss Jane," she began, What do old maids like you and men know about raising children?" We aint never had none and a person has to have children to know how to raise them."
 Aunt Jane smiled a tolerant smile. "Oh, not always, Sally" she returned, Now take those little Nlickans out there. Don't you think you know moro than their mother? You feed"
 But Sally interrupted her. "Ye5 ma'am, I feed them, if that's what you mean. But I hain't never yit taught any of them to scratch-have IT.

 Bernard Kelly, formerly superintend- ent of the Stillman estate in the Pecan tico hills, testified, it was learned, that between January 2s and February 6. 1919. Mrs. Stillman and Fred Beauvais. the part Indian guide who Mir. Stillman contends is the father of Guy Stillman. had rooms in the same section of the Blue cottage" on the estate. Ths wit ness had never seen Beauvais in Mrs. FStillman's room, however.
 Mrs. Rockefeller was on the stand more than an hour. and when she left the hearing she went into an ante-room from which sounds of sobbings were presently heard.
 MT. Mack's cross examination of her was described as severe. She had tes- tifed, it was learned. that Mir Stillman from January 1 to the middle of April 1918 lived continually at the home of his, father, who died in March of that year. and that Mrs. Stillman at no time during these weeks visited the place. She had seen MT. Stillman come home almost every evening.
 During cross examination, Mrs. Rocke- feller was understood to have recoIlect. ed that Mir. Stillman was absent ovei weekend in February, and 10 have admitted that she. too. left the city or two or three occasions early in 1918. Al so. it was said she admitted Mir. Still man went to live at his own home afte' the death of his father in March. After the hearing adjourned, Mrs Stillman was asked whether the appear ance of Mrs. Rockefeller upon the stani had surprised her.
 Yes, at frs" she said. but whel MT. Mack got through with her sh' didn't know where she lived"
 Testimony not unlike Mrs. Rockefel ler's was given by Frank Lacey, forme butler at the home of Mir. Stillman's ia ther, and three other servants there Mary Murray, waitress, Mrs. Helen D Hunt, housekeeper. and Della Rock cook.

AVOIDING sTREEr DANGERS.

The need for safer streets extends far beyond the boundaries of the state of Connecticut. It is a need that prevails in every community and on every high way and if it is going to be accomplish ed more attention must be devoted to getting all users of the streets inter ested therein.
 A large percentage of the street acci- dents and fatalities involve children and it is a capital idea that has been ad- vanced in Massachusetts where a cam paign is to be conducted in all of the children's. playgrounds of the state for the purpose of irnpressing upon the boys and girls the dangers which need to be guarded against in the highways. There is no reason in fact why similar instruc- tions should not be given in the public schools in the same way that other plans are carried out for getting certain vital facts properly impressed upon the minds of the children in order that the seed thus sown may get the right start and be placed where 1t is most needed.
 If it is possible to get the children to realize the effects of carelessness and to get them to thinking about how danger can and should be avoided much prog. ress in the way of self preservation is going to be. made. It is never possible | to tell just how much good is going tc be done by it. If only one life is saved it is worth the undertaking, but it i: i reasonable to believe that it will hav' i far greater results, that it will inspire vigilance where otherwise little though would be given to it and that it vii serve to check the number of childrel who are inclined to dash into the stree in play. jump onto and off of fast nov ing vehicles and in other ways plac their lives in jeopardy thoughtlessly.
 Through the playgrounds such instruc tions can perhaps be placed before chil dren at a time and in a manner tha
 would have as beneficial effect as pos
 sible It is. certainly an. effort that i
 worth making and the example will n
 doubt impress itself upon others en
 gagged in similar work.

 That sounds a simple matter, looking it up in the lease. But that lease was nowhere to be found about the place at all.
