experiencing dlffluu'ty In finishing
their wurk on schedule time on account

awarded several weeks ago, It was with
the understanding that grading was to
be rushi'd so the line would be ready
for service next Boring.

DAVID B. WILEY, DECEASED.
Homely Advice.
The editor of tha Altoona Tribune
oherlshes some old fashioned Ideas,
albeit they are bot at variance with
good common sense. One Is that a
great deal of a man's leisure time
should be spent at home In company
with bis family. Another Is that the
mother should permit neither society
functions nor anything else to Interfere
with her duties to the children grow
ing up In her home. And still anothor
Is that the children and young people
should form no bad habits, make no
engagements that keep thorn awao from
home tbe majority of the evenings of
etch week, or that keep them out of
the house until a late hour of the
night. He Is convlncod that the home
In which parents and children spend
much time togetbor Is a better home
than the one whiob Is only an eating
place, a Bleeping resort, a harbor when
no other spot Is available.
