Burglars entered the Southern

and blew open the office safe,
says a Lebanon dispatch to the
Oregonian, Wednesday. The
heavy iron door of the safe was
blown from the operator's office
through the waiting-room door
across the building and hit the
wall on the opposite side of the
depot. The inner door of the
safe was not opened and nothing
was secured. The depot was
entered by a window which was
forced by a jimmy; the office!
door was pried open in the same
manner. The work was "raw,",
and the would-be burglars were
novices in the business. They
must have become alarmed and
quit, for it would have been an
easy matter to have gone through
the rest of the door which sep
arated them from about $100.
No clew has been found as to
who attempted the robbery.

Don't let the boy have to ask,
or, worse yet, tease for every
cent of spending niouey! Every
child should contribute his share
to the work of the farm, simply
because it is right, and by no
means should he expect pay for
doing his duty. However, to
cultivate a spirit of thrift, the
orphan lamb, the pet pig, or a
few hens, may well be the prop
erty of the small boy, and any
money accruing therefrom, his
also. The larger boy may culti
vate a parcel of the farm (small
or large, according to circum
stances) on shares, with results
satisfactory to father and son
alike. It will be found that the
average boy will be as careful
and wise in expending his own
money as his father's money.
