GATHERED IN -Not my Boy, » * - ^ i There is a practice, prevailing in Gedarvilte,«nd possibly in many other towns a t the present time, and if not soon corrected,is to result iu a calamity so great in its results that tl entire community-will be shocked, 'i .jc re­ sult is . certain and only time and continunnco will prove It. The prac­ tice is very common, especially during the sleighingseason. It is that of buys climbing on slieghs in .order to steal a ride.' - No less than fifty ora hundred boys can be found engaging in this danger ous practice in the afternoons and evenings. Should the parents be ap­ proached oil' the subject.you would doubtless hear the statement: . ■’It is surely not my boy.” The practice is not confined to nay one street nor to any one class, The chitdreu of the higher class are mixed in confusion with the poverty stricken class.
