Changed Times
Children Now See That Parents Are in Bed “BURGLAR” AT DEVONPORT How times have changed! Years ago parents worried about the time tneir children went to bed. To-day, it sems, the children, worry about the time their parents go to bed. Last evening a well-known insurance company manager, who resides at Devonport, took his wife to a dance. They returned home fairly late and retired to bed. In the early hours of the morning the lord of the house was wakened by the electric light in his bedroom being switched on and off suddenly. Burglars, he thought. Creeping from bed he made a tour of investigation, but everything was in order. The burglar had disappeared as suddenly as the light itself. The children were asleep and nothing had been disturbed. Mr. Insurance Manager made a discreet inquiry this morning. “Did you switch on my light last night?” he asked his small son of five. “Yes; I just went in to see if you. were home,” was the reply.
