A Young Lady Suicides.
A Plea for DecOrum.

EDITOR TIAEs:-Allow me to sly
a few words in regard IA using pro-
fame and obscene language on the
streets, as it has got To be very COM
mon occurrence with old and young.
There is seldom day passes that
you do not hear boys or children
that are scarcely large enough to walk
along swear and use obscene language
that sends persons blood through
his veins with . chill. Who 10 to
blame for all this vulgar talki Who
has set the sxamplei Who tormen,s
and provokes those little ones to get
them to swear and then laugh and
encourage them in their wicked
waysi am sorry to say it is those
that are old enough to know better,
and some. am sorry to say, have
children Of their own.
Men Oh common sense should have
more respect tor children and chill
dren's parents than to encourage
them to use profane language. They
also should have some respect Tor
themselves and their fellow citizens.
Several times in the past six months
while the stage was waiting for the
mail and lady Passengers were
aboard, have heard indecent Ian
guage used within their hearing. Gu
one occasion it emanated from the
mouth of y nan whose lacks we're
tinged with the frosts of old age. l
felt sorry for the gentleman.
At the present time and age il you
want to express an idea the more
slang phrases You use the better, rs
it is called smartness, and u certain
class like Ia hear such expressions.
A we'll bred man will certainly con-
durt himself with pr'priety aud alb
stain from annoying others. A man

heard folks say, "Well, such man
is \ little drunk or he would not use
