The height ofan average boys ambi-
tion is the ownership ola cat-rifle. In
all sections ofthe country these rifles
can be found, and they are put to all
the dangerous uses that can be divised
by the fertile mind Of youth. Numer-
Gus instances have been. reported in
which the lives, or at least the well
fare, of citizens were endangered by
the careless discharge of the leaden
missiles in the direction of windows
and other exposed parts of dwellings.
The shooting ofchickens and pet dogs
and cats are familiar diversions. The
neighbor who is subjected to the per-
secutions of the cat-rifie has not much
peace of mind while the owner of the
rifle it about home. There should be
a rigid law against the use of these
instruments within the corporation !;
or, if there is law upon the subject,
it should be enforced.
