This is an annoyance to the people. and
is in contravention of decree of etiquette
which forbids such q practice to ali but
members of the Salvation Army. The
Howling Devices of the Orient are also
excepted, but of this class we have none
in our city.
In approaching certain houses while I
am yet great way off, I am frequently
alarmed by the. disturbance which appears
to be going on within. 3hrill, hysteric
laughter and high pitched, excited voices
lead rae to suppose that the inmates have
suddenly become deranged, but upon in
quiry | learn that it is only function
in progress
often notice male citizens on the streets
without 5ournois (coat) They are not
laboring men, (who are excusable) but be-
long to class which does not justify the
use OF such abandon in street dress. At
tired thus they even join and converse with
ladies and neither seems to be aware of
anything that is wrong Don't allow
man to speak to you, ladies, whose bust
ness does not require him to be without
coat, unless he has ON that necessary ar

The above touches on this subject sights
ly and demonstrates that there are other
victims besides The LAZY MAN.
Dear Lazy Mani think you are doing
good work in your column in the jour.
NAL and at your first opportunity would
you kindly say word about parents al.
lowing their young children to sit any,
where they please in church and then get
ting up and going to their parents seats or
anywhere else they choose, thereby greatly
disturbing the congregation and mora es,
pecialy the minister At recent Sunday
morning service counted nine such
moves before the minister had been preach
| ing twenty minutes BY all means chIl~
dren should attend church, and If their
parents go too, please ask them to make
their children ait with them, but II they
are not good enough to follow the exam
pie of their children in attending church
ask them to give the little dears talk on
running about over the church after the
service has begin. Allow me to make an
. other suggestion on church behavior. Peo-
t pie who know anything, know tina. uahers
are almost q necessity in all we'll attended
churches, and they ought to know tina
ushers are not usurping the peoples right
I where they show them to q seat. s,
I ask the people if they have very epecia
\ preference in regard to'the pew they car
1 20 occupy, to mention il to the usher a
the door and not let him, out OF the kind
ness of his heart, walk up the aisle and fnt
seat for them, and then look around an,
see them crowding some one else out o
their seat. Such a situation is onl,
equalled in annoyance and embarrassment
to person standing half way up the aisl.
in church where there are no ushers, ant
looking first into one pew, then into an
other. as much as to say crowd I'D anC
make room for me"
! II you will mention these matters 10 The
public you will greatly obiige
