MORE ABOUT TOUGHS.
Action Requested to Keep Boys Off
the Street.

Mr.. EDITOR Il am much oblig-
ed to Citizen" for his good letter
N Tuesdays issue regarding a
gang of young men, and L am
sorry to write-boys, who night
after night by their outrageous con-
duct, are fast hurryinC on the total
decentralization Of the youth of our
little community. They seem, or
appear to be, without home train
ing or benefcent Influences, and
it becomes a serious question for
our new marshal to think Of,
whether the disgusting exhibitions
are to be perpetuated or not.
The Salvation Army appears to
De the particular butt of this mi
quitous gang of toughs. Nothing
IS TOO vile for their filthy lips, in
characterizing the personnel as
sembling at its headquarters. The
writer does not pretend to moralize,
but observing so many young lads
in the midst of such filthy COM
pany, he is constrained to offer the
following suggestions to the young
gentleman now promoted TO the
position of marshal. 1 think they
are within his province
First. That he issue an order
prohibiting children under (15)
fifteen years of age being on the
public streets after Z 80 pm.
Second. If necessity calls for
the services of these little ones-in
q case of emergency-they must be
furnished with a permit from pa
rent or some responsible person.
Third. Any one not complying
with such orders, to be liable to
summary arrest, and returned to
parent or guardian at their ex-
pense; and a second offense is to
be treated as vagrancy, and the
offender be liable to an assignment
to the reform school for a term not
exceeding two years.
I throw out these suggestions in
the interest of young lads of all
nationalities. Unfortunately the
young city arabs belong to all of
the peoples making up our popula-
ton, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and
foreigner. Many among the ma
tive race, male and female, are
having an awakening; a strong de-
sire of changing their habits of life,
and begin a purer and nobler time,
and the army of salvation, now in
our midst, appears to be able to
meet their earnest longings, and
furnish them with degree of hope
and comfort, they say, they do not
find elsewhere.
Surely no stumbling block
should be placed in their way
either by man or devil.
This letter is written in the
strong hope that youth may be
kept from our streets, and may
remain under the control of legit-
innate protectors, and not be con-
taminated, early in life, with foul
miasma, the foulest perhaps ever
known in any community.

One curious fact brought out by
the report of public prosecutions in
England is that the number of
prosecutions for murder in 1894
was identically the same as in
1893, sixty-two men and fifty-two
women having been proceeded
against in each year.

A curious freak of nature in the
shape of a lamb with six legs is at
the Columbia Brewery, in The
Dalles, Or. The animal is well
formed in every respect, and ap-
pears perfectly healthy. From the
right shoulder two additional legs
are growing, which reach nearly to

Professor Lugger, Minnesota's state
entomologst, has in operation in the
Red river valley and in Chesago and
Pine count.es 400 hopper dosers. The
hopper doser is a machine about eight
feet long and two feet wide. 1t is made
on the plan Of a dustpan, is Of tin and
sits on three runners, on which it is
pulled over the stubble by team of
horses At the rear of the pan there is a
trough the entire length of the machine,
IN which there is an inferior grade Of
coal oil, while at the back of the ma
chine there is sheet of canvas. The
hoppers jump into the pan to get out Of
the way. Those that fall into the kero-
sene and are immersed in the fluid die
at once, while the hoppers that are
merely touched by the oil may live two
or three minutes before they succumb to
a sort of paralysis that is more deadly
than electricity. The canvas at the back
of the machine prevents the hoppers
from jumping clear over it. They strike
against the canvas and fall back into
the oil. 1t costs the state 81. 90 to make
each of these machines. They can be
made by any tinsmith and are given
to the farmers in hopper infested COM
munities in order to encourage them to
get rid of the pest. Professor Lugger
claims that with 400 hopper dosers he
kills off an average of 500 to l 200 bush
els of grasshoppers every day.-Chicago

Interesting Facts About the Author OF

The million more or less of schoolboys

Mrs. Thorpe was born at Mishawaka,

Tables were spread in the street, and
all traffic was suspended. Hundreds of
stalwart mountaineers came in with
their wives and children from the re-

roasted, and pumpkin pies by the hun

the beverage.
Devil Anse Hatfield. the noted leader
Of the Hatfield Mccoy vendetta, was
master of ceremonies. He stood at the

rhe New German Chancellor Always Cooks
His Own Coffee.


Prince Hohenlohe, the new chancel-
lor Of the German empire, is cast in
different physical mold from his two
stalwart predecessors He is far from
being so impressive in appearance as
Bismarck or Caprivi. He looks more IKE
the headmaster Of school in middle
sized town than like statesman. Al
though Of more noble lineage than
either of the ex-chancollors, he looks
much less like the traditional aristocriFi
His early life was, however, passe<
amid comparatively humble surround
ings, and his birth helped him little.
He practiced law until 1916, and, pitted
against young men Of the middle classes,
never distinguished himself In the
year mentioned he succeeded TO the dig
nifty of schillingsfurst and took his place
az a hereditary legislator in the Bavari-
an reichsrath.
The prince is remarkably active for a
man of his age. His excellent health he
attributes to the facts that he spends as
much time as possible in the open air
especially in the hunting feld-and
cooks his own coffee. Coffee he consid-
ers the principal course of meal, al
though he likes good things to eat and
employs one of the best cooks in Ger
many. When in his palace at Strasburg,
he always prepared his own coffee.
Even when he travels he carries the cof-
fee machine with him and uses it TO
make his favorite beverage at least three
times day.
In the course Of years he has become
an expert and few cooks can equal his
brew His guests fiatter him on his art,
as matter of course, and there is no
better way to reach his heart than by
eulogy of his coffee.
Like many other men who have ac-
complished considerable in this lifo and
love praise and their hobbies he would
rather hear praise for his drink which
comforteth tho brain and heart to use
the language of Bacon-than for his
political wisdom. Cincinnati CONNER
