THE HUMAN ROOSTER.
Vaudeville Actor Who Represents

Disturbing the Peace.

New York reports say that the
services of an astute Philadelphia
lawyer experienced in the solving of
strange legal puzzles may be required
to straighten out a suit for $500 dam
ages brought by Alfred Gardner, Of
Brooklyn, against a neighbor.
Mr.. Gardner bases his suit on the
allegation that his neighbor has a
rooster which crows louder and
longer than the biggest steam whistle

CHIEF OF POLICIES LETTERS
One Wants to Know if Woman is
to be HANGED at Butte.

Every day Chief of Police Reynolds re.
ceives letters from people inquiring about
other people,, The letters are usually
marked by anxiety. pathos or curiosity
Two were received today, one Of which
was pathetic and the other curious.
The curious letter. the feminine write,
of which wanted to know of woman
acquaintance who is to be hanged here
is as follows:
Fargo. S. D.. Aug. 3. 1901. Chief OF
Police. Butte. Dear Sir:-I heard that
a woman by the name of Mrs. Minnie
Hall is in very serious trouble, and that
she shot a man aud is to be hung for
it. If that is not so. and you know of
her whereabouts harta>~her this note.
MRS. CORA OMER.

The chief of police has no knowledge
of the woman named Hall. who is sus-
pected of being in such dire straits. If
she is to be hanged for homicide. she
is keeping the matter sub rosa. No doubt
she. would be entertained if she knew
that her old neighbors We're gossping
over such startling reports about her.
The other letter is from a Salt Lake
wife who desires very much to come
into touch with, her missing husband.
She writes pathetic letter. as follows:

month ago, and had an advertising
scheme of some kind on his hands in
relation to it. He made the remark to
an attendant at the races that he was
going to San Francisco after finishing
his work at the saucer. The chief of

The Georgia Soldiers Home.

The Home for Confederate Veterans In Geor-
gia was burn last Saturday. and the Atlanta
newspapers are tumbling over each other in
their efforts to rebuild the Institution. Sew
enty-two Confederate veterans had homes
there.
This newspaper has never believed that the
expenditure of large sums OF money to build
State poor houses for soldiers. was advisable
The cheaperand better way ofcaring for them
Is to give them pension, so they may
live at home with their kindred. To send
needy soldiers from all parts OF the State to a
central point Is to separate the soldier forever
from those whom he loves best. A man who
goes long distances to a charitable Institution
under whatever illusory name, leaves home
and friends behind. II the soldiers home Is
TO be better than the average county poor
house. then the cost must be great. A pension
OF $40, or $50. or $50 for each inmate would be a
less draft on the treasury, and do much more
good, and be less degrading to the pride and
to the feelings Of their relatives.
A pension to needy soldiers is all right. But
to build State poor house. under whatever
high-sounding name, is not the proper thing
to do. Give the needy soldiers little money
to enable them TO live with their families, but
do not take them rom home and friends at
time when the evening shades are already
appearing.

Unnecessary Words.

Without attempting to say that the follow.
Ing stereotyped and seemingly unnecessary
words are wrong, We simply say that the
Press and Banner does not use them, and If
such expressions appear In the writing Of cor
respondents, they do so because Of oversight
on our part.
In announcing marriage 1t is not neces.
sary to say that the interesting event occur
red "at the home of the brides parents" You
might as well say that 1t was not O runaway
match.
In writing the death Of anyone, 1t is not
necessary to say. that his sons and daughters
"were left TO mourn his loss." They may
have been left for other purposes. At any
rate the expression Is stereotyped, useless
and about worn out.
In announcing the death OF a young person
1t is not necessary to say, he, or she, was a
son, or daughter, Of Mr.. land Mrs" John
Smith. In Christian land, and in polite so.
cietyi is not usually necessary to certify
to the maternity OF John Smiths sons or
daughters.
In announcing any event, the correspon.
dents grief or gladness need not be referred to.
II may be permissible 10 mention a fact as IL
the JOY or sorrow of community, but the
personal feeling Of any Individual Is not
of public interest.
