number Of boys and young men, many
of them more or less Intoxicated, In
dulged in the rather questionable
amusement of taking gates from their
hinges and hiding them, etc. They

The object of the boys, no doubt, Is
fun; but the results are frequently In
convenience, expense and hardship to
people who are unable to see the
