On next Monday evening the time
dishonored festival Of Halloween will
be here once more. The annual nuis-
ance has somewhat abated Of late
years and the fact is noteworthy as
denoting an increase in common sense.
1t has long been the custom on this
night Of the year for featherbrained
persons to commit number Of crimes,
among which are Ythefts, destruction
of property and cruelty to aniamls. 1t
is probable that number of exsa po.
lice Will be on duty on that night and
those who cannot discern between fun
and malicious mischief had better re-
main at home.
