THE BELL-RINGING NUISANCE.
Report to Police Headquarters May
Cause It to Be Broken Up.

Although it cannot be expected that the
police are ubiquitous" said an Indignant
fat-dweller to Star reporter at the Po-
lice Court, II am down here to secure war
rants for the arrest of a couple of boys In
my neighborhood who have made my life
miserable by ringing the doorbell at my
apartment and then running away and
making fun of the servant when she re-
sponded to the call.
81 understand from the court officers that
this is a practice which has occasioned
many complaints from all quarters of the
city. l was also informed by the lieutenant
of the precinct in which reside that many
similar complaints come into the station
houses. and that, when such complaints are
received, the officers on the beats from
which the complaints arise are instructed
to look out for the youthful offenders. The
officers are required, however, TO cover
their respective beats, and they cannot be
expected to be in a dozen places at the
same time.
'If a householder who is thus annoyed
takes the law into his own hands. his
anger may make him handle the boys with
more force than is necessary TO effect a
mere arrest as the boys will kick and yell
as though they were being murdered, when
caught. Many OF these boys are of good
families and their parents must be reckoned
with; they always make the same conten-
ton that IL must be some other boy than
their own, and threaten civil suits and
while some delay and annoyance may
be occasioned In fixing the identity OF boys
engaged in this practice. yet when their
identity is established a warrant should be
sworn out and an arrest made by an officer
detailed for that purpose. This wilSbring
tho offense directly home to the parents OF
the offender, and when the law has taken
its course there will be one boy less in that
particular neighborhood who will have
given up his butfon-pressing or bell pulling
proclivities. 1t also hac a deterrent effect
upon other boys in that vicinity, as the
news of such arrests is very quickly spread
among the youthful population.
1T is not worth while however. TO emu
late the experience of neighbor Of mine
on the same block with me He was
moved In the same manner, but being portly
and past the sprinting age, he delegated
his grown son to watch for the trouble
some youngster and to give chase. The boy
was caught by the son after vigorous
sprint and turned over to the officer on the
beat to be taken to the station house. IL
happened that the lads mother, who was
a poor woman, came along In time TO make
fearful plea to my neighbours son not
to press the charge. He yielded to her en-
treaties and the lad was allowed TO go.
On the third night thereafter the same
little rascal was caught pulling dooroells
upon the same block. This time he was
caught by a citizen with stonier heart
and went to the Police Court before going
home. He has not annoyed the neiehoor~
hood since"

The "Temperamentp Excuse.

From the American Magazine.
Sometimes you hear as an excuse for
faults, 'Tt is my temperament" Do you
not know that the perversions Of a temper
ment are not the temperament itself?
There never was temperament that had
not it's good as well as its evil possibilities.
The truth is that we inherit our tempera-
ment with it's natural perversions. and IT is
our business In life to shake off the perver-
sions, In order that we may find the verita-
BILE temperament Itself. and that it may
carry US on truly to the best work that
such temperament can do. If all who
have excused themselves for selfshness ard
evil because of the artistic temperament
ing the perversions Of their temperament,
and not the temperament itself, much need
less pain and sorrow might have been
avoided

Young Cordery's parents at the opening
of the school term resided on farm about
four miles from Chamois. Later in the
year the Cordreys moved to farm eight
miles distant from the town. 1t was sup
posed that young Cordrey would give up
his school work Not so. He continued
to walk to town and to return home after
school. sixteen miles a. day. There was
no high school nearer his home, and he
was bent on becoming educated Nor Is 1t

silence is but dumb interpreter of the

complex and intricate as the ffexured inter-
weaving of leafy branches overhead, or
the gray and gold-green tints that sift

MEAT ON FRIDAY.
Unusual Announcement Made by the
Pope

3OPCs
Chancellor Gavan, at the cathedral. gave
out the following statement from Cardinal
Gibbons last night:
1.-THE cardinal has received notification
from Rome. through the apostolic delega-
ton, that the holy father has granted a
dispensation from abstinence for Friday,
June 20 the Feast of IS. Peter and Paul"
This dispensation is granted because this
year the feast day of SIS. Peter and Paul
falls on Friday. These two greatest apostles
planted the church In Rome, and this is a
feast day of the first class. The day is
celebrated in Rome with great mag
niiicance. and the services In ST. Peters are
most elaborate.
1t is very unusual for a Glspensation to
eat meat on Friday to be granted. as all
Fridays in the year are strictly observed as
days of abstinence, unless Christmas day
falls on a Friday; then the day previous
Is one of abstinence.

careful consideration: well, that Is

A man in the audience, who knew
both the aunts, alter the meeting told
this:
Aunt Martha was one of the strict.

She demanded chiefly obedience OF her

John slowly climbed the stairs and
