Speaking of the improvements at
tanned by our town, what exciting
times we had some twenty years ago
over the question of hog in or hog out
1t had been privilege here from time
immemorlal to allow ones hogs to roam
at will about the town, and as almost
every body kept hogs, the condition of
the town may be imagined. Filthy,
grunting porkers had their wallows on
every street and they waddled over
the sidewalks and about the houses at
their own pleasure. Woe to the per-
sons who left gate open, for then it
was destruction to the garden and fare
we'll to vegetables. When it was pro.
posed to restrain the hog and make it
an unlawful thing to turn him loose
upon the streets, great cry went up
at this attack on the rights Of the "poor
man" The question was submitted
to the voters at the polls, and first the
"hog-in" advocates would win and
then the "hog- outers." Finally tue
nuisance was permanently abated, an
election having settled the quest in
favor of "hog in. and no subsequent
council re-eopened the question. And
no "poor man" seems to have been
seriously damaged.

Our forefathers were experts in cut
ting stones for steps and curbing.
There are still few of the old stone
porches left, some of them much awry,
but they show that there were good
quarries hereabouts and men who
knew how to work them. The portico
of the old college building and the
wall that encloses the pretty lawn
are fine specimens Of stone work. 1t
is said that these stones were from the
quarry at Bellevue, Just north of
town, and the work, or at least a part
of it, was done by the late Joseph
Randall. Another excellent piece Of
work is the Episcopal church, soft
toned grey limestone that improves
with age. Does anyone know where
the stone in this church was quar-
ried? The most beautiful piece OF
stone work erected here in recent
years is that of the new Lutheran
church. 1t is dark blue limestone
of uniform color, and came from a
quarry in @. D. Wysong's field, south
east of town. 1t has been greatly
admired.

Then came a kindred question
shall it be cow in or COW out2 Here
was another inalienable right attack
ed. The town COW was an established
institution. She and her calf must
be protected, and the "poor widow"
who owned her must surely not be
made a victim of the fastidious ones
who objected to the streets being made
a pasture ground. 1t was consider.
able of struggle to get the cows off
the streets, and if they themselves had
not gotten so smart their privileges
would have lasted longer. But there
were several typical old town COWS
that became so cute they could I'M.
hook almost any gate in town. In
deed, Jimmie Jones declared that
Barnhart's cow knew how to unlock
Jim Richards screw locks. At that
time almost every householder had his
own vegetable garden, and there was
great rivalry as to who would have
the first potatoes. peas, beans, toma-
toes, etc. Every now and then one
of these gardens would be raided by
the town COWS, and thus an inveterate
enemy Was made. On Frog Island"
lived an influential champion of cow
out, who was at the same tine skilled
gardener. Once as he lay abed he
heard at intervals all through the
night the tinkle, tinkle of bell that
he recognized as one hanging to the
neck of one of the best known of the
town cows. He was too sleepy to
think much about it, and it never oc-
Cured to him that there was trouble
afoot. But, alasl wDen he arose in
the morning he found the old COW and
several of her companions still feast
ing on the remnants of his garden.
The place looked as # cyclone had
struck it. The peas had been de.
voured, the tender young corn had
been trodden into the earth, beans and
beets and potatoes were no more, aud
all the cabbage was destroyed. He

NOTES BY OBSERVER.

The passing of the old stone pave
ments in Shepherdstown, thanks to
the orders ofthe town council. marks
another epoch of improvement in our
village life. This reminds US that
while improvements come slowly In
the country, they do come sooner or
later. Most of these Old stone side
walks were laid before the day of the
present generation, and while they
may have been all right in their time,
they became veritable stumbling
blocks of late years. Observer re-
calls one big smooth stone, of the
shape of the map of Italy, ON which
hundreds of people have slipped. and
at another place there was space be-
tween two stones where lady once
caught her shoe. and, much to her
embarrassment, was obliged to uulace
the shoe and take her foot from it be.
fore she could release it. 1t is said
that there was hole in the heel OF
her stocking, but Observer does not
believe this part Of the story.

NO LIERTY FOR RUSSIANS.
Autocratic Rule of Gear Again
Shown in Premier's Address.

ST. PETERSBURG. November 30.-The
declaration of the government. read by
Premier Stolypin before the duma yester-
day. was received with dismay by the
octoberists and the constitutional demo-
Gratis. and with open eXultation by men,
bers of the right party.
The keynote of the address was reitera-
ton OF the idea of the autocratic power
of the emperor as the sole guarantee Of
security and welfare in an era of dis
order. The announcement also was mado
that the duma was expected to take its
cue from the administration in the matter
of legislation. and the remier outlined
what future legislation was expected. He
excoriated the radical payties as foster
ers of crime and sedition. and said the ir
excuses would no longer be tolerated in
Russia This statement is taken to show
that the administration looks with dis
favor upon any alliance between the oc-
toberists and the constitutional democrats.
The premier was interrupted by ap-
plause from members of the right but at
the conclusion of his address there was
scarcely handicap from the octoberist
ranks.

FAvoRs MARRIAGE BANNs.
Missouri Official Thinks They Would
Decrease Divorce.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, November 30
That every person intending marriage
should be required to file declaration of
intention to that effect some months be-
fore marriage Is the conclusion of Thomas
Speed Mosby. pardon attorney of Mis-.
souri,. after an exhaustive study of the
problem of divorce in it's relation to crime
"All criminologists know the intimate
relationship of divorce and criminality."
says Mr.. Mosby. Fifty per cent of the
children in the reform schools are the
children of divorced parents or children
OF uncertain parentage. Fully Is per
cent of juvenile criminals have had bad
home environment. and large percentage
of adult criminals may trace their down
fall to the ruined home'
But the Missouri pardon attorney does
not think that the problem will be definite
ly solved by greater stringency in the
divorce laws.
so long as we cannot guarantee infal-
libility in matrimonial selection" Mr.
Mosby concludes. the state must recogJ
nize divorce. 1t may minimize, but not
abolish. However. the root of the evil
lies not in separation. bu in the causes
which induce separation. The remedy,
therefore, should be prophylactic rather
than curative. 1t is better to prevent
matrimonial misfits where possible than
to seek to escape the inevitable disjunc-
ton of mismated couples. Publicity of
matrimonial engagement, with lapse of
time between engagement and marriage
not only facilitates the discovery of any
legal impediment to marriage, but tends
measurably to increase the prospect of in
fallibility in matrimonial selection The
greater the length of time given to dis
cover mistakes the greater the probability
of avoiding them Pope Innocent III
recognized this when. in the year 1915, he
established the publication of marriage
banns. The Catholic Church banns were
afterward recognized by the laws of Eng
land in the statutes of George II and
George III. But the three weeks publ
cation prescribed by the church is in
sufficient in point of time, is not of uni
versal application, and is too limited in
point of publicity. If the state laws pro-
vided that no marriage license should be
issued excepting to those persons filing
with the clerk or registrar at least three
four or even six months previously a
declaration of intention to marry, there
would be fewer marital mistakes, but
little of the divorce problem would remain,
and crime would be necessarily dimin-
iShed,"

Railroads Ready to Order Steel Rails

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 3O.-Mak-
ers of steel rails yesterday reported a
flood Of inquiries for steel rails by several
large railroads which had not yet been
heard from with reference to placing their
orders for next year. In every case the
makers are instructed to reserve space on
the order books for rails, and the infor-
nation is that orders will follow within a
few weeks. 1t is understood that there
has been quiet conference between the
warning factions on the rail proposition
and quiet agreement has been reached
for the rail orders of next year. The flood
Of inquiry which has come to local mills
of the corporation from different railroads
in the past seventy-two hours would seem
to indicate that an agreement has beer
reached. and that the war for better
rail is over, at least for the present.
