LETTER ADDRESSED IN FLAGS.
Signal Code Inscription Puzzled the
Postal Officials.

Philadelphia letter addressed
with reproductions of international
code signal flags has been bothering
the postal officials in this city for sew
eral days, as no one could read what
the code meant. The name of the per-
son for whom 1t was intended, as we'll
as the entire address on the envelope,
was a series Of printed flags of many
designs and colors, pasted on the en-
velope, which to the landlubber meant
little, but to any seaman the flags were
brimful of significance.
No one could tell what the flags
meant until it was sent up to the office
of United States local inspectors of
vessels, who deciphered the code cas-
lily, each flag meaning a separate let
ter. The address was Miss Eva
Sable, 1860 East Seventeen street,
Cleveland, o. The letter was then
hurried of, the cause of the delay be-
ing apparent, as the postmaster at
Cleveland is likely to discover.

ers say. that now the importers do not

them through all pasted together and

trouble.
The use Of labels made in France
and boxes as well seems to lie in the
fact that the domestic boxmakers are
not up to initiating the peculiar type
and finish OF the foreign boxes. Many
dealers say that their domestic cheeses
when put up in the imported boxes
absolutely cannot be told from the
imported brands. at least not by any.

government knows who fills the boxes.
and doubtless will see to the Amert

HEN STEALS A DIAMOND.
Aristocratic Fowl Loses Its Life as q
Penalty.

Mitchell, s. D.-While walking
through the long row of coops at the
state poultry show A. H. Belts, grain
man, stopped before one in which a
friendly hen of the Buff Orpington va
riety stuck out its head. Mr. Belts
tapped the bird on the side of its head,
and the sparkle of diamond ring
which he was wearing attracted the
eye of the hen. Quick as a fash its
bill struck the brilliant, and in sec
ond the hen had transferred the dia-
mond from the setting to its craw.
Mr.. Belts hurried over to Secretary
Scallin and wanted to know IL the hen
was for sale, and explained his
anxiety. The owner was not present
and the secretary could not say
Warm water was poured down the
throat of the chicken and it became
sick, but did not give up the diamond.
Later 1t died, and after little surgical
operation the diamond was secured.

AS TO SHOOTING IN TOWN.

The shooting Of guns and pistols
within the incorporate limits Of the
town Of Walhalla Is Of too frequent
occurrence, and 1t is in direct viola
tion of the laws Of the town. Since
the trNning of the bird season num-
erous complaints have been made
that hunters, before reaching the
town limits, frequently discharge
their guns, with the result that shot
are ratified promiscuously about the
residences and premises of citizens
This is not only exceedingly unpleas-
ant, but very dangerous, and the
practice should be stopped at ouce.
Only about aweek ago valuable
horse was shot while standing in the
owners stable. The horse died, en-
failing a heavy loss on one OF our
citizens. And for what? Simply that
some irresponsible, thoughtless per-
son. or criminally careless neigbbor,
saw fit to fire a shot with no just
and must be stopped
In order that our citizens may
know the exact local law on this
point we quote below Section s Of
Ordinance No. /, which reads as fol-
lows:
Section s. That it shall be unlaw-
full to shoot guns, pistols or other
firearms, tire-crackers or siingShots,
or to throw fire balls within the in
corporate limits OF the town, and any
person or persons so doing shall be
guilty Of a miSdemcanOr: Pl lovided,
a person may shoot firearms on his
own premises for the bona fide pur-
pose of protecting his property from
damage by animals or birds wild by
nature: Provided, further, that the
discharge Of balls or shot from any
firearms by any person for the pur-
pose aforesaid. within the incorpo-
rate limits, shall be confined to the
premises owned or occupied by the
person shooting"
The terms of this ordinance are
very plain and to the point The
firing OF guns and pistols in the in
corporate limits OF the town Is prac-
tically prohibited, for, brought down
to it's last analysis, there Is not one
case in n year, taking in the entire
town, where the firing Of gun is
necessary.
This ordinance will in the future
be strictly enforced, and it is the
duty of every citizen to aid the OFF,
GERS in enforcing 1t. This is very
easily done by simply reporting to
the officers each case that comes un-
der your observation, and by back
ing up the report with direct evi-
dcncc to convict. If we will all do
our parts as individual citizens the
officers will do theirs, and there will
soon be no firing of guns and pistols
to disturb the quiet or imperil the
lives Of citizens or their stock.
