his neighbors that he would do all he
could to keep his roosters at home
but he would not bargain to keep them
from growing. Dr. Winston, who is
former president Of the A. & NJ.
and University of North Carolina, now
retired on the Carnegie fund, is Of
fe~inG a reward of S. to any >ue who
can offer a remedy for keeping his
rooster from growing and yet not in

SO he is awaiting the suggestion.
Seems to me here is a suggestion
contained which if grasped at the pro-
per and opportune time by some of our
legislators, or legislative candidates,
contains the germs for a reputation
and fame far beyond anything to be
attained by discussing or cussing the
llQUOI QuSSLIOu. IL Is LulS, pass d
law regulating the growing of a roos-
ter or the cacling Of a hen or the
braying of an ass within certain lin
its of dwelling or of the making Of
any other unseemly and discordant
noise so as to disturb the quiet and
peace and slumber of the community,
and also to prevent all such animals
running at large unless they are prop
erly labeled and muzzled. There is
greater opportunity for fame in this
proposition than there is in "Uncle
Godfrey's" dog bill or his safety match
proposition. I don't charge any OF
you anything for the suggestion.

In North Carolina it has been de-
cided that there is no law to prohibit
Va rooster from Growing. 1t is held
IA that it is the high pre1ogative Of
&rooster to crow at any time that he
kselects. 1t seems they have law up
there to prevent chicken to roam at
large, but that does not apply to
Growing rooster and I don't reckon it
would apply to Growing hen, or
cackling hen for that matter. In some
places they have laws to prevent jack
asses braying in the town and thus
disturbing the quiet slumbers Of the
inhabitants and even in NeWberry
there is an ordinance to prevent the
blowing of a railroad whistle or ring
ing a railroad bell by any train pass
ing through the incorporate limits OF
the city-that is while in the city
limits. I do not see why it should not
also apply to chicken roosters and
chicken hens Growing CT cackling and
also TO some human noises | have
heard which sometimes by stretch
CT the Imagination some people call
vocal music and accompanied by what
they call a piano. But must get back
70 tie chicken. I read the following
account Of the trial and acquittal OF
the rooster in some paper:
Judge P. C. Cooke, police justice or
the city of Asheville, has proved him
self friend Of the old dominicker
rooster in the exercise of their high
rrerogative in Growing thrice before
daybreak. Judge Cooke held that
Growing before daybreak was an in
herent right of a rooster and one that
neither could the weaver chicken
law nor the State of North Carolina
take away. There is nothing in the
statute books which prohibits a roos-
ter from growing and the Weaver law
was brought from the dusty shelves
in an effort to bring relief This law
forbids chickens TO disturb neighbors
by running at large. The case grew
out of a warrant sworn out by Stanley
Rowland, a neighbor of DR.. Winston's,
in which it was complained that the
chickens were tresn2ssers.

Three young women called at police

the supervision of Mrs Thorpe. They
were bad girls in those days, as the
world knows bad girls and it was Mrs.
Thorpe's task to reform them She
did. Today the girls are young women.
They are married and happy and they
went together to thank the woman
who helped them and showed to them
a better life.

known as the "parlor" of the matron s

of the past. The girls for they still

told the story of their early life of
shame. Then they told of the change
that came one day-how some way
and succeeded. Some times there were
tears in the eyes of the young women
who sat in the same dingy little room
where hundreds of other women have
sat and cried, too.
"They were some of my girls" said
Mrs. Thorpe few hours later, when
she told of the visit.
Every few days one of the girls
comes to see me, or writes me let

story. The girl is trying to do better;

kind of q girl, she can do 1t.
''Take these girls for example. Those

Chicago, Dec. What promises to

Three eastern trunk lines-the Grand

slash passenger rates from Chicago to
New York and Boston For instance,
according to the notice served on thir-

The decision to make these reduc-

More than 900 forty pound casks
of sauer kraut were eaten in the
United States last year. This country
is the largest consumer of sauer kraut
in the world and the rate of consump-
ton is increasing at the rate of rs per
cent annually. Further, this country
