HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW
QUIET THE STREETS ARE?


On coming down town in the
evenings lately have you felt that
something was missing? Have you
felt that one of the old signs OF twi-
light on the streets of Abilene was
silent? Then did you figure out
what it was? You guessed it. The
monographs and the megaphones
belonging to the picture shows nave
been muffIed, never again to extol
the finest vaudeville and grandest
pictures ever.
The managers were requested py
the mayor to quiet the noise because
many complaints had been made and
both agreed to do SO.
The shows are established mere
now and such means of advertise
ment is unnecessary and to be hon
est about it, the continued blaring
of the monographs and the tarrtng
efforts of the amateur megaphone
artists were somewhat nerve rack
ing.

DO TURTLE DOVES KNOW?
They Fly in Front Of Hunter and
Make Faces at Him.

Do turtle doves know that they
are protected under the new law?
A we'll known Abilene hunter says
they do. He says they show 1t every
day.
Heretofore" he said, 1--WE would
occasionally see them sitting along
on telephone wires along the road
ways. But now you ought to see
them. There are several between
every telephone pole. They wait
until a hunter comes along and then
they fly right in front of him, Just
where he could get a good shot at
them. But they know the law says
hands off. I've actually seen them
wink and make faces at me when
passed along with gun hunting
for plover which don't seem to exist
any more. Maybe its alright to pro-
tect skunks and turtle doves; don't
know. But l think the law should
be amended to give the hunter a
right to blaze away at a turtle dove
that sticks his tongue out at him
or taunts him and dares him to
shoot"

HE STUCK AROUND TOO
LONG WITH HIS JOY FLUID.
Chapter ii in the Story Of the Mys-
terious Thirty-Six Pints.

A few days ago a story was pub
lished in the Reflector that the city
police had discovered suit case
which contained 36 pints Of dark,
amber colored fluid, probably not
coffee, and that the owner Of this
stock of merchandise had later re-
moved the same to Chapman.
The second chapter Of the story
is now ready. This man was mark
ed when he landed in Chapman and
such a close watch was kept over
him that yesterday County Attorney
Rugb went to Chapman and Issued
a warrant for his arrest. Before the
arrest was made, however, the man
decided to come back to Abilene and
Deputy Sheriff Sherman had the ex-
treme pleasure of placing him in
custody at 6 o'clock last evening.
He gave his name as Leslie Rabefl
and at first denied ever being in
Abilene before but such a number
Of people had seen him here that
he was later forced to admit previous
visits. Receipts for several large
payments to certain breweries were
found in his pockets. The Officers
say his reason for leaving Chapman
was that he ran out of the stock-in-
trade.
