OBJECT TO THE CHICKENS
Residents of Summer Place AIIees
That Their Early Morning Rest
Is Disturbed.

The dwellers in the residential SEQ
become much excited over discussions
of the question. Is it proper and right
to maintain poultry farm on vii
Iage plot? Since the days have length
ened and the sun rises early and the
windows are kept open wide all
night, it is maintained by those on
the negative side Of the discussion
restful sleep is out of the question
after 4 o'clock in the morning A petit
ten setting forth all the arguments
from the moral, economic and social
points Of view against chicken raising
inside of village limits has been cir
culated, and has the names of all who
DO not own chickens. One of the sign
ers said the whole trouble was
brought on the community by the i'm.
portation Of bantam rooster. What
this fellow lacks in size he makes vi
in volume and shrillness of voice and
in the zeal with which he INDUCES his
talent for growing in the early hours
OF the day. He is keyed too high
and his owner should feed him chalk
every night. The petition describes
in detail the annoyance of being
reused out of sound sleep by 2
loud cock-a-doodle-doo and the horror
of lying awake to listen fer the next
summons from the other ROSTERS
One particularly loud-voiced Leghorl
was found dead beside his coop few
days ago. 1t is said on of the neigh
bors, at the risk Of being shot, broke
the ROSTERS neck 1t took only 6
few days for the owner to get an
other lusty-lunged bird, and now there
is some feeling!

DE MoNTLUc A TRUE eASC0N
Character Of Romantic Soldier Illus
trated by an Incident During the
Siege Of Sienna.

Blaise de Montluc was a soldier and
a marshal of France who fought
through half the sixteenth century.
Like a true Gascon, as he was, he
added to his great physical qualities
courage, high spirits and an unquench-
able gaiety, which distinguished him
above soldiers of a graveT mold. lie
was the veritable captain of his soul.
In the Italian wars Blaise de Mont
luc commanded the defense Of Sienna
during the prolonged siege. When the
town was reduced to a few ounces of
bread daily, Blaise was overcome with
sickness, and had himself carried
about in chair mufled up in furs.
But perceiving that the inhabitants,
especially the women, were thus rem
dered apprehensive of their fate should
he die,"-so runs the excerpt from De
Montluc's Commentaries, The call
ed for a pair of crimson velvet
breeches, laid over with gold lace,
very finely cut, for they were made at
time when he was forsooth in love.
He put on a doublet Of the same, and
shirt of crimson silk and gold twist;
then a buff collar over which he put
his arms, very finely gilt"
He was at that time wearing gray
and white, Gin honor Of fair lady to
whom he was a servant when he had
leisure" So he put on hat Of gray
silk, with gray silver hatband, and
plume of heron's feathers set with
silver spangles. ....s 4.
He also put on a short cassock of
gray velvet, garnished with little
plates of silver at two fingers distance
from one another, and lined with cloth
of silver, all open between the plates"
Then he rubbed his face with
Greek wine till he brought little
color into his cheeks, and drank a
small draught with a little bit of
bread.
"Re then looked at himself in the
glass, strutted before his officers,
though he had not the strngth to kill
a chicken, and rode through the town
to the great comfort of all beholders."

Notorious cracksman's Explanation of
His Reason for Refusing an Easy

An American philanthropist made a

out OF Jail. A notorious craftsman
came to him with letter of introduc-
tion from the clergyman.
1--WE the very thing you want" said
the philanthropist, when the jail-bird
had dilated adequately and with pride
upon his exploits. 'I'll see my friend
Briggs. Come around tomorrow morn

The craftsman, encouraged by the
prospect of honest work, appeared
promptly at the appointed hour.
You're TO go to work at once" said
the philanthropist. my friend is pro-
ducing a melodrama. In it is a scene
where BURGLAR enters the room and
cracks a safe I'll only take you a
few minutes, and you don't have to

Mr.. Editor:
Dear Sir,
The town meeting at East Charles
ton passed off pleasantly. W. T..
Gibson made motion which was not

made. The object was to call atten-
ton for future action. The motion
in writing read as follows: I
THAT all town officers elected
each year become an advisory
board"
Reason: "That where any matter
came up out of the ordinary, or a
proposition made by any legal voter,
that a board meeting be called for
council and decision" This would
bring less responsibility and criticism
on the selectmen. might mention
several of our officers that would
MAKE good council men, but to illus
trate | mention only Honorable c. E.
Coruth, representative Of years of
experience in various town and state
offices and well posted on law points.
There are questions which come up
that selectmen do not care to take
the responsibility of decision and
action and the matter is deferred
until the next town meeting; the de-
lay often retards progress lin the
right line and the town suffers in
convenience and loss of money, and
each member of the board of council
men having equal responsibility in
voting on a proposed question, the
anne as in municipal government
of city. This proposition does not
add any more members to town
offices or cause any greater expense.
Each legal voter whether he pays 81
or 5000 tax, has a personal respon-
sibility and interest. A town is prac-
tically cooperation and would have
thus bring each voter in touch by a
better understanding as to what ac-
ton to take by said board and it
would also educate our young voters
along these lines.

The entire plan and process of put

leads to an inspiration which is known
by the fact that the farmer actually

In working out the plan to its most

that the school and home cooperate
that parents, pupils and teacher work
