LOVE LETTERS

Even the love letters of a great character become important during the passage of time. Of all things, love letters are of such an intimate character that to print them may provide delcctable reading for pco. pie whose curiosity as to how great men attended to their loving. To read the love missives of even such an historic character as Lincoln is merely a species of intellectual pastime for a few idle moments, not vastly superior in essence than the reading of anyone else's love mis- sivea
 It was the Atlantic Monthly which claimed to have unearthed the Lin- coln love letters to Ann Rutledxc. Yet the Lincoln Centennial Associ- ation of Springfield. lll.. comparing the handwriting of the resurrected letters with the known chirography of Lincoln. unhesitatingly brands them a forgery. The correspondence between the pair of lovers has dis- appeared, however: and it may be that the compiler of the Atlantic's Lincoln love letters may claim that he got hold Of it.
 In our opinion a mans love letters are not very important to anyone except the party to whom they were addressed. It Is a species of intcs. lectuai moronism to gloat over such letters supposed to have been writ ten by a great man.

PROBE SHOOTING
 BY COAST GUARD
Killing of Man on Lake Ontario
 Boat Declared Justified

Buffalo. N. r.. Nov. 30 R- Federal and Niagara county officials today started an investigation of the capture by coastguardsmen in Lake Ontario, near the mouth of the Ma sara river early yesterday of the cabin cruiser Bug. in connection with which Carl Anderson. 3s. of Lewiston. one Of the Bug crew. was shot to death and Edmund Eahr, 2f, of Niagara Falls, the other member seriously wounded.
 CoAstguardsmen assert the shoot ing was justified. They said the boat, . suspected rum runner, failed to hove-to when ordered. Last spring the fatal shooting of Jacob D. Han son, occurred only short distance from the scene of yesterdays fatal ity. Hanson, secretary of Niagara Falls Lodge of Elks, was mortaIly wounded while driving his automo- bile up Lewiston Hill iR Niagara county. He was suspected by coast gua uardsmen at the time of running rum. but no liquor was found in hts car and acquaintances later cleared his name of all suspicion.

STABLES IN THE CITY

More evidence of changing times is had by contemplating the row un- der way regarding the desire of a citizen to ase bit Of property as stable for his horse. Time was when citizens were by no means skittish about stables: they existed all over the city, and livery barns were com- mon even downtown. The streets were not cluttered with as many horses and the vehicles they dragged as automobiles clutter them today. but thers were aplenty. Hitching posts. were everywhere. and phiIan- thropic eiiizens. when they wanted to do something especially humane. would present a new drinking fountain to the city.
 Now even the rumor tsat some- body is to use a part of his property as A stable for one lone horse arouses indignation among the neighbors The only safe place for the few horses left. it seems. is in the country. Yet there are horses seen on the streets here and there, the express company continuing 10 rely hrs, t1 Nto as.the ash collectors and such other necessary gentry.
 Where the city used 10 have one stable 1t now has ten garages. Few of. the garages are as elaborate in theit< makeup how ever. as some Of the best kept stables that really graced the city 70 years ago. The fine homes had them in the rear and some of them are standing still, al- though not used any longer for what they were built. Indeed, some of them have been turned into gara gcs.
 4 finely built stable 10 the rear of . fine house, the ground floor for the horses and equlpages and the upper floor for the hay loft and pos sihly the lodgings of the hostler. was nothing hard on the eyes. Those were the days when Judge w. C. Hungerford got his love for horses. an esteem that stays with hlm still and which has resulted in him pro viding what is regarded as the finest stables in this part of Connecticut although it is located in Kensington. not New Britain.
 If the conquering activities of the trucks and automobiles continue the day may not be far distant when there will not be single stable in the city. It nearly looks that way even now. so scarce have they be- come.

AVOIDING EMBARRASSMENT

The other day an autoisA vas ar- rested and fined for cuttng into . funeral procession. In these days when funeral processions are cem- posed Of automobiles which look just like any other cars it Is some- times difficult to recognise the char acter of the procession. The unsus- pecting motorist may not only cut through one without knowing it but may also become part of 1t if he hap pens to be going in the same dires- ton.
 If each automobile in such a pro- cession had an appropriate desitna- ton such things would not be likely to happen; and this is a job for the think tanks of the undertakers.
