Ii the par-on is right, Lancastrians
are site as long as they
stay* a' home, for the devil will
never risk his midline over our
loads and streets.
Nearly all cities and towns
have "dog ordinances"?laws
forbidding dogs to run at large
at this season ol the year, without
muzzles. Lancaster should
have such a regulation as a pro
lection to its men, women and
children.
Since the f regoing ?a< put in
type Council lias passed a "muzzle
ordinance," as will be seen
elsewhere.
At a banquet of wholesale
h ed men in New York a tew
nights ago one of the speakers
announced that a new irnit is
i in hoy o ti goj
which will be known as the
"millionaire strawberry," and
which will be "almost as large
as a Burbank potato." Nothing
?o remarkable a1 out that. Mr
R. T. Duulap, of Lancaster,
raised some stravberries this
season "almost as large" as
Georgia yams.
Jean Brun, who died at Geneva
the other day at the advanced
age of 102 years, said shortly
before his death :
"I have never consulted a
doctor and have never taken
medicine. I have drunk and
smoked all my life, and with the
exception of iny mother, have
never kissed a woman.''
The statement is a remarkable
THE
one and suggests more than one ii
question. Was it drinking and n
smoking, or refraining from kiss- o
ing women, or taking no medi- 1
cine that enabled Brun to reach t
a "good old age"?or was it a s
combination ot the several sup- s
posed longevity promoters? On t
the o her hand,might he not. have f
lived many years longer had he <
cut out liquor and tobacco, taaen j
a handful of pills occasionally 1
and indulged in oscillatory exer- i
cise with a pretty woman at <
every opportunity? i

THE BOY AS A STREET LOAFER.
About the worst thing for a
boy is for him to form the habit
ol loafing on the afreets; tor in
addition to the habit of idleness
that it begets it is Mire to lead
to other vices. We see very little
hope lor the boy that habitually ]
stands around on the streets, it ,
will not be long before he will
be using profane language, pulf1
ng cigarettes, and doing other (
indecent tilings which are discredit
able.--Greenwood Journal ;
Our esteemed contemporary is ,
exactly right. Many a bov is
ruined by habitual street loafing.
It is only a question of time
when he becomes a disgrace and
a menace to society. As a remedy,
the Journal suggests: *
Give your boy employment.
Iveep l?im everlastingly at it.
<iid tie will be contented and
remain at home. We hare heard
>1 parents in Greenwood who are
-eekinse employment h?r their
boys with a view to keeping 1
hem out of mischief. They are
i? be commended for their
thought fulness.
Lancaster, like Greenwood,
has boys whose parents would
do well to put themtosome kind
ot work in order to keep them
irouj constantly loafing on the
streets and about the depots.
Hut we do not believe that we
have any girl loalers, as seems
to be the ease with Greenwood,
induing from the following de.
:
nverat-ce ot our conb mponiry :
But the girls who loa'! Girls <
loaf? Watch the streets. They
will tell 1 ho tale. And then take !
a peep in the homes and see the
tired, care worn mothers 1 We (
must be excused lrom discussing, 1
for the present, the evils ot the
fair, giddy street loafers!
SIDEWALK IMPUOVEMENT
Wtnle walking up Railroad avenue
Sunday morning we discovered
the cement walk along
that street to be in a filthy con
di'ion. We suggest to the city
lathers that they take this mat
ier up at their next meeting and 1
see if some remedy can not bt*
found. Ladies going to church
in their nice while skirts will
agree with us we know, for we 1
saw several expensive ones ruined
Sunday. It would be an easy
matter lor the merchants on that
street to have the walk in front
of iheir place of business clean
*d oiTjust before closing time on
Saturday. That would give the (
street a more inviting appearance '
to the ladies and strangers, too. '

like a description of Lancaster's
cement sidewalks on Sundays,
doesn't it? It is just such a con J
dition as The News has time and '
again called attention to with re- <
ierence to our Main street pave- i
ments, and the remedy suggested '
is the same that we have urged our
merchants to adopt. Itisapity ,
that our only nice, up-to-date !
sidewalks should present the un <

that they do on the Lord's day.
