An American traveller in the streets

An American traveller in the streets
of Paris seeing the words, "Wino
baths given here" exclaimed, well
these French are luxurious people
then with true Yankee curiosity, and
the feelings that he could afford what,
ever any one else did, walked in and
demanded "wine bath" Feeling
wonderfully refreshed after it, he ask,
ed in some establishment, how a wine
bath could be furnished so cheaply
His sable attendant, who had been a
slave in Virginia, and enjoyed a sly
bit of humor, replied:
"Oh, massa, we just pass il along
into anudder room, where we glib
baths at four francs
Then you throw it away ! sup-
pose
"No, massa, den We send it lower
down, and charge three francs bath,
Der's plenty of people who amt SO
berry particular, who will bathe in it
after this at two francs head. Den,
massa, we let's dc common people
have it at franc apiece.
"Then of course you throw it away"
exclaimed the traveller, who thought
this was going even beyond Yankee
profit
"No indeed, massa," was the indig-
nant reply, accompanied by pro,
found bow "no, indeed, massa, we
are not SO 'stravigant as dat comes
to we just bottles it up den, and
sends it to "Merica for champagne"

E9y The wags OF our town are making
merry over tie misfortune Of a young man,
OF our place, of Jewish and pedIlrg-boX
persuasion, who makes his living by ped
ing Jewclry and selling it foI cash, or
exchanging it for such articles as he can,
when a good bargain can DE affected. Not
long since, being on one of these tramps
up in Athens County, he found AN oppor-
tuniIy to trade for goat. The bargain
was struck, and the pedler started off
leading il. The idea struck him that if he
had the animal at Cincinnati, lie could
probably realize much more from Its sale
than to sell it in tie country, and, consc-
quenlly, he started for the nearest station
on the Cincinnati and Marietta Railroad.
Arriving before the train, he ascerlained
that the cost Of getting it through on the
cars would be about the value Of the goat.
True TO the money making instincts Of his
count,ymen, it did not take him long to
devise a plan by which lie might set it to
tie city very "cheop." Following up the
suggestion of his anxious desire Tor gain,
he procured a strong rope, and ,unobserved,
Tied the goat behind tie cais, and took Il
seat within, to think of the prospect he
had ahead. When arrived at Chillcothe,
the cars being detained a few minutes, the
anxious Je,o thought he would 60 and see
how "Goaty' was prospering. when TO his
surprise, nothing WAS to be seen but its
head with the rope attached to IL.
His first impulse was to recover from
the Company, but remembering that the
animal was being "dead hended' through.
abandoned all hopes of regaining. The
last seen of Linn at ChillicoIhe he was en-

E6r"Brovn." our Middleport CORES
pondent is worthy all praise Gor the spur
ing he administered to the Council of tha
place. We DO not entertain doub: thai
the Middleport Council is composed o.
good citizens, but, like all other Town
Councils, they lose sight of their duties as
officers in transacting the daily business
incumbent upon them as business men,
They will all doubtless acknowledge that
the municipal business has been neglected.
and that Browns" chastisement was
merited. 1t has had a salutaIy influence,
for, by referring to our advertising col
umns, it will be seen that they have en-
acted an ordinance since, and a very i'm
portant one, too, which, in all probability,
would have been omitted had it not been
for, "Brown's'' communications. 1t is
pleasing, however, to see the Council, in
the face of the merited lampooning, come
forward and make amends, and show that
they are willing to act when called upon.
There may be no occasion for our town,
at present, to have such an ordinance
passed as the one we publish from Mid
dleport, but it certainly would do no harm
to pass it, and might do much good. We
hope to see our Council preparing the
streets and sidewalks in view of the busy
season which will soon be upon us. There
is now time 10 do it, and there is no ques-
tion about it having to be done, sooner or
later; it must be done, or Front Street. the
principal one in our town, will be the next
thing to impossible. We understand an
effort will be made the coming season to
build bridge across Sugar Run OH Back
Street, which would be easily accomplished
if Council would give the needed encour-
agement. There are many other improve
ments that are very badly needed, and
which are demanded by the necessities of
our citizens.

EHWe publish this week, the interest
law passed January I2. 1924, which was
repealed when the ten per cent. law was
passed. but which is again in force, the
ten per cent law having been repealed.
The repeal of the ten per cent. law by
the present Legislature did not parake oi
a party spirit, and members voted just as
they seemed to think the interests of their
constituents, and the demands of their re-
spective localities required.
Since its repeal there has been much
more feeling manifested throught the State
than was supposed to exist. We have re-
ceived a laconic petition from the citizens
of Rutland. praying for legislation upon
articles of produce and manufacture
These citizens probably have reasons for
thinking the ten per cent. law should be
kept in force, and show some of the rea-
sons; but the question is one involving
much discussion, and there are many and
very good arguments that its repeal was
best.
We publish the Rutland petition in an
other column.

Inv vENTIvE.-A model Ofa Butter Press,
invented by one of our citizens, has been
left at our Office for exhibition. The OBJ
ject of il is to press the milk and water
from the butter after being churned, which,
we think, will work admirably. Tie utility
of such press will unquestionably lie ac-
cepted by all butter makers, as its cost will
not exceed $500, and can be used by
women and even children, SO simple is its
construction. This instrument can also
be used in making cheese, in whatever
quanitle it may be desired and, for this
purpose alone, we think, farmers should
not be wi,houLlt. The inventor has also
il tissue paper prepared TO put the butter
in after pressing, which will exclude the
air, and butter may be kept perfectly sweet
without being sailed, four or five months
The articles which compose the air-tighr
covering are used, we are informed by the
inventor, in every family, and are very
cheap.

graph office. where a model may be seen,
