BILLS ALLOWED.

There were three of them; nice young men, too;
one Of them sings In choir because he would
rather do that than go fishing on Sunday. The
other two don't, because they imagine buzz saw
music wouldn't be appreciated by religious list
rers. The first one was tall, the Others though
not exactly podgy, were only knee high TO gas
post. 1t was last Sunday evening just after the
churches had closed when these three young men
started out for asentimental STROLL but after they
had strolled awhile, they began to feel that they
were not in sentimental mood, and one Of the
shortes was the first to express this fact by re-
marking;
Boys, I'm kind O hungry and the others re-
marked in turn.
So am l. Then the tall young man. as though
suddenly struck in the pit of the stOmache by
hot potato, said:
l have it, by Jupiter I've got it, sure as gun,
know where there's watermelon In garden
f,r you, young man, and will have it or bust.
Then they agreed to go on an expedition against
that Watermelon and accordingly they walked
rapidly for about three-fourths of a mile when
they came to house on South Plum street. Then
the one who "had got it, motioned silence, and
they crawled quietly into a lot, and the leader,
reaching place in the garden, got his hands on
the prize, and excltedly said to one Of his com
panionS:
Give me your knife, I've got IT. give me your
knife till l saw the stem off
He got the knife, severed the stem, and with the
melon under his arm, they fastened off to Sc
cluded spot, where they sat down to enjoy feast.
The young man who had captured the prize, was
called on to plug it, and as they sat in joyful
ticipation, the thing was plugged and the piece
hlnded to one of the others to TASTE just to see if
was a good melon, you know. He tasted 1t. and
en- quickly handed 1t to the other one, who pu
it to his mouth bit out piece as big as goose
egg, and then suddenly spit all over his Sunday
pants and yelled:
Darned II 1t aln't punkin!
Then the two who had tasted rolled on the
grass and yelled in laughter like maniacs while
the discounted captor of the pumpkin uttered the
second third proane ejaculation that had passed
his lips in a life time and as he threw the green
vegetable about fifty feet he sang out:
Sold, by thunder, but the joke was too much,
and he joined in the chorus with the other boys.

Bill was arrested On appearing before Mayor
Braden on Friday morning. he pleaded guilty to
charge of gambling, and was fined S25 and costs,
which he readily paid. Canada Bill, whose real
name is William Kennedy, is one of the most
widely known and expert gamblers in America,
and operates principally on railroad trains He
has numerous disguises and is good character
actor; his most profitable game is that OF a drover
or farmer, which he plays admirably, so far as the
acting is concerned. He fas feeCed men out Of
sums ranging from s25 to $4,000 in a short space of
time, and a man whosees him one day, though he
may observe him closely, may see him the next

strange how men will fool their money away on
another mans game, no matter what its nature
may be, but man who loses money at three card

exposing all its ways for years cannot expect the
sympathy of any one.

OUR new safe, manufactured by DebOld, Norris
& Co., is a beauty. There's no use talking, the
work turned out by this well known firm cannot
be excelled anywhere in the world. nor do we
think 1t can be equalled. That immense San
Francisco vault, made by them recently, has been
described by nearly all the leading papers Of the
United States, and by number of European jour.
nails and all agree that it was the largest and
most successful undertaking in all the history Of
safe making Their safes have stood tests un'
harmed, that no other safes have ever stood, and
to-day they stand higher on their own merits than
any made in the country. We say this to the
credit of Messrs. Diebold, Norris & Co.. and to the
credit of our town, and speak only from Knowl-
edge gained through unsolicited manifestations
and CLEANED from different quarters of the GOun-
try where their safes are rapidly growing into
public favor.

A SHORT time ago. when the creeks were high,
a little girl named Smith, residing with her par
ents near the east railroad bridge, was playing
near her home, and getting too near the bank of
the creek she fell over, where the water was six
or seven feet deep. Her mother heard her scream
and not thinking of the high water, Immediately
ran and jumped into the creek hoping to save
the child, but she could do nothing, the water
was too deep for her to stand up right and keep
her head above its surface, and she mingled her
screams with those of the child, and in moment
another woman living close by ran to the bank
and also jumped in. There they were, three Oi
them, two women and little girl, struggling
against impending death, which surely would
have been their fate had not some men close by
heard their united screams and hastened to their
rescue, which was effected just in time, as they
we're almost exhausted when they were taken out

Saturday when he was approached by fifty year
old, who looked on and smiled at his Intellectual
attempts for few minutes, and then spit on his
hands, rubbed them off on his breeches and said !:
Lookee here young feller, you don't know how
to handle an AK lemme show ye how hewed
timber in the woods when was your age. The
young man didn't object and old newer spit on
his hands again, and took the ak. He looked at
the wood a moment, and then he gave the ak
full swing over his head, and as 1t came down
with unusual force, the blade struck knot side
ways, turned pirouette, and two Aip-haps, and as
the implement swung over his head the handle
struck him on the nose Then he looked wildly
about for moment, and as he started away he
muttered;

On last Monday evening, about eight o'clock, a
two seated vehicle passed the Court House going
westward on Tuscarawas street. The carriage
contained two rural pairs, apparently a cheap we'd
ding party, and the one who seemed to be the
happy man, was leaning back on the seat, with
his right foot braced up against the dash, while in
spirited manner he was executing "SOre-heeled
Sally on cracked violin, without regard to flats
or sharps. A lot of hoodums gave him three
cheers and yelled Shoot the fiddle" "WhOop-em.
