AN OBLIGING MAN.

| He lives in the Second Ward and was sitting
quietly at home the other day, when seedy tramp
came to the door and accosted him with the stereo-
typed plea:
viii you gimme a bite to eat? I've walked fifty
miles day for two weeK0 an I'avent 'ad bite
10 eat for 'leven days.
All right, said the CantOnian thoughtfully fifty
miles two weaks should say so you must lie
suffering the pangs OF hunger pretty lively by this
time; step in though, l guess l can scrape up
something for you. Then the vag took seat; the
mans wife was out and had left pan of e Id
Aarch on a shelf, which, with exception of loa t
of bread and some butter was all the cold victuals
he could find but as he placed them on the table
and called the tramp up, he said:
There now, my suffering customer pitch in
there's whole loaf OF bread, and two pounds Of
butter, more butter where that come from too but
this other stuff, don't exactly know what 1t is,
some new tangled pudding of Maria's guess .
she's always getting something new out of a pat.
ent cook book but go in my man, don't be back

Then the tramp went at that loaf of bread. he
used up quarter section In three bites and grasp
ing spoon. he scooped into the pudding, took
two big swallows before the taste struck his sense
then he blinked, puckered his lips, looked suspi-
ciously over his shoulder at the man, and finally
took another smaller dose; then he turned square
| " around and addressed his host
LooKee here, old boss don't want none of your
Lucreta Board yer business on me; what is this
ere bloody stuff in this PAM Its pizen, say so
| then the man tasted 1t and remarked:
I'll be hanged If l k, ow; but its some kind o.
| puddin here, put some cream and sugar on 1t
and 1t will 20 better; and he gave the tramp some
milk and sugar, which he mixed up with the
starch, and he took two or three more doses when
his tongue began to get smooth, and he said to his
host
That's better, but 'opes to sleep in hice 'ouse
it's worth 'ungry mans time to eat 1t; anged
L don't. Then the Cantonian showed his blood
and went for he vag in this style:
See here you poverty stricken critic my wife

The vag saw he meantbusiness, and the way he
spooned that starch into him would have made a

thirteen seconds emptying that pan Ofstarch; then
the man took him by the ear, led him to the gate
and gave him goo send off, and as he entered
the house he remarked

That tramp has had to walk stlA legged ever
since and when Maria came home and found what
had become of her starch she laughed about five
minutes, then looked mad and called him an old

many hopeful days in examining and searching

has frequently hired different attorneys of Canton

in attendance at the church. the rule declared that
those not present at q certain time should be lock-
ed out as q consequence, for a time, the attend
ance was prompt. On Wednesday evening of last
week, however the clock of Rev. Mr.. Bach, pastor,
must have gone wrong, or he may possibly have
fallen into doze at q late hour in the afternoon
but at all events, when he started for the church
to preside at the meeting the time for locking the
doors had passed; he never thought the congrega.

and when he arrived at the church he tried in

EXTRACTS from an unpublished poem.l
AT Lexington the other day,
Was seen gay and grand display,
To celebrate the opening fray
A hundred yeas ago!
From far and near came guests of note,
And shouted many patriot throat,
As old events and times were brought,
To memory's backward flow,
They talked old matters DER and DER,
Observed those famous spots of yore,
Remembered what they'd read before,
The thousands there on hand.
Imsginations active ways,
Ran back to those exciting days
When farmers rifles ready blaze
Protected well the land
From hill to hill the word had flown,
From home to home the thing was known,
And hearts responsive came to own,
And recognize "the times
That tried men souls when fortune frOwned
Or when the coward was patriot found
Through victory's inspiring sound,
And heart reviving chlmes
All, then were men that stood for right,
Who rallied in the desperate fight,
Or in the Senate stood with might,
Impressed with honest thought
Their lives and fortunet, honor too,
They promptly in the balance threw,
To conscience and their country true
Could not be drove nor bought
Alarm was spread that night abroad,
Soon hundreds were upon the road,
Their plainly garb and rife showedl
Their prompttude to do
Impending danger tries the man.
Whose soul abhors the tyrants plan,
Who risks what's left of lfes brief span

CANTON has few young men who
might readily have seven divils cast out
from them and still have Old Nick in their
minds bigger than brick yard. On last
Saturday evening two of these young
chaps met two female acquaintances,a and
af,er short chat, they started off, two
by two, for little walk. While going
down Tuscarawas street, one ofthe young
fellows proposed that they go to Bacon's
for ice cream, and as all parties were will
ling they went to that place, and one of
the boys opened the door and let the
girls pass in, when he slammed it shut
suddenly, and both ofthe wicked iokers
ran off as fast as they could, leaving their
companions in very embarrassing situa-
ton. The girls left the place slowly and
mournfully, resolving never again to place
any trust in boy.
