LoCHEvAR's RIDE oUTDoNE-0n last Saturday

that buggy ride would be just the thing for a
little recreation accordingly he procured a team
of horses and a carriage from livery stable and
in company with Mrs. Day, went out for drive

a regular thing they feel more like raising a

at least this team was. They were going along
West Tuscarawas street when one of these horses
took notion he was 0Ccident and the other at
the same moment thought he was running mate
and they started on a dash that made each par
ticular hair of their names stand on end and the
spinning wheels of the carriage quivered as they
flew along seeming as though they might be
splintered at any moment Mr.. Day tried to act
as near like Doble as he knew how bnt OCcdent
and mate didn't seem to be familiar with his
style of twisting the ribbons and instead of hold
ing in, they pulled out, and skinned along, and
sailed over the west creek bridge with reckless

time Mrs Days father and brother heard of the
affair, and jumping into their carriage, which
stood in front of the 0rera House, they sailed
westward, one pushing on the lines and yelling
and the other yelling and exercising his muscle

and ascended the hill, they beheld the other car

COUNCIL NOTES.-THE. Cobaugh suggested that
the Council go in body and try the merits of the
soup house.
There is some prospect now that compromise
will be effected in the street gas light matter, and
something may yetbe done.
Various estimates for lowering R. s. shields's
wall, ranged from s16O to $3.50 and the Council set
tied the claim by paying Mr.. Shields S225 in lieu of
all damages, he to lower his own wall.
Abe, who generally manages TO act as janitor,
tried to prop window up with sheet of paper,
but the old thing wouldn't work, and he gave it
up. Gone to hunt club,
The police smuggled the cover from the report
er's table, and have since been using it as towel
They generally take anything that suits them,
and say no more about it,
Mr.. Campbell thought that the upper room, Or
tramp department of the new lookup and station
house, should be plasered and the lower part
ceiled, as vermin were often found on tramps,
and some means should be taken to keep them
ON making raids on victims below in the
lookup.

Charlie Uphsm appeared as attorney for Mrs

few preliminary remarks and Mrs, Monahan then
broke out:
I'm goin' to get me monny off O dhet Missus

Dile owes it t me an she knows 1t too.
Mrs. Doyle, do you desire an attorney? asked the
Court

audibly, and she turned on him and yelled

Iy.er for me case.
b4irs. Doyle, you deny owing my client the

truth as he could, and accordingly rendered a
Judgment of 1920 in favor of the plaintiff at
which she was pleased while the defendant was
boiling with anger.

NEW TO HM,-A young man of Canton goes to
Greentown very frequently there's young lady
there who is the cause of it. He has been going
there for some time, and has continued to repre-
sent himself as a young lawyer of this town; he
isn't lawyer though, he's bricklayer. Of
course, between calls, the young lady has said
great deal to envous companions about her beau
her young lawyer, and all that. The last time he
went up she played a leap year joke on him and
took him to a literary meeting; there were de-
chalmers there and debaters and the latter were
shooting off their mouths" about the Geghan
bill, trying to prove that it was or that 1t wasn't
&c. Asamstter Of courtesy, the President turned
to our young fellow and said
Mr. Blank, as you are member of the legal
profession, your views on this question may prove
enlghteuing to us, and we shall be pleased to
hear them
His views were lightning to them; he slowly
arose, turned red, white and blue, spit on his
hands, ran his fingers through his hair, stared
blankly and yelled mort" and finally whiting
into seat he family remarked:
Excuse me-ah, but that question is entirely
new TO me.
Up about Greentown they think lawyer who
never heard of the Geghan bill had better read up
little.

CANTON has the best soup house on the road,
and We advise all the tramps to work their way
there Alliance soup is thin-yery thin, and is
not very well seasoned at that Go to Canton.-
Alliance Review.
There is plenty of city work here for tramps to
do, and they do it WELL too. Their labor has gone
great way toward completing our new city pris
on; their hands have welded hammers that have
broken large piles of stone and in the spring we
may have some sections OF well paved Streets
something needed worse in Alliance than in Can
ton; and all these tramps charge for their labor
is three meals of soup per day for each man. If
any of the suffering and emacated editors of Al
lance want good square meal, something that
will put little life and energy in their weak
frames, let them come here and earn their soup
for week or two.
