CHASING LIGHTNING.-A large number Ofpeople
at the p, Ft. w. C. Ry. depot were greatly amused
on Monday evening, as train No. 8 came in and
went from town. An antiquated French lady,
with more aniquated carpet sack, had bought a
ticket from Alliance to Massillon, and mstaking
this station for her point of destination she got off
of the car, and didn't ascertain her mistake till
the train was moving out from the depot. Then
suddenly comprehending the situation, she rushed
after the train, swinging her carpet sack, and mo-
tioning to some passengers on the rear platform to
come back, while in turn they yelled and mo-
toned for her to come on faster. After she had
chased the flying train as far as the Cherry street
crossing, she gave it sadly up and returned to the
depot, whence she afterward secured special pas
sage on freight cabOOse.

NIGHTMARE.-The probability is that the boy
was dreaming the happy hours away and in the
imaginngs of Morpheus his mind Strayed from
thoughts of alabaster halls and perfumed lamps,
to burglars, masked and horrid burglars, with
chokers and chlorotorm. This boy is not exactly
ecru he's black, that is of African descent; he
lives with Henry Geeting, on West Tuscarawas
street, near Poplar, and after midnight last Satur
day he aroused large majority of the sleepers in
the second ward by rushing to windows and yell.

ore past Mr. Rex had been spending his time
between Wooster and Canton his son, Judge Rex,
of the Supreme Court, and Mr.. and Mrs. Nc.
sweeney, the latter daughter being residents Of
wooster some weeks ago he was taken i'll at his
daughters, the trouble being with the lungs, shot
ness ol breath and difficulty of breathing atllctng
him severely Ofcourse all that affection could
DO was done for thesulierer. Dropsy of the lower
extremlies also set in and added to his suterings
jacob Rex at his death, lacked a few months Of
beings years old, having been born in Adams
county, pennsylvania September %, 1874 He re-
moved thence in 1915, and settled In Canton upon
the very property where he spent his life and
raised his family, and where now his son, John p
kex, lives, and where two of the aters sons carry
on business. Father" Rex, as he was familiarly
called, carried on the tailor business and worked
at 1t from choice till quite recently. Though a
man slender, and to all appearances feeble his
life was heightened to more than the usual span
and In the enjoyment generally of uniform good
heallh thanks to his strict temperance in diet and
regularity In all his habits. He was the most ex-
emplary' even'tempered man we ever knew. His
equanimity of disposition was never, so far as we
are aware, known to be disturbed; and yet he
had sympathizing heart "open as day to melting
charity" He was raised in and became mem.
Der OF the German Lutheran Church, but in early
ilfe' when the Methodist Episcopal Church began
to make progress in Canton, Mr. Rex became a de.
voted and earnest member; and faithfully con-
tnued so to the end. No one ever heard Father"
keX speak harShly of any one. In fact he was
the model Christian, as well as the model man
and citizen. He richly enjoyed his church, and
all its offices, arrangements and requirements
Well may 1t be said of him "his life was gentleo
and useful, His influence upon society and upon
all with whom he came in contact was by kindly,
gentle words and by modest example. The alb
sence of Father" Rex from the church and the
prayer meeting will long be felt. The remains
were brought to Canton for interment, and the
funeral took place on Saturday last, and was
largely attended. Peace to his ashes, for in Jacob
Rex good man goes to his rest

What's the good of encouraging any beautiful
and poetic expressions nowadays2 A Poplar
street girl rushed into the house The other day,
her blooming and fair young face wreathed in
smiles and flushed with health, and as she glided
in she sang:
Pm TO be queen of the Nay, mother, I'm to be
queen of the May" And the practical mamma
looked up from the cooking stove for about three
seconds, and sweetly responded:
You're to be queen the May, are you? You're
to get that ironin' done before three o'clock, or
I'll rip your back hair all out o shape. Dye hear
that?' And the beautiful queen of the May did
that ironing before three o'clock.
