RAKIsH TRAMPs.-Several days ago aneedy and
seedy looking specimen Of the genus homo,
known as tramp, called at the residence Of John
R. Poyser, Poplar and Reynolds streets, and
asked for something to eat. Mrs. Poyser met him
benignly, but knowing one Of the general charac.
teristics of this sort of pedestrians told him he
should have good meal If he would rake the
garden to a certain extent which he agreed to
do and fulfilled his agreement. Mrs. Poyser fed
him to his full content, doing so the more freely
because he had earned it. The tramp then went
his way which finally brought him back 10 the
same premises on another erIand-not for some
thing to eat but to steal the rake which he did in
a sneakingly scientific manner. Some days after
two more tramps called at the same house In a
state of internal craving and Mrs. Poyser, kindly
forgetting and forgiving the first one, offered
these two the same conditions rendered the first
They accepted and she raked up another rake Of
her own, borrowed one from neighbor and set
the hungry roamers at short spell of work in
the garden, and after they had finished, gave
them q bounteous meal. They too, wandered
away after eating, and In the same spirit mani
tested by number one, returned shortly and stole
thetwo additional rakes Three rakes, three square
meals and three degrees of confidence in human
nature gone, and only about Is cents worth of
labor left as an equivalent, is the total summing
up of the case. Mrs. POyser should now engage
in systematic course of target practice with
shot gun, and when she becomes proficient in
Workmanship, buy dozen rakes and array
them about the yard in the most tempting posi-
tons possible.

aEN b REASONS WHY

you should buy your meat at Beard & Gotshalls,
Empire Block:
Flrst-Because both partners are practical and
experienced butchers, having been In the busi-
ness all their life time,
Second-Because they oversee, personally, all
that is done In connection with their business
Third-Because they employ none but expert
enced and reliable men.
Fourth-Because their facilities enable them to
give the people greater variety than any market
In the county
Flfth-Because in the last lve years they have
spared neither time, expense or labor, in making
complete arrangements to benefit their custo-
mers.
sixth--Because it is an advantage for consu
mers to buy meat where large amounts are sold
as they thus secure FRESH MEAT daily.
seventh-Because they deliver meat free Of
charge each morning to all parts Of the city, Or
ders left the day or evening before will be filed
to the letter.
Eighth Because all their different meats are
the very best as they have an experienced man
especially to select stock.
Ninth Because their meats are sold as cheap
as the same kinds Of meat can be bought any
place.

season, changed as the season advances:

BAsE.BALL.-There was game of baseball at
Sch@fers field last Saturday afternoon, between
the High School boys and the "Bummers" which
was won by the former, By agreement only five
innings were played, for fear the sheet of paper
wouldn't have sufficient surface area to contain
the score In the fourth inning Frank c. Meyer
left suddenly on account of thumb of his which
was broken in the engagement, 1t was his right
thumb, but the game went bravely on. As near
as we can get at the returns is, that the score
stood somewhere like 927 to 1000 for the H. s., and
about $50 to III for the B. gang. In such games
as this, we would suggest that competing nines
should furnish an umbrella, tub of lemonade
and bottle of smelling salts for the exclusive
use of the scorer and umpire, lest heil constltu-
tions give away under the terrible and constant
strain. One of orton's lightning Calculators
might also be Of service.

w. B. DEwEEss FALL.-Last Friday afternoon,
William B. Devices, proprietor of the Eagle Block
hat store, met with painful accident, which, for
time, threatened to endanger his life. The front
of his store is surrounded by an iron railing and
pickets which come to point Mr.. Devices had
laid boards from the railing to the window frame
on which he stood to wash his windows. While
thus engaged, the board on which the greater
part Of his weight was placed, turned with him,
and he fell in such manner that one of the iron
pickes entered the lower front part of one of his
shoulders, going clear through and coming out at
the top Of the shoulder producing painful and
dangerous wound. The picket struck the bone
in its course, which rendered the wound more
dangerous. He was promptly cared for, and we
are glad to state is now in condition quite ia
vorable to his early recovery

Henry Wilson has already begun to see that the
boarding and sale stable he started a short time
since on West Tenth street is thing that has been
needed in Canton. Hisstable is one hundred feet
long by thirty feet wide and has ample accommo-
dations for large number of horses. He intends
soon to secure several rstclass vehicles also and
will then go into the livery business to limited
extent as he has several fine. horses Of his own
which he expects to use for that purpose. There
is no doubt that the venture will ultimately prove
q successful one,
