sumed the gubernatorial chair in Ohio,
he issued his proclamation appointing
Thanksgiving Day. To make sure of
being orthodox, the Governor composed
bis proclamation almos, entirely Of pas.

designate as quotations, presuming that
every one would recognize them, and
admit the fitness of the words as well
as his taste OF selection. The procls-
nation meeting the eye of Democrat
ic editor. he pounced at once upon it,
and declared that he had read il before
couldn't exactly say where-but he
would take bis oath that it was a down.
right plagiarism from beginning to end.
That wonld have been a pretty good.
fair joke; but the next day the Repub-
lican editor came out vsl,antly in de-
tense OF the Governor, pronouncine the
charge libellous. and challenged anv
man living to produce one single line Of
the proclamation that had appeared in
print.

died, said that one of the great plaques
of his life was To finl a salesman that
would be civil To poor people who wanted
few needles and some tape. To ladies'
that trade In satin, aud laces men would
be polite. But the same salesman wou d
mub a small buyer. II is the universal
complaint that officials are impertinent.
One can hardly get civil answer in
trade. One of our Car conductors came
up the other morning TO the Grand Cen
trail depot. His car was stopped two
blocks below. The train lett At twelve.
A dozen people were in the car who
wanted to take the noon train. Some OF
them were aged and decrepid. Instead
of announcing that his car would be de-
tanned ten minutes, he jumped of, bought
a paper and an apple, came into the car
and began to eat and read. When asked
IL the car was going TO move he simply
shouted, "If you want the twelve train
YOU had better be lively" All his load
lost that train through his dogged Incl.
