little one-hone local roads have got her com

paper men talk, one would think that she was

trunk lines but not word Of boasling comes
from her. Canton is not 90 very much ahead Of
some Of her sister cities, such as Mansfield and
Akron, in enterprise. 1t Is more "blow" and

Two little onehorse roads, indeed ono Of
these little one'horse roads will In few months

other has opened to Cleveland coal fields equal

The latter, by the way, has built Its entire line
without asking for single cent Of contribution
from the cities along It's route, and is Just COM

the club and vote the Republican ticket under
the promise, II Garfield was elected, laborers
would be greatly benefited. Capes, caps and
torches were furnished-by somebody. OF course
the question was not asked whe furnished them,

have been cut DOWN they are certain and that
is that 1t was not to benefit the labOrers Some

know 1t is themselves, But they don't exactly
know who fooled them, but they guess and con

five lonely, disguised 329 els, with lighted torches

Why make such fuss about a 20, 80 or so per
cent reduction In your wages2 Didn't those
caps, capes, and torches cost somebody some
money Didn't the music to which you tramped
through the muddy streets cost somebody some

all that" Did they2 Oh, didn't know. Well
suppose they did, where did they get the money!

that MIR Mattlln had been to some social sr literary

Brooks's house The sleigh was upset and Mattlln

As to having his legs amputaed the fact that he is
