HEAVY YoUNesTER AT DINNER.

Last winter sat opposite one of those heavy
youngsters at dinner Of sixteen plates. He
took rather a vivacious young married wo-
man in and sat beside her, with his smooth
and complacont face held high in the air, his
eyes half closed and the corners Of his mouth

while man across the table talks to the vi

with the gossip, chatter and lights. She turns
twice and looks at the solemn face beside her.
Then, evidently thinking she has been stupid,
she says, with bright little smile:
"Of course you're going down to Jerome on

Operating In the City who Claims to be a
......... MassillOnian.
A man claiming to be resident of
MassillOn and signing his name George
Billy has been in the city for the past
week canvRssing for story paper, for
which he claims to be the agent. The
subscription for the paper Is one dollar,
to be paid In advance, and receipt
given. As an inducement to obtain sub
scribers he offers to give nine fine large
sized pictures, already framed, which,
according to an expert, would be worth
from $12 to $15. ,,---- .g...,
This swindler has been brOughs to bay
by one of our local picture dealers and
made to acknowledge that he would
never deliver either the paper or the
pictures and that his operations were
for the purpose of defrauding those who
paid him cash.
It is said that many have subscribed,
both rich and poor, all for the purpose
of getting large return at small cost.
People should beware Of giving their
hard earned cash to strangers unless
they get something tsL glib In return.

WOOSTER. O., November 23-A Canton
firm has caused garnishment of 1921 81
due from the city of Wooster for elec-
trio light furnished the city during the
past month. The defendants In the
garnishment are the Schuyler Electric
Light Company, Of Hartford, Conn.,, who
put in the Wooster plant. but who, 1t is
claimed, disposed of 1t 10 q company
composed Of Wooster gentlemen. The
Wooster company claim the garnish-
ment Is Illegal, inasmuch as the defend
ants in the garnishment, the Hartford
company. have nothing to do with the
plant In Wooster; but the City Solicitor
and City Council have notified the City
Clerk not to issue an order for the
1921 81, although 1t has been ordered
paid by City Council, until the matter
assumes more tangible shape. In the
meantime the Wooster company demand
the money, although heretofore en-
pl0yes Of the Hartford company have
been drawing the pay from the city.
Some months ago the plant was attached
by the Sheriff In favor of the Buckeye

THE LIST OF CARICATURlSTs.
All at Work Upon Papers Except Mat
Morgan, Who is Painting Panoramas.

All at Work Upon Papers Except Matt
Morgan, Who is Painting PanOramas.
Said W. j. Arkell, of The Judge, in con-
versation the other day: ~ do not care how
many new caricature sheets are started. It
is one thing to start such papers and quite an
other to the get necessary brains to run them
There is not single good caricaturist in this
country that is mengaged to-day. The only
good caricaturist who is not at work upon any
paper is Matt. Morgan, who is drawing a
salary of S15, 900 for painting war scenes for
panoramic shows. The artists who have de-
monstrated their ability in this line are all
under engagements at the present time. II
there is any good artist anywhere he can get
employment at good figures bv applying at
once either to Mr.. Keppler or to myself.n
Looking over the list of caricaturists, I
find that Mr. Arkell's statement is strictly
accurate. OF the men who have won wide
reputation in this field Thomas Mast is tied
up with the Harpers; Keppler and Schwass-
man are partners in Puck; S::llam, ZimmagN
man and Hamilton have an interest in the
profits of The Judge, and Baron De Grimm,
who draws the Frenchy cartoons for The
Evening Telegram, 1 am told gets $4,000
year from Mr. Bennett for that work.
French artists in this line are said to be az
trennely quick to catch the idea In every
field except politics As the political cartoon
Is the great feature in the United States, few
French artists have been successful in their
ventures here. Mr.. Keppler some time ago
brought two artists from Paris to work ON
Puck. Both proved failures, and that has
been the result of the attempts Of many other
Frenchmen who bring their pencils to bear
on American subjects.-Cor. New York Trl-
