OUR Ohio exchanges are full of en-
couragement over the situation, brim
full. Sherman's speeches and Nc
Kinley's and Foraker's have created
an enthusiasm throughout the state,
scarcely second to that of last year
during the national campaign. Very
much depends on Hamilton county,
and the republicans are very hopeful
there. In Mercer and Huron and
Champaign and Portage and Monroe
and Clinton county the returns indi-
cate very full registration and an
earnest intention to get every repub-
lican voter to the polls. Governor
Foraker is again out and attending to
business and feels confident of the re-
suit.

A Good Way to Buy Sponges.

"Say, how much is this sponge?"
called a man in Perry's drug store
yesterday to one of the clerks, at the
same time holding up a good-sized
sponge which he had picked out of a
baskettul. The clerk was behind the
counter busying himself with some.
thing, and he surveyed the sponge
critically from a distance and then
answered:
"Seventy-fve cents"
The man dived in the basket again
and pretty soon held up a smaller
sponge for the clerk to see
"How much is this one?" he asked.
ooh, 80 CENTS" said the clerk.
Again the man ished around in the
basket. In a few moments he held up
a sponge smaller than either of the
others.
"How much for this one?" he in
quired.
"You can have that one for As
CENTS" said the clerk, as he sized it
up.
Then there was q roar of laughter
from the would be sponge purchaser
and two men who had been watching
him. The clerk looked mystifed fol
a moment. Then he discovered what
they were laughing at The man
had been holding up the same sponge
each time. By squeezing it he had
diminished it's size. If he had had
enough strength in his hand and
could have kept his face straight he
would have run the price of that
sponge down to Is cents before the
clerk saw through the game.-New
York Evening Sun.

4 Stupid Bigamist.

4 Stupid Bigamist.
"Stupidity'' was admitted in one
of the Berlin law courts as an ex.
tenuating circumstance in a case OF
bigamy. The defendant, q Pole, had
married some years ago a native OF
his own village, who had borne him
four children. The greater part O
the year he was absent from home,
like many Polish workmen, working
elsewhere. In the winter when he was
at home, his better half mingled with
her caresses bitter reproaches because
he did not earn SO much az his COM
rades.. As this kind of welcome re-
peated itself every year, the little
reason that he is now judged to pos
sess suggested to him that it was
more prudent to quit his home for
over. He came to Berlin, and here
also his want OF common sense made
him yield to the temptation to get
married again. When summoned be-
fore the court the Judge duly ex-
planned to him the enormity of the
crime of bigamy, reminding him that
we were not living in Turkey. His
legal and geographical knowledge
could not bring the matter home to
him, and he excused himself on
the ground that, as he had not seen
his wife for four years, he did not
consider there was any harm in
marrying a second time. The public
prosecutor asked that the defendant
should be sentenced to two years.
imprisonment with hard labor, but
the judge wisely took q lenient view
of the case, announcing that the
boundless stupidity Of the prisoner
was an extenuating circumstance.
and therefore he would only sentence
him to imprisonment for one year
and a half.-London Telegraph.
