ers: The extract is taken literally

to be paid out of the county treas
ury said bid to be left discretionary

Big Jack Dolan pulled out of Omaha the

THE HISTORIAN OF OHIO.
Despite Hit Years, He Is Still Bright
and Vigorous Man.

Patriotic citizens of Ohio are congTatu-
lating themselves over the completion of a
history of their state, which in its method,
arrangement and conditions of authorship
is one of the most noteworthy books ever
issued
Its author, Henry Howe, was born in
New Haven, Oct Il, 1916. The son of the
first publisher of Webster's Dictionary,
and bred in an atmosphere of books under
the shadow of Yale college, it was but nat
ural he should take to authorship and
publishing. His first work was Memoirs
of Eminent Mechanics" issued by the Har-
pers in 1889. In 1910 he travelled over the
state of New York in association with John
W. Barber, making drawings and collect
ing material for an historical work on that
state, which was issued in 1S41. Two years
later was issued by them Historical Col
lections of New Jersey"
In 1884 Mr.. Howe singIy made tour
over Virginia, largely pedestrian, and in
I845 published Historical Collections Of
Virginia" These state works-New York,
New Jersey and Virginia-are scarce and
out of print The term "old gold" has
been applied to them by admirers as books
thumbed in youth which they in vain at
tempt to find in old age.
In 1916 Mr. Howe went out over the
mountains to Ohio, passing successfully
through every county in it on the back of
an old, slow going horse, named, in irony,
Pomp. Much of the state was then will
derness. He made drawings of the his
torical points and county seats, talked with
the pioneers and eminent men of the COM.
mo1rwealth and gathered it's history from
those who laid the foundations.
In 1S47 he published the Historical Col
lections of Ohio" work of 600 pages, with
III engravings from his pencil sketches.
1t was immensely popular and had great
er sale than any state work even TO this
day issued. On its publication he settled
in Cincinnati, where for some thirty years
he has resided, engaged in writing and
publishing books, mainly historical, which
were sold by subscription all over the coun-
try.
In 1877 he returned to New Haven, and
after some literary ventures there, in the
fall of 1885, on entering his SEVENTEEN year,
again went to Ohio to make second tour
of the state for new edition of his work
This, after about six years of close appli-
cation, he accomplished by its issue in
three large volumes.
The new work contains all of the old; In
it are the portraits and histories of Ohio's
eminent characters for the last hundred

The School Girl Speaks.

A crowded car; a pretty girl dressed in
fresh summer stuff, and this is what she
said in the hearing of all: ''It must have
been perfectly lovely; 1 should so like to
have gone, and might have went as we'll
as not If had only saw Jack" What is
the explanationi Is it that the schools do
not teach the young to use correct English,
or that there is dark Detroit not reached
by educationf To have this smiling young
girl open her mouth and crop out such
toads and lizards of verbiage is shocking
