of their cherry trees. There are several
hundred of these land owners and they
are among the most thrifty in Ohio, For
years they have taken great pride in
maintaining the highways which pass
their farms and have lined them with
sweet cherry trees, upon which fruit of n
famous quality is raised and from this
custom have been known as the CHERRY
planters" Of.late years, however, many
little towns have gown up around them
and the inhabitants thereof in brazen dis
regard of the law and commandment
have fallen into the way Of stealing the
crops and tramping down the fields ad-
joining. The nuisance has now become
intolerable, and the tree ownes are pro-
tecting themselves by saving them down
and thus destroying the beauty that made
drives through their lands delightful TO
all.

"I saw q rather curious thing on West
Tuscarawas street not very long ago, said
q citizen yesterday. 1.-TWO women We're
walking toward me in front of the Cen
tral Savings bank building. Suddenly
one of the women saw roll of bills ly-
ing in front of her and picked them up
without stopping not even saying word
TO her companion. She had her pocket
book in her hand and when favorable
opportunity came the bills were stuffed
into it, Now l consider that to be rather
mean trick "
Work has been commenced upon the
grading of the Leininger hill in front of
the Zeb Davis mansion on North Market
street. All of the ground along the street
for thirty feet back must come off and an
ingenious scheme has been hit upon TO do
away with shoveling. A tunnel has been
constructed of plank in the side of the
hill running back some dozen feet or
more and on the top Is left hole with a
chute running down. The top of this
tunnel Is below a large portion of the
dirt that must be removed. Wagons are
backed into the tunnel and then half
dozen men with teams and scrapers drag
the dirt over this hole in the top OF
course when the ground comes to the hole
it drops down into the wagon. In this
manner dozen loads can be secured in
less time than one could be loaded by as
many men as could get around to shovel.

The strawberry has been very late in
its arrival this year. but now that it is
here, everyone is trying to discover some
new and inviting way to serve this lus.
cious fruit. At recent dinner the ber-
ries were served on individual silver fruit
saucers and covered with leaves, which
were removed by the waitress when the
cream was served. The combination of
acids and silver, however, is not one that
finds general favor, and Cut-glass or por.
celain plates are referred by most people.
Leaves of all kinds are used in the decora-
ton of the fruit. Artificial ones are used
by some persons, who think they look
well and are easily taken care of. Be
gonia, pond lily or ivy leaves are orna-
mental. Almost any natural leaf is used.
When the berries are very small they are
laid upon a large grape leaf, but otherwise
the leaves are placed over and in the
midst of the fruit.

A bachelor about town who is quit well
known in society circles called on one OF
his married friends the other day. He
felt in duty bound to pay some attention
to the child and as most men do tried to
make the little fellow laugh. Instead Of
smile the child burst out crying. Here
was quandery, to be sure. He didn't
dare to pick the boy up and soothe him.
His attempts in the verbal line were dis
nal failures. What should he doY Finally

crying youngster and the crying young

he was making "Cry louder P" said he
The child obeyed "Louder yet" urged
the bachelor. A yell went up that would
have done credit to an Indian. "Cry
louder STILL" insisted the man, and the
boy did his best to obey "Louder"
fairly howled the bachelor. 81 won't, "

mouth with a click and was quiet for the
next "a hours.
