mented mentally, then watched to
see how matters stood with the girl.
Either, however, she was too we'll
bred to show her feelings or she had
none to show. Truman rather
thought it was the latter, for it was
not conceivable that a woman could
admire a short, thick, heavy fellow,
both by nature and by form, like the
first lieutenant. Once Truman caught
the girls fine eyes fixed on him, but
she didn't seem to care that he had
surprised her noncommittal gaze,
which might have been of pity, of
wonder, of dislike or of indifference
for all its expression told.

TIN PLATE MILL AT SALEM.

A tin plate mill company wants Salem
to give it bonus of $50, 900 and eight
acres of valuable land, for locating in
that city. The board of trade thought
the cash part little too high, so the
company is willing TO take $40, 900.
The cost of the plant as proposed by the
company is $50, 600 and ESQ men will be
employed. After going over the ground
the people of Salem thought that S25, 900
and eight aces would be u big enough
bonus and accordingly offered this
amount.
The willingness of men to enter into
tin plate business is rather amusing in the
light of the republican cry of year ago
that the democratic tariff legislation
would ruin the business in the United
States Instead of running it the business
is bigger today than ever.

interesting study. Her name is Mrs. S.

This city is headquarters for dramatic
culture and at the head of the public read
crs stands Mrs Florence Erwin Rice.
Away back twenty years ago, up on the
farm where she was born, just across the
line in Portage county, when she was n
little flaxen haired, delicate looking maid
en-, with nothing to do but sit under the
big pine trees surrounding the old home
stead and cat sweet apples, she cyinced
an interest in clocution. Before she was
fifteen she was one of the leading speak
ers at the country literary entertainments,
of this literary neighborhood which was
known to neighboring districts as Goose
Heaven"
After coming to Canton she graduated
when very young and went to Buchtel
college. Then she entered the national
school of Oratory at Philadelphia and
won the gold medal at the end of the year
as the best graduate in the school.
She taught some here, gave few enter
tainments then took special dramatic
training in Chicago and went upon the
stage as second lady to Robert Downing.
She achieved marked distinction in
two years and retired to domestic life and
has now become the wife, Of the mayor, of
the city.
Mrs. Rice is one of the most
attractive and magnetic women in
the country. She is intelligent
far beyond the average, is n great reader
of standard literature, and is deeply inter
ested in the new sciences dealing with
questions of religion, morals, society and
life in general. She doesn't like house
work. Sho knows how it ought to be
done and will see that some one else does
1t but as far as for herself she would
rather wiold brush and dabblc in oils or
read, or take trip to the sea-shorc than
stand over dishpan and clean the table

Sitting in n road cart, to which was at
tachcd sprightly sorrel pony, might
have been seen, one day this week, Il
woman, whom every lady in town has
probably seen and interviewed at some
time in her life. 1t was Mrs. A. r. De-
muth and she was being ierkcd along up
North Market street on her way to dinner
with the pony on the jump. The wagon
wheels ratified, the pony stretched himself
out in dead earnest and made things fly,
but Mrs Demuth sat upright, rs uncon-
cCrncd as statue. Whether the pony
ran, walked trottcd or paced, it was all
one to her, so she got there and got there
quick.
Mrs. Dcmuth is all business Every
morning she drives to her store, every
noon to dinner and every afternoon back
again to work. Said lady who knows
her well: ''Shc is the best business
woman in town"
Mrs. Dcmuth is tall, dark complcction-
ed and has what phrcnOlogists call the
motive temperament prCdOminating.
She has n strong individuality, Is bright
and facnating in her manner of converSa-
tion and as shrcwd in business as the

Canton has the best kind of women
and the best women Of the kind, and one
of the best women Of the best kind is Mrs
Kate Brownlcc Sherwood. A daughter Of
judge Brownlcc of Youngstown, she has
from childhood been surrounded by in
huGnccs calculated to develop true culture
Mrs Sherwood is today prominently the
leader of the literary women of Canton.
Her contributions to journalism date back
for many years and few women in the
land who have not made writing a dis
tinct profession have achieved greater
honors with their pens. Mrs Sherwood is
a great reader, is well posted on ancient
and modern literature and knows more
about every day business and political
matters than the majority Of our most
astute business and political men. But
while she has achieved renown in public,
yet she Is not helpless i'm the home She
can construct an Omlct or turn pan cake
just as well as she can write poem. As
u woman Mrs. Sherwood is digniflcd,
business-like, logical and Cmincntly just
in her thoughts and actions. There is
nothing frivolous or CtfusivC about her
She can be sarcastic if she wishes and in
matters of principle she has been known
to use it with good effect. She is what is
known as very progressive woman.
Although deeply Interested in her home
and kind and gentle and womanly i'm her
life yet she believes that these estimable
traits of wOman'S character should play a
part in the public affairs of this world as
well as at the frcsidc and to this end she
labors.
