BY The WAY

The boys are all giving gerTIal Gust
Pufney the laugh on account of his arrest
for violating the game laws. About two
years ago Gust secured n couple Of live
quail, and made pets out Of the birds.
They were so tame that they would follow
him around the yard. Gust does not core
so much for the fine that he was obliged
to pay, but hates to give up his pets. He
also objects to the manner In which he
was caught, claiming that during his
absence deputy game warden came to
his residence. and asked to supply the
winter coal. 1t is safe to say there Is one
house in Canton where that man can't
sell any coal. -
"Where is the corporation line9" asked
Mayor Rice the other day as he was driv-
ing out the Louisville road with party
of fiiends. When informed just where
the city limits ended, he remarked that
he had done some electioneering in Plain
township. When the members of the
party commenced to give him the laugh
the mayor explained that he had not lost
anytime, as the parties resided inside the
city limits even If they worked outside.

The o. N. 6. companies of Canton
have mandamused the county commits
sioners for the building of an armory
Jack Fluke says the commissioners have
probably been godamused several times
in the past, but that this is the first time
they have ever been mandamused. ALI
ance Review.
The name Of Mr.. George u. Marvin, as
editor, has been taken down from the
masthead of the " Record" The mean
ing of this move is causing some COM
ment, as Mr.. Marvin is a very popular
gentleman. An employe of that paper Is
authority for the statement that the cause
of republicanism was to be dropped, and
the paper become Independent and non
partisan.

There is young man named Smith
who recently came to Canton, and he
imagines he is great bail player. The
members of the Wackerly's have been
having lots of fun with the stranger.
They have had him practicing sliding to
bases, in back alley, and the other day
sent him after some strap oil. The young
man went and returned sadder, but
wiser. On Tuesday, Smith was intro
duced to young man, who claimed to be
Il
looking for players. Smith signed con-
tract, and was ordered to report to Ray
Markle, at Massillon, who would furnish
him ticket to Chicago. Now, Ray en-
| joys good joke, and led the fellow a
merry chase around Massillon, sending
him back to Canton to find the agent
here. The boys have given Smith base
ball suit, and he can be seen almost any
day getting in condition to play short stop
for Chicago. When Smith learns the
truth, he will probably conclude he is a
better farmer than ball-player.

The boys are having lots of fun with
Charles r. Frazer about his pet lamb. j.
G. Stanton, the real estate man, has been
teasing MIR. Frazer about the lamb, and
says the ex-newspaper man claims the
lamb is six weeks old, drinks a pint of
milk a day, and weighs forty pounds. 1t
is proposed to lead the lamb down town
behind the Grand Army band, and settle
the dispute as to its weight. Mr. Frazer
says the lamb is pet and he don't pro-
pose to have it frightened to death by any
brass band. ssxaI
Canton leads in many things, and now
1t Is going to have the finest sample room
in the state. John A. Brobst is putting
in bar fixtures that cost $4,000, and he
says there will be nothing in Ohio that
can hold a candle to his new place when it
is finished.

There are q number of citizens who
would like to see Linden avenue opened
up to the full width from the Fulton
road to the cemetery. Among those in
terested in the project is william Danne-
miller, and 1t is probable council will be
asked to take some action in the matter
