THAT CUT OFF.
Another Good Suggestion Re-
garding an Old Time Topic,
The Lake Shore Cut Off.

That "Lake Shore cut off," so fire.
quently talked about, is feasible
project, and, sooner or later, the road
must be built.
At this stage of the proceedings,
the NeVs ventures to suggest q
scheme, which. if carried out, would
help along the enterprise and greatly
benefit all concerned. The PROPOSE
ton is briefly this: Let the 'cut Off
start in at Bryan, Ohio, and run east
through Napoleon and Bowling
Green to Fremont. From this point
the Lake Shore might operate or
parallel the Lake Erie " Western to
Sandusky. Such On arrangement
would give both the Northern and
the southern divisions of the Lake
Shore q direct and continuous outlet
over the proposed ''cut off, thereby
greatly reducing its mileage between
New York and Chicago.
This bit of new road would also
traverse some of the richest oil fields
and one of the finest farming sections
of the state. In the short distance
covered, the road would intercept
four thriving county seats. The
larger portion of the district referred
to has no eastern and western outlet.
Local business, and plenty of it,
therefore, awaits the completion of
the Lake Shore cut off.
The absorption of the Lake Erie &
| Western between Fremont and San
dusky ought to be an easy matter.
The Sandusky end of the line has al
ways been poor paying property, and
the stockholders, doubtless, would
be glad to have somebody take it off
their hands. With this end of the
road under control of the Lake
Shore, the latter could, if desired,
make q still further cut in the length
of its trunk line, by building short
| link between Castala and Huron.

A careful examination of the trees
that are struck by lightning shows
that over half of them are white pop
lar. From this fact scientists con
clude that the poplar has some
value as a conductor of lightning,
says a scientific exchange. This be
ing the case, agriculturists are advis-
ed to plant these trees in the vicinity
of their farm buildings. An addition
al suggestion is the attaching of light
ming rods to two or three of the tall
est of these trees. This will it is stat
ed, almost absolutely insure neigh
boring buildings against being struck
and destroyed by electric storms.

you may ia Ike it to be only an
other of Saur & Balsley's ad-
vertisements and not give it a
fair reading, But you read
much stuff that is more worth
less than any Of these adver-
tisements, and whatever you
read is worth reading only to
the extent it may benefit you.
Now we have a few plain
statements to make in refer
ence to Saur & .Balsley's Drug
and Book House and its con-
tents, and if you will read it
through we know that it will
not be the last time and that
it will benefit you very much.
Now where in this section
of the state is there town
the size of Napoleon which
contains a larger or better
drug and book store. Every
thing in the drug and book
line is kept and can be pro-
cured at all hours. We have
or can procure any book that
is published and at bottom
prices.
The wall paper department
we want to call especial at
tention to-we have a complete
stock and the very best pat
terms. Window shades, pat
ent fixtures, etc., always on
hand and in endless variety
and quality.
Paints, oils and varnishes
we take an unusual interest in.
We select only the best and can
positively recommend every
thing in this line to purchas-
ers, and not only recommend
but guarantee it. Then there
are brushes We have any
kind you can call for and at
surprising prices.
In the line of medicines we
have only the best and most
reliable cough remedies, blood
purifiers, pills, tonics, cordials,
etc. Best perfumes always on
hand.
Now we do not wish to be
partial or to dictate to any
one, but when you are in
need of any goods do not stop
at one house, but get prices
from several houses and then
you will have an opportunity
Of seeing who will sell you the
best goods for the least money,
and never pass Saur & Balls
ley's drug and book store
without calling in and seeing
what you can do there. Many
a dollar has the farmer saved
in this way and in trading at
this house. We do not say
this from experience alone,
but it is what hundreds of
others say.
A complete line Of school
books, copy books and all
school supplies are constantly
on hand, at the same low
prices as in other departments.

SUCCESS IS EASILY ATTAINED.
If the Means in Hand are only
Made Effective.

'The appearance is, that only a
comparatively small number of peo-
pie ever made quite realize what an
easy thing success would be if only
they made effective by the means to
it which they have already in hand,' -
writes Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D.
D., in an article on 'The Young Man
on the Fence, in the December Lad
les Home journal. differences
among people in respect to efficiency
are far less an affair ofresources than
they are matter of getting those re-
sources trained upon. particular
point, and of getting that point so
close to the eye and heart that it shall
be able to draw those energies along
convergent lines, like a sun-glass
that will convert ordinary temperat-
ure into heat by contracting solar
lines to focus. It is worth a whole
fortune to get stirred up, to get all
the energies of ones being drawn out
in warm intensity upon single OBJ
ject. A good deal of success of even
a man like St. Paul is due to that
posture of mind and of life which he
expressed when he said, "This one
thing I do" He was wholly drawn
in under the power of single pur-
pose. He was aglow with that pur--
pose. Every thing within him was
combustible material, which he laid
upon the cracking bonfire for that
purpose. Success was, therefore,
easy to him.
