We met Alderman Stone Monday
evening. He was all excitement over
a startling encounter he had gone
through just at dusk. He had been to
the Junction on an errand, and on mis-
return home stopped at the stone
bridge that spans the Crangle creek
across Montgomery street. Now this
bridge is fine affair, one of Alderman
Stones own conceptions and construct
ed during bis official regime. As he
stood there at twilight, admiring this
substantial public improvement and
marveling at the torrents of the "bab-
bling brook" beneath, his mind no
doubt turned to the sublimity of nature
and the powers Of man, when sudden
ly he was awakened from his reverie
by the realization that he was in the
presence of some wild and savage ami
NAL, who was heading towards him at
a rapid pace and with snarling, open
mouth. The alderman saw that he
must act promptly and with courage.
Luckily be had in his possession an
nmbrella-a handsome, new one. With
this as a weapon of defense the fight
was begun, the umbrella being landed
heavily upon the attacking animal.
This served to more thoroughly en-
rage it and the onslaught was renewed
with vim. In the general melee which
followed the frail umbrella did not last
long, but Alderman Stones feet finally
proved too much for his assailant, who
disappeared in the darkness. Above
little excitement and smashed um-
brella no damage was done, but Mr..
Stone has been wondering ever since
what sort of animals infest that por-
ton of the city. By the way, Third
warders will have to look long way
before finding more level-headed
representative in the council than Mr..
Stone.

WOODARD-JOHNSON

a matrimonial event of more than
ordinary interest here will be observed
at O'Clock this afternoon in Chicago,
when Frank E. Woodland. of this city,
and Miss Sara I. Johnson, of Chicago,
will become man and wife. The cere-
mony is to occur at the residence of the
groom's cousins, DR.. and Mrs. G. g..
Fellows, 1912 Lake avenue, and will be
private. The officiating clergyman will
be Rev. j. M. Campbell, the old pastor
of the Congregational church here, now
of Lombard, ILL., Mr.. and Mrs. Wood
ard will depart after the ceremony on
a short wedding tour, and are expecte d
home in about week.
1t is scarcely necessary for US to COM
ment on the parties to this most auspi-
cious union. The groom is generally
known as one of our prominent citizens
"a person interested in every phase
of the city's welfare. He is secretary
and treasurer of the Woodland q Stone
company and possesses business abIli-
ty of the highest order. No encomi-
ums that we might offer could add to
his standing in the community or to
his sterling worth as citizen and
friend. His bride, we understand, is a
young lady highly esteemed by her
acquaintances, and one who will be
gladly welcomed as most desirable
addition to Watertown's social circles.
She has for several years made her
home in Chicago, her mother residing
in Belfast, Ireland. Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodland certainly have the felicitous
wishes of al over their new relations
in life.

history they We're great seafarng peo-
pie and established for the Grecian race

They have been in some sort of

were fighting among themselves. BY
hard fighting the Cretans managed 10
keep independent of the various Mace

Finally the Romans struck them. but
IL was three years of war before the
island was subdued.
In 823 the island fell into the hands
of the Saracens and became nest Of

How One Man Makes a Living by Buying
Canadian Money.

Canadian Money.
All through that part of the country
(northern Ohio) there is discount of 20
cents Oh every Canadian dollar OF
course Canadian money is not as much
in circulation as is the legal tender of
the United States, but there was enough
for his purpose. A man advertised in all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 80
cents ON the dollar. 1t was some time
before he had any results from this adj
vertising. 1t was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight and
offered to give away sovereigns. People
laughed at him. The farmers were shy.
They thought it was svindling game
of some kind and left him severely
alone. One day man came III with $40
Canadian money. 1t was Of all shapes
and sizes from the cent piece that
looks like dime TO q dollar bill drawn
ON the Bank of Montreal. If he had
spent it, he could have secured IS worth
OF goods for it. My man gave him nine
big silver dollars in United States mon
ey for it. Before the week was out he
had exchanged United States dollars for
$3.50 worth of Canadian money. This
would give him profit of $25 wherever
Canada money is as good as our own.
From that time on the business grad
ually increased, until today he averages
about $3.50 week. Instead OF having
the farmers come to him he goes to
them and buys their accumulated saw
ings of Canada coin. They are all his
customers and know him we'll in the five
years they have done business together.
"Are you not afraid Of competition III
your business in case it becomes gener-
ally knowni' / asked. mo-" said he,

though his daring feat at Niagara was
the one with which his name was al
ways associated in this country it was

spired more political cartoons i'll this

gave very pointed answer to deputa-

of pointing out the shortcomings of his
administration when he said:
Gentlemen, suppose all the property

had to put it into the hands of Blondin
