Absent Minded.

Charles Townsend used every morn
ing as he came from his mothers to
the treasury to pass by the canal in the
park and feed the ducks with bread or

the purpose. One morning, having
called his affectionate friends, the
ducks, he found, unfortunately that he
had forgotten his usual offertory

I am in a hurry and cannot get you
any bread; but here is sixpence to buy
some with" and threw the ducks a six

At the joint Republican caucus held
Tuesday night Assemblyman Waymire

would support Senator Perkins for re-
election TO the United States Senate.

so at the proper time.
Judge Waymire is also alleged to
have made a speech before the caucus.

KEEP OFF THE WALKS.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-I have felt some
regret at the passage OF an ordinance
abolishing the use OF cycles on the
sidewalks OF Perrysburg, as it has been
pleasant to me to see the rapid transit
of the young ladies on their way TO
and from school, as we'll as their speedy
trips to the store on matters of busi-
ness. In these matters the value OF
time and of promptitude in the transac-
tion Of business OF all kinds is meri-
torious. While saying this much re-
garding the use of the cycle on the
sidewalk, it is proper to say that the
ordinance abolishiHg Its use in the
manner named was eminently right
and proper, as there was ever danger
lurking In its often very rapid, and
close passing to those walking on the
sidewalk.
In the city of Chicago an old man
returning from his work was run down
by lady cyclist and her male COM
panion, and received injuries from
which he died: the parties who occa-
stoned his death were arrested. In
the city of Brooklyn another instance OF
dsath arising from collision with a
cycle, has been reported, and the cy-
clist has been arrested. In the city of
Rochester an old lady of 80 years was
run down by cycllst OF her own sex
and had her shoulder dislocatei. A
suit for damages to the exteut OF 81 600
Is now resting against the Corporation
OF the city of Rochester.
In this big city of ours an espiso6e
In cyclist evolution was manifest: two
cyclists were travelling at right angles
with each other, one going north. the
other passing to the east, the point of
crossing each other was at w. Barton's
corner. The cyclists of course could
not perceive each It iers approach.
Here the evolutionary part of the
transaction came in. The cyci s
going cast had the lead OF few inches
at the precise angle of their crossing.
The attempt OF the northern going
cycle to pass through that going east
was failure, It's diameter was too mar
row. In this case the Injury resulted
to the wheel, and not 10 the person.
1t seems TO me MIR. Editor, that with
the beautiful village that Uucle Sam
gave to the old pioneers, with streets
crossing each other at right angles one
mile each in length with width of 1870
feet on three OF them, aud of 80 in width
on all others, it seems that some ar.
rangement should be made by which
the cyclists, OF the village, and the rap
idly increasing numbers of those from
outside the village should have spec
ial line of trayeI provided on conVen-
lent and desirable streets for the spec
ial aud exclusive use of the cylers.
Lei citizens think OF this.

MANY SLAVES TO COCAINE.

Life-DestroyinE Drug Being More

According 10 British medical au-
thority there can be no doubt that In
many parts of the world cocaine ine-
briefly Is largely on the increase Many
writer's speak OF 1t as the third scourge
of humanity, alcohol and morphine be-
ing the first ard second. The greatest
number Of victims is to be found among
society women and among women who
have adopted literature IN profess
sion. A considerabl proportion OF
chronic cocainists have fallen under the
dominion of the drug from r. desire
to stimulate their powers of imagina-
ton. Others have acquired that habit
quite innocertly from taking coca
wines fortified with salts of the all1aloid
in solution. One drug habit rapidly en-
genders another, and the victim of
chronic cocainism is usually addicted
to ovcr7intlulgence in alcohol, besides be-
ing a confirmed cigarette smoker.
Stringent measures should be taken
to stamp out an evil which, if once
established, is difficult to eradicate
Coca wines made from cocaine, aud
cocaine lozenges and tablets should be
supplied with the utmost caution. Coca
wine and other medicated wines are
largely sold to people who are con-
sidered and consider themselves to be
total nbstainers. Originally coca wine
was made from coca leaves, but it is
now commonly q solution of the al
kaloid in sweet and usually strong al
coholic wine. Not long ago n physician
reported the case of man who, think
ing to abjure the use of alcoholic stim-
ulants. drank coca wine so freely that
he died of delirium tremens.

THE DEATHWATCH.
The Mysterious sound That Il the
BuEbenr of Childhood,

In 1863 had two ohums of the name
of Seth and Cicero Dodge, who lived
down in the forks of Coon, about four
miles below us, says a letter in Forest
and Stream. The boys were hauling
wood to town, and they told me that the
woods down in the forks were alive with
squirrels, and that il would go back
with them that evening they would get
their father TO let them have the next
day off, and we would have lots of fun
l went home and got MY No. IA muZzle
loader, plenty of ammunition and my
dog, and went home with them. Father
Dodge had built new f1ome house,
but it was not large enough 10 accom-.
modate the family and any strangerA
80 Cicero and | slept out in the old log
house l shall never forget the scare
we got that night. AS boys will, we lay
there a long time discussing the various
propositions uat suggest themselves
TO two boy ehums who haven't seen
each other for some time. Along
toward midnight We thought we dis
covered the presence of somebody un.
der our bed. To make it more certain
we distinctly heard the ticking of HE
watch. We became uneasy, for the
ticking of that watch was regular and
inceseant. Atlast Cicero quietly slipped
out of bed, went over to the new house
and called his father. who came and in
vest!gnted. Much to our chagrin the
oh gentleman soon discovered that the
cause of our dread and forebodings was
only denthwatch ut work in an old log
by the side of the bed.
