Ohio has produced many political
leaders who have risen to local and na-
tional eminence by reason of their nbil-
ity to forecast public sentiment, and
their faculty of modifying it with their
own experience and wisdom, but never
was popular candidate pitted against
a more desperate foe than is Horace l..
Chapman. That he will be equal to
the occasion and summon TO his sup
port the qualities which have made
him power in private and business
life is the belief of great many people
in Ohio. How many. only the ballot

Two Sides TO Their Tale of Woe.


Sixteen persons, part of a company
of 81 Southern negroes who in 1896
left for Liberia, Africa, to found new
homes, have returned to this country.
They say the promise made to them,
that on their arrival they would be
given good farming lands and tools,
were not fulfilled. They give graphic
account of their hardships and say that
half the colonists who accompanied
them to Africa, died Of fevers. The
survivors became so poor that they
could not provide coffins for their dead,
who were buried in trenches.
The Liberian vice consul at New
York says that the trouble with most
of the colored people who went to Lii
IBERIA was that they expected to find it
a paradise, where one might get along
without working. The hardy and in
dustrious ones stayed in the country,
but usually the others came back. The
men had tendency to loaf around

public, after landing, and contracted

Why Bees Work at Night.

Rees go out all day gathering honey
and work at night in the hive. building
their comb as perfectly as if an cleo
tric light shone there all the time.
Why do they prefer to work in the
dark? is often asked. Every one knows
that honey is liquid, with no sugar in
it. After standing it gradually as
sumes crystalline appearance. or
granulates and ultimately becomes
solid mass. Honey has been expert
mentally enclosed in wellcorked
TASKS. some of which were kept in per-
feet darkness, while the others were
exposed to the light. The result was
that he portion exposed to the light
soon crystallized, while that kept in
the dark remained unchanged. Hence,
we see why the bees are so careful to
obscure the glass windows which are
often placed in the hives. The exist
ence of the young depends on the
liquidity of the saccharine food pre-.
sented to them, and if light were III
lowed access to this. it would in all
probability prove fatal to the inmates
of the hive.

Panther snd Wolves.

Two wolves and a panther formed an
alliance in Maine month ago, If the
Rredville Local of that State is to be be-
lieved, and the result has been disas-
trous to wild creatures of that region,
as well as to some tame ones.
Barker Simpkins and Fred Parsley"
the Local says, were hunting over on
the Old Pine ridge few days ago,
when they heard yelping howl across
the swamp as if dogs were chasing a
deer. AS the sounds came closer the
men made haste with still hunters eau
ton to two runways that cross the
bridge, hoping to get shot at the
dogs, since it is against the law to hunt
deer with dogs in this State. Simpkins
took to the runaway on the north side
Of the ridge and had scarcely waited
ten minutes when he heard the steady
beat of running deer's hoofs in the
three inches of snow down in the
swamp. The deer came into sight
twenty rods away where the man was
seated, and had come within ten rods
of the man when 1.-the form leaped
from 4 birch tree branch, hit the deer
and rolled over and over with it. The
deer never got up again, its neck hav-
ing been broken.
''Simpkins was so surprised that he
forgot to shoot for minute, when the
animals that were in pursuit of the
deer came into view.
''They were wolves, tall and gaunt,
with gray hair. The wolves ran with
cut hesitation to the deer, and while
the beast which had killed it, which
Simpkins made out to be panther,
tore at the deer's throat, the wolves bit
through the skin of the launches and
ate chunks of the smoking flesh, unop-
posed by the panther.
LESS than a week later another
hunter, Sam Wells, found the trails Of
two dog-like sets of paws on a deer
trail. Following these two miles, Wells
came to a gully, and here were the
remnants Of the deer, and the leaps a
panther had made left an unmistaka-
BILE trail.''

Poison in the Coffee.

Few people who habitually drink cof-
fee, several times a day, realize the
amount Of poison they are distributing
through their system. All coffee con-
tains caffeine, and the better the coffee
the more of that slow poison. By exper-
imenting with pure grains substitute
for fine coffee has been produced. 1t Is
called Grain-O. There is nothing about
1t to hurt the most delicate system 1t
strengthens the nerves and is nourish-
ing to old and young alike. The small
est child can drink Grain-O without
any bad effects. While it tastes like
and has the seal brown color Of the
finest Mocha or Java coffee it contains
all pure nourishing grains. 1t costs
only one-quarter as much as coffee.
Sold by all grocers, Is cents and 25
cents per package. Ask for Grain-O.
