MIXTURE OF STRANGE BLOOD.

Fcw RoiGnins Families of Same Nation
nlity as tho People Governed.
There is hardly reigning monarch
in Europe whose family is of the same
nationality, absolutely, as the people
governed. The house of Austria Is
really the house of Lorraine, and even
in their origin the Hapsburgs were
Swiss And if Emperor Francis be not,
strictly speaking, an Austrian, still less
is he n Hungarian, although he is n
king of Hungary, says London Tit
Bits.
The king of Belgium is Saxe-Co-
burg, the king of Denmark Holsteiner,
the infant monarch of Spain is Bour-
bon, the king of Italy q Savoyard, the
king of Roumania and Prince Ferdi7
nand of bulgaria are both foreigners,
the founder of the Bernadotte dynasty
in Sweden was born at Pau less than y
century and quarter ago, the czar is
a Holstein Gottorp, and the king of the
Hellenes is likewise Holsteiner.
Even in Englands royal family there
is very little English blood left. The
Hohenzollerns were originally Suab-
ians, and, therefore, partly Bavarians
snd partly Swiss. Neither was the his
toric house of Orange, in which patriot
ism has nearly always been the first in
stinct, Ddtch to begin with. ,

The City newspaper men know how
To create news. The election over they
tried TO whip Spain with their pencils;
that question becoming little stale
they fell back on the two people who
are always ready to secure fame and
amuse the public. the celebrated pair
Corbett ana Fitsimmons. Once more
these two windmills haye "signed arti-
cleS" and again the bag punching, Jaw
wagging acts, with possible variation
of some sort, will commence in the news
papers. OF course, no one expects
them to fight, because Bob's face might
ache and Corbett's lady killing quail
ties might be spoiled, but II IL were
possible to get them together in a small
ring and force them TO fight for all
they were worth, 1t would be real COM
forting to see Corbett revenge the muir
der OF Jack Dempsey by separating
Lanky Bob and his breathing appara-
|tus for the balance OF time. 1t is not
that we love Corbett the more, but that
I've despise the slayer OF Jack Dempsey
|and hope he may get what he is justly
lentiIled to receive-a complete blotting
'out.

One of the indictments found by the
Grand Jury is exciting considerable
interest in Bowling Green. u. G. Los
sing of the Bowling Green Tribune is
indic for criminar libel, the case
growing out OF an item published in the
Toledo Bee, of which Mr.. Losing is
said to be the author. The article
referred TO the recent Jones trial, and
it is claimed intimated unprofessional
conduct on the part of Hon. II. S.
Parker, who assisted the State in the
prosecution of Jones. 1t Is unfortunate
that this case should leave any sore
spots among Wood county's citizens.
Jones was guilty man and received a
Just sentence for his CRIME, and we
regret that any further trouble should
follow.

When the politicians and newspa-
pers will permit Uncle Sam to walk
about his native land without carry
ing chip on his shoulder, it will be
greatly beneficial to the business inter-
ssts Of the Nation. 1t is not necessary
for this country to fight Spain in order
TO show our sympathy with Cuba, and
if any lighting is to be done, let Spain
fire tho first gun, then Uncle Sam can
roll up his sleeves and do business in
his good old successful way. Until such
time, let us look after the bone while
other dogs do the fighting.

words, gives good advice to American
girls. She has lived long enough with
wiles and caprices of rotton nobility

Perrysburg contains several lodges OF
the most prominent societies of the
times, but the general public would
hardly know that such was the case
we're it not for the fact that occasionally
they elect officers and their names are
published. In days gone by the recep-
tions given by the Masons were the
talk OF the town because of their ele-
gance and perfection in every detail.
But it's different now. The Odd Fell
lows, younger society of the, town has,
in the past, shown much ability as pub
lie entertainers, and occasionally
person who was not member would be
permitted to look upon the beauties of
their society home, and partake OF their
hospitality. Here, too, things have
changed. The Knights Of Pythias, a
society that boasts OF their hospitality,
has proven their capabilities as enter
tainers, but of late have sunken into
that same old sleepiness WHICH seems to
have come over the older socisties.
Why is this true? The Rebekah's are
about the only people who seem to have
any sociabillty about them, and by aSso-
citation with them the Odd Fellows have
an opportunity to enjoy themselves
also. Does not this show that the magic
touch of the feminine hand is necessary
TO inspire life and sociability in the
other lodges? Ii societies whose mem
bership is composed exclusively OF men,
would open the doors of their halls,
invite in the ladies and make them feel
that the money spent to keep up the
lodges WAS partly spent for their
benefit, the many nights when hus-
bands were at lodge would not seem so
long to the wife who is waiting alone
at home. Fraternal societies would
accomplish more good and increase
their membership, by showing a
little less eXolusiyeness and little
more open-handed hospitality. Times
are changing and women are asserting
d few rights almost equal to those en-
Joyed by men. In this connection how
many men will feel satisfied to have
their wives spending night after night
"at lodge" and at other secret societies
unless the dear bubbles are occasionally
given a chance TO look in and share In
the benefits. Not many. Wake up
gentlemen, and let your light shine SO
| that others NAV catch n few Of its henef
icient rays.
