A prominent real estate man of To-
ledo. in speaking of Perrysburg and
her future, observed that Perrysburg
people must not expect citizens from
the city or larger towns where they
have had the advantages of city i'm
provements, to come here and locate,
because we have nothing to offer as
inducements. Here we have neither
water works, sewerage, good streets
nor electric lights, yet our taxation is
as high as many towns wherein all these
improvements are provided. "Perrys-
burg is nicely located" SAID he, land
nature has done much for the village.
but mankind has been very slow in
appreciating and making the best of
what nature has done. If your people
would get together and do something
for the town, and the first step must be
electric lights, the Old town would take
on new life; property would find ready
sale, and many very desirable people
from the city and elsewhere would soon
be registered as citizens of the pretty
old town." Our people will do we'll to
think over what this real estate man
has said.

The recent victory for the Republi-
can ticket in not due simply to there
being large number OF Republicans in
the country, but is an indica-
tion that large number Of Democrats
laid aside party fealty and joined hands
with the Republicans through patriot
ism and love of country. They knew
that President Mckinley had done
nobly in conducting the Spanish war,
that he needed Congress that was
fully in sympathy with him and they
voted with the President for the COM
mon good of the people. They did
right and are entitled to much of the
credit OF the great victory

A girl in Philadelphia put in very
anxious two hours the other day as q
result of being too ingenious. She is
the possessor of a pair of diamond ear
rings, brooch and other valuable
trinkets. One day she was going shop
ping, and, not caring to wear the gems,
she put them in little chamois bag,
and hid the bag in a waste paper bas-
ket. She argued that no thief would
think of looking for valuables in such
q place, and her argument still remains
good. But, as it happened, the girls
mother took that day to empty the
waste basket into the garbage can, and
when the girl came home her jewels
were on the way to the incinerating
plant. Her state of mind can only be
imagined, but she had strength enough
to hurry to the plant, where she luck
lily arrived before the wagon. She
waited anXiously, and when it came, the
precious bag was fished out. The man
who investigated the contents of the
wagon received nice reward, and The
girl went home happy once more.

The Spiritual Side.

The curse of drunkenness on the side OF
It's physical devastations has been abun-
Gantly depicted by the advocates of the tenn
peranee reform. The amount of grain con.
sumed in the manufacture Of Intoxicating
liquors; the number of men whose labor is
worse than wasted In producing and vend-
Ing them; the number of lives destroyed by
them; the number of paupers and insane
persons whose woes are traceable to this
source; the effects upon ttho health OF in
dividuals-all OF these things are frequent
ly set forth with sufficient fulness In I'M
pressive rhetoric. Some allowances must
be made for the overstatements of jealous
advocates, but there are facts enough Of an
appalling nature In these representations
to call for the most serious thought.
But the worst side Of drunkenness Is not
that which appears In these familiar figures.
The most frightful effects OF the drink habit
are not those which can be tabulated in
statistics and reported in the census. 1t is
not tho waste of corn nor the destruction OF
property, nor the increase OF taxes, nor
even the ruin of physical health nor the
loss Of life, which most impresses the mind
of the thoughtful observer Of inebriety. 1t
Is the effect Of this vice upon the charac-
ters of men as 1t Is exhibited to him, day by
day, in his ordinary intercourse with them.
1t is in the spiritual realm that the ravages
Of strong drink are most terrible.

will be turned out OF employment from the

A lady passenger, clad in weeds of mourn
ing, rose to her feet, and, with fearful
voice, said: ''Sir have brave boy and a
husband sleeping the sleep of death in a
soldiers cemetery. I have only one boy
left. and he is in front of the foe. Oh,

CONTEMPLATING IN PRISON.
Convicts Take Metal From the Engines
and Coin Nfckels.

A counterfeiting plant has been discov-
cred within the walls of the State Prison
at Folsom, Cal. The work was done in the
engine room by Convicts L. H. Coyne and
James Brown. SO far as known only nickels
were coined, presumably because no silver
could be obtained. When the officers
rushed in Coyne and Brown leaped through
a window and threw their dies and cruel
bles into canal leading to the American
River. large number Of we'll executed
five-cent pieces were found. They were
made from Babbit metal taken from the
engines which run through the prison
grounds for the purpose of hauling rock
from the quarres.
It is Thought that the dies or moulds
were not made by the men who coined the
money, but by some Of the expert counter
feiters in the prison. Several of the bogus
coins have been found in circulation in the
town of Folsom.

How Rails Are Injured.

While on steam roads the tracks are
not injured by locomotives running at
high speeds, street railway men COM
plain that their tracks are torn to
pieces by the electric cars. The rea-
son for this is that the plunging and
rearing of cars mounted on four
wheeled trucks pound the tracks and
loosen the joints. Cars on short-base
single trucks often plunge sufficiently
to throw practically all the weight on
to the front and rear wheels alterna
lively, and the damaging effect Of this
can easily be realized.

Ruins Every Effort For Good.

Intemperance ruins every effort for good.
Pour money by the thousands into the
slums, multiply institutions. improve the
rookeries, reduce the rents, and, unless
you somehow or other concurrently reduce
the temptations to indulgence in strong
drink, you will simply furnish SO much
more material for fostering the vice. Pro-
vide free education, feed the children,
clothe them, distribute alms-all that can
be saved in such ways will go in drink.
