Although little tardy, IL is never
too tate to mention q work OF merit,
aud the JOURNAL feels that the article
In the Toledo Blade on the "Boyhood
of Joseph Benson Foraker" from the
pen of F. L. Dustmen OF the.Blade staff,
is certainly entitled to be considered as
such. Mr.. Dustman recently contrib
uted to that excellent newspaper SIM
liar sketch of the "Boyhood and early
manhood of Ex-President Hayes"
which created favorable comment from
all sections OF the country and his latest
effort is even better than the first.
The writer Of the sketch, or condensed
history of Senator Foraker's early life,
visited the sceues OF his boyhood, con-
versed with his aged parents, tread the
same ground and breathed sufficient of
the air from the scenes where this
great mans early life was spent to en-
able him to give to the readers Of the
Glade a story that should be read by
every youth in the land. No better
lesson could be taught to the young
people than is made known through the
struggles and triumphs, the love and
patriotism of the boy who has made for
himself name that is known through
out the English speaking world and
honored wherever known. Even the
artist, who illustrated the sketch, was
in sympathy with the writer and did
his part of the work IN highly credit
able manner. The Blade, Mr.. Dust
man and the artist are entitled to
praise.

WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA.
WeIl-Formed and Pretty, But Greatly
Lacking In Grace.

Well-Formed and Pretty, But Greatly
Lacking In Grace.
A description of the Australian belle
reads not unlike that which calumni-
ators are wont to ascribe to the Chi
cago girl. They are said to be, though
pretty, tall and we'll formed, not grace
full. Her feet are seldom small, her hands
rarely beautiful. Moreover, she does not
dress well. Her toilet has none of the
chic of the Parisienne's and little of
the sobriety of the nglishwoman's
Overdressed or dowdy, she produces the
impression not only of having little
taste, but no artistic sense of the fitness
of things. Stylish and elegant women
are to be seen more frequently in Mel
bourne than elsewhere.
Nevertheless, dress is dear TO the soul
of an Australian, and much is. spent
upon it. Down in the lowest social
grades dress plays most important
part. The Australian hugs the idea of
equality, and believing in uniformity
OF dress as the visible sign thereof,
often sacrifices actual comfort to OBJ
tain fashionable clothing. An Aus
tralian family makes brave show on
holidays. There may be bare feet and
rags in the house, but there are cheap
feathers and gloves in the street.

WHY HE OUT THE WIRES.
Cyclist Brought Assistance by nm In
Renious Process.

8en1Oub frOcoHos
The person who wrote that cleo
Itricity was one of the mighty agents
of nature enchained by the ingenuity
of man." says the Electrical Review,
can scarcely have contemplated in his
widest dreams the full extent Of that
ingenuity. For instance, he is scarce
ly likely to have prophesied that a
sick man, far from babitations Of civ
ilization, could have cut a telegraph
wire In order to obtain assistance. And
yet such has really occurred. The
whole of the vast continent of Australia
WAS practically cut of from European
news for "a hours in the middle OF
September in consequence of an inter-
ruption on the line between Adelaide
and Port Darwin. Inquiries were made,
and 1t was found that the wire had been
cut by cyclist who had been taken
III while on journey across the CONT
nent. 1t was not related how he set
about it, but he had the satisfaction
at any rate Of getting what he wanted.
1t is not desired to establish this as a
precedent of summoning help under in
convenient circumstances.

A Sad Case.

Ex-Judge Joshua r. Seney, we'll
known by the law fraternity of North
western Ohio as one of the ablest jur-
lists, at one time, in these parts, but
who became unbalanced mentally sew
eral years ago and was confined In the
Toledo State Hospital, escaped from
there Friday, and this morning was
taken into custody by the officers here.
He made his appearance at Baldwin g.
Harrington Office in quest of applica-
tion papers for writ of habeas corpus.
Being acquainted with him and his con-
dttion, Mr., Baldwin turned him aside
with pen and paper, and told him to
prepare the papers himself In the
meantime the officers we're notified, and
shortly afterwards he was taken in
charge. The asylum authorities were
notified. and they sarrived this after
noon and took charge of him. .-Senti-

A TRAVELLING CAT

The Queer Conduct of n New Jersey
Feline.
Tramp cats are common articles, but
cat that steals rides in freight cars is
little out of this line. Such a cat is the
property of Operator Percy Yankirk,
who works for the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Manunka Chunk, N. j., the
junction point of the Pennsylvania road
and the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern railroad. Early in the summer
when car of freight from Kensington,
Pa, was opened at Manunka Chunk out
jumped yellow cat, which made it's
home with the operator from that time.
The operator named the cat Yellow
Kid. 1t became the pet OF all the train
men and employees around the station.
Since that time Yellow Kid has made
several short trips on the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, and has been
located and returned to his home with
out injury each trip. Not long ago he
again disappeared after the afternoon
freight had left and as he could not be
found agents ut all stations where cars
were sent were notified to be ON the
lookout for the Kid. Three days after
word was received that he was visiting
the boys in the Trenton freight house.
he having arrived that afternoon, after
making 75-mile trip, and being on the
road nearly two days. He was returned
to his owner the next evening. VAN
kirk is now having tag made to be
worn by the cat so as to insure his safe
return when the "curse of the wander
ing foot" seizes him.

The large annual increase in the con-
sumption OF sugar shows constantly
widening field for the growers OF sugar
beets and the promoters Of sugar-beet
factories. The sugar consumed in 1896
was 1850, ,0S6 tons, but In 1897, was g.
096, ,260 tons, an increase In the year of
1876, III tons or 272, 1854, 900 pounds. OF
the total production in 1897, only A.
347 tons was from beets grown in the
United States. The total sugar pro-
duction OF the United States was 1885,
$50 tons, leaving other countries to sup
ply US with 1,76O,607 tons, most of it
coming from Europe. There seems no
reason why this should be, possessing,
as we do, the best sugar.beet land in
the world.

RAT HUNTS TN -oHlo.
Opposing Armies Frequently Resort
TO TricISery.

to Trickery.
Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says a Bloomingburg
(O0 correspondent, and it is just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oppos-
ing "arTnies" of hunters. A rat hunt
has just been concluded here in which
11,455 rat tails were counted, and
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in 6,s02 tails and the
other 4,653 tails. 1t now leaks out
that one of the leaders of the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held rat hunt
1,4s6 tails, paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
cent for 4s0 of them, the tails cost
ing more than $12. This enabled this
crowd to come out victorious. When
the tails were purchased man from
another place was present, but was not
willing to pay so much for the tails.
When the 11,455 tails were counted
out here a man was present from
Plain City and offered to give $25 cash
for 1900 rat tails, but they were all
burned, and he was not allowed to take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
In many different rat hunts.

ADJOURNED COURT TO FIGHT.
"A Judge Who Enjoyed n Little bout
Htmaelf

Himself.
Judge Wilson Hammock, who died at
Lebanon, Tenn, in February last, was
among the most gifted men the state
ever produced, says the Glasgow (Ky.)
News Unfortunately he became in
'volved in quarrel during his early
manhood and took the life of fellow
man. Although enonerated by the jury,
the intimate friends of the Judge are
inclined to the belief that his future life
was, in measure, controlled by his
early misfortune. However, II a man
ever lived who enjoyed fight, that
man was Judge Hammock. He bore
no malice and no marks when an fray
was ended, but fellow in search Of
trouble never went begging when the
judge was in the community, and the
came man never went In search the sec
iond time. During his term as circuit
Judge of the Hartsville district a wan.
ton insult was given by an attorney at
the bar. In an orderly and quiet way
Judge Hammock ordered the sheriff to
adjourn court for two minutes. Then
walking outside the rostrum, he picked
up chair and shattered it TO pieces
over the offenders head. Call the court
to ORDER" said he to the officer, and, re-
suming his place on the bench, re-.
marked: Gentlemen, when anyone
cares to insult this court, let nothing
prevent"
