A CURIOUS EET.
How the Old Woman Dashed n Rech-
less Youths Hopes.


Two OF the younger members of a
well-known club, both OF whom are SO
fond of betting that they nre willing
to vnger money upon almost anything,
became involved in an argument over
the popularity of mustaches few days
ago, says the Philadelphia Record. One
contended that the wearing of the hir-
suite ndornment wns on the wane; the
other said that more mustaches are
worn now than ever before. The up
shot OF the mntter was that the first Of
fered to bet that seven persons without
mustachcs Qncluding women, for the
sake of making the test more interest
iDg) would pass the club windows be-
fore three with mustaches should go
by. The wager was promptly accept
ed, q referee was selected and the three
stationed themselves at the point of
vantage to take observations. The first
four 10 pass were young women and the
anti-mustache man grew jubilant. His
jaw fell, however when the next two
pedestrians, with luxurious growths
upon their lips, hove in sight Then fol-
lowed two more women, and the watch
crs waited expectantly. The ninth
passer-by was young man who was
raising n mustachc, yet in it's infancy.
A warm argument followed us to the
disposition of this case, but the referee
settled the matter by crediting one-hulf
10 each side, making the score 61s to 2h.
An old woman was approaching in the
distance, and the man who had 2H
points began to lose hope, but when
hhe arrived opposite the reviewing stand
IL was seen that she had more hair
ON her lip than her male predecessor.
The referee decided against the fellow
who had proposed the bet.

PKRRYsBURG PROSPERITY.

Although mention has been made

subject OF Perrysburg's progress, let
the doubling one crawl out of his hole
and look about him.
He will find most marked signs of
our prosperity and advancement in
schools, business, streets and build
ings.
That our schools have made long
strides upward during the last year is
proven by the general satisfaction ex-
pressed by pupils and visitors.
Among our new business enterprises
we may name dentist, an undertak-
Ing establishment, footwear repair
ang shop and grocery.
These, coupled with the favorable
reports in all lines of business show a
much brighter outlook for Perrys-
burgs material prosperity and ad-
vancement Never have our streets
seemed better. cleaner and more at
Gractive than this spring.
All of our principal thoroughfares
are lined with beautiful shade trees
lawns are kept neat and clean, and
while there is always, of course, room
Tor much improvement, the citizens OF
Perrysburg have reason to be proud oi
her natural and artificial beauties.
Perhaps no more noticeable mark ol
Dur prosperity may be found than in
the many fine residences now being
