THE GOOD MANS STEPS.

Everyone Who Lives to Please God Has Right to Claim His Protection. There is nothing more plainly re- hTsaled than that our heavenly Father Borders the steps of a good man." If Eas fact were communicated to us in E Ehe original way-that is, by miracu-
 cus voices, as in the olden time-the
 lHiormation could net come with more
 tfsctness and power than we now NlaYe it from day to day. Surely every ene who lives wholly to please God has &s night to claim his protection, his #tiEection, and his help, not every Ziour only, but every moment of his #ie. He may not-indeed, cannot-be #ayays thinking of this great favor. #l4ie has it's imperative and absorbing 8tQties. His energies are often taxed

 aaDitually, sincerely, unhesitatingly,

GUNPoWDER IN HUNTING.
Took Many Years for Hunters to Fann-
 iarixe Themselves With It.

iarize Themselves With It..
 A curious feature about this eYoIua ton in methods of hunting was the hess itation with which gunpowder was taken up by the great nobles. Not only did it take quite century to familiar~ ize hunters with 1t, but the evidence that has come down to us shows that the humble classes were the first to use 1t for shooting game. MaximilIian. ar- dent sportsman that he was, tells us himself that he could shoot further and with greater accuracy with his cross bow than his keeper could with the tire-tube. To prove this he tells us the well-known story of a certain chamois standing at distance of two hundred fathoms. which, after being pronounced as to far off by his henchman, who was armed with one of the first sporting firearms mentioned in print, comes tumbling down, pierced by the first att tempt of the Emperor's bolt. From other sources we learn of strict meas ures being adopted to prevent poachers and ewoodloafers" using firearms; and this at period when princes still used the cumbrous cross-bow and spear. 1t was only in the last quarter of the six teenth century that firearms had busted other weapons for certain forms of the chase, the deer-battle being among the latter.

Adjutant General Kingsley is au-
thority for the statement that the Ohio
national guard was to be mustered out
because OF general lack of discipline
and because the officers had ignored
orders issued last Winter when steps
were taken to recognize the guard
after the close of the war, and it is now
proposed to begin at the bottom and
build up n new militia. Many of the
old officers take issue with the adjutant
general and say mastering out is the
result of jealousy that WAS engindered
during the war, and after the compan-
les returned home.

The Baltimore 81 Ohio has issued an
order that all employees of that road
who do not pay their honest debts will
be summarily discharged. A number
of men at Garrett, according to the Her.
aid OF that place, have already received
their walking papers. A similar order
should be enforced not only by railroad
companies but by every other company
and person employing help. II this
was done merchants would haye much
less money sunken in dead beat ac-
counts, and the entire country would
be benefited thereby.

Rev. d. H. Bailey announced last
week that instead of the regular Sun
day night service he would preach to
men only, and gave II special invitation
to the men of this vicinity to come out
and hear him. He was greeted with a
very large audience who listened to a
most excellent address. The sermon
was entirely free from anything which
might be construed in the way of per-
sonal abuse, or unkind insinuations
toward any special class of men, but
was plain practical talk along the
lines of morality and given in such
manner that it would be accepted in
the way it was intended, by every man
who heard it. He was sufficiently
charitable to recognize the fact that
all men were not born with the same
thoughts and desires and that all were
not subject to the same influences, but
seemed to believe that there was some
good in each individual and his effort
seemed 10 be TO strengthen the good
and pro duce in the hearts of his
hearers desire to cultivate the virtues
and eschew the vices which are Incl
dental to the life of the average man.
1t was one OF the best sermons ever
delivered here.

presence of about 100 invited guests,
occurred the marriage of Joseph F..
Boff OF this place, and Miss Caroline

Perrysburg has been without a
Mayor for the past week, as will be
seen by council proceeding in the paper
Two Counclmen have also resigned.
Differences Of opinion regarding the
management of village affairs is the
cause OF the unpleasantness in our leg
islative body. The failure to fill the
vacancies at the last meeting OF council
has given time for reconsideration Of
the situation and it is now rumored
that the differences existing among the
councilmen may be settled and Mayor
Bowers recalled. The situation at best
is not IA pleasant one and it is hoped
that at the next meeting of council the
white winged dove of peace will spread
her wings in the council halls and
unity and good fellowship will abide
with all our village fathers.

Our Washington correspondent SAYS:
Only amusement has been caused in
Washington by the cable news that
prominent European editors were SER
iously discussing the probability OF our
abandonment OF the Philippines. These
men do not know the American charac-
ter even little bit. President McKin-
ley aud his cabinet have no more idea
OF abandoning the Philippines than
they have of abandoning Hawaii or
Porto Rico. And, what is more TO the
point, they are perfectly we'll satisfied
with the progress that has been made
by Gen. Otis towards getting possession
oi the Philippines. They know that
the origin OF the numerous stories
about the insurmountable difficulties
before us in the Philippines, which are
being published in this country and
Europe, as well as the kilograms sent
to the Philippines to create dissatisfsc-
tion among the volunteers, can be
traced to politics-very dirty politics,
too; that they are being spread by
democrats and other anti-ex pansionists,
with the hope that sentiment can be
created among the voters that will be
Injurious TO the administration IN next
years campaign. No political party
can make votes by belittliug ths Amer
lean flag and power; hence the stories
cause no uneasiness to the Administra
tion.

stewed till soft, then mashed thoroughly
and an equal quantity of cornmeal
added, mixing the whole into a thick
paste, adding a little salt. The paste
is divided into four pound loayes and
baked till thoroughly done. When
cold, they are fed to horses doing heavy
work, at the rate OF four loaves a day,

about four o'clock and one at night,
giving with the last one about ten
pounds of poor hay"

Damage Suit.
N. L. HANSON.

Mrs. B. Krout has begun suit for
$4,000 damages against Sheriff Stager.
Mrs. krout was confined in Jail during
Sheriff Tual's term as witness In a
murder case. She says that, contrary
to the statutes, she was confined in a
room with females, who were charged
with crime. She recites that persons
held as witnesses are not to be locked
up with criminals. Mrs. Krout alleges
that her imprisonment with the other
women subjected her to a disease which
is incurable. Attorneys claim the re-
sponsibility will rest on the county, ard
as there seems to be doubt If county
can be sued, the case will be watched
with interest.

Time.
In a recent article by DR.. David III.
Reeder, professor of hygiene and die
tetics of the college of medicine and
surgery, Chicago, he states: IA
chemist may steep lime shell in Il
quantity of pure water so that a por-
ton of the lime will be dissolved in
the water. Let this water be taken
into the stomach of the person TO
whom we desire to supply bone ma
terial. VIII this lime now undergo n
change such as will convert it into
bone? No more than will mortar.
This is a good illustration of the
reason for the failure to obtain re-
suits in rebuilding the body by adj
ministering certain minerals from the
drug shop. Once the principles have
been made into lime, potash, etc,
they cannot be Iearranged into the
human economy readily. but these
elements or minerals are needed in
very delicate particles for the rebuild
ing of certain structure in the human
body. We should obtain them from
the grains, for in that way nature
presents them with the molecules SO
delicately divided that the human
system takes them up.
This is true of Grape-Nuts, the ia
nous food, made with the special in
tent of rebuilding the brain. solar
plexus and nerve centers of the hu-
man body. by Offering the phosphate
of potash in natural way, which
combines with albumeB and does the
work intended.

PR|NCESTARTLES'E 'EM
Congressman Creates a Sensa-
ton at a MilIionaires'
Banquet.
DEGREES TRUST FORMATIONS.

Says the Republican-dade Evil Creates
Serfs, and Appeals to Patriotism to Put
stop to It-HIs Address Before the
Chicago Last Night.
Congressman George W. Prince
created a sensation-and quite ma
turaliy, too-by talking against trusts
at the banquet of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association at the Great
Northern hotel in Chicago last even
ing. Mr.. Princes remarks evident
ly were not down on the
program, and the Tribune of
this morning says they were of such
a nature that their delivery was like a
bomb discharged at the banquet, and
the audience addressed seemed hardly
TO know how TO take it. Prince said
that if trusts were formed his
hearers were the mep to form
them. He begged them for their own,
for their children's and their coun-
try's sake to keep out of them. The
trusts, the congressman said, were
the makers of serfs, the controllers of
the fates of millions of people. He
did not see how his country could be at
the same time a country of trusts and
a country of Industrial freedom.
Why Prince Created a Sensation.
The sensation which the sentiment
thus advanced created was due to the
fact that it should be given express
sion on such an occasion, and that it
should come from such a rock-ribbed
republican, believing, as he is known
to, in the trust-making tenets of
that party.

licemen, anyway.
Apparently impressed with the
strangely mistaken notion that the
public has become reconciled to their
tout ensemb BILE, the brownies have on
one or two instances of late ventured
boldly into public gaze. Two of the
were seen trotting along
one of the main streets together the
other evening.
A citizen called at headquarters one
night recently and requested that u
brownie be detailed to his neighbor-
hood to watch for burglar who had
been seen trying to get into Il house
and was expected to return. A
brownie accompanied the citizen, and
said he would watch for the intruder
and would surely capture him if he
put in an appearance again. A few
hours afterward two shots were fired
by the citizen, who saw the burglar
peeping through a window of his next
door neighbours house. And the burg
lar took to his heels. The blue coat
was nowhere in sight. To satisfy his
own curiosity the citizen went in
search of the brownie. He found
him seated on curbstone beneath an
electric light two blocks distant from
the house that he had promised to
guard Il waited around quite
awhile" said the brownie, ''but the
rascal didn't show up. My attention
was suddenly attracted by the howls
of a crowd of dogs that were having a
vicious fight over toward the west a
ways. / went to separate them, and
was just taking n rest after my
walk"
