AN OBLlGING OLD MAN
Is Santa Claus But II Is Said He Must
Draw the Line Somewhere.

If Santa Claus were to attempt to
meet the desires of his many youthful
devotees in Canton in the matter of
Christmas gifts he would find some of
these wishes impossible of fulfillment.
He is known to be a very obliging old
gentleman, but he has TO draw the line
somewhere and some of the little ones
will be disappointed this year.
A Canton miss of six years has for the
last two years sent communications to
Santa Claus, asking, among other
things, for a boy baby, real live one,
that talks" Last year she was made
the recipient of number of dolls ans
wering the description in all except the
"life" feature, but she has declared that
"these will not do" and, few days ago,
she again wrote to the saint, repeating
the request and adding the words,
"Please, now, Santa Claus, don't forget
II this time. for i want this more than
anything else. / have to have him to
play with. you know"
Some of the children are quite modest
In their demands. Among these are
two little girls In Market street, each Of
whom has asked for q Christmas trss.

One conductor has scheme which
has often worked successfully. If he is
handed FIVE pennies he quickly tucks
one under his thumb and spreads the
other four out on his hand. ut costs
FIVE cents to ride on this line" he in
forms the passenger. After fumbling
in his pocket, the passenger produces
a nickel or even larger coin, hands 1t
to the conductor, and Is generally so
surprised that ne cannot scold the man
I'm uniform when he receives five cop
pers in his change IL he gave the con-
ductor more than a nickel. The trick
is neat one, and few object after 1t
has been play on them. The conductor
says It teaches the people a much
needed lesson from his standpoint, and
that passengers who are taught this
lesson never again try to force pennies
on him.

VERDICT REVISED

From a Staff Correspondent.

From a Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Dec. A.-The syllabi of
cases recently decided by the supreme
court gives the courts reason for its
action in the suit of william w. Line
up in error from the circuit court, of
Stark county. The decision reverses the
lower courts.
Linerode sold tract of land to Ras-
mussen, accepting in payment there
for a farm worth $4,000 and notes ag-
gregating $1,000. Rasmussen claimed
that 1t was represented to him that
the land he acquired in the transaction
contained q vein of coal, three and one
half feet thick. but an investigation re-
vealed that such was not the case, con-
sequently he refused to pay the notes.
Linerode sued for the balance and was
awarded s1,744.25, which judgment was
affirmed by the circuit court.
The syllabus of the case - follows:
Where the defendant has sued on notes
given for purchase money for a farm,
and sought to recoup damages on the
ground that the plaintiff had repre-
sented that underlying said premises.
vein of good, bituminous, minable coal
whereas there YVES no coal whatever
under said premises, the measure of
damages is the difference between the
value of the farm as IL was represented
to be and it's actual value at the time
of the purchase"
THE JACKSONIAN BANQUET.
The Jackson club Is jubilant over the
prospects for the success of the ban

Every mail brings responses and mes

election, conceived the idea that tho

ECONOMIC LEAGUE.
Akron Branch Is Said to Have Become a
Dead Letter.

The Akron branch of the Economic
league, which was started last winter
with such brilliant prospects, is prob
ably dead letter.
Even the most enthusiastic mem
bers of the league admit the truth of
this. There has not been meeting since
the league adjourned for vacation, in
September. Several halr-hearted at
tempts to hold meetings have been
made, but they were all fiat failures,
and II is probable that no more will be
made, Rev. Charles E. Keller, president
of the league admits that the prospects
for a continuance of the meetings held
last winter are anything but flattering.
He said: II guess the league has gone
glimmering.' We have tried every plan
to get the members together but all
have failed, so I suppose we must give
it up" The league has no indebted
ness, and will disband square with the
world Some of the best citizens of Ak
ron are members Of the league.

THE LAW Violated
Alleged That the Court House Plumbing
Is Unnecessary.
The new IMPROVED Vacuum SYSTEM
Cold Air Taken From Radiators
and Cold Cash Taken From
Taxpayers. t.,
Editor News-Democrat:

Editor News-Democrat:
While the prosecuting attorney is in
vestigating the workhouse matters and
the Canal Fulton bridge, would 1t not
be well for him to look into the manner
of letting the contract for the job OF
plumbing which Is now being done in
the court house.
1t is currently reported that the job
is to cost In the ncighborhood of seven
teen or eighteen hundred dollars, and
that It was let in two sections of $3.50
each, all for the same work and to the
same firm.
This Is certainly in violation Of the
law that requires the commissioners to
advertise every contract exceeding
81 900 in order that the people may have
a chance to protest.
What the object of the plumbing is
no one seems to know, except that 1T
is called q new vacuum system, by
which the air is taken out of the radla-
tors already in use in the temple of
Justice.
No one seems to understand the neces-
sity of 1t. The court house is always
warm enough. So warm and comforta-
BILE is 1t, indeed, that there is an army
Of people in the county that would like
to be quartered in it's offices.
Every county official, with the single
exception of the commissioners, COM
plains Of the unsightly pipes that have
been run up through the offices. They
are not thing Of beauty and many
persons question their utility.
-u To the ordinary observer, it is rather
hard to understand how nearly two
thousand dollars can be wrapped UP
in one or two three-quarter inch pipes
running through each office in the court
house.
Why were not the people given the
privilege accorded them by the law?
, Was 1t through fear that protest
might be made? think the prosecut-
ing attorney should give this an air
. ing, along with those other matters
j. The people are with him in this investi-
i cation. Taxpayers, who have been
/ groaning under the burdens of high
taxes for years. see in this investigation

WAR IS DECLARED
Canton Roll and Machine Company
Signs an Agreement
TO Sell ITS OUTPUT TO The TRUST.
American Tin Plate Aggregation
Must Fight the Independ.
entS,

The American Tin Plate company, or
the big consolidation which controls
about two-thrds of the country's out
put in this line, is decidedly worried
over a move made by it last July, year
ago.
The mammoth concern apparently has
found it necessary to take under its
protecting wing competitor with
plenty of fighting qualifications.
A meeting was held in New York last
week between representatives of the
American Tin Plate company and the
Canton Roll and Machine company,
whereby the latter firm signed an agree
ment to sell it's output only to the con-
solidation.
Such an agreement was signed on the
above date between the tin company
and many of the important modern
machine manufacturing plants, which
resulted in the independent plants hav-
ing much difficulty in purchasing nee
essary material because of such an
agreement.
Other independent plants Immediately
started and also independent rolling
mill machine manufacturing plants
Prices have been cut and war has been
waged in general, with reported loss
to both sides.
1t is not known whether this is the
initial movement, to be followed by
others in respect to all independent ma
chine manufacturing plants or not
Should the American Tin Plate COM
pany succeed in inducing the independ-
ent machine manufacturers to entcI
into a similar agreement with them
the little independents" will be placed
in bad straits and prices in tin plate
may be somewhat changed.

TRICK THAT WORKS.
Conductors On Canton Electric Lines
.r.1sa Detest Pennies. sts-

Conductors on the street car lines in
Canton detest pennies. When a con-
ductor receives a large number of pen
nies in the course of run he is dis
# gusted il he cannot dispose of the ma
yjority of them before he reaches the
terminus, where he turns in the cash.
Generally when the pennies are abun-
-dant, everyone has the exact fare In
rthat coin, and the conductor Is often in
"a dilemma as to how to get rid Of them
Generally he gives the man who hands
him a bill rs pennies and other small
pieces Of coin, but usually when pennies
are numerous the passengers with dol
lar and two dollar bills are scarce.

thought, was the pickpocket, but before
he or his friends could get to him the
supposed thief got away.
Kriegbaum reported the loss to the

locate the man with the sticky fingers
