The belief of the Advertiser that the
Bow Wong Protective Association, Coz
which a charter has been asked, Is a

rules of that organization, which reads:

Indications of Parr-i-.

Indications of Pare-is.
Lawyers and louugers in the supreme
court are testing themselves for paresis
| these days. In the course of suit
against Ex-Governor Waller, of Con-
necticut, and Alfred r. Page, a lawyer
to recover $1,000 worth OF property,
counsel for the defense mentioned some
OF the common symptoms of paresis
and explained how the tests can be ap-
piled. FOR instance. If the pupil OF one
eye is larger than that of the other IL
is bad sign. Cross your legs so that
the crook of one leg fits over the knee
OF the other, and hit the upper leg
sharply just below the kneecap. II the
leg flies up you are all right; IL It does
not, beware! Stand up perfectly
straight. with your feet close together.
and look at point ten feet away, you
sway from side to side you are in a
bad way. Still another test Is TO stand
on one foot, with the other leg bent at
the knee. If you can stand perfectly
still for five seconds without dropping
the raised leg you are probably sound.
Since this testimony has been made
public one may see business men in
their offices, loungers in cafes. truck
men in their wagons, policemen on
their beats. and men Of all avocations
balancing themselves on one foot and
going through other maneuvers to
make sure that they are not disposed
toward paresis.

HUNT REUNION.

Last Monday, December 25, the fam
lily of John and Phebe Hunt both de-
ceased, held family reunion at the
old home place in Monroe township.
The home farm has recently been sold,
and this being the last one, made the
occasion of universal interest, and the
whole family were present, including
ten children, four boys and six girls;
two boys and four girls married, with
their families made forty persons in all.
The day was cold and stormy, yet
they gathered early and were entertain
ed by those living on the farm, J. w.
and Sallie Hunt, brother and sister, un-
til dinner time, when heavily laden
tables entertained the guests for the
next two hours to the satisfaction of all.
1t is to be hoped that these reunions
may not vanish by the old home pass
ing into strangers hands, but may be
kept sacred to the memory of those who
inaugurated them. Those present
were, Will Hunt and family,
M. L. Russell and family, Geo. Myers
and wife, J. W. Hunt, Henry Stout and

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
ABOUT TO BE nADE ON THE
D. & L. N.

We have inside information that
some much needed steps will soon be
made to complete the D. & L. N. rail-
road. Heretofore when the Baltimore
limited reached Columbus Junction
near St. Johns, the train stopped on a
stiff curve, throwing the platform from
which the passengers had to get off,
some four feet in the air. This did not
make so much difference, as it was
found that all the passengers who
jumped off struck the ground some
where. Sometimes they rolled down
the embankment, but generally got up
in time to catch the Ohio Southern
train. The great difficulty has been
with passengers wanting to board the
train at that point. An able bodied
man, has generally been able to throw
his valise up on the steps, and if he
was right active he could reach up,
catch the iron rods along side the
steps, and jump high enough to get one
knee on the bottom step. He could
then crawl up the rest OF the way at
his leisure. How old people, women
and children ever get on the cars. there
has been a mystery. Complaint has
been made times without end to the
conductor and telegraph operator there,
and referred to the general manager,
chief engineer, and Superintendent,
and thence they went to the receiver,
and from him to the receiver for the
receiver, but SO far nothing has besn
done. This week, agent Segar, of our
town, and his force have tackled the
question, and will try and get candle
box at Lakeview, soap box at Lewis
town and a dry goods box in Bellefon-
taine, and if they can borrow few
nails and two fencing boards, an ele-
CANT platform will be erected.

1t is reported that the number OF
Americans enlisting in abe British
forces is phenomenally large. The
new recruits are chiefly cavalrymen,
applicants who have no experience not
being allowed to enter the ranks. The
applicants turn up at Cape Town, as
the government will not enlist them in
this country, for the present. In South
Africa they are first tried in the irreg-
ular horse, and then promoted to the
ranks of the regulars in place of those
killed or wounded. One hundred
