HOW TO SELECT A WIFE.

Since marriage is the perfect state, why
IS 1t that we poor mOrtals so often make
the wrong selection in the choice of a
wife? Is it due to our system of separat-
be growing up together, Of allowing boys
and girls to meet as strangers when it is
most essential that they should be well
acquainted, of knowing nothing of each
Others characteristics and having only
their feelings to guide them, or, in other
words, when each is a mystery to the
other?
The women of today are better educat-
cd on this subject than the men; their
ideals are higher, their advisers are bet
ter Men as rule are too self-cOnfident:
they. believe they ''know it alp and they
are imposed upon by the girls least wor-
thy of their regard or respect, who lack
thing but beauty and the art of imposing
upon them. Few men are a match for
designing woman; the better the man the
more easily is he victimized because he
attributes to the object of his affection all
sorts of impossible virtues.
Inc majority of unhappy marriages are
due to the lack of any fixed ideals of
married life, and in this respect men are
the chief sinners. They marry because
tnelr trends marry, or because they want
home, or because they imagine they are
IN love with pretty face; all insufficient
reasons TOT taking upon One'S-self the re-
sponslblllties of marriage before one has
met the proper mate. A happy marriage
IS the making of any man, and the happi-
est people are the married ones.
When man contemplates marriage
seriously, and sets out to find himself q
wife, he should be worthy of one; he must
not expect foolish girl of 20 to develop,
even as the years go on, into anything
but foolish woman; girl who at the
to a.
life is not all frivolity will never realize
1T. However young the wives men mar
ry, unless there is the proper material to
w WORK upon they 90 not make good wives.
The right material is plastic, the wrong
is liable to ugly twists; the right material
Is also open to ennobling influences that
not only lift her. but have their beneficial
effect upon the husband.
The right sort of woman makes life on
this earth about as pleasant as it is, well
we should have it.-John Strange Winter

TO WIN THE CHILDREN.

"No subject can be of more vital i'm
portance in the home and to us as moth
ers than home influence" says Bertha
Wood Larrabee, in the Mothers Journal.
The mother who has won and knows how
to keep the confidence of her children has
learned one of the most precious lessons
Of motherhood. It is one of the most
natural things in the world for a child to
trust and confide in mother, and unless
some barrier blocks the way a child will
always naturally and voluntarily make
confidante of it's mother.
THE mother who begins with her chill
dren by allowing them-not teaching
them II but Just simply allowing them-of
their own free will to contide in her has
a hold on her children that She will
never lose. In order to keep the conf
:dence Of her children, letsevery mother
prove herself worthy Of confidnce. Let
her life be such thatsthe child, even the
baby, who learns sooner than we think,
may see nothing but what is pure and
tender: Let him always find her full Of
sympathy and read to- listen to the
childish stories. The neither who does

A LOVE SONG,
cares for winter wild without.

Who cares for winter wild without,
Who cares for frost and snow,
When all the one he thinks about,
Is where the roses grow?
Her smiles are sweet as sunshine bright;
Her eyes like heavens own blue;
She fills for me the world with light
because she's dear and true!
Who cares for winds that bitter blow, .
For sleet or singing rain,
When he ut heart doth surely know
His love gives love again?
Her whispers are like leaves attune,
With wonder of the wind;
Her very presence sweet as June
Enchanting heart and mind!

BRAKEMAN'S BRAVE ACT.
Cleveland h Pittsburg Man
Saves a w. l. l.. E. Train
From Being Ditched.

The Cleveland Wheeling special on
the Wheeling and Lake Erie which
leaves Canton for Wheeling at S:1S a. m.
had narrow escape from being wreck
ed near Bellaire yesterday morning
and was saved from being ditched by
the brave act of a Cleveland and Pitts
burg brakeman. A special dispatch to
the Cleveland Leader says:
William Sullivan, of this city, a
Pittsburg railroad, is a hero. He was
in the middle of his train, coming down
from Pittsburg early this morning,
when he discovered a big oak plank
across the tracks Of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad, and at the risk Of
his life removed it in time to save pas
senger train that was due. At Rainey-
town the tracks Of the Cleveland and
Pittsburg and Wheeling and Lake Erie
are within 20 feet Of each other. Sulli-
van saw the plank lying across the
track, and, knowing that his train pass
ed the Wheeling and Lake Erie Cleve-
land express near that point each morn
ing, realized the danger. His train was
light and was making UP time at the
rate of 30 miles an hour. He tried to
signal the engineer, but failing, and not
caring to take the time to go forward,
he prepared for the next best thing.
He waited till he came to a pile Of soft
gravel which had been placed alongside
the Cleveland and Pittsburg track for
ballast, and, climbingdown to the step
of box car, dropped off into the pile
Of gravel. He had misjudged the speed
and was whirled into the air half a
dozen, times before he came to a stop,
but aside from few bruises and
scratches, was unhurt He ran back
and removed the plank just two minutes
before the Cleveland express arrived,
and saw the train go by in safety.

HIS FREEDOM
WAS LIMITED.
James Duhlebaum Arrested on
Charge of Burglary.
HAD COMPLETED A SENTENCE.
Marshal Reinhart Serves a Warrant Upon
Him In Which He Is Charged
with Burglarizing Robert
Griffith's Home.

James Duhlebaum was arrested
Tuesday noon by Marshal Reinhart at
the county workhouse, on the charge of
burglary. The affidavit is sworn to by
Robert Griffith, who resides along the
Waynesburg road. He alleges that on
August 25th, 1899, Duhlebaum and an
unknown companion unlawfully enter
ed his residence and carried away
therefrom one ladys watch valued at
IS, four gold rings worth IS, one razor
costing 81, and pocketbook valued at
80 cents, aggregating a total value of
$3.50. Duhlebaum was arrested in this
city by Akron officers last fall and
taken to Akron where he was adjudged
guilty Of some crime committed in a
small village adjoining that city. He
was committed to the county work.
house and his sentence expired Tues
day. Marshal Reinhart called at the
works and took James in charge just as
he stepped out of the building. He will
have preliminary hearing later on.
1t appears that at the time of the
burglary Griffith and his wife were alb
sent from home, but a neighbor saw a
man whom he recognized as Duhle-
baum and stranger walking along the
road and in an opposite direction from
the Griffith residence, toward a coal
mine. This is said to have occurred
just a short time after the hour at
which the burglary is alleged to have
taken place. Duhlebaum refuses to
make any statement as to the party who
was with him.

Suddenly.

ket street Mr.. Mcintyre was an old
resident of Canton and for many years
he was one of Cantons most popular

dent which occurred nearly three weeks
ago, to relinquish it. A severe fracture
of the leg occasioned his removal to

ARCHITECT TILDEN CALLED.
He Explains Plans That Were Made
Several Years Ago.
COTTAGE PLANS CONSIDERED.
The Old Main Building viii BE Replaced
BY a New Administration Structure
OF by Number of smaller
Cottages-C ON missioners
Ready to Act.

At last 1t has been practically settled
in the minds of the county commission
ers that Stark county must have a new
infirmary. For ten years the project Of
building a new structure to take the
place of the old buildings now at the
poor farm has been constantly before
the commissioners. The old buildings
have become so dilapidated that they
are in constant need of repairs and be-
sides they are considered very detri-
mental to health. The infirmary direc-
tors have been clamoring for new build
ings for years, but the commissioners
have not had the money to go ahead
and have hesitated to go into such a
large expenditure as the buildings
would call for.
They have now, however, about con-
cluded that the matter cannot be longer
delayed. No official action has been
taken, but the commissioners have TAX
en- up the question in earnest and pro-
pose to do something.
Several years ago plans were made by
Architect Tilden for a complete, ..Ifirm-
ary and he was paid $4,000 for the work.
The county still has the plans, but
nothing has ever been done with them.
To have followed them out at the time
would have cost the county a mint of
money, but is probable that part of the
original ideas may be employed now.
Mr.. Tilden was called over and spent
part Of Tuesday forenoon with the COM
missioners explaining the old plans.
The thing that is most needed is
new building to take the place of the
main structure. The architect has ex-
tensive plans for this and he was busy
telling the commissioners how it could
be put up as a whole or divided and the
buildings constructed on the cottage
plan. This idea of having a lot of
small buildings instead of one large one
is finding favor in many quarters, and
the commissioners and infirmary di-
rectors have given it much thought
with reference to the solving Of the
present building problem for the in
firmary.
If the cottage plan is adopted the
buildings would not all have to be
erected at once, and 1t would not neces-
state large issue of bonds Mr.. Til
den went all over the plans and the
commissioners will duly consider the
matter and see what can be done.

CONVICT'S TROUSERS.
They We're Discovered Tuesday
Night Lying In Nimisilla
n Park.

No trace has been secured by the
workhouse guards of the prisoner nam
ed Love who escaped from that institu-
tion last week. However, on Tuesday
night pair Of trousers which had
been worn by Love. were found in MINI
isila park, where 1t appears they had
been thrown by the man, who probably
had secured change of clothing
through outside help. The workhouse
officials are mystified as to Loves man
ner OF escaping and an investigation
will be made as to his present wherea-
bouts, as he may probably be in the
vicinity.
