CANTON is in the thick Of an argu-
ment about its city court. The court
has been in existence, but has not
been active and has been presided
over by Judge who gave the use of
his name without compensation with
the understanding that he would have
no duties 70 perform. 1t is now pro-
posed to make the court an active one
and an election will be called to decide
whether judge will be chosen at a
salary of 81, 800 per year. It is ex-
Pected that the court would then cost
from 81, 600 to $4,000 per year &C.
cording to different estimates, and
the argument is whether it is worth
while. Under the state law such 8
city court is given jurisdiction simply
over the territory in the corporate
limits, but is empowered to adjust
property rights, redress wrongs or
punish criminals. 1t is held that
many cases now decided in county or
circuit court could be tried in the
city court with great saving of cost
to the ligitants.

ONE of JaPan's influential citizens,
who has been travelling in this couu-
try, says that strikes are unknown in
the happy land of Mikado. In this
fourisning and progressive republic
of ours strikes are unpleassntly ex-
tensive and numerous in this hot
month of July Is it not possible
that missionaries from the islands of
the chrysanthemum might give
Americans some valuable lessons in
the sweet reasonableness which sverts

CORPORATIONS whose tax valuations
Mayor Tom johnson has raised can
carry their cases to the state board of
revision. composed of the governor,
state auditor and attorney general.
This would add zest to a campaign
which promises to be unusually tame.
1t would also show that Tom knew
what he was at when he forced those
tax planks into the platform. Will
some democratic corporation tske the
steps necessary TO make the tax
planks the issue?-Cleveland Press.

The Daily Short Story
The Face of a Marquise.


at the masquerade a marquise OF the
time of Louis XIV fitted by Julian
Chestwick and disappeared in the
| throng. He haunted the rooms like an
unquiet spirit all the evening, until peo-
pie began to believe that the Hungarian
prince was a ubiqulty. but the face
shone upon him no more.

| gentleman who was particularly fond
of two things in this world-port and
his own way.
No" said Julian recklessly.
"And what the deuce is the reason?"
Because / love somebody else
''Whom?"
Julian looked awkward. He could
not very we'll say "a face" so he said
nothing at all. and I'm consequence
thereof his uncle went home in pas
sion and altered his will.
Miss Pearlfield married somebody
else, and Julian Chestwick worshiped
at the shrine OF the oval face, content
ed with its remembered smiles as they
haunted his dream.
81 shall see her some day" he told
himself, land until then / will wait"
When Field Pakenham invited him
down To Christmas party at Paken-
ham Court. Chestwick hesitated. In
New York his chances of realizing the
dream of his lifetime were as five TO
one compared TO any other place, and
yet he was too good a chess player not

When a man is seen running across the
streets and walking with decorum during
the rest of the time it must not be con-
cluded that he is nduIging in any particu-
lar ccccntricty or is the victim of nery-
Gus fear of passing vehicles He is mere
ly trying a system of physical exercise
which has recently found many adher-
ents and is believed to bring good results
Its chief merit is its simplicity, and it
can readily be combined with daily
walk such as many men take Running
instead of walking across every street is
one of the principles, and this is intended
to vary the monotony of the exercise that
comes from mere pedestrianism.
One Of its other important rules is that
the fingers be kept constantly in motion,
and close observers of the morning pa
rade down Broadway may frequently see
fingers twitching nervously, but in ac-
co"dance with a regular system not com
prehensibe TO the uninitiated. One col
lege athlete, famous oarsman in his
day. has lost none of his strength nor
health and looks now as vigorous as he
did a decade ago. He attributes to the
regular observance of this systems prin-
ciples his present physical condition.
Persons willing to foil ~ its simple
rules and attract the att, ltion that is
inevitable when a pedestrian takes to his
heels at every crossing and witches his
fingers constantly while he walks will
find the plan advantageous as a substi-
tute for more vigorous eXercise.-New
York Sun.

Mr.. Smitbkn had heard that a sure
cure for hiccough was a severe fright.
One evening. smoking ut his iiresde

cough, which continued in spite of all his
efforts to check it.
Presently he got up suddenly from his
chair and called out in alarm to Mrs.
Smithkn:
"I've lost my watch! I've lost my
watch"
Mrs. Smithkn fastened into the room.
"John. dear" said she, what do YOU
mean? Why. you haven't done any such

Miss Jessie Alderman the worlds or
ganizer for the Women's Christian Tenn
perance union, is regarded as one of the
greatest women travellers living. She has
gone around the globe twice and has been
in nearly every known country, and the
immense sum needed to defray the OK
penses Of these journeys has been raised
by her own efforts. Miss Alderman has
organized societies and held meetings in
Alaska, Australia, China, Egypt, Iceland,
India, Japan Malaysia, the Philippines,
Palestine, Siam, Tasmania and the
Transvaal. Her most startling expert
ence, however, was not gained in the line
of duty, she says, but in satisfying the
spirit Of adventure. At the great pearl
fisheries between Australia and Java a
fleet of pcaring ships and an army Of
divers are always at work, and Miss
Alderman expressed a desire TO visit the
bed of the ocean. Accordingly she was
locked in a divers suit and began to de-
scend, but the air had not been sufficiently
exhausted in the diving bell, and she found
herself going down headforemost. She
had the presence Of mind to pull the sig
nal cord vigorously and was drawn to the
surface with all possible speed.

With his heels where his head ought to be;
With down coming crash he maketh his mash,
And know he's clean gone upon me.
