should prove such fool.' he moanet
as he leaned against the shell of kind
neighbor slug who had accompanied
him in search for his lost son.
The slug gently famed his fainting
friend with his tail. When the Old
mail had sufficiently revived, he said:
This nosense must stop. leave him
here till morning, he will be devoured
h. some bird or snake"
Just then it began to rain. The Old
Snail and the slug retired TO the heal
by shelter of stone, but soon the spot
on which Master Snail was perehed
was drenched with water, and he was
washed away. He could scarcely
breathe for the rain that kept pouring
in through the holes at the sides OF
his shell. Quickly kicking out the door
of his house, he hurried away to place
of safety. He was so frightened he did
not at first notice that he was not
the only refugee. When he looked up,
he saw the round, beady eyes of his IA
ther waving on their long stalks toward
him.
"Well,' demanded the Old Snail GRIM
ly, so you have come out of the chrys-
ais stage at last. But l don't notice
the butterfly wings yet.
ooh, dear, we been a foolish young
Snail! Take me home, and I'll never
run away from our log any more
don't want to live in a brush and get
raihed on"
I'm glad you've learned a little
sense with experience. It's the most
valuable sense an obstinate, conceited
snail like yourself can ever gain. we
will go home when the rain ceases.
And the prodigal went home. sad
der and humber but a wiser snail.

Electric Railway.

The citizens of this city and those
living in this vicinity have commenced
to realize the proposition before Coun-
eli, and see now that if this frAnchise
is given the Ohio Rapid Transit Com
bany that it will virtually stop all other
companies from coming into this city.
The general opinion of the public is
that the north end of the city be left
open, so that all electric railway COM
panies should be given the privilege to
enter this city. rhe public also think
that the new roads proposed by the
county commissioners should be fully
considered before the City Council gives
away this valuable franchise, and prob
ably stop the railroads from building
new roads without expense to the pub
lie These matters should be fully con-
sidered by Council and their action re-
garding same should not be hasty.
The public only asks that these valu-
able franchises be given in a way that
will benefit the city.

Young Snail did not agree With his
father. He declared, Time ami tide

quoted, The more hurry the less speed"
And they were even on arguments.
The snail lived each in his little
brown shell, with its spiral staircase,
up which he backed in ease of danger.
Eyes were set high aoove the fleshy
head on two long stalks called stenta-
Giles, which could be drawn in when the
snail fed before an enemy. An aper-
ture in the side of the shell allowed tns

A. Curtiss, Mrs M. A. Strong, and Mrs A. R. Humphrey of Warren. He was born October 27, 1919, did duty as en- sign(color sergeant)in the old time militia, which only our oldest inhahi- tants can now remember. He was married January 2l, 184a, to Jennett Cole of Kent and they set up their Lares and Penates in the house where they live together 59 years, and where he died, within two miles of where he, his father, grandfather, and great grandfather were born and died. His great-grandfather was one of the mem- berS of the convention that ratified the constitution of the United States at Hartford 1788; was major in the Revolution, taking with him his son Augustine, (grandfa ther of the subject of this sketch) aged IA years, as his waiter, until he was old enough to en- list, when he also entered the service MT Curtis was an eminently social man I always enjoying chat with his friends and cordially welcoming them to his home, where his wonderfully retentive memory enabled him to entertain them time." He united with the Congrega- tional church of Warren 40 years ago and has always been a regular and liberal supporter of the same, and a constant attendant till the infrmities of age forced him to give up his life long habit. His knowledge of the Bi- ble was wonderful and few 'liberally educated people of this day of any pro fession could vie with him in this study. Six years ago his golden we'd ding was celebrated. His wife still 1 lives to mourn his loss; also daughter, Mrs V, F. McNeil of New Haven, who will soon take her mother to her city home and the farm must go to strang- CTS, as have so many others in this vii cinity.
