Owing TO curious trick of the
types a portion of President Stanley
Halls thoughtful address to the
Ministerial League appeared in a Wor-
cester, (Mass) paper as follows:
"rhe heart has pantheistic impulses,
but all these in an ideal theology are
given due place aud subordiuated to
personality, which is the supreme
affirmation of the human soul, Tell
Mac to send up the Circus tickets"
81 saw Mayor Doyle at the prize
fight the other night said the OBJ
serving Citizen. He"
Hush, not so loud! 1t was a box
ing contest demonstrated the
Thoughtful Individual Moreover
who had better right to go to the
contest than Mayor Doyle? Didn't
he issue the permit for itf Didn't
he have complimentary ticket!
What would you have him do with it,
throw it away?'
ooh, stop your protesting the OBJ
serving Citizen Indignantly exclaimed
II was only about to remark that the
Mayor was probably getting some
pointers for his boys club

In little Western town, the other
day. the most popular citizen soundly
whipped tough character, and to
vindcate the majesty of the law the
offender was brought up for trial. The
Jury was out about two minutes.
We'll" said the Judge, what have
the jury to say?' MAY it please the
court responded the foreman, I'VE
the jury, find that the prisoner is not
guilty of hittin' with intent to kill,
but simply to paralyze; and he done
! It," The verdict was received with
applause. Another quaint verdict was
recently rendered in n rural settlement
IN Georgia. The case was before the
Coroner and the jury found that the
deceased came to his death by tryin'
to light his pipe by a electric light,
which can't be done successful"

"Forty-tbree ladies' and twenty four
gentlemen took the teachers eXamina-
[ tion here last Saturday and took u
. whirl at the questions published in
this ISSUE" says the Ashland Press.
Just how this "whirling" act is per
formed the Press does not state. Su-
periDtendenr Hotchkiss says 1t is nc
! part OF the examination as required
by law. and that it is not u feature of
the Summit county examinations. He
is not sure that experience in that
particular branch of education would
be an especially valuable recommended
ton for teacher. However the
School Board should appoint Col. l. c.
Gibbons a committee of one to visit
Ashland county and investigate this
matter If there are improvements
! in educational methods of which Ak,
ron has not the benefit, the public
should know the reason.

"Unless am very much mistaken,
said the Observing Citizen, today
the reported eating of unleayened
bread In the sacrlsry of an East Ak,
ron Church by an East Akron boy
will be the signal for another yolley
| from Col. Gibbons and Capt. Walker
This incident affords sufficient material
for a whole new chapter under ths
e head of Saving the Boys Accord
e ing to our newly discovered students
of criminology the Akron boy is on the
down grade and going so fast thai
a it will take "a whole Salvation Army tc
= head him off This holding up to the
juvenile element of the city the idea
that they are tough and are certain
j to develop into bad citizens IN spit,
+ of all the Aid Societies and Rescu,
S Missions that can be put into the tielc
to save them, is the very thing tina
ought to be avoided by the real friends
s to the boys"
