Editor Blue of the Perrysburg Jour-
nal, refers to Toledoans as 1.-The inhab-
Itants of the city that robbed Maumee
of her court house, her business, her
glory, and her former prospects OF be-
ing II CITY," He need but to posses his
soul in patience; for the dawn appears
of the day when the present Toledo,
filcher of the past prospects OF both
Maumee and Perrysburg, will in It's
turn become "a has been." The signs
point to a coming city at the mouth OF
the Maumee river and between that
stream and the Lake Erie, with har-
Dor piers and all facilities for loading
aud unloading vessels, below the pres
ent loug river channel and bridge OBJ
structions. | see vision OF growing
metropolis down on the bay, the with
drawal of most OF the commercial life
from Toledo. and the retribution falling
upon the city located by land-sharks,
and eyer incapable of freeing itself from
the spirit OF its birth. When the abom-
inaton of desolation overcomes Toledo
both Perrysburg and Maumee and other
pcilts up the river will become tho ia
VOriLc locations for the villa residences
OF tho commercial princes of the new
metropolis. Take comfort, Blue, you
may live to sec the putting in of the
ground work OF the picture. The ma
to'ial ior the painting is already being
collected.
The above item taken from the SEN
tinel sounds trfle "foggy," but may,
possibly, prove true in time. Stranger
things have happened aad the future OF
Toledo would not prove more strange
than the past, in case the business part
Of the city should moye toward the lake
as predicted by the Sentinel writer.
The location on the bay is the most SEN
sibla for city whose business Is s0
greatly Identified with the lakes.

SCHOOL NOTES.
What are the Children Doing
and Learning?

When Daniel Webster was small
boy, he received very good start in
oratory on the rostrum OF the Little
Red School House that he attended.
In those days the mothers and fathers
favored the scholars with their pres
ence and helped applaud the best speak
err until his heart and head swelled
with pride.
True it is that Daniels are born rath-
ar than made but the discovering and
bringing out OF any oratorical talent is
work of the school. Rhetoricals give
speaker drill In expression Of thought
while standing before an audience, and
make him confident OF his ability.
However harshly a pupil may condemn
the necessity Of taking part in the ex-
ercises he realizes that there is great
deal OF benefit to be derived from them.
Parents should encourage their sons
and daughters by attending the rhe-
toricals. Their presence adds life to
them and causes each to do his best.
The Christmas program in each
grade will be extra good and entertain
ing to all who may attend.

We can prove that there lives in
this locality one hunter who will tell
the truth. During the quail season
which closed recently the JOURNAL
was regaled with numerous stories OF
wonderful success Of various hunters
who had tramped the fields and filled
the air with shot in their endeavOr TO
kill birds,-not one OF whom reported
lees than dozen birds after being out
'onIy few hOurs"-until our friend,
truthful Thomas Frusher made his re-
port. He claimed that Chas. Champ
ney and Chas. Mills came out 10 his
place one day we'll equipped with guns,
ammunition, dogs and good appetites
and intimated that they wanted Frusher
to go out for hunt. After taking a
light lunch the three men made tour
OF fields and woods, returning at the
close OF day without seeing or hearing
a solitary "bob white" during the en-
tire days hunting. The JOURNAL man
felt that Frusher was entitled to a
prize for giving true report OF the
days experience, Notwithstanding the
report that 'Frusher had coaxed all the
quail OF thai locality into an old barn
und had them shut In where they were
being protected from the hunters, and
he had taken the boys where he knew
they would find no game.

There is a certain parent who is sure
his young hopeful is bound to be q

saw for books. The truth OF the mat

parental nose. he can tell more about
''Nick and his faithful helper Chick"
in one minute than he can about the
Discovery OF America, in two days and
a night. He is authority on Frank

his special delight.
II any parent desires an amateur
''sleuth 'ishadowing around the house

which comes the metallic laugh ever
and anon he should feed his hopefuls on
these papers. 1t is needless 10 add
that the "leary glim" becomes vacant
stare and the metallic laugh is simply
the resounding of the vessel from which
it comes. Is there such boy in your

Editor Fassett o. the Toledo Critic,
WIS held up by man who sileuced him
by giving chloroform and then took his
watch and one dollar in money. There
have, heretofore, been many grave
charges made against Toledo, but this
is certainly the worst case ever report
ed. The idea that an editor should
have dollar in his pocket is something
awful. This unequal distribution OF
wealth should be remedied even II 1t
is necessary to resort TO chloroform.
This incident may also serve as point
er for some OF those Toledo politicians
who have long desired to have B rother
Fasset keep quiet.

 Some children like it too we'll; begin with a little. A half or quarter-teaspoonful is enough at first, if the stomach is weak; but increase, as you find the stomach will bear.
