to meet the men who have done so much
toward bringing about this increase.
congratulate you and hope it will he
tenfold greater during the next ten
years.
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that for our increase in population
in the future we must depend upon our
cities and towns. OF the $4,000 in
crease in Ohio during the last decade
all but 1000 has been in the cities and
towns. The urban population of Ohio
is now AZ per cent of the whole, and it
will not be long until more than the
half of the people will live in the cities.
The mills and factories of Ohio give
employment to 124, 900 men and %, 900
females, and $S04,000,000 are paid out
annually in wages, and our future pros
perity depends to large degree upon
our manufactures.
But we % not depend upon our manu-
| factories and commerce for our great
ness. 1t takes some thing else. We
must have good men and good citizen
ship behind these. Take Ohio and this
city. 1t is prouder Of the great man
who is president today than of our
manufactures. We are prouder of our
! good men and women than we are of
our wealth. We should have a citizen
ship that would aid in seeing that all
laws are enforced. We should see to II
that educational and religious interests
are fostered and made better.
But while we are proud Of our homes
our cities and our state, we should re-
member that Ohio Is but one in forty
five that constitute the nation. There
should be an allegiance to the nation
greater than to the state, and then the
republic will continue to grow and
flourish even more rapidly than 1t has
in the past.
! thank you, gentlemen, for the cor.
dial reception you have rendered me
and desire to express the hope thai
Canton and Stark county may have al
the happiness and prosperity that be
long to them"

THE GUM CHEWING cow.
Owner Thought the Habit Had Worn
All Her Upper Teeth
on

A farmer in Knox county, Me-, has
oocn saying mean hing, about a Rock
aud shipmastcr, and Opinion reports
I few. Quoth the farmer. "If had
/ hired man that made such piece Of
work as he did about that COW of his,
I'd send him Off!
Why be bought "A cow Of a man
down my way; good crittcr- nothin'
the matter with her. But it seems the
captains wife, one day, thought the
milk tasted funny, and suggested that
p'r'aps she'd been eatin' spruce
coughs; said tho milk tasted like
spruce. And what does he do but 90
out in,the pasture to watch the COW,
to sec what she did eat.
"The COW was lynn down, chcwin'
her cud, and he went along and run
his finger in her mouth to see what she
was eatin'. Then he was mad. He put
a rope on the COW, and started off with
her.
"Where are you goin' with the
cows says a neighbor.
"'Goin' to take her back TO the fell
Ier that sold her TO me. He's cheated
me, and won't stand it,
THE man wanted to know what wa
the matter, aud he went on To tell
about it. She wasn't eatin' boughs,
he says, she was chewing gum; that's
what's the matter with the milk and
makes it taste like spruce. And he
says, that amt all She's so addicted
TO the habit that she's worn all her
teeth out. She amt got an upper
tooth in her head Back she goes,
quick
"Of course, the.man told him that it
was all nonsense; that cows never had
no upper teeth. lIut he didn't believe
a word of it, and went on and had a
tarnal row with the man that sold him
the cow. Guess he was never satisfied
about it."

COLORED FLAGPOLES.
Tall Stats of Red and Even of Green
Are Now Occasionally TO
he Soon.

"White is, of course, still the prevail
ing color for painting tlagpoles, said
flag pole man, according TO the New
York Sun, but You see nowadays more
colored Tag poles than you used to, and
/ don't know but what | like the colored
tlagpoles pretty well. White is, sup
pose, after all the proper color for a
tlagpole The white pole seems 10
stand up more mast like and defiant,
but the colored pole is more pictur-
eSque.
THE poles that thus far have been
painted in other colors than white have
most of them been painted red, terra
Gotta red. And in my judgment this
deep red is a pretty good color for a
flagstaff Red is good COLOR to stand
exposure; it shows wear less than
white does, and so the people paint EN-
red.
"As to green, that must say seems
AT first like an odd and inappropriate
color for a flagstaff surrounding
building; nevertheless, pole in dark
green may he a di1nilied and slightly
object, and there is one advantage per
tanning TO green pole, namely, il
shows off the gilt top piece. if there is
one, TO fine advantage. have in mind
one dark green pole upon the summit
of which rising above the gilded me-
tallic fixture indicating the points Of
the compass, is fine, gilded eagle,
this whole top piece Of gold showing
very Strikingly and effectively by con-
trast with its dark green support"

An Eighfcen-Hour Recitation.

Prof Arlini, Of Naples, has just per-
formed a remarkable feat. Some time
ago he offered to make bet that he
could recitc the whole of Dante's
Divine Comedy" by heart. His abiI-
ity to do this was doubted and his
wager was taken up. A select au-
dience was invited to hear the pro-
fessor, who detained from eight
o'clock in the evening until two
o'clock the next afternoon. The re-
otter stopped occasionally, but it was
not because he had forgotten the
poem; it was simply to moisteu his
tongue with sugared water. He won
rs wager, for the audience had to
confess that he got through the $4,000
verses, more or less, of which the
poem is composed, without the least
difficulty.

FAMOUS LONDON BANK.
Depository for Money That Has
Figured i'm Eng iish Romance
and History.

If Londoners have any real senti-
ment to waste it should rather be
directed toward the approaching
demolition of the time-honored
though frowning and repellent front
age of Coutts' bank. The name of it
conjures up the thoughts of heaps
of gold second only in size and ampli-
tude to those of the Bank of England.
Is not Coutts' the largest private
bank in England, and has it not a
more extensive connection than any
other with the mobility and landed
~entry?" TO possess "a snug bank
ing account at Coutts'" has been the
stock synonym for riches with all the
novelists of the nineteenth century,
says the London Telegraph.
Great Gaorge our King" opened an
account with the shrewd old Scotch
man who not only founded a bank,
but founded family by marrying
each of his three daughters to men
of title. The duke of Wellington
was another of his most famous
clients, and DR.. Johnson and Sir Wal
ter Scott banked their moneys in his
keeping. The history of such an in
stitution. could it ever be written,
would. be far more interesting than
any romance.
II is understood that the building
viii not be wholly destroyed, and the
most notable features of the interior
will, of course, be preserved. These
include costly marble chimney pieces
of the horid Cipriaui school and
valuable collection of portraits of the
friends Of the founder of the bank,
while the dining-room is described
as being "hung with Chinese subjects
on papers which were sent to Mr.,
Coutts by Lord Mccartney while on
his embassy to China in 1920

TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
HcNt Year Will Conclude the Second,
Centennial of the Rus
sian Press.

On the Goth of December. 1902, the
Russian press will have the oppor-
tunity of celebrating its two hun
drtdth anniversary. 1t was on that
Cay in the year 1902 that Peter the
Great signed the ukase ordaining the
publication of the first Russian news
paper, the News on Military and OH
CT Matters" A few days later the first
number of this official Russian news
paper was issued, and from January
10. 1903, it appeared regularly both H.
Petersburg and Moscow. This first
russian newspaper, by the way. had
but<a short life. The news ceased to
appear in I'LL, says London paper.
Already preparations are being
made in the Russian empire for
worthy celebration of this jubilee. The
photographed society of Moscow
plans the publication of a magnificent
work, containing a list of all the Rus
sian newspapers published from 1902
to 1902, and adorned with the pictures
of prominent journalists and publish
ers. The net proceeds of the sale of
the work are to be used as fund for
supporting needy journalists. They
also intend to arrange on this occasion
newspaper exhibition at Moscow.
