WHY A sTENoGRAPHER?

Young man--you who are thinking of a business course-we want you to stop and think of the chances which the fu- ture presents.
 It is true that the principal work of the commercial colleges is bookkeeping Bus have you ever considered the rela- tive opportunities which life offers to two young men, one bookkeeper ana the other stenographer2 The book keeper has to do with figures of busi- T. ss only. and though he be faithful. at the end of ten years he is book keeper still Chained to the bookkeep- CTS stool he finally becomes incapable of regarding business in any other light than a column of figures, to be added and carried as quickly and accurately as possible.
 Not so the stenogfapher. The corre- spondence often does not begin until late in the day, as 1t is mainly relative to the business of the day and in an- swer to the mail of that day. Thus a bright male stenographer becomes a general utility man." He is in the confidence of the firm and their trusted clerk in a vast number of important matters. Well equipped mentally he is soon shoved on, and ere long is quite out of sight of the ordinary stenog- raphcr.t Tn time he Is fin the business " Enquire into the matter. Ask old and experienced men which line-stenogra phy or bookkeeping-will bring young man in closer touch with firms busi' ness and pave the way to active busi- ness life.

Good reports are heard from the Union gold mine, better known as the Luke mine. in the Bradshaws. forty two miles southeast of Prescott. MT. Iod Metcalf of Phoenix is now there su. perintcnding it's operation and prepar- ing for further development.
 The new owners of the property have Incorporated. the official roster of the company being William J. Rainey pres ident, s. Carkeek vice president, Harry A. Eastman secretary,- P. Ma gel treasurer and w. H. Hosking di- rector The offices of the company are in Detroit, Mich.
 A party of experts recently visited the property, and from the'r report the fol lowing facts regarding the mine are taken. It consists of two claims. and the mineral lode extends the entire length of one of the claims, the outcrop- 1 pings being visible the whole distance.
 The other is claim commencing about 300 feet southwest of the north east extremity of the former claim and extending 900 feet further southwest across ravine or gulch, furnishing an ideal place for a mill at the mouth of the tunnel. The opening consists of a tunnel 800 feet into the mountain with an uprise between 75 and 100 feet on the lode towards the mountain top 30 feet up in this uprise a stope has been driven about 40 feet northeast and | southwest on the lode. This uprise is started about 150 feet in from the mouth of the tunnel where an excellent shoot of high grade ore was encountered which extends into the tunnel 300 feet from this point
 The ore Is a sulphuret carrying galena in which are found gold, silver and cop per, gold and silver being the principa minerals sought after. There are three distinct ledges on this property. work only being done on the center one oi the three, the others being 30 feet tC the south and 100 feet to the north. | is the opinion of eminent mining engi neers that as depth is attained thes' three lodges will converge into one maiI body of great strength and richness.
 The Crown King mine. located bu 800 feet away. has been working fo | and has paid for the past 12 years iron s1s.C00 to s3O000 per month in dividends The experience of this mine is that a 1 depth Is attained the ledge become more solid and uniform and frequent, pockets of gold quartz are encountered running as high as sI6,000 per ton. A survey has been made for an ex : tension of the Phoenix X Prescott rail road from Mayer to Crown King, and is believed that this road will be bull inside of one year.

BAD BLOOD, BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the sarle cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin.
 To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic aad potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per ,nanently the ugly blotclies and the red, disfguring pimples.

necticut. He was of very kind heart,
and very considerate of the wants of
the poor. When poor people came to
him for medicine or advice, he did all
he could for them free of charge. After
he left Canton in about 1880, he mani
tested his great interest in the poor
by leaving his whole property in Canton
for the benefit of the poor. That is
the way we got the Hartford

from the New England states about
1920. He died five or six years there
after. DIR. John Coulter, who is remem.

DR. Joseph Simmons was one of our
early doctors in Canton, and was quite
competent and very fine appearing
man. He did not succeed, however, in
getting very large practice and in
the course of three years he went to
Cincinnati, and after several years
practice there. went to st. Louis. where
he built up quite large practice which
he continued until his death about 25
years ago.

his wife was Sarah b. Earl, formerly

DIR. John Bonfield had at one time been
a surgeon in the army and was a well
informed man, but was quite peculiar

VILLAGE.

The question has often been asked
who were the first doctors to locate IN
Canton and vicinity. l think the first
physician who settled in Canton was
DR.. Andrew Rappee. who came from
Baltimore in 1908. He was a native of
France, and his wife was Mary Shorb
sister of John and Joseph Shorb. who
were among our first merchants, and of
Adam A. Shorb. the potter. DIR.
Rappee was the father of the late Mrs
Henry H. Myers and Mrs. George Faber,
who after the death of Mr.. Faber, mar
ried V. r. kimball a leading merchant
here. John S. Rappee, the only son, set
tied in Little Sandusky and was quite
successful in trade with the Indians
who then abounded in that part If
Ohio
Dr.Rappee opened the first drug store
in Canton. He lived and had his store
in a two-story building that stood on
the northwest corner of Seventh and
Market streets, where Mr.. Abt now has
his millinery store. DR.. Rappee got rp
quite a reputation for his eye salve,
known at one time quite extensively as
"Dr. Rappee's Invaluable Eye Salve."
think Mr.'H. II. Myers, his son-in-law,
has had some of this remedy for sale
in later years. Old Mrs. Rappee ives
fond of telling the story that when this
first house was built on the northwest
corner of Seventh and Market streets,
the cellar was dug by an Indian squaw.

Gardener was tried. condemned and
sentenced to public execution. E.as-
tus Cone. an aged man, living in Hart
ford. CT, was witness at the trial, and
recalls how next to impossible IL was
to find impartial jurymen. Even Gar
dener's nearest friends had openly con-
demned him before his trial.
According TO the law of those days,
a murderer's execution took place at
the seat of the county in which the
crime was committed. Gardener was
hanged late in the fall OF 1892. on bluff
in Warren, overlooking the Mahoning
river. His was one of the first execu-
tions to occur on the reserve, and the
only one that has ever taken place in
Tyumbull county. Folks thronged from
Cleveland and all parts of northern
Ohio and northeastern Pennsylvania
to ATTEND it.
1t is said that Ira Gardener repented
his atrocious crime on the scaffold. and
sung hymns in rich tenor voice until
his end.
Strange to say. for a long time after
his execution his body could find no
resting place From Kinsman, where
water washed them above ground, the
murderer's remains were taken to An
dover, only to be threatened by grave
robbers. and moved again, supposedly
to some lonely, spot in Pennsylvania.
Yet, no one really knows to-day where

before that time. II was claimed that
he had been a surgeon in Napoleon's

People Wondering Who
the Old Man Was.
RECALLS A CRIME
That Yves c Committed Years AGO
and for Which the Guilty
Person Paid the Ex-
tPeme Penalty.

Kenilworth, O., May s7.-The return
of Decoration day is a reminder not
only that the old soldiers are fast pass
ing away, but that the old land marks
which have figured in the early history
of Ohio are rapidly disappearing. Only
of late years have patriotic societies
done much to stay the ravishes Of time
upon places of historical or tradition
ary interest. For more than twenty
years, the grave Of Frances Maria
Buell., whose beauty and virtue have
been celebrated by poem and story. and
with those death is connected one of
the darkest crimes of early Western
Reserve history. had been neglected.
Last summer, however. an unknown
man visited the old cemetery, in the
northeastern corner of Trumbull coun-
ty, where the young girl lies; and made
a crude attempt at fixing up" the girls
grave. He took away the old fence
that surrounded IL: Strengthened the
dizzy slabs, and laid bricks over the
myrtle grown sod. Some children Of
Gustavus township promised to decor
ate the grace on the return of each
3Oth of May SO long as they are able
Then the old man went away, and wis
seen in the neighborhood no more.
Whether he was a son of Maria
Buell's lover or a representative Of
some historical society is not known.
Anyway, for his care. the girls grave
will be longer identifiable; and for a
few Decoration days, at least, will be
decked with flowers.
