CARS
To be Run Around
the Square.

It is probably but matter of short
time until all street cars which come
to the down town district will be run
around the square formed by Market,
Howard, Mill and Main sts. This plan
is followed in Cleveland and other
cities. and would be decidedly and un-
doubtedly popular innovation in Ak
ron.
1t is proposed In this event, to give
good at any point along the square.
The statement was made Friday that
the plan has been for some time under
consideration, and Is favorably looked
upon.

SARAH'S HUNTING OF THE

In the mud of his native bayou,
When over the bottom came creeping
The shade Of stellthy canoe,
Awakened, and skyward up glancing,
The saurian Guiyercd to mark
\ lady Of beauty enhancing,
Poised lily-like over the bark.
She bent to the waters her forehead,
She pcercd in the turbulent tide;
The gators cool pulses grew torrid;
"By Joye! What a stunnerl" he cried.
Spellbound by the wonderful stranger,
by the magic that dwet in her glance,
Transhxed and unconscious Of danger,
The gator rose up in trance.
Rose up through the substrata sooty,
Rose mesmenzed, muddy aud mailed,
Blind captive to genius and beauty
Thus the hypnotized gator was nailed!
Be kind TO the gator, ohl lady
Twas under thy spell he arose,
From his lair meath the wpter,weeds shady,
To be ruthlessly grabbed by the nosei

considerably different from that of the

which have benefited by the change
the Scranton Bicycle club is head and

that a member of one of these clubs

rollers to plod along at a rather in
different pace, and then make a great
rally, while one of the team makes a
magnificent squirt and lands a big 200
