A Fowl That Was Hardly to Blame
For Proving Tough


The swan is said to be excellent eat
Ing when young. but as 1t is one of the
longest lived Of all creatures it is well
to learn II possible how old your bird
is before you cook 1t.
A gentleman In Lincolnshire, Eng
land, sent dead swan to the Athena
UNI club, addressed to the secretary. A
special dinner was to occur that week,
and the committee without question
turned the bird over to the cook.
At the dinner the swan. resting on a
great silver dish. was delight to the
eye, but when it came to carving and
eating the bird no knife seemed sharp
enough 10 cut II, and of course eating
1t was out of the question.
A few days later the donor met the
secretary and said, II hope you got my
swan all right"
"rhat was nice joke you played on
u.s." returned the secretary.
"Joke? What do you meanT
"Why, we had the thing boiled for
thirteen hours, and even then we
might as well have tried to cut through
the rock of Gibraltar"
"You don't mean to say you had the
swan cookedw
"Why, OF course"
"Man alive! sent 1t to be stuffed

that rule
Capt. Hiltabidle went TO Cleveland
this morning to attend the annual
reunion of 32nd degree NIasons at
the Masonic temple IN Cleveland this
afternoon and tonight. Il see nothing
at present to lead me to believe that
there is any danger of the canal be-
ing abandoned by the present Legisla-
turc," says the Captain. The fact
that the partial appropriation bill,
submitted by the Finance committee,
contained no appropriation for canal
repairs, was nothing to surprise any
one, for during the - years that l
have been familiar with the workings
Of the Legislature, but three times

ton bill to appropriate money for
canal repairs. | have seen the pros
pectus of the bill that Attorney Gen
eral Sheets Is preparing, aud that
Representative Painter, of Wood
county, will introduce, asking for the
abandonment of the canals, the Board
of Public Works, and the entire canal
system of the State. | don't believe
1t will stand ghost of q show of be-
coming law, for no body of rcpresen-
tativc men, such as compose the pres
cnt Legislature, would even contem-
plate making law of so iniuuitous
and destructive u measure. ] believe
that the canal question needs Just such
discussion as 1t is now receiving, and
that it will result in great good, and
| hope in final action, beneficial to the
Public Works of Ohio. The present
Legislature is not unfriendly to the
canals, and only want to understand
their duties in the matter and will
then, | believe, do 1t fearlessly. While
our fiscal year viii end next Friday,
and there Is no provision made for
compensation after that date, for the
employees of the Public Works, / am
sure that no one will think OF leaving
his post of duty. The same conditions
have prevailed almost every year since
| have served AS superintendent, and
no one has ever deserted heretofore,
and | have no fear of their doing so
now. Should the Legislature make
the grave mistake of forgetting to
make an appropriation to reimburse
MS for our services, we might join with
Akron's police, firemen, ETC., etc, and
always have something due for ser
vices rendered.

Akron the Summit county lakes and

sible, but almighty improbable. If the
citizens of Akron and Barberton would
unite in an effort To have these lakes

laws OF Ohio, they could easily secure
any reasonable water rights they
might desire, and at the same low
rates they are now paying the state"

Especial Correspondence
Columbus, o., Feb. 13.-There will
be no obstruction tactics tried by the
Democratic members of the House Of
Representatives in retaliation for the
turli-down given the Cleveland park
bond bill by the Republicans Tues
day. This was decided after a long
and somewhat stormy caucus held by
the Democrats yesterday afternoon.
Before the ire of the Democrats at
the action of the Republicans, had
cooled, Representative sharp, of Fair
field proposed that the Democrats get
back by voting against the appropria-
tion bills and all other measures that
the Republicans are particularly anX-
ious to have passed. BY so doing he
declared that the Republicans could be
taught that it was a mighty danger
Gus game to monkey with bills that
were purely local, just because such
bills had been introduced by Dem
ocratic members. OF course the Cuya-
hoga delegation int least a majority of
1t, was in favor of such action AS the
hold-up of their park bond bill after
IL had been recommended for passage
by the Municipal Affairs committee,
cut them deep--very deep. and they
were ready for anything TO get even.
There were a few of the other men,
bers who also thought the plan good
one and the caucus was accordingly
called
There were 30 Democrats present and
for over three hours fhcy discussed tile
matter behind closed and locked doors.

passage.

Review Of me winter.

Tuesday, April, Ist, Ioo7.-The
weather during the winter has been
unusually severe. The month of
December was the coolest with the
greatest amount of precipitation
recorded In this state during the
last II years. the temp .rature be-
ing 8 5 degrees below the normal
and the precipitation nearly 8
inches above. Wnile there was no
very cold weather In January, yet
the ground was frozen most of the
month, and In February, 1t was
frozen from IL to 20 inches In
depth. Snowy, cold and rai1y
weather prevailed until the 2oth of
March. SO that practically no farm
work was done during the winter
up to that time. After the cold
weather of The 18th of March, the
ground dried out rapidly, and dur
ing the fourth week, blowing,
mostly for oats. was generally In
progress; some oats were also sown,
some potatoes planted and some
gardening done.
Reports indicate that winter
wheat. oats and rye are generally
In bad coodition. This Is due to
the late sowing In the fall to pre-
vent the ravages of the fly, and to
lack of moisture during October
and November. which were very

fairly well, although there has been
some loss among sheep, and feed is
getting scarce In some localities.
