For Thieves Are Me-
morlal Safes.
HAVE BEEN A FAILURE
Ever Since First lnstaIied--
One Stolen From Canton
Postoffice During
Thursday Night.

The little iron collection boxes
which were distributed by the McKin-
ley Memorial association for the small
contributions in public places have
proved to be complete failure. Not
only did they fail to produce any
money, but the boxes which were To-
Gated in the most prominent places
havo been robbed and several times
stolen bodily.
Three robberies Of the boxes were
discovered Friday morning by +. G.
Bockius, who has been in charge of
the contribution boxes for the Mcl<in-
ley memorial since they were first insti-
trted.
Some time during Thursday night,
the box which has been stationed in
the Canton posto.fce was torn from
the wall and carried away with what
ever money may have been placed in
it since February.
MANY BOXES STOLEN.
hurried examination of the city
showed that the boxes In Valley sta
ton on West Tuscarawas street and
In the woman's waiting room in the
Fort Wayne station had also been
stolen. Further examination which Is
now being made, it is thought will
develop that many more boxes have
been stolen.
The last collections from the boxes
were made in February, when small
returns were secured. Several hun
dred boxes were distributed about Can
ten and In several places 1t was agreed
by the people with whom the boxes
were left. that they would be pur-
chased for 81 when the collection was
completed.
1t has been decided to withdraw
the boxes from the public throughout
the state and a man Is now on the
road. He is Frank Purney and has
thus far reported very unfattering sue
cess In the cities that he has visited
to the south of Canton.
THEFTS ARE COMMON.
Mr. Purney has also encountered
quite few cases of robbery and
theft Of the contribution safes. In
Sprir gheld tho box in the Big -Four
railroad was broken open and the con-
fonts stolen. Purney shipped the box
to Canton and 1t Is on exhibition In the
memorial association offices.
OF the 100 boxes in Canton which
were examined Thursday and Friday.
but $14.77 was realized. This repre-
SCENTS the contributions received
through this source since February.
In the cities visited by Purney even
Iess return has been realized.
All the boxes will be lifted from the
places where they are now placed and
quarters at Canton. unless the people
who hold them prefer to retain them
for the purchase price of 81 each.
TO SELL BOXES.
An effort will be made to dispose OF
all the boxes as souvenirs of the Nc
Kinley memorial for 81 each. Purney
has gathered the boxes in the cities
that he has visited and has adver-
tised that they will be sold at certain
places in each city.
All the boxes that are returned to
Canton will be disposed of as SOU
venirs. II possible The sale will be
conducted In the memorial headquar-
ters.
Nothing is known of the robberies
of the contribution boxes in the post
oifice and the two railroad stations in
Canton except that they disappeared
Thursday night Boxes in Canton
have suffered severely from this source
ever since they were installed about
six months ago.

Die on their Nests.

According to MI. Stevenson, in very
wet summers swans often die on their
nests. cartridges occasionally do the
same; but as a rule birds forsake the
eggs when life on the nest becomes in
tolerable. Want Of food has also caused
a great mortality among the adult birds
Of certain kinds. 1t is reported from
France that the swallows have died in
great numbers. In this country, though
martins arrived at the usual time in
April, they declined in many districts to
thing of building. 1t was not until the
end of the third week in May, after a
days warm sun, that they began; then
they set to work,at, once. In both Suf-
folk and Cornwall about May 20 the
swifts were in extremities. Birds were
found clinging to walls and trees, some
numbed, others quite dead, though the
muscles remained rigid. No food what
ever was in their stomachs. Very few
swallows and swifts are to be seen over
the London Thames; what there are
have often been so weak that a distinct
difference can be seen in their flight,
which is slower, and with none of those
sudden flashes and darts in which by a
kind of CULVER of the. body a swallow or
swift seems able to put on steam at
fifty per cent. greater pressure, merely
for the pleasure Of the motion.-London

ART OF KEEPING COOL.
Common Sense Gives Immunity from
Heat Exhaustion,

With the approach of the dog days

from health boards, cold-blooded scien-

elements, the, advice Of these wise men

cool; don't get excited; don't eat any
thing that is heating; don't drink any
thing that is cooling; wear chiefly a
broad smile and wet sponge on the
head; don't move nor breathe except
when absolutely necessary-such are a
philosophy dished up from year to year
for the consumption of sweltering masses
in the great cities. OF all cants that are
canted during the silly season surely the
cant of keeping cool is the most aggra-
waiting.

Destruction Of verminil.' y

!. It is we'll known that many diseases
are propagated. by vermin. Flies trans

reports the results Of experiments on the
destruction OF vermin that are Of imme-

sist exposure for twenty four hours to an
atmosphere containing six grams Of for
mic aldehyde per cubic meter. With
eight grains a certain number died. All
persisted with nine grains per cubic me-
ter. The gas furnished by the burning
Of twenty-five grains Of sulphur per Gu
bic meter also destroyed all these pests.
Flies and mosquitoes are killed by two
grains of formic aldehyde per cubic me-
ter of air. Fleas are destroyed by seven
grains per cubic meter, or by burning
sulphur. Rats and mice are destroyed
by thirty six hours exposure to an at
mosphere containing fifteen grains OF for

full exposure Of thirty-six hours. must be
given; twenty -four hours is not sufficient.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE-BE.
FORE AND AFTER.

o pie, thou art goodly thing,
In proper time and place,
But i'll these days Of later spring.
Show not thy pasty face.
For what art thou, however filed
With apple, peach or mince,
However fanciful thy build,
Or rich thy many tints,
compared with that ambrosial dish
with layers made of dough,
Which gratifies the widest wish
Or .mortals here below?
Whose pastry strata drink up cream
Until they look like foam,
Whose bruised, delicious berries seem
10 taste OF youth and home. .
Substantial with it's biscuit base,
Delicious with its fruit,
No pie can such 4 dish replace,
With all the world to boot.
When Satan sought to torment man,
And spur him on TO crimes,
lie did not have to scheme and plan
A multitude of times.
For early sprang there in his mind
A recipe for pain,
Which was full cunningly designed
To drive a man insane.
He built yellow biscuit dough,
Both sticky, hard and thick,
Put berries over and below,
And 10, he had the trick.
For let but sage or fool partake
OF that alluring food,
He'll fold himself up close and make
His peace for well and good.
With such mixture once within
The stomach of man,
Let him renounce a life Of sin .
And evil il he can.

CANADA'S GREAT FOREST.
Timber Belt 1000 Miles Long Stretched
Across the Continent.

Many persons have wondered if the
stories are true about an immense north
ern belt Of timber stretching across Can
NADIA from the Atlantic to Alaska. 1t is
said that none of this forest has yet been
utilized by man, though it has immense
resources in pulp wood and other timber.
There is no DOUBT that the timber is
there, and that it is a great reserved
source of future wealth. One may easily
trace this belt Of timber far across Cana
da on any map.
The east end Of the belt almost over
hangs Atlantic waters to the north of the
Strait Of Belle Isle, and touches the wa
tiers Of the. gulf Of St. Lawrence, south
Of that strait. 1t sweeps westward round
the southern prolongation of Hudson
bay, known as James bay, northwest be-
tween Hudson bay and Lake Winnipeg,
to beyond the Churchill river and then
on across the lake regions of the north
west territories and still further to
Alaska. This mighty belt of trees is
about 1000 miles long and has an aver
age width of 100 miles. OF course, the
trees tend to become smaller in the
north.-New York Sun.

DEBIT AND CREDIT.
Suggestions, Serious and Otherwise, to
BoOk-Keeners


'"Narious suggestions have been made
tending to lessen the chances of posting
debit items on credit side, or vice versa, ~
says the Book-keepers' Journal, which is
published in Milwaukee by an associa-
ton OF accountants and which is edited
by Il. o. Bayer.
THE use OF coored inks seems at the
present time to be the only known rene
dy for the evil, and has been strongly
advocated as infaliible. Following out
suggestions on these lines, we have a few
to offer that would probably be of some
help to those: .book-keepers who habitual-
~ make the, mistake of wrong posting.
Here is one: When posting credits place
wrist, so that you may not forget to
post on the right side of the account
Or: have your stationer cut sheets of
cardboard half the width Of your ledger
page and when posting debts cover the
credit side Of the account with the card
board.
COR: buy a photograph with two rec
Iords; one to continuously, produce the
other post credit When posting credits
set the machine with, credit record, go
:: "eAnother ingenious way is to post all
debit items with the left hand and credit
items with the right hand. Under this
method the relative; position Of the DR.
and Or. columns in the ledger to the posi-
ton Of the body, will make posting on
ths wrong side a, physical impossibility:
''To all book-keepers who feel the need
Of some device, mechanical or otherwise,
to prevent making the error, we. offer the
above suggestions free Of charge
eff, however,. all these schemes fail
in their purpose, we shall have. to fall
back on the one rule: that:the advocates
of colored ink posting seem to fight shy
Of. This rule can best be expressed by
quoting Smiles: Steady application to
work is the shealthiest' training for every
indiyidual,''

THE. SHADOWS.

"a Legend.)

A fire burned ;on the field. By the fire
sat Jesus, surrounded by a few adher-
ents and friends. A few steps back of
Him, His magnifed shadow was cast
! upon wall.
Then John. the favorite disciple of the
Master, lost in thought, tooksa piece of
charcoal and with it traced the lines Of
the shadow till he sketched the whole fig
ure OF the Master on the wall. Then he
dropped the charcoal and was soon again
engrOssed in the conversation.
On the following morning as the people
passed by the wall many a one stood still
and looked at the sketch.
THAT represents a shoemaker, for it

bent attitude shows as clear as day that
1t is meant for fruit vender. even
though it was forgotten to sketch the
basket on his back. The half-open
mouth shows plainly that he is calling

A prominent member of the Sanhe-
drlm, who was passing, but who, of
course, would not mingie his voice with
the voices of the common people, thought
to himself: "By the high forehead 1
see that it represents a learned man. a
thinker. 1t might almost be taken for

picture. Not badly done. Quite likely
one of the men made a sketch of me.
They all know me ittle.''
Meanwhile, one OF the spectators had
quietly come up to the sketch. He was
a well-dressed man with a gentle and
kindly face, which reminded one Of the
face of child. No one knew much
about him. no chronicle has preserved
his name or posterity. for he lived in
retirement, afraid of all noise, of all
sensations. His hands crossed over the
knob of his cane, he contemplated the
sketch. What noble brow" he
thought. What sublime meekness in
the whole figure. All, that one might
resemble that sketch! but why wish
the imDossibleY'
AS he stood there meekly and quietly
he resembled the sketch so strikingly
that all stepped back and. whispering,
pointed at him. Modest and bashful he
went away, not knowing why they were
looking at him.
He did not resemble Christ. for who
could do that? He resembled only his
shadow, without knowing it, Had he
known it-had he, proud with this con-
seriousness, haughtily thrown back his
head-the resemblance would have van
ished.-Verner Won Heidenstam in New
York Daily News.
