PLEASANT FELLOW
Was the Landlord" Who Got
So From MIR. c. H. Martin.

A smooth stranger, who said that he
was the proprietor Of hotel at Un-
iontown, and who was dressed after
the fashion of the landlord of small
hotel as seen by the novelist, fleeced
Mr.. @. H. Martin the Howard st.
piano dealer out of $S late Friday af-
ternoon. The stranger appeared at
the piano store about 4o'clock Friday
and asked to see a piano, which his
wife had decided Thursday to buy.
He stated 1t was the second one from
the door. He was pleased with the
piano.--so pleased in fact that he In
vited Mr.. Martin into a nearby cigar
store for a smoke. A pleasant con-
versation was had. Then the easy
going, honest-appearing Landlord" re-
membered that he had come to Akron
to pay bill and was So short, and
the banks were closed.
"Can you lend me that amountT
he asked Mr.. Martin. 81 will give
you check on the First National
bank" he continued.
Mr.. Martin, who was convinced that
"Mr Landlord" was honest, lent him
the sum and told him to keep his check.
Shortly, after they parted Mr.. Martin
called up the First National bank and
found that the landlord" was not
known there. The police were noti-
fed and Officer Murray, in company
with Mr.. Martin, searched for the fel-
low. Mr.. Martin met him at the cor
iner of Howard and Market sts.. and
talked with him, but neglected to no.
tify Office Murray that the stranger
was the party wanted, until the latter
had boarded street car and was
moving southwark. He is probably
moving yet, as no more trace has been
found of him.

CAPITAL SHOULD HAVE
A NOBLE STATUE OF LINCOLN
By Senator WILLIAM E. MASON, of Illinois

am simply delighted over the fact that the bill
calling for the erection of suitable monument to per-
petuate the name and fame of the immortal Lincoln
has passed the House of Representatives. and in
tend to exert every possible effort to have it pass the
Senate.
Ii is remarkable fact that the Capital of the Ma
ton has no good monument Of Lincoln. The at
the City Hall, to say the least, does not satisfy the
people. There is not line of beauty about it, and it
does not appeal to his admirers as they ride or walk
by it.
Lincoln was the greatest of our Presidents, with
the possible exception OF Washington, and it
to ourselves TO perpeuate his memory. As United
States Senator from Illinois, feel great satisfaction
i'll the passage of the bill by tie House Of Representa-
tives. and feel as a citizen OF Illinois that owe an
almost unpayable debt to the author of the bill.
Although Lincoln became national character, in
my humble opinion his is the greatest character of all
history ancient, medieval, CT current.

Preservation of Game.

In recently published book on the
big game of the West, there are sew
eral essays by President Roosevelt,
and one of the points which he makes
in connection with game preservation
is well worth noting. He says that
many people have the idea that game
preserving is undemocratic, when, as
matter of fact, it is just the con-
trary, being the only possible means
Of securing the hunting privilege to
any but the very rich.
This fallacy certainly ought to be
smashed at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity, and there is no denying that it
exists. Game preserving i'll England,
where it worked all kinds of evil half
century ago, is one thing; and game
preserving in America at the present
day is another. We have gotten our
impressions of game preserves from
the literature of the fifties, some of
which took its tone from the impas-
stoned ballad of Charles Kingsley,
who sternly declared:
There's blocd on the game you sell.
squire.
And there's blood on the game you eat"
The English preserves were, and
are, for the benefit of the very rich,
and the farmer has sometimes been
forced to sacrifice his crops to the
wild creatures which spoiled them,
and which he was forbidden to kill,
while his children were half-starved
for the want of meat Nobody got the
benefit of this sort of thing but the
landowner. If we do not take care to
secure large tracts of wild land for
the common use in this country, the
population Ill some parts of it may
come to about the same conditions as
those which caused so much suffering
to the English peasant. Land secured
and preserved by law for the use of
anybody who cares TO hunt for pleas
ure is quite different thing from the
preserves of the rich man, kept for his
own profit and that Of his guests and
friends.

The Life Struggle: The Law of Competition
By CEOiCE BABER.

Mr.. NJ. L. Scudder, a philosophic
writer on artistic and economic prob
lens, lately gave to the public small
but instructive volume entitled La
bor-V Fallacy," wherein he con-
siders individual wcrth and discusses
the groundwork of employment, the
sources of profit, the rates of wages,
and the propelling causes of human
progress, and in which / find the fol-
lowing characteristic paragraph:
IF there is anywhere, at the pres
ent time, any man so friendless and
poverty-stricken and unfortunate
that. having the ability, he can find
no opportunity to earn his bread, it is
truly pitiful. But it is ease for pity
not for wrath against the institu-
tions of society"
These lines are touched with pathos.
They present the humanitarian view
of life, and express truth that af-
fects the vicissitudes of past and fu-
ture alike They tell the story of
many an unuttered experience. They
suggest the inspiring motive of every
true endeavor for the alienation of
distress, whether of body or of mind
answering. here and there, the cry
of human want and opening the door
of opportunity to all. A chance to
earn ones daily bread is the pressing
need of a mighty throng whose sinews
are ready and whose hearts are tgde,
but whose surroundings enforce re-
lentless self-denial. Cruel circum-
stance forbids them enter the contest
for the common rewards of labor and,
hence, they stand in idleness along
life's highway, either the objects of
charity or the victims or resistless
fate. They are the ''friendless," the
poverty STRICKEN" the ''unfortu-
nate" who, having the ability, can
find no opportunity to win their daily
bread. 1t is truly pitiful, and, yet,
the fact should be treated as the re-
suit not so much of defective social
fabric as of that providential allot-
ment which has heen apportioned to
the race, by reason of sin and shame.

Vacation Schools.

The vacation schools in the Dis
trict are to be opened almost i'm
mediately after the closing OF the
regular school term, and nothing
wiser could be done with the small
amount of money which will be
needed to keep them up. 1t does not
really make much difference wheth-
er the children learn anything OF
permanent value or not. The fact
that they are kept off the streets In
comfortable quarters, and engaged
in employments which will to some
extent occupy their minds, is quite
enough reason for the schools.
This is perhaps as inexpensive
ph!lanthropic plan as could be de-
vised, for in the summer there is no
expense for heating the school
buildings. or for artificial light. and
most Of the teachers engaged in the
work are, while quite competent,
not palu SdldTitS VI any eSti aSi VI
nary size. People who really want
to put their money where it will do
the most good may well spend it in
connection with these schools.
There is some reason TO doubt the
wisdom Of extended industrial cours-
es n connection with regular school
work. The children who need such
training also need. very badly, all
the book learning they can get, and
they are likely to be taken from
school at an carly age and put to
work at trades. School life repre-
sents to them their only intellectual
opportunity But the vacation school
occupies none of the time which is
needed for purely intellectual work,
and It furnishes an agreeable change
from the latter.

Twenty five years ago copy was dis
covered by George P, Philes. an old New
York bookseller. now living in retire
ment in Philadelphia. and was sold to
the late Thomas j. Mckee. well known
as a lawyer and ardent book collector.
Mr. Mckee. having paid a high price for
what experts had called an alleged
book. remained silent concerning his ros-
session OF the volume. and until last
week hardly three persons outside OF his
family were aware OF the fact.
That is one reason why his unique
Bible attracted so much attention last
Monday and brought SO high a sum
nearly half the price given privately last
fall for the finest copy In existence OF

more than three times the price given
by the Library of Congress some years
ago for a copy of Aitken's Bible In Eng
lish. Philadelphia 1882. $3.50.
1t has long been supposed that the
Bible printed in Philadelphia at the close
OF the Revolution was the first edition
of the Holy Scriptures printed in Ameri-
ca in the English tongue. This Bible,
issued by Robert Aitken. printer and
bookseller. was begun in 17S1. the New
Testament being completed in that year.
and the entire book being issued in 1882,

latter date.

tion of being the earliest issued here in
English. Thomas however made the
statement that Kneeland & Green. the
