The wind may be tempered to the
shorn lamb but 1t isn't in the contract
that the same shall apply to peekaboo

The Johnson family at Fairlawn
might not have slept so peacefully
had they known that their hired man
was a murderer and burglar.

If all the railroads planned to ra-
diate from Akron are actually built,
and belt lines. too, the old town may
look something like spider web.

Yes, Anxious Inquirer, Clint Kline
is a great but not rapid reader. One
Paige will keep him busy about three
months. Maybe 1t is because his
memory isn't good.

Mr.. G. p. Humphrey always laughs,
he says, when he hears Mr.. w. l..
Pardee referred to as Deputy Probate
Judge. "There is no such position
connected with the Probate Office"
said Mr.. Humphrey. "Section 533 of
the Revised Statutes of Ohio provides
that the Probate Judge shall be his
own clerk and il help Is needed, he may
appoint assistants who shall be known
as deputy clerks of the Probate Court"

Oh, my, wonder what has become Of
the little lion that was named after
Akron? While the Canton Carnival
Co. was here couple of years ago,
the management claimed that litter
of lions had been born in Akron, and
that as compliment TO the town, the
only male among them had been
named Akron" Not long after this
announcement, the baby "Akron
was passed around among the audi
ence, as special feature, and 1t was
observed that he was nearly big
enough to have whiskers and wear
No 0 boots. The very next town WIS.,
tied had the same compliment be-
slowed upon it, and "Akron" became
"Canton," Youngstown" EAST
Liverpool,". or something else. oh, fie,
the ways of showmen!

The travelling section of the Bostock
show seems to be as vlgilant as ever
in booming wallace" the alleged
ferocious lion, as one of the greatest
drawing cards ever seen in any of the
towns visited. He is Invariably ac-

Lace has been seen in Akron and he
has been watched carefully while be-

essary for several ''hefty' rousta-
bouts to go after him with pike poles,
poking and jabbing him until he be-
gins to growl. The growing, however,

to disturb anybody. If you pinch the
tail of full-grown. robust tom cat,
the action following would make that

pink ribbon on his neck. While the
man, "who takes his life in his hand"
goes into the cage with wallace an
other man stands nearby with a re-
volver in his hand Upon reliable
authority, 1t has been stated that the
revolver Ia never allowed to be loaded,
for fear it might go off
and kill somebody in the
audience. The fearless man
in the cage yanks "Wallace" around
by the tail, kicks him and rolls him
over like kitten, and 1t has been
observed that wallace" Is scared half
to death NIL the time of the perform
ance.
