j.. M. Campbell, who lives at 1914
West Tuscarawas street, has q friend
who is an amateur poet. This friend
Is also billiard shark" and has fre-
ouentIy had interesting bouts with Mr..
Campbell in Canton billiard parlors.
Usually Mr.. Campbell has had the best
of It and now the friend takes an un-
fair advantage. He comes back at his
opponent with bunch OF poetry--a
game that Mr.. Campbell confessedly
knows nothing about. The guilty per-
son is Lew Smith and his home Is in
Medina. The poetic attack Is entitled,
"The Man Behind the Cue," and ID
rs follows:
There's the man behind the gun
And the man behind the hoe,
The man behind the woman
And the man whose got the dough,
There's the man behind the horses
And the man behind the crew
But the man who works the hardest
| Is the man behind the cue.
His head is full Of angles
Geometrical and true
He can tell you when he hits the ball
Just what It ought to do,
And II 1t does not do 1t
He will have reason true,
| It's the balls, the light, the table
| Not, the man behind the cue.
| The table Is not level
| The balls they are not true.
The cushions made Of hemlock
Cheese tips upon the cue,
II he plays a cushion carom
OF a shot he fought to drew"
The fault Is somewhere, but not with
| The man behind the cue.
Every shot upon the table
Has way of being made,
And he knows just how to do 1t
| Only, sometimes he's afraid,
That upon the eleventh angle
The balls might chance to kiss,
But of course the man behind the cue
| Is not to blame for this.
The man Of even temper
| The man of confidence.
The man who always knows his mind
And is never on the fence,
The man whose eye is always sure
Whose aim is always true,
Is not the man behind the gun.
But the man behind the cue.

THE YEAR'S IMPORTS
 ABOVE A BILLION
The First Time in inc Coun-
 try's Commercial History
The Record of the Imports for the Last Thirty Three Years and Their Phe- nomenal Growth During the Last Five Years.

Washington. April 26.-The imports into the United States exceeded one billion dollars in twelve months ending with March. 1S03 This is the first time in the history Of our foreign commerce in which the imports Of twelve months have exceeded $l,0G0, 600, ,0G0. Prior to 1870 they had never reached as much as a halt billion dollars in single year. and it was not until 1890 that they reached three quarters of d bill ion dollars in value. and now for the first time they have passed the billion dollar line. Meantime the exports have grown with like rapidity In the twelve months ending with March. l@C5. the total eXrorts were $1.4f47S0,- s54, against $1.G01, 596GS3 Of imports, giving an excess Of exports during the twelve months of $413 190,271. Exports never reached a half billion dollars value in a single year until after 1870.
 in 1880 they passed for the first time,
 the three-quarters of biilior-doilar
 line; in 1892 they for the first time eX- ceeded $l,000, ,G00,000, and in the twelve
 months ending with March 1908, they were $1,414, 4,7S6,954; and should the ex- ports of April, May and June average as high as those for March, they would bring the total eXpOrta tiors for the
 fiscal year past the $1 50O, ,Q0Q, 00G line
 The growth in imports has been es- pecially marked during the past five years. In the twelve months ending with March, 1889. they were 660 mill ions in value; in the twelve months ending with March, 1900, S3S millions; in the twelve months ending with March, 1862, S02 millions; and in the 1 twelve months ending with March, 1908, $1,GG1 ,596GS3 While it is not GUS tomary to state the foreign commerce by annual periods ending with March,
 the fact that the figures just presented
 by the treasury bureau Of statistics which cover the twelve months ending
 with March. 1868, show, for the first
 time. a total importation Of one billion dollars in a twelve months period jus tifies presentation Of the figures for an annual period ending with March and covering 2 term of years.
