LECTURE FOR
YOUNG OFFENDERS

Three boys, aged from s to ~, were
brought before Mayor Robertson Tues
day night for breaking the locks on
handcars belonging to the Stark Elec-
trio railway and using the cars as
pleasure vehicles.
For some time past the youths hava
been using the handcars and riding to
Louisville or farther. Sometimes they
would shift the cars from the street
railroad to the w. & l.. E. tracks and
enjoy a spin on the railroad, regardless
of the danger of passing trains.
Complaint was made to the mayor
of their acts and he ordered the 'ads'
assert. They were given sound lee
ture in which there were some strong
points on how to behave. The boys
promised to be good and were released.
1t Is probable that several more Of
Tenders will be brought in later.

Life OF Dewalt Begin,
Who Died on Tuesday,
Covered over Four
Score and Ten Years.

Dewalt Begin, the oldest man In
Canton, who died of old age, at IL,
Tuesday, was man whose life set al
naught the oft-repeated warning of the
total abstainers.
During his whole life he was accus-
toned to drinking hot toddy or two
every day and was very fond of his pipe
and plug OF tobacco. In spite Of this
fragrant defiance OF the recognized laws
of hygiene he lived to be 81 years of
age and when he died was the Oldest
man in Canton.
Mr.. Beglin was well known about
Canton and was universal favorite.
He was fond of discussing the prob
lens OF the day and took a great in
terest in politics. He was lifelong
Democrat and voted at every election
since he came of age up to the last one
when he would have brought Smiths
majority down to an even score II lie
had been able to get to the polls.
AN ULD LINE PARTISAN.
In his early youth he was a great
party worker and helped to elect Martin
Van Buren, in 1886. At that time lie
lived in Maxine.
He was born in Alsace, Germany, in
1872 and removed to this country with
his parents in his youth. Coming of
age here, he spent large part of his
early life in Maxine. Later he came
to Canton and married his first wife
here. Three sons and one daughter
came to this union. The sons all died
in their early childhood, Of diphtheria

SOME CHURCH ATTENDANTS.

Spurgeon, when he was in Switzer-
land on one occasion, took many
trips across a certain ferry just to
watch the way in which the machin-
cry used the current to turn the boat
from one side Of the channel to the
other. The other passengers were
going on business, but he was going
just on pleasure That is the way,
he said, some people go to church.
They go from idle curiosity and listen
only to spend an idle hour. They use
the church service as a mere pleasure
boat, and sail up and down, making no
progress after years of hearing.

SUFFICIENT STRENGTH.

He who hath appointed thee thy
task will proportion 1t to thy strength,
and thy strength to the burden which
He lays upon thee. He who maketh
the seed grow, thou knowest not how
and seest not, will, thou knowest not
how, ripen the seed which He hath
sown in they heart and leaven thee by
the secret workings of his good Spir-
it. Thou mayest not see the change
thyself, but He will gradually change
thee, make thee another man. Only
yield thyself to His moulding hand, as
clay 10 the potter, having no wishes
of thy own, but seeking in sincerity,
however faint, to have His will full
filled in thee. and He will teach thee
what to pray for and will give thee
what He teachest thee. He will re-
trace Ills own image on thee line by
line, effacing by His grace and g,a-
cious discipline the marks and spots
OF sin which have defaced it.

OLDEST MAN IN CANTON VAS Gun
tf a REMARKABLE CHARACTER

and the daughter removed to Indiana
and has not been heard of for the last
20 years.
Begin afterward married again, but
no children were born OF this marriage.
For number of years previous to his
death he has lived with step-daugh-
ter, Mrs. Josephine Anderson, of 1913
John street.

in Maxine and three step-daughters
also survive. They are: Mrs. Frank
Ress, of Massillon; Mrs. Mary Nieport

good old-fashioned way" That is, he
disdained all pastry, pie and delicacies
and conflne his diet to the more SUBJ
stantial foods.
The four weeks of sickness which i'm
mediately preceded his death was the

THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS.

The happy men and women are
those who are ready to take life as it
is, except as they are determined to
make 1t better. Those who sit down
to grumble are useless to others and
tormentors to themselves. The only
way to be happy ourselves is to make
others happy. We are yet to find the
first person active for God and the
race who is overcome Of dolorous-
ness. We find that those Christians
who deluge prayer meetings with the
story of their doubts do nothing but
talk. Useful Christians have no time
to doubt. Let man give all his time
directly or indirectly to the Lords SER
vice and he will have perpetual evil
dence Of his acceptance. Let us all
start out realizing that the world is
going to be saved anyhow; but that II
we want any hand in the world, we
have no time to lose. We may COM
press whole lifetime into the next
twelve months.

Punish your enemies by doing theul
