A number of Canton people exper-

of the new Stark Electric cars Sunday
evening, the memories Of which will
linger in the minds Of the passengers
for some time.
Car No. II with Conductor Owens
and Motorman Oscar Summers in
charge left Alliance at 4:55 o'clock and
arrived In Canton at 5:35. This car as
well as the other new ones are so con-
structed as to move at high rate oi
speed and at some straight stretches Of
tracks, Motorman Summers would
"hook her over in the corner" and lei
her speed along. A number of miles
were traversed at the rate Of 60 seconds

A Younu Sportsman.

From Cyrus Townsend Brady's fish
ing-sory in the July Lippencott's Mag
azine we quotee the following incident:
"The baby was an apt pupil. In about
ten seconds he got a fierce bite. He
pulled frantically, and out of the water
came a big sucker about q foot long!
l don't know which was the more sur
prised, the sucker or the baby. The
infant yelled like mad and dropped the
rod. We did not know just why he
yelled-fear or excitement, perhaps
both. Anyway, Jim grabbed the pole
and grabbed Jim with my free hand,
so we did not all slide into the brook
again. We gave the baby the pole again
and he finally landed the fish high and
and wriggling in the grass he eyed 1t
gleefully and shouted and screamed
and clapped his hands with triumphant
Joy. We did too. 1t was as much fun
as going-to-the-circus-w with -the-chil-
dren used to be.
I'VE all made so much noise over this
first capture at that place that there
was no use In trying 1t there any long
er, so we unlocked the fish, put it in
the fshing-bag slung over the >baby's
shoulder, and started off again.
This time we found a likely trout
hole We were most anxious to have
the baby catch trout If possible. SC
we fixed things as before and caution.

A NUISANCE
Developed In Modern
Times.

A possibly we1I-meaning habit
among people who want your money is
becoming public nuisance, says the
Hartford Courant. 1t has become Gus
tomary nowadays, when an entertain
ment is to be given, especially If 1t Is
a more or less charitable affair, to
send bunch of numbered tickets to
John Smith or John Jones with note
Informing him that these are to be
sold and he is to account for the pro-
ceeds. Primarily the notion Is to get
some money, which charities, like the
rest Of us, can always find place for;
and the idea no doubt prevails that
Smith or Jones will say to himself that
1t isn't worth while to hunt up buyers,
and will just draw his check for the
bunch and let it go at that.
That served a while and when the
game was new, but now 1t has taken on
chronic qualities, and the pablie arc
wearying. One SUFFERER recently re-
marked in this Office that his invariablc
rule as to all such Enclosures was tc
chuck them into his waste basket OF
arrival. He hadn't asked for them
and he wasn't going to use them, ant
they were in the way. When yot
come to analytic 1t, there is a lot o.
calm inpudence in the proceeding.
Not long ago a widely and most fav
orably known publishing house sen
by express to various addresses In thi'
city unsolicited specimen volumes o
work they were bringing out, will
circulars as to terms. These also In
vited the person receiving the volum
to. ship 1t back at the expense Of tn
publishers in case 1t was not wanted
This involved opening 1t first for ex
animation, then wrapping 1t up again
and finally carrying or sending 1t t
the express office. No doubt differen
people treated the episode differently
but in one case the book just lay wher
it was put on arrival. Successive in
quiries were put with the book, and a
last along came the expressman unde
orders from the publishers to get tn
book and carry 1t back to them. The
it went, but it need never have start
ed. Throwing things at people
heads is not the best way to max
them attractive.

THE SULTAN
Builds Railroad DIS to
Strengthen Country.

At the present time there are some
thing like 10 railroads in Turkey own
ed by the French, English, Germans
and Turks, but for the most part they
are small lines and do limited busi-
ress. The Damascus-Mecca railway
will be the largest road In the empire,
end will be constructed and conducted
ON American lines. One of the largest
steel concerns In the United States has
just closed contract for $4,000 tons OF
steel rails, and much larger orders arc
promised. The road is being built on
standard guage, and plans are being
made for the best types of locomotives
made in the country, and also for the
finest freight and passenger cars that
cam be turned out from American
shops.
| The importance of this move from a
strategic viewpoint was shown by the
extension of the railway line from
Constantinople to Salonica. 1t runs
toward the west from Dedeagatch at
the mouth of the Maritaz, the ancient
Hebrus, the principal river Of Thrace,
over a mountainous country, through
a wild region. 1t was originally built
for military purposes, but passengers
trains now run on 1t two days a week
from Constantinople to Salonica, max

HIGH DIVER INJURED.
Young Bulger Struck Side Of
Tank in Leap.

A young man named Bulger,
who performs the high dive act IN
the Robinson Amusement com
pany, which is holding forth at
Martins Ferry, and which will
appear here next week, made a
mistake in reckoning his position
for alighting in his leap Monday
night, and struck the side of the
tank, fracturing his left arm be-
low the elbow.
In making the dive he saw the
danger of striking his body on
the side of the tank which would
doubtless have proved fatal, and
threw out his arm to save him.
self.
A physician was Immediately
summoned and reduced the frac-
ture. Many people of the large
crowd who witnessed the act were
ignorant of the accident, and the
intense pain Bulger suffered as
he arose and bowed to the APP
plauding spectators, was not re-
vealed in his countenance.

Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. "
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex'
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have lot OF
fxtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as it
gives them but little work. '" go

casloned by the heavy fall of snow
which, II was claimed, would greatly

Minneapolis was another factor that
contributed to the decline here. Two
