the Sight.
THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE
Served at Epworth Church
Friday Night.
The Occasion was One of the Most
Enjoyable Ever Held Neat Sum
of Money Is Realized.

with soldier like precision, with
cleanliness that would put many Of
the women to shame, dressed In the
uniform of white aprons and with
faces redeemed by, the heat from the
cookstove, forty men hustled-bustled
and fumed in the basement Of Ep-
worth NJ Il. church Friday night when
i they served supper to more than
three hundred people. And 1t was a
picture no artist could paint.
A cynical smile was worn by many
of the women who visited the dining
room about o'clock when they
spotted John, Henry or Billy or what
ever their husbands name happened
to be, almost obscured behind an ap-
ron and loaded with tray of dishes.
And the wives were quietly thinking
"If John would only be so willing at
ltdmel The supper was planned, I
cooked and served by men and the
women all this time kept wondering
as to just what kind of an affair it
would be. The curiousity of the wom-
en- was certainly aroused and of the
three-hundred and fifty served, per-
haps more than two-thirds were wom-
len.
| Among the kitchen mechanics were
to be found some of Marion's most
representative men. in the front
ranks was to be seen Mayor Louis
Scherff who seemed to be Just as
cool as VIXEN sitting in his office ex-
iaminins some miscreant of the law.
Louie was enjoying 1t all to and
the way in which he handled his tray
designated that he surely had some
Experience in that line.
The royal chef of the occasion was
Fred Schaeffer who hadled his men
with the precision of a general. Mr..
Fred Hofstetter and Mr.. Frank
Foreman were captains of the tray
brigade. Elmer Parish had charge ol
the dining room. Messrs. Frank
Owen and T. Mills handled the money
and all cash bearing tainted marks
was refused
I'he supper was served by the mem.

WAS so VERY SLEEPY
And Needed Just a Few
Hours of Sweet Repose.
Boys with Flobart Rifles are Max
ing Much Trouble for the Local
Telephone Company.

As a result of the confidence
placed in an unknown man who
applied for room and board at her
home, Mrs. Alice Rhinehart, of
Lewis street, and two of the board
ers at the house, are out n
gold watch and chain and $50.
A well dressed Young man ap-
peared at the Rhinehart home yes
terday morning and applied for
room and board. Mrs. Rhhehart
told him that all Of her rooms were
full and she could not take any
more in. He insisted, however, and
would not take q negative answer
to his REQUESTS. The woman finally
allowed him to go to an up stairs
room occupied by two boarders.
The man agreed to pay her a
small amount for allowing him to
sleep there for several hours. He
said he was worn out from a long
trip and needed the rest badly.
As soon as he was alone in the
room he commenced to explore
around and ransacked the trunks
and the bureaus and rifled the
pockets Of the clothes that were
left in the rooms. Two hours later
he went down stairs and asked per-
mission 20 use the telephone. The
landladv had the Bell phone in the
house and he wanted the Citizen s
phone so he told her that he would
90 out and find store with that
telephone in it. The message was
Important and he would have to
hurry. Citizens telephones in that
vicinity must be rather scarce for
he has not yet reappeared.
Late LIN the afternoon when the
man did not return Mrs. Rhinehart
Investigated and discovered the
amount of valuables taken by the
pretended roomer.
The matter was reported to the
police who made an investigation
IL was learned that man answer
ing the description furnished by the
woman had boarded an Erie freight
train about noon. Telephone mes
sages were sent to Kenton and
other surrounding cities but have
not so far resulted in the arrest of
the sly stranger.
The game is an old one that is
often tried and the police are sur
prised that it was so SUCCESSFULLY
worked here.

REPAIRS UNDER WAY
AT COURT HOUSE
Cause of Mysterious Leak at
Last is Discovered.
Tin Sheeting Under Big Bell Badly
Perforated and is Being Replac-
ed by Copper Plates.

The new cable to be used in
winding up the court house bell has
not yet arrived, and the big county
time piece Is still silent. Sherman
Dixon and John Haines, custodians
of the court house. state that the
rotting of the cable was due to
the fact that the sheet of tin be-
Meath the bell has been leaking
for several years, causing water to
course down the cable continually.
The effect of the water was to rot
the strands in the cable.
The crstodians of the building
also believe that the perforations
in the tin beneath the big bell has
been the cause of number of nv
steiious leaks which occurred dur-
ing the past year. Water came
through the frescoing in both of
these rooms and although an in
vestigation was made at the time.
the cause of the leaks could not
pc ascertained. Several days ago
Dixon and Haines made an inves.
tieation and found the tin beneath
the bell badly perforated. Me-
chanics are now at work removing
the tin and replacing 1T with cop.
per. This change, it is Thought, will
prevent any leaks in the future.

The Handkerchief Bank.

"She's on to a little Sunday trick
that good many women know" said
an observing policeman in the vicinity
of several churches.
whenever l see a woman give a
gentle kick, as that one did, to a hand
kerchief that some ones dropped l al
ways know she hopes to hear the chink
of money. Especially on Sunday morn
ings is money frequently found knot
ted up in the corners of handkerchiefS.
These invariably belong to women
who, l suppose, haven't such thing
as a pocket and don't want to carry a
purse to church, so they put enough
small change for contribution and car
fare into the corner Of a handkerchief
and tie it up. When woman hears
the metallic noise she's hoping for she
has to pick up the entire handkerchief,
no matter how muddy it may be, but
a man whips out his knife, cuts the
knot and pockets the money. The other
Sunday morning / saw man count
out 80 cents which he had extracted
from the corner of a disreputable look
ing handkerchief. If he hadn't given 1t
a kick and heard the chink of the
coins he'd never have thought Of
touching it"-New York Sun.

THE PROPER ACTION.

Gov. Davidson has taken the
proper stand in vetoing the bill
granting a pension TO Chief Justice
Cassoday. AS he states in vetolng
the measure his object was not to
set precedent for future legisla-
lures to follow. Had the bill been
sanctioned by him aid the pension
been allowed it would have un-
doubtedly led to the pension of
other supreme court justices and
from that to other public servants
until a halt would have to be called
at some future time. The granting
of persons to public officials upon
retirement is practice that, If once
introduced, is sure to grow and the
only safe way is to not start the
practice.
No one, Governor Davidson or
any other person acquainted with
the work of Chief Justice Cassoday,
will deny that his long and valuable
service to the commonwealth is well
worth the small pension proposed.
The state was never better served
than by him. But policy for the
public good must be considered
first and this the governor has done,
and for it deserves. nothing but
commentator.

NanoIeon and Waterloo.

Military men. of all countries have
repeatedly declared that Napoleon's
last campaign was admirably planned
and, up to Waterloo, admirably ex-
ecuted. Napoleon was defeated at
Waterloo not because Of any twist in
his brain, but because Of the rain that
fell on the night of the 18th of June
and the incompetency or treachery of
Grouchy. Had it not rained on the
18th, or had Grouchy obeyed orders
and kept Butcher frcn the French
right, Napoleon would unquestionably
have gained a victory at Waterloo
