C.P. r. viii Come This Way.

That the Canadian Pacific railway
will build line from Sarnia to Komoka
next spring is the announcement now
made. The line has been surveyed
and will run north of the present tunnel
branch of the Grand Trunk. The trains
will be ferried across st. Clair river be J..
tween Port Huron and Sarnia, unless
arrangements can be made with Port
Huron tunnel company which is under
G. II. control. This line will enable
the Canadian Pacific TO enter Chicago
over the Pere Marquette and will make
the mileage from Montreal to the
Windy City very much less.

SHOT AT THE CAT
But Man Gets Part of the Charge
of Shot.

While loading tile in the Perrys-
burg Tile yard, last Friday, VIM.
Adamson received part of the charge
oe shot that was intended for very
bad Thomas cat that had been too
busy stealing rabbits. 1t happened
this way:
John Wilson, the Superintendent of
the tile yard, has some tame rabbits
in the yard which he very much ad-
mires, and they have been very much
annoyed and a few of them killed
by a very voracious Thomas cat who
seemed to have a taste for rabbit,
and Mr.. Wilson had loaded his gun
with a small charge of shot with the
intention of slaughtering the cat as
soon as possible.
The second scene in this catas-
trophe finds VIM. Adamson loading
his wagon with tile in the tile yard.
The Thomas cat appears with his
appetite sharpened for rabbit, soon
followed by Mr.. Wilson with his gun
loaded for cats. The cat is seen hid
ing in a large tile; Wilson blazes
away at the cat. Adamson feels
something hit his legs, and calls to
Wilson to know what he is doing,
who replies, shooting cats" "Well,
you have peppered me also,' said
Adamson, and upon investigation it
was found that one shot had entered
the right leg a few inches above the
ankle and another had entered the
left thigh just below the groin. DIR.
Bowers decided not to attempt to re-
move the latter shot because of It's
close proximity to an artery. Adam
son is now taking a rest at home
while the doctor is looking after his
injuries.
The shooting was purely accidental
and Mr.. Wilson is greatly grieved
over the accident.
No serious results are anticipated
from the wounds.

HISTORIC PEN HELD AS RELIC.
Used by Franklin in Signing Deelara
tlon of independence.

George Edward McLeland, who lives
at 1926 North New Jersey street, Indi-
annapolis. does not have much use for
pen, inasmuch as he is not yet five
years old, but he nevertheless has the
most interesting pen in Indianapolis
II is the one with which Benjamin
Franklin signed the Declaration of
Independence. His grandfather, Capt
George w. McLeland, who has passed
MS eighty-sixth birthday, has handed
the relic down to the younger George
Capt. McLeland received it from his
grandfather, Alexander McLeland, who
was page in the continental con-
gress.
Grandfather was a page in that
historic congress-" said the youthful
Georges S6-year-old grandfather, "and
he was nicknamed Sandy by its
members He gave me this pen, which
is made of wild turkey feather, when
! last saw him at our home down in
Jefferson county, in 1881.
You see, was only a shaver, about
as big as young George there, when he
gave 1t to me. He told me that all the
men who signed the Declaration of In
dependence did not use the same pen,
and that when Franklin signed 1t he
turned to him and said: Here, Sandy,
you take this and keep it, and now
run along and tell the sexton to ring
the bell and he then, with this pen
In his hand, FASTENED out to the old
man at the bell, and the first music of
liberty rang out on the air
My grandfather lived to be 85
years old, and now that have passed
that milestone, and my days are num-
bered, / pass the old relic down two
generations. l came very near, how
ever, turning it over to the old liberty
bell people when the bell was in Indi-
annapolis few years ago."

NEW PAROLE LAW
Sentences Given Under New Law in
Wood County.

a. recent amendment to the GRIM
inal laws, made by the last legisla-
ture, providing for parole by the trial
judge, has been given trial in Wood
county.
Frank Camp arrested some time
ago, having been indicted for non-sup-
port by the grand jury has entered
plea of guilty and has been sentenc-
ed to the reformatory at Mansfield,
the sentence being suspended, how
ever, while he takes care of his wife.
Camp works in a printing Office at
Norwalk and has gone there to work.
George Breck, who had entered
plea of not guilty to failure to sup
pert his child, has changed his plea
10 guilty and has been sentenced to
the Mansfield reformatory
Sentence in the case of Breck was
also suspended, or rather provision
in the law, added at the recent. leg
islature, was taken advantage of by
Prosecutor Ladd and papers issued
in both the Breck and Camp cases,
indicating that the men are on par
ole from the Mansfield institution
and that they are subject to all of
the restrictions of paroled prisoner
which means that should they in any
way violate the courts orders, their
parole would be ended and they
would be Immediately committed to
the institution.
Wood county is one of the first in
the state to make use of the new pro-
vision, which promises to be of much
use in compelling men to take care
OF their children.

AN OPINION ON ELECTION.

In the opinion of Senator Nathan B.
Scott, the antinegro planks in the
platform of West Virginia Democrats
insures beyond all question the sue
cess of Mr.. Taft in that state at the
November election, says the Cincin.
natl Enquirer.
West Virginia has large percent
age of colored voters, most of whom
are accustomed to vote the Republi
can ticket. But the Brownsville af
fair created great deal of dissatis-
faction among them, just as it did
among the negroes of other Northern
states, and the Republican leaders
there were beginning to show appre-
hension over what course they might
pursue with respect to the Presidency
But now, by adopting plank favor
orlng virtual disfranchisement of ne
groes and also "Jim Grow" cars on the
railroads, the Democrats, according to
Senator SCOTS view, have absolutely
lost every chance of capturing any
portion of the negro Republican vote.
Secretary Taft will carry West
Virginia by comfortable majority"
said the veteran politician and mem
ber of the National Committee, to.
night. PERSONALLY, meyer have had
any serious misgiving on this point,
although some of the Republicans OF
the state were somewhat worried over
the possibility of negro disatfection
But now even these men are confident
there is no hope of Bryan getting our
Electoral vote, in view of the action
of the Democratic State Convention
this week. see no good reason why
any one should doubt that Taft will
be elected, either"

WAITING FOR A FORTUNE.
Mr.. BIinkey Not Worrying Over II, Not
the Least Bit, But Ready for 1t.

Like many another man, Mr.
Blinkey is always hoping that some
thing will turn up. He's an intelligent
man and he knows perfectly well that
there isn't one chance in seven hun
dred and eighteen thousand billion
that he'll ever get dollar that he
doesn't work for and earn; and still
he's always hoping and thinking that
something might happen.
And so when he gets TO the office
In the morning he looks in the lettet
box there. not really with the expecta-
ton of finding fortune, but neverthe-
less thinking that there might be
something; not disappointed if there
isn't but wishing that he might find
there check for million dollars,
from somebody or somewhere. or no
tice of some fortune that had been
left to him that he was now to come
and claim.
It's just the same when he goes
home at night. He's been away all
day, time enough for 40 Things to
happen, for 40 fortunes to come in.
and he knows there hasn't any come,
-
and still it is not an absolutely i'm
possible thing, and so he's always
kind o hoping that he'll hear some
good news when he goes home.
He never does, he finds everything
going along there placidly; there
hasn't been any fortune sent in or
brought IN by Uncle Sam, and he
knows tls7'd speak of it If there had
been; but sometimes he says to Mrs.
Blinkey jokingly:
Anybody leave us $2.OOO.OOO to-
day?"
NO" says Mrs. Blinkey, smilingly.
"One million?"

Half million, maybe" says Mr..

does this right cheerfully. But he's
always hoping.

Few Are Buying Pearls.

The pearl trade of Bombay has de-
preciated in value in the last season.
1t is there that the pearls are finally
collected by the jewel merchants. Most
of them are sent to Paris, and many
are purchased there by wealthy Amer
leans, most of whom, however, have
bought sparingly this year. Pearls In
Paris are now selling at third of
the usual price, and jewellers have
cancelled their orders for further CON
signments from Bombay.

The Toledo police seem to be an
ticipating an influx of criminals dur
ing the G.. A. r. Encampment, and
are now making plans for the protec-
tion of citizens and visitors. The
city has long been considered the
abiding place of a large number of
the criminal class and if the present
force is to be augmented by foreign
talent the average country editor will
find it necessary to remain at home
or to be provided with special protec-
tion in order to insure safety of his
wealth during his sojourn in the city.
However, it is safe to predict tnat
Toledo will take the best of care of
the visitors, as she usually does, and
we are perfectly satisfied to take a
chance in the city with all of our
dollar and thirteen cents which we
have been carefully saving for this
occasion.

A very pretty custom, that has been
in vogue in European countries for
centuries and In our own southern
states for many years, is that of nam.
ing farm houses. There is no more
reason why farm should not be
named than there would be for not
naming dog or horse, yet 1t would
seem that the people OF the north do
not take kindly to the idea. Some of
our farmers near here have taken up
the custom and we hope to see it grow
until it becomes prevalent throughout
the country.
