why Is the Table Knife Roundedf

From Tit-Bits
Until the seventeenth century knife
blades had pointed ends, as can be
readily understood when the knife OF
those days was used for hunting and
table purposes indiscriminately. The
rounded end was introduced from
France in a curious way. 1t happened
that Cardinal Richelieu was compelled
to entertain Chancellor Sequier-a vuI-
gar and unmannerly man, who. at the
close Of the meal, proceeded to use his
knife as a toothpick This vulgar act
so upset the cardinal that he ordered
the end of every knife In his possess
sion to be rounded, and so great was
Richeleu's influence that the fashion
was soon adopted all over the country.
This is the vulgar, but. nevertheless
interesting. origin Of the rounded knife
ef to-day.

Quite an era In building is in
progress in the west end of the city
and II there is any fear on the part
of the BUSINESS men in that vicinity
as to the business prosperity OF the
future, it is not at all visible. More
building Is being done than has been
known for many years past and this
part of the city promises to rival
the uptown section soon from the
standpoint of enterprise.
The rapid advance in value of real
estate there during the past few
months has been very remarkable
and the number of buildings being
constructed and those contemplated
Is the subject of comment. The prop
erty on which the Wesley Methodist
church is located at the corner of
Olney Avenue and West Center street
has become so valuable that the
church officials are considering the
sale of the property and the removal
Of the church edifice. The trustees
say that they have been offered $175
per foot for the lot and that offers
which may not be so seriously con-
sidered have ranged much higher.
Although the matter has not been
definitely decided upon it Is authorita-
lively stated that the church lot will
be sold soon to prominent business
firm desirous of the location for a
business block The edifice will be re-
moved to the corner of Olney Ave-
nue. and West Church streets.
Aside from the many buildings be-
ing erected by the Marion Steam
Shovel company, which are progress
sing very nicely, there are many busi-
ness blocks being erected by private
persons. The new hospital building
of DR., II. J. Lower will add much.
The new building of Balm Brothers
on West Center street. is nearing
completion. Johnston Mooney Is
erecting new block on West Cen
ter also. The firm of Balm Brothers
is planning to construct a block on
the north side of Center street oppo-
site the Denman-Jenner building and
n bank will be located here. Work
will be begun soon. The block OF
Mrs. X. Herman being constructed for
business purposes is in progress OF
construction.
The residents of this vicinity are
much pleased over the prospects and
talk most hopefully for the business
future.

The closing ACT in securing the
right-of-way for the Columbus Marion
and Bucyrus electric railroad was
completed this week. There was much
difficulty experienced in securing the
rights and the matter is now very
happily settled forever although the
end was very noisy.
It will be remembered that the COM
pany was given the right to pass
through Crawford county and the sum
OF $2400 was raised by private sub
scription to obtain the rights where
they could be obtained only by pur-
chase. The heirs of the Caldwell es-
tate refused to give the rights for
less than $2,700 and the condemna-
tion proceedings against them failed.
The board of trade at Bucyrus gave
the heirs $1,000 and raised note
for $500 by private subscription, fif-
teen persons signing the note, This
was a temporary method to tide over
the difficulty
Later an effort was made to raise
he 5000 but this failed and the heirs
demanded the money from those who
had signed the note. The result was
that many fought the payment or

of this city, fell from Hooking Valley
train south bound No. 30 and was
quite badly shaken Up and Injured.
He is aged about sixty years and II is
thought that his injuries will confine

Early this morning ,Harigel left
his home and boarded the south
bound Hooking Valley and when the
train stopped at Owens other passeng-
ers left but Harigal stayed on, despite
the fact that he wanted to work there
today. He seemed unaware Of the fact
that his destination was reached and
when the train had gotten up speed
once more he realized that he had
missed the station and proceeded to
get off with the result that he jumped
and was hurled about and overturned
several times. Workmen at the station
picked up the man and gave him at
tention until n yard engine came by
and he was brought back to this city.
