In Toledo Monday a supposed mad
dog ran down Madison street with a
hundred mad people chasing him. A
policeman refrained from shooting
for fear his bullet might do damage
to some one in the crowd, but when
he saw a man carrying a gun case
which he supposed contained a shot
gun he asked him to shoot the dog.
The stranger adjusted his gun which
proved to a Roosevelt express rife,
and Immediately put hole through
the dog. A few minutes later it was
learned that the bullet went through
a SIS plate glass window of a garage
and badly damaged valuable new
auto. The bullet has been found and
there is no danger of further destruc-
tion.

GOT THE KNIFE.

Editor Speck of Pemberville, was
defeated for election as member of
the Board of Education in that town
last week, but he takes his medicine
in very philosophical and manly
manner. Don't let it worry you, Bro.
Speck. Iou are getting a little OF
the ungratitude which is usually CIV
en- a country editor, who. having the
courage of his convictions, has tried
to do something for the welfare OF
his town by telling the truth through
the columns of his paper and has op-
posed some of those people whom he
knew were unworthy. You have
probably helped to upset some of the
pet schemes of that selfish class who
are ready to engage in any scheme
or plan that will advance their per-
son.l interests against the welfare
of the community, and have been
forgotten by those who should help
you, and were slaughtered by those

opposition to all things that were
harmful to your town and people.
It's difficult matter for newspaper
man to be a sneak. What he says is
put in cold type, while the other fell
low starts something and then lies
out of it when it comes back to him
but your editorials in black and
white stand out in plain print and
you cannot and do not wish to deny
them. They are held up against you
when you get where you can be
stabbed in the dark. No doubt many
votes were cast against you by men
who dared not fight you in the open
day, but sought the cowardly method
of pretended friendship and then
stabbed you in the dark, with lead
pencil in the voting booth.
Don't let it worry you, brother
Speck Most newspaper men have
good memories. Just wait and
watch. Your time will come, and you
can "get them" alone by one
