Something entirely out of the or
dinary in the musical comedy line is
promised at the Lyceum theatre, To-
ledo, for three days engagement,
starting with the Thursday matinee
Of next week, and including the Sat
urday matinee, when s. H. Dudley,
supported by Aida Overton Walker
and the Smart Set" company will
be the attraction in "His Honor the
Barber" When it is considered that
there is not an interpolated song in
the entire production and that the
whole performance is by negroes
who have been culled from the ranks
of the best musical comedy and vau-
deville fields in the country, an idea
of the performance may be had. The
leading comedian, Mr.. Dudley, who is
well known to local theatre goers,
has part this season which should
enhance his reputation as fun max
er of the first water. Dudley appears
as Raspberry Snow. Raspberry is
one of those illiterate negroes who
sees only the humorous side of
things. He wants to shave the Pres
ident of the United States. He gets
to the White House all right, but only
as far as the steps when in company
with his faithful donkey he falls
asleep and dreams-dreamS that he
is acting as first tonsorial artist to
William Taft. The comedy is in
three acts and seven scenes with the
locale in the south; jingling melodies,
plenty of unctious fun, lots of enjoy
able features and any amount of sur
prises are contained in the produc-
ton. The cast is composed of sixty
people.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

It is often hard when Christmas
times come around to think of pres
ents, which, besides carrying with
them their message of remembrance
and good will, will also prove of real
use and bring practical pleasure to
our friends. Sometimes, however,
it is possible to hit on gift in the
enjoyment of which many can share
and adds to the pleasure and comfort
of the whole family circle; and in
such cases the blessing of giving"
is increased by just so many times as
the number of those who receive.
A good lamp is one such gift. A
lamp stands for so much that is Pc
culiarly intimate and friendly. Its
lighting marks the end of the days
work and the approach of the pleas
ATTEST hours of the whole twenty
four-when the old people and the
young come together for rest and
make the evening merry; when the
labors and the worries of the work-a-
day world without are put aside for a
time. Frowns and wrinkles are
smoothed out, laughter springs up
and spreads spontaneously, under the
lamp-light glow; and, if this same
lamp was Christmas present from q
friend, how pleasantly the thoughts
of those it shines upon should turn
towards the giver.
Those for whom "the spirit of the
lamp" has an appeal in which they
would like some relative or friend to
share would do well before going
farther to look into the merits and
charms Of the Rayo lamp. The Rayo,
which is placed on the market by the
Standard Oil Company, is a low
priced lamp, but all important ad-
vantages are claimed for it. Opti-
clans unite in condeming the tendency
among many readers and workers to
sit Immediately under small but
strongly concentrated light, and ply
sicians have found it easy to trace a
close connection between eye trouble
and affections of the head and nerves
and even Of the digestion.
OF all artificial lights the eye spe-
cialists agree that an oil lamp is east.
est on the human eye, giving the
light that, in its effect on the optic
nerve, comes nearest to the natural
ligh of day; and the light from the
Rayo lamp, while clear and bright, is
remarkably soft, mellow and diffus.
ed. The new burner with which this
seasons model is fitted gives extra
strength and prevents all Pickering
SO that IL does not strain the eyes
even of those who are sitting far
away from it. In appearance the
Rayo satisfies the most exacting; its
hght-giving qualities cannot be sur
passed.

GRAND. gloomy and Peculiar.

There was a marked contrast be-
tween Lincoln's manner, which was
always pleasant and even genial, and
that of Stanton. The latter's stern,
spectacled visage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before high
desk as the crowd passed before him
and one by one presented their re-
quests or complaints, which were rap
idly disposed Of. Hc was naughty,
severe, domineering and often rude.
When think of him In the daily rou-
tine of his public audiences the char
acterization of Napoleon by Charles
Phillips, the Irish orator, comes to
mind, "grand. gloomy and peculiar.

The farmers of Perrysburg town
ship and vicinity will hold their an
nual Farmers Institute at the town
hall in Perrysburg, on Dec. % and
29, and splendid program has been
prepared for that occasion. Every
farmer should make a point to attend
every session of this institute and
listen to the instruction and expert
ence as given by the speakers. These
meetings represent real value to the
farmer and every particle Of knowl-
edge that he can put in. his head in
this manner will mean money that he
can put in his pocket later on. The
man who will make farming pay the
biggest revenue must be wise in his
profession and constantly ON the job.
In all lines of business it is case Of
the survival Of the fittest," and the
successful farmer, like all other busi-
ness men, must constantly acquire
expert knowledge in his business.

THEIR ENGAGEMENT.
He Told Her She Would Return to
Him, and She Did.

She entered the room hastily.
He was awaiting her.
81 was afraid you would be thinking
i had forgotten" she said.
NO" he responded calmly, in the
tone of one who is master Of himself.
IAN engagement is an engagement
with me-"
She was beautiful girl. A wealth
of chestnut hair rippled below the
wide brim of her bonnet. Her close
fitting tailored gown yielded to every
movement of her supple form.
He was bit above the average
height, clean cut, square chinned
chap, whose every expression bespoke
self reliance. AS he looked at her his
glance was deferential, yet not timid.
"It has been long while since we
saw each other" he remarked.
Eyes, nearly a year." she replied.
But do you remember when 1 left
that time you said 1 would have to
come back"
"Yes. You should have come sooner
than this"
''But have been so busy-going and
coming, dances, dinners, the theater
and ALL"
81 know. And you were married
too?
His voice did not tremble as he ask
ed this, yet across her face there fash
ed quick tinge of humiliation.
I-I would rather not speak Of
that" she observed, almost coldly.
"That is all over. We've 1t was
to be expected. The truth is we were
not meant for each other So II got

sit was better so, no doubt" he re-
sponded gently. won't you sit down"
She took the chair he indicated, and
as he looked down at her she flashed
him sudden smile.
~ was afraid of you the last time"
she said merrily.
"But you are not afraid nowW
His voice seemed to give her assur-
ance. She smiled again
"No. indeedw
He put his fingers beneath her dim
pied chin and tilted her bonny head
back, then gazed at her earnestly.
Her limpid eyes looked up at him
trustingly. The rose pink of her
cheeks came and went ftfully. The
white of her throat throbbed with
each breath. He bent nearer to her,
still with that fixed gaze. Her lips
were parted.
He raised his head, and she looked
out of the window silently.
There was a pause. AT last she
spoke.
"What are you studying about?
What have you decided?"
81 think I'll have to fill two of your
teeth" he said quietly. The rest are
all right. You have taken better care
Of them than most women do."-Life.

There is a fortune awaiting the
man who will invent a method of
making breakfast-food out of crude
oil and "B. s." The Normal School
that will be established in this coun-
ty will bring large number of stu
dents from other parts of the state.
1t is said that in nearly all towns
where Normal Schools are establish
ed the principal revenue derived
from the students is by boarding
houses, but that the price paid for
board is seldom over two dollars per
week, and at the present price of liv-
ing there will be very little profit at
that price unless some new kind of
food can be prepared. The saw mills
and planning mills in the county might
put in attachments by which shay
ings and saw dust could be converted
into breakfast food; "B. s." might be
made into some form of oil cake, and
the beet tops which are usually
thrown away by the beet growers
might be gathered and converted In
to a pudding that could be used for
supper and thus a fair profit could
be made by boarding students at two
dollars per.

The people of Bowling Green are
making all necessary plans to per-
feet their claims to the Normal
school and the united stand they are
taking is very commendable. That
is one of the great and strong points
of the Bowling Green people. When
they go after something for their
town they do not stop to reason
why" they seem to feel it's theirs
but to do"-and if they die in their
efforts, they die fighting. This is the
spirit that makes good towns.

Once again the Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court is in
the Democratic line. President Taft
has appointed Justice Edward White
to that high Office, breaking a prece-
dent by promoting an Associate JUS
tice to be Chief Justice. The Presi-
dent evidently did not get enough
Democracy at the last election, so he
takes another slice. Perhaps he likes
it. Most Republicans got all they
wanted in November.

The fight in the Democratic ranks
for the Senatorial honors which Sen.
ator Dick has been enjoying, is get
ting very interesting. Pomerene and
Hanley are at each other in hammer
and tongs fashion. The Republicans
who still live are enjoying the fight
greatly. Pomerene claims to be the
only "simon pure" 'for the dear
people" article, while Hanley is said
to be rich, politician and "for the
interests" We doubt if there is
much difference between them when
it gets down to brass tacks." Go
to it, men, we are quite sure you are
both Democrats, so what's the

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Perrysburs People Have Done

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Sick
kidneys expel a dark, ill-smelling
urine, full of "brickdust' sediment
and painful in passage. Sluggish KID
neys cause dull pain in the small of
the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys,
and rid the blood of uric poison. II
you suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem
edy.
Perrysburg people recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills.
C. A. Hampton, Second St., Perrys-
burg, Ohio, says: Il gladly recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. This
remedy has been used in my family
and has proven to be cure for
troubles arising from disordered kid
neys."

COURSE OF LECTURES
On Astronomy Has Been Arrange For
by Perrysburg People.

Arrangements are being made. by
number of Perrysburg people with
Professor f. ]. Hillig of st. Johns
College, Toledo, to give here in Per-
rysburg his famous course of lectures
on astronomy.
OF the popular sciences taught in
our schools and colleges, there is
probably none in which SO few of the
elementary facts are known by peo.
pie in general, as belong to astron-
omy. Even among people otherwise
well informed, there is dearth of
knowledge regarding this most inter-
esting subject.
Professor Hillig will give to us in
language understood by all, the
wonderful truths regarding the uni
verse and the relation of this world
of ours to the heavenly bodies.
The course will consist of six lee
lures, and the subjects will be chos.
en- from the following list:
The Solar System.
The Sun. i ! 4
The Moon. II 4.
Saturn and Jupiter.
Astronomical instruments.
Fixed Stars and Nebular.
The Universe.
Comets and Meteors.
The Rise and Decay Of the World.
The History of Astronomy.
These lectures will be illustrated
with lantern slide demonstrations.
Questions from the audience will
be answered by the lecturer and will
prove an interesting feature.
The first lecture will be given on
Friday, January 9Th, and continued
every Friday thereafter, until sthe
course is completed.
The board of education recognizing
its educational advantage, have Of
fered the use of the auditorium of
the public schools.
The enthusiastic reception of this
science course by those who have
been approached on the subject, has
encouraged the committee in the ex-
pectation of having every seat in the
auditorium sold, and consequently
they have ventured to offer tickets
for the entire course at the nominal
price of One Dollar. This brings the
lectures within the reach of all, and
gives to every one an opportunity OF
taking a short course in astronomy
from one who is considered an au
thority in the science.
Announcement of each lecture will
be mailed by post card the day before
to all holders of tickets, thus giving
more general notice than is possible
by the methods now in use.
Tickets will be sold by subscrip
ton and reservation of seats for the
entire course may be obtained with
out additional charge.
Residents of neighboring villages
desiring course tickets may write OF
phone Champney's Pharmacy, fol
reservations.
Further particulars will be an
nounced next week.

' t. THE DIVINE RIGHT
The Wickersham bill provides

The WlCkerSham Dill prONldeS that the laws of Alaska shall be made bv a local legislature, but that all the cost of making the laws as well as all the cost of enforcing them, shall be paid by the people of tbe United States and not by the people of Alaska.
 Self government for Alaska, be- ing urged by some boisterous in dividuals as a divine right" and a5 vouchsafed by the Declaration of Independence, it may be we'll to call attention to the fact that tie signers of that immortal document asked no form of government that they were unwilling or incapable to pay the cost of maintaining, and 1t would seem unfair to assume, with out proof, that Providence IS guilty of imposing upon any people or community the divine duty 10 make laws which they themselves are e. ther unwilling or incapable of CT forcing without aid from others.
 Tae United States government Is n3w expending annually some S1, ,6oo, 900 for the government and upbuilding of Alaska. When the people of this country are willing to -aouIder this burden their rig 7, aelf-government nay be- conn pertinent aqostion, but nol till then,
