THE DEAREST GIFT.
A Pathetic Incident In the Life of Rob-
ert Browning.

n Pathetic INCIDENT In the Life of Rob-
srt Browning.
A young American woman was trav.
cling one day in an italian railway
coach, the only other occupant of the
compartment being an elderly gentle
man. Observing the interest of the
young woman in the country through
which they were passing and seeing
also that 1t was new to her, the more
experienced traveller pointed out OBJ
jects and places Of note.
From scenery the conversation drift
ed to books and authors, until some
thing suggested to the young Amerl-
can n Of Elizabeth Barrett Brown
ing's sonnets, which she quoted.
She was astonished and abashed be-
cause the gentleman made no reply,
but during the rest of the ride sat look
ing intently out of the window, hav-
ing apparently forgotten the very ex-
istence of his travelling companion.
AS .they neared the station where the
young lady was to leave the car she
said timidly
II fear, sir, that / have offended you.
Perhaps you DO not like Mrs Brown
ing's poetry"
The man slowly turned upon her
tear dimmed eyes, and in a voice fun OF
emotion he said:
Madam, that sonnet is the sweetest,
as its singer was the dearest, gift God
ever gave to me"
Her travelling companion was Rob-
Tt Brownine-Youth's Companion.

Weiohina Machines.

Weighing machines and scales of
some kind were in use 1900 B. O., fol-
1t is said that Abraham at that time
weighed out" 400 shekels OF silver,
current money, with the merchant to
Ephron, the Hittite. as payment for q
piece of land, including the cave and
all the standing timber "in the field
and In the fence This is said to be
the earliest transfer Of land of which
any record survives and that the pay
ment was made in the presence of
witnesses. The original form OF the
weighing scale was probably a bar
suspended from the middle, with a
board or ahell suspended from each
end, one TO contain the weight, the
stner TO contain the matter to be
weighed The steelyard was probably
SO called from the material of which IL
was made and frem Its farmer length.
1t is also known as the Roman bal
ance and Is of great antiquity.

OBITUARY..

Mr.. Fred Snyder Oldest son OF
Frederick and Elizabeth Snyder, was
born in Perrysburg, Ohio, March 1st,
1872: died April 18th, 1910.
He had taken a walk with his lit
tie son up to the river and when he
got back complained that he did not
feel well, and laid down on the couch
but suddenly got up and started for
the window, and then sitting down In
a chair without being able to speak
word expired.
Like a flash the messenger came,
whose step across the thresholo
brings grief and dismay and swift
pangs of unuterable heartaches TO
loved ones.
Softly he loosened the silver cord,
this quiet angel of life everlasting
whom we call death, and took our
loved one away. The whole COM
munitv was shocked to hear of his
death and to those who knew hlm'
his death comes as a personal De-
reayement. He was true, whole-
souled and Woodworking boy and was
loved for his kind ways and cheerful
heart.
A genial companion, an honorable
citizen, an upright boy was Fred
and we cover his bier with flowers
and wreath his memory with fond,
sweet recollections of true manhoou'
We mourn for him. and home and
community will miss him, and we
hope that his spirit has winged Its
fight to the pastures green In the
Kingdom of love. He leaves fath
er and mother, a wife and three chill
dren, one sister and four brothers tc
mourn his loss.
In their hour of sorrow we extend
our sympathy to his loved ones. We
humbly beseech the great and Mer
ciful Sovereign of the Universe tt
look down in pity and love upol
them, and at last gather them all in
to His Mansion Beyond the Stars.
A loving one from us has gone,
A voice that has been stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

consented
Mr. Lyberger has been in business
in this town for the past 18 years
and has many friends throughout the
county He never held many Offices
while serving his party, but has act
ed as a member of the board of edu-
cation and served on the village
council. He has been a faithful Re-
publican all his life and did his duty
as a worker for them. He was a
candidate for the nomination of the
same Office at the primaries in 1906,
and polled large vote, which encour-
aged him to try for 1t again. He has
always been economical in his bust
ness transactions and If elected to
the Office he seeks we believe he will
use the same methods in conducting
the business of the people. Any fa-
vors shown him we can assure you
will be gratefully received by him.
He will make a canvas of the county

BAND REoReANlzED.

The band boys have gotten togeth-
er in earnest again this spring, and
with the assistance of the business
men, have been enabled to get Mr..
Kahler back as conductor and in
structor, and it is proposed to give a
band concert each week for the bene-
fit of the town instead of making 1t
a serenade for individuals as has
been the custom in the past. The
band is now known as THE Citizens
Band" and 1t will be the purpose of
the committee having charge of its
affairs to have in mind at all times
the welfare and benefit that good
band may be to town and it's bust
ness men who have responded sc
generously to their call for little
financial backing in time of need
Now everybody pull together. Come
out and enjoy the band concerts each
! week. Invite your friends from the
country to drive in and hear the con
cert. A little enthusiastic apprecia
tion on the part of each of us won
cost anything and is known to worl
wonders. Announcement will be mad,
each week for the next concert.

AN Open LETTER
[. D. Hill States His Position on Leg
islatiye Matters.

Bowling Green, o., Apr 81, 1910.
To the Republicans of Wood County:
A few weeks ago l sent out let
ter to each of you stating my position
on some of the leading issues Of the
day. l find there are few issues in
which the people are vitally interest
ed that l did not give in my former
letter, hence l publish this open let
ter as an appendix to the one l mail
ed you before
1. l favor stringent "Anti-Lobby"
legislation.
2. l favor changing the date of the
County Primary election from May
to the latter part of August, so it will
not come at the busiest time of the
year for the farmer and to avoid
such long campaign after the nomi-
nations.
8. l am in hearty accord with the
work of Senator Beveridge and the
other progressive" Republicans in
the U. S. Senate, and if l am success
full in becoming Representative, will
use my influence and vote to elect
as U. s. Senator from Ohio PRO
gressive" Republican who will use
his influence and vote to put into ex
ecution the pledge of the Republican
National Platform of 1908, to-wit
viz. To revise the tariff downwar,
instead of upward and to put int
operation the well known Roosevelt
policies, Governmental Regulation O
Corporations. L. D. HILL,

Referring to William Hearst's re-
cent endorsement of President Taft
our Washington correspondent says:
No matter how much Mr.. Hearst may
think Taft is superior to Roosevelt,
he is evidently with the minority in
this opinion. The opinion prevailing
here is that Roosevelt will be a pres
idential candidate in 1912 and that
the nomination will be forced upon
him. 1t is also understood that Pres
dent Taft has had enough of the bur-
cided against candidacy for re-
election. Moreover, it Is announced
that he will advocate the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt. AS has often
been stated, Mr.. Taft prefers the law
to rulership. He has often made the
declaration that all his training has
been the Interpretation of the law.
He has aspired to a seat on the Su-
preme bench and surely the prepara
tion OF his life, not emitting the
highest office in the gift of the peo.
pie, has been in the direction of pre-
paration for the Supreme court. II
will indeed be unique to see an ex
president in the highest judicial Of
flee in the land. 1t is said by those
who profess to know that Chief Jus
tice Fuller of the Supreme court, al
though eligible to retirement, will re
main until the end of the presidential
term and will retire at a time thai
will enable Mr.. Taft's successor al
president to appoint him to the chic
justiceship.

Neighboring counties are sitting
up and taking notice of what Wood
county has accomplished in the way
of stone roads, and he has requests
for maps from many leading citizens
of other counties who are interested
in good roads.
Mr.. Bryant desires that one Of his
maps shall be in the hands of every
voter in the county, and any person
not securing one in reasonable time
is requested to drop card to him or
to the Derrick Office, Bloomdale, and
a copy will be mailed at once, free
of charge.
Mr.. Bryant's candidacy is meeting
with the approval of the Republicans
of the county. He is making a clean,
honorable campaign, with good
word for his opponents, as well as
for the candidates for the various
other offices. He is not only working
in the interest of his own campaign
but has his shoulder to the wheel in
the interest and success of the party
| in the county. Thoroughly compe'
tent to handle any emergency that
may arise in the auditors Office, with
a thorough knowledge of affairs OF
county and state, he would without
doubt, make most efficient auditor

COL. BRYANT'S ROAD MAP

The little pocket Good Roads
Map" issued by Col e. s. Bryant of
Bloomdale, Republican candidate for
county auditor is one of the most
popular advertisements ever gotten
out in the county, and the demand
for them is so great he has been un-
able to distribute them fast enough,
however, he expects to have one of
them in the hands of at least every
voter in the county before the pri-
maries. Not only are the maps a
winner in acquainting Mr.. Bryant
with the voters of the county, but
they are valuable to every citizen
and tax payer interested in good
roads, and will aid materially in
showing just how far this great i'm
provement extends and as an induce
ment to still further improve our pub
lie highways.
