MESSENGER soYs IN ssRLIN.
Useful as Escorts for Lone Women
and Substitutes for Nursemalds.

Berlin has just adopted the dis
trict messenger. The boys veal

fantrymen.
Their uniform is blue with red
pipings and red stripes down the
seams of the trousers. The coats
are military blouses with stiff, braid
ed upright collars. There are six
buttons in groups Of two so arranged
that both regular and shoulder belts
may be worn. The latter has a regu-
lar cartouche case for the safe keep
ing of letters or small parcels.
Oddly enough, it is not so much
in a business way that the system has
attracted the Berlinese. They have
taken it up as a kind Of social and
domestic auxiliary.
The boys are already in request as
escorts to lone women; this is a spe-
cial boon in a city where a respect
able woman can hardly stir out of
doors after dark without either es-
cort or chaperon.
Many households are also saving
the expense of a nursemaid by call
ing a boy to trundle the baby's per-
ambulator for an hour or so or per-
haps to romp with the larger chill
dren in one of the parks. Boys are
also seen giving French poodles their
airings and Berlin lovers are said
to have found them a more trust
worthy medium of communication
than the mails.
The peaceful Berlinese are not vet
accustomed to the novelty and as the
boys 60 about the streets on their
various errands crowds stand to gaze
at them. The boys are rigidly
drilled, especially in politeness.

A veteran business man of Fostor-
la who has been in the harness all
his long life and expects to keep up
the exercise until the last, attributes
his good health and youthfulness to
his lifelong habits of industry. "In-
action" said he "is more injurious
than over-work. l never heard Of a
man killing himself by over work,
but l do know of many who die from
underworld. have kept track of the
retired farmers who move into Fos-
toria. On an average they live just
three and one-half years after set
tling down to the retired life. The
reason of this is that they lose the
exercise to which they were accus-
toned. They stop work but they
keep on eating at the same rate that
they followed when engaged in the
heavy work of the farm. The result
is that they can't last."-Fostoria

The deaths of Hoxie and Moissant
were horrible in the extreme. OF
course they were the victims of their
own foolish daring, but it Is none the
less sad to read of such untimely and
utterly uncalled for and violent
deaths. Their daring was not in be-
half of the welfare of humanity and
served no useful purpose. Such per-
formances-where men risk their
lives for sport, purely-should be pro-
hibited by law.-Bloomdale Derrick.
We cannot agree with the Derrick
editor. Hoxie and Moissant were
not merely "risking their lives for
SPORT" but were using their strength
and nerve to develope science
which has been the subject of great
interest for ages, and they did much
to prove that aerial navigation is not
only possible, but can be made of
great service to the people of the
world. If all hazardous undertakings
were prohibited by law" as suggest
ed by the Derrick, there would be
very little development in science,
and the world would soon be at a
stand-still. We say all hail to the
man whose nerve and skill enables
him to develope something new and
wonderful in this world.

Mrs. Fiske and her famous Manhat-
tan Company are to appear at the
Valentine Theatre on Saturday, jan
uary 28th. She brings to Toledo the
play with which, more that any other
her fame is most inseparably con-
nected, becky Sharp" 1t is doubt
full if any character ever given to the
stage is so closely related to it's crea-
tor as is Becky Sharp" to Mrs.
Fiske. Not until Langdon Mitchell's
dramatization of Thackeray's famous
novel Vanity Fair" had there ever
been a successful stage version of
that literary masterpiece, but through
Mr.. MitchelPs work and the absolute
realization on the part of Mrs. Fiske
of "the immortal Becky" not only
was a tremendous interest reawaken-
ed in Thackeray but Becky" as a
stage figure became as compelling an
addition to dramatic, as she had
been these many years to literary,
portraiture.

treasurer had over $4,000 of the
States money on deposit with the de-
funct institution. Under the rules OF
the State Auditors Office this money
should have been transmitted 10 the
auditor December 18th. The city treas
urer delayed his settlement and in the
meantime the Deposit and Trust Com
pany was closed. Treasurer Robinson
is personally liable, together with his
sureties. Unfortunately, however, the
failed institution was his surety as well
as his banker. Besides depositing
money as treasurer, Mr.. Robinson also
had money on deposit in the bank as an
individual. This private account he
has assigned to the State. At the au-
ditor's office there is no suggestion Of
doubt of the treasurer's honesty and
