OTTO AND THE FAIRY.

~ NOE. upon a time there was
a little boy named Otto, who
did not like to go to school
One day he took his books
and slate under his arm, but instead
of going to school he went into the
woods and lay down under the trees,
where 1t was nice and cool, and began
to read.
Presently he felt the leaf of the
book he was reading move, and, look
ing up. he saw a fairy sitting on
the top of the book.
why didn't you go to school?" she
..I do not like to go to school," re-
piled Otto; "and, besides that. II Is too
warm 10 sit indoors"
IF everyone thought the same as
you do" replied the fairy, "the world
would be full of ignorant people"
That would not bother me" replied

Fine Chance for Sfar.Gazers.

A most interesting and spectacular
astral phenomenon is promised the
country Wednesday and Thursday
nights of this week. Mars and Saturn
will be in conjunction Wednesday
night and the following night Mars.
Saturn and the moon will be in con-
junction.
Mars apparently will pass very close
to Saturn and to the naked eye Wed
nesday it will appear as bright as a
double star, since the distance between
the two will be only FL minutes of an
arc or about tWo-thirds the apparent
width of the moon.
Mars will pass north of Saturn, and
the moon will be to the left or east of
the planets. 1t will be close Wednes-
day night but Thursday the three will
almost appear as one.
Except for the moon the two planets
Will be the brightest objects in the
sky Wednesday night, say astronomers.
Mars is very bright now, almost as
bright as Venus. Saturn also is
bright, and the two together will form
a sight well worth looking at.
They will rise about ten O'Clock and
stay together all night side by side.
Ihey Will be very conspicuous.

Candidates for Council An

TheIpresent members of the City
Council are announced in this issue az
Democratic candidates for nomination
for election in November.
Their management of the different
departments deserves endorsement of
the heartiest kind as during their term
the city's streets have all been put in
the very best condition, many new
ones having been made and the old
ones having been thoroughly recon-
structed. Many new pavements have
been laid and the general condition of
the city is as good as can be found in
any city of its class.
The best feature of it all is that this
has all been accomplished with a
lowered tax rate and without borrow
ing money in the present year as has
been necessary for number of years
heretofore.
1t would be the proper thing to re-
turn the present council without oppo-
sltion as an expression of appreciation
OF the discharge of their duties with
such, faithfulness and eminent success.

THE KNAPP IDEA.
Punishment Should Fit the Criminal,
A. A.. Tx;r,s0

Punishment Should Fit the Criminal,
Not the Crime"
what do you think Of chief OF po-
lice who loves Emerson, reads Walt
Whitman and believes in the Christ
idea as a good working proposition
every day in the week." asks George
Creel in the American Magazine.
"Well, that's Perry Knapp Of Toledo,
o., and prominent above all else in his
Office is this placard: Punishment
Should Fit the Criminal, Not the
Crime That's the Knapp idea! He
doesn't divide humanity into good
and bad classes, nor does he believe
that justice is best served by malig-
nant and relentless pursuit of every Of
fender against some law. Instead Of
considering himself as a milestone for
the grinding of human grist, he acts
as a man dealing with men. While
convinced that society needs protec-
ton against wrongdOers, he rejects
the usual theory that society must be
revenged on wrongdoers.
"'Golden Rule Jones took clubs
away from the policemen and gave
them canes. When Perry Knapp was
promoted to be chief he banished the
canes, so that the Toledo bluecoats
really express the majesty of the law,
not a mere threat of violence.
"Of course there are those who be-
lieve that vice and crime must be
6oolt with nv fOroo and that fba
slightest gentleness will encourage
wrongdoing. AS an answer to these
the percentage of crime is less in To-
ledo than any other city of it's size IN
the country. And many chief Of po-
lice, scratching his head in perplexed
fashion, has wondered why Perry
Knapp has so little trouble"

MISSED HIS GUESS.
Commissioner Of Patents Ellsworth
Was a Poor Prophet.

Commissioner of Patents Ellsworth.
Was a Poor Prophet.
In one week recently the patent
office issued 77S patents. The total
number issued up to date was 994 ,1O4,
in sight of the million mark
In view of these figures the follow
ing excerpt from. the report of the
commissioner of patents for the year
1S43 is of interest as showing how
widely man, even a commissioner Of
patents, can miss his guess:
The whole number Of patents issued by
the United States up to January, 1874, was
1883. The patents granted for the past
year Qs40 were 531 in number, exceeding
those Of the previous year by twenty-four.
The advancement of the arts from year
to year taxes our credulity and seems to
presage the early arrival OF that period
when human improvement must end.
HENRY w. ELLSWORTH,
Commissioner OF Patents.
In 1874 there were no telegraphs, tel
ephones, automobiles, electric lights Or
motors, monographs or airships. Anti
septic surgery was still in the dim flu
ture, and doctors were swathing ty-
phoid fever patients in blankets and
immuring them in unventilated rooms,
while people still walked ten miles to-
see railroad train.-New York Tunes

Fire of an unknown origin broke out
IN the store of Bonnie Weissberg at an
early hour Sunday morning and entail
ed a loss on the stock of clothing
carried by the establishment to the
extent of $1,000, which is only partly
covered by insurance. while the build
ing on Main street in which it is locat-
ed suffered but little damage.
The fire was discovered about 2 80
o'clock by Patrolman Chas. Thomas
who sent in the alarm and in a few
minutes the fire department was on
the scene. Patrolman Thomas, who
was making his rounds, saw smok e
emitting from the windows of the
building and made an investigation
finding the entire building filled with
a dense smoke.
The fire department responded to an
alarm from Box DC and had two lines
turned into the threatened building.
At first 1t was thought the fire had
started on the second floor and line
of hose was run to the second story.
This floor was flooded with water be-
fore it was observed the fire was
smouldering among the clothing on the
first floor.
The firemen effected an entrance
from Main street by breaking out the
plate glass in the front door and it was
not long before the seat of the fire
was located. The burning clothes
were thrown out on the floor and exs
tinguished.
Owing to the location of the store,
which is in the Singer building be
tween the clothing store of Mitchell &
Blakemore and the Postal Telegraph
office and wall paper store of S. +.
Borland, which adjoins the tlvery
stable of ID. w. Peed, it was feared
for time disastrous fire would re-
suit. The timely discovery and the
prompt work of the firemen before it
got beyond control, probably prevent
ed serious confagration.
Most of the damage sustained by
Mr.. Weissberg, was from the smoke
and water. Outside of several suits of
clothes and number of pairs of over
alls, nothing else was burned. The
floors were flooded with water which
ran through from the second story
greatly damaging the fixtures upon
which he carried Insurance to the
amount of $500 with the agency of w.
Il. Thompson.
Upon the stock Mr.. Weissberg car
ried $4,000 insurance, $1,000 with
Mcclure & Clendenin, and 81. 600 each
with the agencies of Wilmotn and
Warden and c. l.. Blackerby.
