the narrowing influences of the tribe
of Manhattan had denied him full priv
ilege He had trodden all the main
Travelled thoroughfares and many Of
the side roads that are supposed to re-
lieve the tedium Of life. But none had
sufficed. The reason was that he knew
what was to be found at the end of
every street.
At the end of an hours stroll FOrs-
ter stood on a corner Of a broad,
smooth avenue, looking disconsolately
across it at picturesque old hotel soft
ly but brilliantly lightcd-disconsolate-
ly because he knew that he must dine,
and dining in that hotel was no ven
ture. 1t was one of his favorite cara
vansaries, and so silent and swift
would be the service and so delicately
choice the food that he regretted the
hunger that must be appeased by the
dead perfection" of the places cui-
sine. Even the music there seemed to
be always playing da capo.
Fancy came to him that he would
dine at some cheap, even dubious res
taurant lower down in the city, where
the. erratic chefs from all countries OF
the world spread their national COOK
cry for the OmnivOrous American.
Something might happen there out Of
the routine.
So John Reginald Forster began to
search his clothes for money, because
the more cheaply you dine the more
surely must you pay. All of the thir-
teen pockets, large and small. of his
business suit he explored carefully and
found not a penny. His bank book
showed balance of five figures to his
credit in the Old Ironsides Trust com
pany, but
Forster became aware of man near
by at his left hand who was really re-
garding him with some amusement.
He looked like any business man Of
thirty or so, neatly dressed and stand
ing in the attitude Of one waiting for
a street car.
GAN imp asked the intruder, draw
ing nearer
Seems So" said Forster. NOW.

"Oh. know said the other man,
laughing But there wasn't. I've just
been through the same process myself
aS i was coming around the corner. 1
found in an upper vest pocket--I don't
know how they got there-exactly two
pennies"
"You, haven't dined thenT asked
Forster.
II have not. But / would like 10.

WATER
POWER
SCHEME
VIII BE Fought by Farmers Who
Meet Here To-Day 20 Cuss
and Discuss Question.

Last Saturday number of land own
ers residing along the south side of the
Grand Reservoir met at the Cincinnati
clubhouse and decided to atteud in a
body the meeting of the State Board OF
Public Works held at Columbus last
Tuesday.
Tuesday some forty landowners from
this county, as well as few from Aug
laize, Shelby and Logan counties met the
Board. They gave the board to under
stand that they would not tolerate the
change of the natural water course and
protested against the addition of fifty
thousand acres of water to the Grand
Reservoir when the water shed is to the
southeast. They complained of the low
bond of S25, 600 to the State to indemni-
fly the State for damages, and the mig
gardly price of $4,000 per year for the
use of the water, that the Board had
never given the land owners notice and
that it had the appearance of unfair play.
J. NJ. Ashley the head and mostly the
body of the Auglaize Power Co., who is
to profit by this tremendous and unpar-
alleled public grant, was present and said
he felt he should be given credit for his
act of charity to Ohio, which was losing
on its canal system many thousand of
dollars each year.
He said he could develop 10000 horse
power from the Auglaize River at Def
ance eight or nine months of each year
and with the storage of the reservoirs he
could run the year round; but if he could
not get it he would have to put in aux
Hilary steam power He said he owned
1885 of the 10, 900 shares of stock of 500
each, the fifteen remaining shares being
held in his family. He expects his plant
to be in operation making electricity by
the first of May and would have wires
into Toledo, Napoleon, Bowling Green,
Findlay and Defiance.
The farmers along Beaver were not
represented by any one except Represen-
tative S. ]. Vining and Hon. w. f. Tou-
Velle, both of whom made strong ap-
peals for a square deal. ]. Gieseke, I.
