FRANTIC SEARCH FOR WeoB
superstitious Customer In Modern
Barber Shop Had Hard Time to
Find the Object Desired.

well, how's the neuralgia" queried
the barber, sympathetically, as he
poised the razor over Thompson's
lathered face in tonsorial emporium.
Haven't had any since last"-and
then the barber was dumfounded to
see his customer rap hard on the arm
of the chair. He was further aston
ished when Thompson sat up, jumped
to the floor and ran to the marble
wash bowl, where another customer
was in process of being shampooed.
Thompson reached under the stool
on which the customer was sitting,
and raped it. Then, with look OF
dismay he turned wildly and made a
sprint to the cigar counter at the far
end Of the room. There he raped his
knuckles on the wooden frame, while
BARRIERS and customers, in various
stages Of barbering and hair cutting,
stopped and stared.
tits all right" he grinned from be.
hind his coat of lather. "Had to touch
wood, you know, after making thai
statement about not having had neu
ralgia. I sure don't want 1t again."
''You surely don't have much wood
in these places" he observed as the
barber somewhat gingerly began the
shaving operation anew. "This chail
is made Of enamel, glass, nickel and
leather, that stool seat is made OF
some kind Of leatherette composition
and I do believe the only thing II
your shop made of wood is that cigal
counter frame.'
Then Thompson's barber and tn,
other BARRIERS went on shaving.

HELPED CUT GREAT NOVELIST
Schoolgirl Friend of His Daughter Sup
piled Names for Thackeray's<
Great Story.

A delightful Thackeray anecdote
(which, SO far as one remembers. Is
new) has turned up at the dinner Of
the Colquhoun club The guests in-
ciuded Philip Newman, who recount
ed that his wife when a girl happened
to go to the same school as the nov
elist's daughters and afterwards kept
UP an intimacy with the family.
One day, when she was out for q
walk with Miss Thackeray, the latter
mentioned that her father had started
new story but was at a loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name. The fu-
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fiance
in her thoughts, suggested that his
name, "Philip," might serve the pur-
pose.
At that moment who should come
UP unobserved behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself. Making his
presence known by laying hand on
shoulder of each of the young peo-
pie, he asked why they were so deep
in conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray, turning around, revealed
the subject under discussion and told
him her friends suggestion as to the
hero's name.
Admirable" was Thackeray's YER
dict. "And now, my DEAR" he went
on, "what is your own name?" Char
lotte." "Well, that's very nice name
roo," was the response, and Thack-
cray wore look Of satisfaction.
The result was the tale called "The
Adventures Of Philip" in which the
principal woman character figures as
~Charlotte."-Pall Mall Gazette.

SEAS PERlLs EVER PRESENT
Maneuvers and Sham Battles canno!
Be Held Without the Element
of Danger.

1t is the great distinction of the sea
that its peace maneuvers are never
cham fights. To whatever branch or
grade of the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he is always face to face with
'the real thing" A mistake of any
sort, pardonable miscalculation,
tion, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manli.
ness, resourcefulness and self-control.
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
Its own, as the sad tale of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is OF
q nature to make profound impres.
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number of submarines in com
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out of all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative OF the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda,
tion Of naval character, and are a
pledge, in no small degree, of the Sc,
Surity upon which as a nation we re,
pose.

Jealous Fishes In a Duel.

Claron L Shafer, the slghtless lee
turer employed by the Ohio Commls-
sion for the Blind, is coming to
Perrysburg. He is going to give one
of his interesting lectures at the NJ. Il.
Church on the evening of Monday,
April %.
The lecture is going to be absolutely
free, and no collection is to be taken
up as the lectures are a part of the
campaign being waged by the Ohio
Commission for the blind in the pre-
yentlon of blindness. Mr.. Shafer is
totally blind himself, and being a
graduate of the State School for the
Blind at Columbus, he is well qualified
to talk on the subject.
The lecture is profusely illustrated
with views of actual scenes of the
School for the Blind, the Fairgrounds
of the blind, home working of the
sightless, and hundreds of other things
that the ordinary person would never
think Of. Thousands have heard Mr..
Shafer deliver this lecture and sat
amazed as the magic lantern views
were thrown upon the screen, and
blind children at work and at play
were brought before them. No less
interesting is the work for the Com
mission in providing work in their
own homes for the blind women of
Ohio. In addition to the view dealing
with the public and private work of
the blind he shows many views where
with more diligence and care, blind
ness could have been prevented.
Everywhere Mr.. Shafer has
been received with enthusiastic audi
ences, and nothing more interesting
has been presented. 1t will be a
lecture we'll worth hearing and
the views shown will be just as
interesting to the young as to the old.
The State Commission are just now
busily engaged in teaching blind wom-
On work by which they may be able in
their own homes to make wages. and
become self-supporting- an opportun
ity which many have so long desired.
This branch of the WORK is also taken
up by Mr.. Shafer, and altogether his
lecture is one that should not be mis-
sed by the people of Perrysburg.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD
STOMACH.
This Offer SholId Be a Warning to Every
:, Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative to
famous millionaire's offer Of 8 million
dollars for new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition Of his
stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to
run from bad to worse until In the end It
became incurable.
His misfortune serves as warning to
others.
Every ono who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything he
owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an alb
normal state Of the gastric juices, or by
lack OF tone in the walls Of the stomach
The result Is that the stomach loses It's
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply certain miss
ing elements-to help to restore to the
gastric juices their digestive power, and to
aid In making the stomach strong and
we'll.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are q most dependable remedy for 6isor-
dered stomachs, indigestion, and dyspep-
sia.
We want you to try them and will re-
turn your money II you are not more than
satisfied with the result.
Three sizes, 25 cents, 80 cents, and $19O.

dies in this community only at our store
