STEVENSON'S SERMON
ON TREATMENT OF DOG

Robert Louis Stevenson detested
cruelty, and many pretty instances
are related of his thoughtfulness
and kindliness of heart. Once at
Pitlochry the great novelist inter
fered to stop the ill-treatment of a
dog. "What business is it of
yours" -" the man retorted roughly.
" He amt your dog"
"No, but he's Gods dog" Stew
enson declared, stoutly, "and | am
here to protect him"
At this hour when cruelties in
every form prevail throughout so
great a portion of the civilized (O
world, it is consoling to feel that
our own great nation even with
some degree of humiliation, still
stands and strives for peace; that
while other nations are at war, in
our country, we are this week cele-
brating, "Mercy Week" and en-
deavoring to instruct and educate
the people in the ways of peace
and gentleness reaching. even to
Gods lowliest creatures, who min
ister to our happiness, our needs

Continued from First Page.

painted savages would descend
into this valley and massacre the
entire population, and they had
not long to wait. The story of the
flight of the settlers from the Rap
ids is exciting in the extreme. !
Peter Minor, Frcnchman, raised
among the Indians, notified Major |
Spafford of the British and Indian
intentions; and, within a few
hours the flight began. Some went
down the lake in boats; others fol-
lowed Hull's trail to the south.
while some secreted themselves
awaiting developments. The red
men soon appeared and cattle,
swine, and everything available
was taken away and the settlers
cabins burned.
The coming of Harrison s army,
the building the next year of Fort
MeigS and its siege, the massacre
Of Dudley's command across the
river is told in history and will not
be entered into at this time. The
Fort was for the most part eyacu-
ated by Harrison in the spring Of
1914, and the next year, 1915, the
settlers began to return to their
former beautiful but now devas-
tated homes. AT this time and
place begins the real settlement of
this region at the Foot of the Rap
ids Of the Maumee.
"Orleans" was so named in
commemoration of the victory
over the British in the north, be-
cause New Orleans was the site of
the victory of General Jackson
over Packenham at the battle of
New Orleans at the mouth of the
Mississippi river.
The first grant Of land was to
Amos Spafford in 1916, known as
"Spafford S Grant 1t was for
100 acres and lay adjacent to Fort
Meigs and was signed by James
Monroe.
That same year, by special act of
Congress, our present town of
Perrysburg was ordered surveyed,
but "Orleans for some time
| thereafter continued to be the cen,
tral point of activity at the Foot of
the Rapids.
In a letter to Amos Spafford,
Postmaster and Collector of Gus
toms of the Port of Miami" at
Orleans" Josiah Meigs wrote as
follows:
Dear Friend AS you will
have town on the Miami of Erie,
it will be well to think of the name
it is to bear. The act does not
give a name. Who is to christen
| it? | wish you would think on the
subject and let me have your
wishes. For my part | will barely
suggest to you that, if it would be
named Perryville or Perrytown-
or in some other form, which may
always remind us of the victory
of Erie-it would be good policy.
[ believe it in your power to give
the name"
| Major Spafford with the advice
of others of his fellow townsmen
finally adopted the name of
"Perrysburg.'
While the above few lines on the
history of this community is writ
ten in more or less disconnected
way, it should stimulate us to
search for and know the history Of
this old town and community. This
should be entered into especially
| by the young, as the time is fast
lpassing when much, that is in the
minds of our old residents and
never having been written, will
soon be lost to the future genera
tions.

in charge of the days program. A
very large and appreciative audience
was in attendance to listen to the
treat in store. Mrs. Wood knows
how to say just the right thing at
the right time and make people wish
to hear more from her She first in
troduced Mrs. Galley whose subject
was Eugenics. Never have we heard
this subject more thoroughly or clear
ly discussed nor in such an intelli-
gent manner, she had her subject
well in hand, had charts to prove
her statements and knew exactly
what she was talking about. This
was rounded out by a sweet personal
ity which seemed to lend dignity to
story so beautifully told.
Following was a contralto solo
by Mrs. Ryan, accompanied by Mrs.
Graham. The Portia ladies could have
listened spell-bound all afternoon to
her clear rich voice-a sweet voice
one does not soon forget. She re-
sponded to encore, and sang
dear little lullaby which carried one
back to their childhood days
The last number on the program
was an intensely interesting talk
on Textile Fabrics by Miss Blake,
who is Domestic Science instructor
in the Weiser Institute. We are sorry
that more people, especially the
school children, could not have heard
this splendid useful talk. Her dis
play of original charts and tests of
fabrics showed the thoroughness of
her work and the amount Of deep
thought she had given it.
At the close of the program the
Outlook Club ladies, including thirty
two Club members and visitors, were
taken to the Commercial Hotel,
where a delicious dinner was served.
The Club colors of purple and white
being carried out in table flowers
and decorations. Dinner over, the
time rolled by so quickly that hur-
ried departure was necessary In or
der to catch the westbound train. All
arrived at the depot in autos pro-
vided by the good ladies of Pay
cite, with the exception of one
Weiser visitor. 1t is needless to say
she reached there in time in great
H.
expense of good joke on one Of the
Payette ladies.
Taking it all in all there has Ger.
tainly been two red letter days in
club life during the month Of March
1916. One for the Outlook Club of
Weiser and one for the Portia Club
of Payette.
