PART OF HUMOR.
It was tho Baying of an ancient
sago that humor was tho only test of
gravity, and gravity of humor, for a
subject that would not bear ralllory
Is suspicious, and a Jest that will not
bear a sorlous examination Is cer
tainly folso to It. Dut tho laws of
humor must apply to tho laws of good
brooding If tho humor Is to bo genu
inely appreciated. It Is well that our
conversation Bhould bo spiced with
wit, but should smack o'f cleanliness
and not of tho low and vulgar sugges
tions. It Is a growing pity that men
and women aro becoming careless in
'their forms of speech. It may offend
many to hear this, but it is tho truth,
land sometimes tho truth is an uhcom
ifortablo champion. Thero aro also
leases in which a Joko becomes posl
'tlvoly good becauso it is so lntolor
tably bad, not In a moral sense, but
jln a humorous ono. Such Jokes aro
,applauded in an inverse ratio of their
real merit, an tho great monors aro
(frequently showored upon men who
'havo tho least honor. A good laugh
is a great euro for dyspepsia, but tho
laugh must bo honestly aroused. It
jmust como from a wholesome source.
A vory proper gonoral order has
been issued by tho chief of police of
(Cincinnati prohibiting tho scattering
Ibroadcast in that city of tho ashes of
'tho cremated dead. People who havo
read of tho disposition made- of tho
iromalns of tho podt Joaquin Miller
1 on his monntoln-sldo homo at Oakland,
conceive tho notion that It is a ro
mantic thing for human ashes to bo
thrown into tho nlr from tho top of a
(skyscraper or other toll building, and
I carried by tho wind, which bloweth
iwhlther It listoth. To others tho prac
tlco savors of disrespect for the dead.
jTho health department of Cincinnati
I has declared that It is unsanitary.
iCortalnly It makes a wholly suporflu
tous addition to the dust nuisance,
Iwhlch in every largo city Is bad
enough as matters stand.
That tho lay public is greatly In
itorested In practical electrical devel
opment Is forcefully shown In tho ln
icreasing attendance at tho annual elec
Itrlcal shows hold In Now York, Bos
iton and Chicago, as well as at demon
istratlonB of household appliances glv
ion at Intervals by central stations
throughout tho country. At the latest
electrical exposition In New York
there was an attendance on ono ove-
jnlng of 21,000 visitors, followed on
tho next day by 2C.000. About 600,
000 persons visited the Boston Bhow In
four wooks. A central station in tho
west recently entertained 1,500 ladles
1 at on afternoon tea at which coffee
and cake making on electrical appll
lances were practically demonstrated.
Tho Texas polico are fearless In
Itackllng the hard problems of tho
I day. In Galveston ono of tho chief
topics discussed by their state or
ganization at Its convention was
how to control tho wealthy and in
fluential Lawbreaker. When they
have solved thiB knotty problem it
Is to bo hoped they will give tho rest
of tho country tho benefit of the
solution. It Is too valuable a discov
ery to bo confined to ono state.
All tho eggs from tho chicken farm
which tho Prlnco PlgnatollI d'Arrag
non has established at Merrick, Long
Island, are to bo identified by tho
princo'B crest as a trade mark. That
,may help to soil them at a good price
for uso in "socloty." But tho Danish
I system of stamping on each egg tho
,dato when It was laid will continue
I to mako a strong appeal to practical
'minds.
1 A $15,000 homo for cats to cover
two acres and have all modern im
provements is to bo built In Now
York. Yet it Is likely that tho anl-
I mala for whom It is Intended will wall
In tho midst of all thoir luxury for
tho freedom of tho back fence
which represents their Idea of fellno
bliss.
A war aeroplano has been dropping
bombs upon Mexican soldiers, says a
roport. It Is a comment upon human
Invention that beforo ono of this
kind bocomos safo even for Its oper
ators, it is bolng put to destructive
uses.
A university girl in, her commence-
mont oration declares "freedom has do
generated." ThiB statomont from
isuch a source will, no doubt, mako
itho leaders of tho nation sit up and
"toko notice.

Wm. Lahoy of Bays.
Joo HulTord, wife and children
visited with Wm. C. Brosma and fam
ily Sunday.
Tho tranquil spirit which has so
long prevailed in Glennwood was sad
ly jarred on Friday last when a couple
of so-called baudita for a short time
sent a thrill of terror to the hearts of
the peaceful inhabitants of tho com
munity. Tho lono housekeeper on
whom the brunt of the scare fell
phoned a near by neighbor where a
threshing crew wero at work. The
men arming themselves with pitch
lorks and other available weapons
rushed quickly to the scene of conflict
only to find instead of real bandits
two fair maidens and several broken
windows. After the first scare was
over every ono foil to guessing what
prompted these fair maidens to such
a deed. Somo said it was caused by
womans desire to be equal with man
in all thiugs or an over supply of be
lief in a police court verdict handed
down at tho recent Festival. But
tho wise ones say it was only a ruse of
the bride to be to test his temper and
nerve.
While it is possible that "corpora
tions have no souls," as is frequently
stated, yet it is a fact that Managers
of corporations some times do much
more for the general public than they
are given credit, and in this respect
we are pleased to call attention to tho
fact that when the Perrysburg Civic
Association called upon Manager
Lovett of the Valley Light & Power
coin pan v, and stated the need of light
for the street Festival held here two
weeks since, he immediately replied
that he would not only furnish the
current necessary but would assist in
the work of installing the lines and
promptly on the morning mentioned
his men were on the job with instruc
tions to give the association what they
wanted. Mr. Lovett's very prompt
and hearty co operation with the asso
ciation indicates that his company are
anxious to show to the people that they
wish to assist in every manner possible
in the upbuilding of the towns where
in their company may have interests
HORSE KILLED.
Driving across a Btreet car track in
front of a rapidly moving car is not

Boundary street. The horse was killed
and the buggy badly damaged, but
tho men escaped.

Be sure your new home has that important modern
convenience electric light. There are many such
and they are in great demand by those who know
how to enjoy them. The modern electric light is so
much better than any other that no one need hesi
tate about the cost. The General Electric Com
pany has perfected its MAZDA lamp which gives
twice as much light as ordinary electric lamps using
an equal amount of electricity.
We Have G.E. MAZDA Lamps
For all those who live in wired houses we offer an
opportunity of getting the benefit of the great light
giving quality of these lamps. For those who own
