One o f our young men who em­ barked in the- chicken business not many years ago, ..concluded that he would set a ’hen,, but was somewhat timid about the, work for fear of be­ ing pecked by the old hen. She was bound to set anyway, and hefthought it would pay better to let her hatch out.some chickens,’ So he invented a way to get the eggs under her with­ out danger of getting pecked. He rtofjk a corset box and removed both ends; This made a shuts which he placed under biddy, then he dropped an pgg in the slot and*allowed it tp roll-to place. Thus he got, all the eggs where they' would do the most good, and yet did not risk his lifeby getting hen-pecked. -a — At any rate the hands of a clock never strike for shorter hours. ■ A man who took a city paper in preference to one printed in his home town because he could'get more read' ing out of it, was attracted by the advertisement of a. pocket fire escape, which would be forwarded bn receipt of one dollar, - He sent the cash and. in a few days received a copy of the New Testament. ■ , Ideal* Entertain.

The Herald’s Scoop on a -rumor which*was mentioned In last week’s issue caused quite a little commotion in Xenia the first of the week,-, A noted Divine oi the -Capitol took- a copj of the .Herald and “ ten minute lectures” and “ heatt*to,heart talks’* to a number of the fntizeus of that place. . In fact the rumor,was soon squelched and the “ ex-deraimraP who had been motioned as a possiblecan­ didate for State senator was side tracked, and every tiringplaeed in A ft«w*Departure, The Herald will, beginning with the first issue in June, give a full list of the money orders ju they are issued by the county auditor, Tbte will show our readers for what it has been issued, to whom, and how allowed. The manner in which the commis- ttoner* report have been “ dished up” of late, gives the casual reader only a faint idea o f vhatis being dofie with the county finances. It ha# been the object of the Herald to give to the public only suah state* meets as were correct, and we will trace 10 the end anything ‘that 1ms th$ sligheat mark Jof crookedness. This coubty has gained considerable notoriety with the conduct of sdme of her offices ami it is nothing more than proper that each tax payer knows where every dollar goes, and for what, Remember unless, everything is on the “ straight” someone.has their fin­ gers “ oft your pocket-book,” . .

It is aft imposition onthe pub­ lic to conduct aperformance on such grounds. Evidently Manager Jack- son was not familiar with the show or he wouldhave advertised it asa troupe representing a certain’ firm’s goods, and in this,wav’ would not have de­ ceived a home audience, ItJbas always been a difficult mat­ ter to get a paying,house for enter­ tainments here, but if this is to he the principle; Cedarvillo need never ex­ pect a first class entertainment, Im­ agine yourself sitting in' a seat that cost you-thirty-five cento, listening’ to some firm’s advertising tale of woe.
