Dublin, one of the quaintest of Ohio towns, is preparing to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of its founding. But for the slip of one cog, Dublin would have had more historical interest and been a big town, instead of a rural hamlet. The history of how Dublin failed to become the capital of the Buckeye State has b«en forgotten by many, perhaps most of the old residents of the State, and is* unknown to the present generation. However, i t was by the narrowest margin th a t it missed being chosen the seat of gov­ ernment of Ohio, and it *was this misB tha t brought the present city o t Columbus Into existence. I t was in 1810 tha t the Legislature created a commission to select a site for the State capital. The commis­ sion immediately turned its atten­ tion to the central portion of the State, and soon restricted lts'consid- eration to three villages in Franklin county—Dublin, Worthington, and Franklinton. Dublin found favor among the members of the commis­ sion, and after hearing the claims of the people of all three villages, they submitted a report to the Legisla­ ture, recommending th a t Dublin bo seleoted. One of ths strong points of argument In favor of the choice of the commission was the fact that the Scioto river was navigable’ to that point, and as transportation facilities were almost entirely re­ stricted to water navigation, Dublin waB held to have strong advantages over Its rivals. Frank fin ton, which is now the west aend ol the present capital city, was rejected because it was too low and liable to be over­ flowed with every rise In the waters of the Scioto river. When the recommendation of the commission of the Legislature be' came known there was a flood of protests from both Worthington and Franklinton, and by the employ­ ment of political pull and influence the enterprising and public-spirited citizens ot Franklinton succeeded in holding up the report and arresting final action until they could sabmlt another proposition. A popular subscription was started, and In a short time a committee representing the people of the town, submitted to the Legislature in session a t Chilli- cothe, an oiler to move the village to the high bank on the opposite side of the river, and there dohate the ground and erect the buildings for the use ot the State. This maneuver sealed the fate of Dublin and con­ signed it to the rural realms for all future time. The proposition was accepted, Franklinton was moved across the Scioto river to tbo east batik, the State capltol was estab­ lished there, and the present city of Columbus was born, Its centennial will be celebrated one year after tha t of Dublin, which has but a slightly larger population than when it almost became the capital city of the S tate., Physician’s Great Ally. • Ho Is the. best physician who is the best inspircr of hope.—Coleridge.

Oat there across the land must be devel­ oped a permanent backing for the movement; hero must be worked out the details in form ot actual laws and repeals of laws. Talking recently with progressive leaders, I have been impressed with a suggestion borne In on them from every side—tlie danger is th a t the people, knowing of the victories won here and there; will sit complacent with folded'hands; and say: “Toddy or LaFollotte or Bryan or Folk will win thl» ultimate victory." The ap peal, therefore, goes out from these leaders to the mass of tlie voters “This war has only begun. Tho hardest fighting remains to be done. Only the An erican people can win the ultimate victory."—John Lath- rop, in December Paclile Monthly.

In the center of a room place a Inrgo round table covered with a green cloth scattered all over with small boughs of evergreen frosted with tinsel. Suspended from the chandelier and hanging just far enough apart to admit a little light from above have garlands sparkling with frost, With tho ends fastened to the sides of the table, three-quarters of the way around it. The effect will be that of a tent. Tito other quarter should be )le£t open, ho that one may look Inside and dee nil immense cornucopia cov­ ered with silver paper, with its open ehd toward the front. As though emerging from It the Christmas fairy (a' wax doll), sparkling In robes of white and silver, should be poised. A frosted wreath should crown her golden curls, and in her hand she should hold a long silver wand. The cornucopia should seem to he empty­ ing itself luto tbo glittering train of the good fairy.
