LaucrliincT Around the

World
The Stranger in the House
By IRVIN S. COEB
'T'lIIS little incident, dates back a pood many years, when a certain
well-known publisher of New York was somewhat younger than
he is at present. His only daughter, now a charming young matron
with a baby of her own, had just passed her fourt'- birthday. Let us
call her Clara, which is not her real rame.
Since before his marriage, t'.ie gentleman in question had worn a
board. The little girl, of course, had never seen her father except with
a mustache and whiskered chops.
One Saturday night, moved by a whim, ho told the barber to give
him a clean shave. Then he went home and to bed. Next morning early
little Clara came from the nursery to kiss her paients. The mother was
awakp; her daddy still snoozed.
The child was in the act cf kissing her mother, when her gaze
fell upon the smooth face on the pillow in the adjacent bed. Her eyes
widened with astonishment.
Teavir? her mother's side, the little thing tip-toed across the room
and subjected the countenanced! the sleeper to a puzzled stare. Then
she crept back again to where the wife was.
"Mother, dear," she said in an awed whisper, "who is the strange
gentleman"

W. T. AVeddell, who came to that
place something over fifty years ago
from his old home in Pennsylvania,
advised the writer a few days ago
that the passing years have brought
many changes there. Mr. Weddell
went to work for the Ilailsback
drain company on his arrival there,
and remained in their employ for
more than ten years. Of the busi
nessmen of Ashland at the time he
came there, the only one remainin.T
today is J. C. Railsback, who was
president of the grain company, and
is now president of the City Xationa!
Dank. The passing years bring many
changes in the business personnel of
a town, hut rarely, we believe, is the
"turnover" so complete as at Ash
land, where only one man who was
engaged in business a half century
ago now remains.
Injured in Auto Accident
While Frances Lawton, daughter
of Mr. and .Mrs. II. H. Lawton, and
a gentleman escort were returning
from a dance, driving along the
highway north of Eagle, they met a
car, which they state was traveling
down the center of the road at a
very rapid pace. In rd r to avoid

cars, which they will drive through
from the factory. Most of the cars
have already been disposed of by
Mr. Race.
Alfred Race, of Elm wood, brother
of our townsman, accompanied by
his wife and two sisters, also left
about the same time for a trip to thol
east that will take them to many
points of interest, including Strat
ford. Ontario, Canada, where tlmy
anticipate a very pleasant --'sit at
the homo of the mother of tl." two
boys, as well as with two si.ters.
