ing the past fortnight , for In that tlmo oc
curred the death and , burial of William
Parlln , president of the Parlln & Orendorff
company nnd founder of Canton's most Im
portant Induiiry , Ho was aUo senior partner
In the firm of Parlln. Orondorff ft Martin of
this city. Mr. Purlin's death occurred on
Juno 35 , tbo result of heart dUoaio. The
funeral occurred Juno 29. nnd was In all re-
spocls the largest mourning asuomblago over
gathered in that city. Or. Whiting In iponk-
ing of the dead said that while ho came In
contact with all classes of people In Canton
ho bad never heard man , woman or child
speak 111 of William Parlln. "H cnn bo
said. " remarked tbo man of God. "that ll
the community loved and honored him living
nnd now mourned him dead. William
Purlin's charities were largely unknown
to tbo public , unknown , perhaps , to his own
family sometimes but from the pastor they
were not so easily concealed. The dead re
alized my Ideal man In many respects , nnd
his death was nn Ideal ono , coming painless
nnd quickly. Well for the young man of
Canton today If moro ot them would strlvoto
follow In the footsteps of William Purlin
content to begin ns ho bcgnu , to labor a * ho
labored , In tbo hope of success such as ho at
tained. " And theio sentiments found lodge
ment In hundreds of hearts vhtch mourned
for tbo departed citizen.

' Ono of the funniest .stories about

scone was the poker parlors ubovo
the cigar store that Joe Spanlor used to run ,
and Iho principal was n prosperous down
town merchant a son of Israel. Will cell
him Herrmann , because Hint's not his name.
Well , ho sat in nt n good many stiff games
until his wlfo hoard of his habits. She ox-
Iraclod from him a solemn promise- never lo
finger another card or chip. A few nights
later ho dropped in , as ho explained , 'Just to
see how the game's runnlne,1 There was a
blooded cotcrlo around thu table , nil friends
of Herrmann. Of cotirsoho was drawn Into
th'j ' gamo. Along nbout mldniL'ht ho dropped
his hand nnd exclaimed : 'Great God ! I
promised my wlfo not to piny again , and bore
it U nftor 12 o'clock I' lie meditated n min
ute , and then , with a triumphant smile ,
added : "Well. I think I know how to lit It. ,
I'll go got nn oyster loaf my wife loves oys
ter loaves and take it home , and when she
begins to growl I'll toll her how I was at a
special session of iho lodge. " Out ho wont
nftor the oysters , ' ' 'ho Irresistible poker
habit was too much for him. On bis way
homo be dropped In agnlu. Laying down his
oyster loaf ho bought n stack and was .soon
up to his cars in the gnmo. While ho was
"SHUOO/IIIK" his hand a practical Joker untied
the loaf , daftly opened It , xcoppail out thu
bivalves and dropped Into the cavity n dock
of cards , then replacing the top und tying
the parcel up ns neatly as before. By nnd by
the gnmo broke up and Herrmann ca.shod In ,
L'rubbod his oyster loaf and hurried homo.
As noon as bis wffe heard him coming In
ihero was trouble. Ho stopped her nt once ,
saying "My near , I had to co down lo the
lodge. Thu bUHinoss was Important and
koptus very Into. I thoughthow hungry you'd
be and I said to myself 'us soon us I can gut
away I'll buy n nloo oyster loaf
nnd tnko It homo to that dear
wife. ' " That appeased her wrath. Hurr-
inann do posited his buiullo on the foot nf the
bed nnd wont to thu Kitchen In his .shirt
sleeves after n knife lo open iho loal. Woman
like Mrs. Herrmann hud lo lake a poop at
the oysters. Shu broke the twine , nnd open
ing the loaf , reached In. for just one oyster.
She struck the cards nnd hauled them out.
Just ut this Juncture Herrmann reappeared
with un anxious smile , and thn knlfo. What
followed nobody can say , but u llttlo later
the few nil nig liters who llngared In the iioltor

tion. Well , one soft summer ovenlnif wo
stepped at n water tank , not far from Hn-
warden , on the bunks of the Floyd river.
Hero Is where I had the great streak of luck
1 speak about ,
"That day ( bad gotten hold of n package
supposed to contain some $11,000 , consigned
to u bank in Dakota. When the train pulled
up to the water lank I was silting near the
side deer of the car , which wus ouou , en
gaged in tnaulng out my report for the trip.
1 had taken iho blc money package out of the
strong box , in order to pot at some smaller
OIHH , lo satisfy myself they were all thoro.
Scarcely reallzlne what I was doing
1 laid the JII.OOU on top of n box that stood
besldo tne door , und stooped over my work ,
wheu tbo train stopped with u luruh nt the
tank. The Jerk throw mo back u llttlo uiul I
raised niy head to loolc Into the muzzles of
the biggest pair of six-shooters you over saw.
"Don't move , or I'll blew your
head off , " commanded n imiiT voice.
"Thon u man sprang into the car , grabbed
the packages out of tuo box , Jumped out , und
Iho irnln went on. I sut ihero dazitnl. 1 hail
boon robbed , and hadn't iniulo u move to prevent -
vent it. 1 know what that meant. Discharge
and disgrace. After a whllo I concluded 1
might as well complete my record for iho
run % So 1 wont to work on Iho bills again.
"Soon II was necessary for mo lo move iho
box near the door In order to read Its ad
dress. I did so. and , Plank mo , If there
wasn't thnt big pile of inonoy lying behind
the box on the floor. The lurch when the
train stopped threw It there.
"Well , 1 gave the general superintendent
n nice story of how I had thrown the money
thereafter the robbers had jumped on mo ,
and so secured forgiveness for the few del
lars that were taken. But say , If iho robbers
had only known- the company , "
