"a Mysterious sDOcument.'-Under the
foregoing caption the Morgantown CIV. Va,
NeW Dominion says:
We are in receipt of an outlandish looking
document from DR.. c. G. Jacobs, of Frost
burg. The margin is covered with KS
these we recognize but the remainder of til,
document is too much for us. Our literary
editor thinks it is Sanscrit; the snake editor
calls it Choctaw; the horse editor insists that
it's the language Of the Mugwumps; StinC
thinks it's Scharmen; Herman WiZanski is
willing to gamble on it's being Russian; Prof
Berkely is trying to locate it somewhere
among the classics; the President of tn,
University has been telephoned for.

'book on the calliope," said to be the pro
duction of the author--not Of the book, bu
of the calliope. Now if you can straighter

"outlandish document, that is, if the cal.
liope may be called document.
