y 4 DREAM.



They were sitting on the doorstep
Just as lovers might;
He n roguish little school boy,
She a little maiden bright.
He was certain that he loved her,
Though bis love he dared not tell;
She was certain that she-iiked him
That she-liked him-awfnl we'll.
His right arm her waist encircled,
just as any lovers might;
She was nesting close beside him
With q look Of shy delight.
For the charming little maiden,
Though as happy as conld be,
Wondered Just what mamtha q think il
She were only there to see.
"Don't you think this dreadful naughty p
Said the little maiden bright.
lawful Wicked said the school boy 4;
And he Rugged her awful tight.
Tins they sat upon the doorstep,
just as any lovers might,
Till the hour of midnight warned them
~''Spooning" could not last all night.
Then the wicked little schOOl.bOy,
Thinking 10 complete their bliss
'Since we've been 50 naughty, shall we
End our badness with "a kiss 7"
Tremblinsly he asked the question,
CHANGING at her lips so led
Family came the answer: 'Shall we ?"
This was all the maiden said.

The Inventor of "Patent Out.
Sides"

Philadelphia Printers Circular.
Mr.. A. n. Kellogg, who was the
inventor of what is known as
the "paient outside" plan, died
recently in ThOmasviile, Fla. The
method dates back only as far as
the beginning of the war. 1t is
said that Kellogg at that time was
publishing a weekly paper called
tue Republican, at BarabOO, Wis,
and that his foreman and printer
left him Suddenly IN response to
the cOuntTy's call to arms. Being
able to get out only two pages of
the paper, he sent in haste to the
Daily Journal, of Madison, for a
number of copies of Il war supple.
ment which IL was publishing.
This suggested to him the idea OF
having the Journal print for him a
double sheet with two pages left
BLINK, Oh which he could print his
home news. This was practically
the first "patent outside, aud Kel
logg does not seem to have been
slow, in those times OF high prices
for PAPER and printing material, TO
see that there was money for him
in the idea. AT the close of the
war he established a house IN Chi
cago for the purpose of supplying
country newspapers with edili0ns
alfeady halfprnted-a business
which afterwards became so tx
tensive that it included sixteen
hundred rural papers in it's service,
and vas followed 10y the establish
ment Of half a dozen other concerns
OF the same kind. Whether KEEL
logs system has benefited the
country press as a whole, however,
may WeA be doubted. II il CERTAIN
ly calculated 10 destroy original
enterprise.

SMITH ABsCONDs.

Last week we made reference to an
alleged forgery case and while we had
hoped to be able to report an explana-
ton, clearing Frank Smith from any
crOOkedness and it is with regret that
we give an account of the affair but the
facts are known to all in our community
and will sooner or later find way into
print. Several weeks ago, at the time
Stevens & Smith dissolved partnership
Frank Smith gave a forged note in set
Element of accounts. But the Offense
being against his father he withdrew
the charge and the case was dismissed.
Nothing further was discovered until
last Wednesday when j. F. Morse
found he was the holder of about $500
worth Of bad paper. As stated last
week Smith was arrested at GreenleaG
and brought back to this place on a
warrant by Mr.. McIlVain- By agree
ment the preliminary was put off several
days during which time an arrest was
made by both banks, one covering the
former detainment. On Saturday night
a continuance was granted until We'd
nesday and defendant allowed TO secure
bail in the sum of 1000 in addition to
$500 surety on another offense. On
Wednesday the defendant failed to put
in appearance and bail was declared
forfeited. Mr.. Smith had quite large
stock of goods which are now covered
with an attachments from eastern
dealers and home parties to the extent
Of SIS, 900 or $4,000 II is thought that
he had quite a sum of money with him
when he left. The idea is advanced, and
it is quite plausible, that the notes were
drawn with the intention of paying
them before due, but if this be true such
recklessness will do but little to paIIate
the crime. Many and varied are the
speculatious as to the whereabouts Of
Smith, but he has certainly acted very
unwisely and If any great effort is made
TO capture him, and we understand
there is, he viii pay dearly for his fool
hardness.
