A great many readers of the Standard were |
acquainted with Jack Morgan, who was known |
by different TITLES, such as "Mue Driver Jack" |

creature.

applause by those who had heard her on the
previous evening" Miss Jones is blonde, tall,
erect, of commanding appearance handsome
in features, and possesses style of delivery |
that gives abundant evidence of magnificent |
training in the art of elocution. While Miss |
Jones was reciting My Last GLASS; tears flowed
from strong faces in all parts of the house."

Miss Jones was quite popular, the people cali
ing at her stopping place to speak words OF
praise. But pshaw! What else could you ex-
pect of Miss Jones? She lives in Jackson!

approached the Teacher. When near enough

was none other than "Chet' Dyer-the stranger
Immediately cried, "Quarter!" The teacher
reasoned this way: "Here, now, is some bold

"I say you have!" persisted the Bandit
"You're a liari" said Chet.-
The Bandit let fly with something about the
size of hundred-pound shot, and Chet. was
foored-but there was a lively scrimmage in
that neighborhood. Chet. thinks that in the
melee divers roots and clubs were kicked up

were both running in opposite directions.
