THAT was ludicrous pair who sal
so contentedly behind Reeds horse,
bound for Tomahawk, last Saturday.
Roberts says Bird flew faster than
the horse trotted We hardly think
they lost the way, but they were q
long time reaching the scenes of the
gathering. West End enjoyed the
starting.

firmness, I'm going to keep those
feet of yours warm this winter If it

Mr.. JAMES LEONARD who has been
missed from home for over three
weeks, and who was supposed to have
been murdered, has turned up in
Richmond, where he had followed
the Shelby circus. As soon as he
can raise sufficient money he will re-
turn. We hope he may profit by his
mad freak.
Now the young man swings on the
gate, at night, no longer, with his
best girl. In the cosy parlor, he re-
clines in the rocking chair, listening
with grim satisfaction to the sobbing
winds and the baying of the faithful
watch dog without. But the chest
girls" father dreadeth the tread of
the coal man, and dejectedly inspect
eth the grocer's coal-oil bill.
