At an early hour Monday morning
we began to think the office was
haunted. Things were running along
quite smoothly when all of sudden
a lot of type pied in the galley with
out any visible cause, the flies began
to light out at the window in haste.
The job press refused to take the
impression and the paste pot began
to give forth an unusual and almost
unbearable odor. Our hair stood on
end, as we fully expected to behold
the Banshee. But upon looking
around we realized the cause when
we beheld powerful ugly mug pro-
jecting inside the door jamb. We
rushed quickly around turned down
his collar, looked at the strawberry
mark on his left shoulder, and grasped
the paw of Al Steunenberg, the first
degree liar of the Caldwell Tribune.
lie was very glad to see us and after
giving the countersign and quarterly
password was allowed the freedom Of
the office. Al was quite struck witt
the town and openly expressed his
admiration.

The profitable character of grain

instances are numerous this year where
