st. Louis Chronicle: "a sweet sing
er gonei Bob, the hooking bird, had
reached the remarkable age of IA years
home of his mistress. Mrs. A. NJ. AL
len, 27O6 Locust. He was caught, a
fedgling, in Arcadia, in 1880, by Mrs.
A. from a bush on the famous Fort
Hill. Bob would sing but three months
in the year. In the last days of the
recent heated term the bird nearly
gave up, but the cold snap Immediate
ly succeeding gave it cold that killed
it. The little songster was given a
burial and slab of stone laid over the
grave.
Here is the way the Scott County
Newsboy views it: Another Isheda
has bobbed up in Iron county. Here
is what a Graniteville correspondent
to the Ironton REGISTER says of him:
"A Japanese lecturer by the name of
Frank Ta-ka-su-gi gave a lecture at
the NJ. E. church here on last Monday
evening to a crowded house. What a
pity 1t is that it is necessary for the
Japanese to come over here and lee
ture US. What pity it is that our
sons are Americans and Christians.
If they were foreigners and heathens
they could be educated at public ex-
pense. What fools these mortals be. !"
We find the following going the
rounds of the press in sections less fav-
ored than ours. To the farmer of
Southeast Missouri it is of course
wholly inapplicable:
Now's the time the honest farmer hsuis
His murphies off to town;
Here is the top row in the barrel:

He also hauls his wood to town,
The printers bill to pay,
And this is the top row on the load:
And this the "u,nderlay:"

The same night that Bonanza was
broken into, attempts were made to
burglarize w. P. McCarver's store.
The glass in the door was cut in the
same manner as at Bonanza, only the
pane was not broken out. The pro-
prietor heard the noise, and upon his
getting out of bed the burglars took
the alarm and fed. 1t may be that
these depredstions are not the results
of home talent, after all. Several per-
sons heard a wagon passing main
street at two o'clock that morning
about the hour the burglaries we're
committed-and it is suggested that
the great amount of goods taken could
not have well been carried off without
the aid OF vehicle.
