Nothing OF great Importance has

rather thin this time. o. j. Prideaux.

Corners have concluded not to cele-

We were up to Bloomington last
Saturday to witness their pageant. or
We might say their big day in the
evening" 1t was quite an interesting
display. 1t Il rather late or we
would give a full description Of it, but
we viii simply mention one or "
features in the play. The most con
spicious freak was old 'sGarcon" the
smallest man III the world who at one
time was OF normal size until he was
completely paralysed through the coll
ums of the Teller by a certain lady in
Bloomington and since has dwindled
away 10 mere nothing When he
gets into his plug hat which shines
like a pewter dollar in a mudhole it
scarcely reaches to his ears.
That Parody on Blackstone from
Bloomington gave us another slight
tip in the 'sonly one Teller But rs
he did not give enough for q stimu-
iant we scarcely know how to answer
him W. instructed him to tell no
truth but he stepped over just Il little
on the saloon story which was partly
true. And now for a saloon incident
on him: At one time, while leaning
his ponderous stomach against the bar
in Wenzel's saloon, in speaking OF the
business he followed, he said, MY.
father-in-law furnishes the money.
while ! furnish the brains, : and the
people present thought it very strange
that Uncle Pete was not q man Of ordin-
airy intelligence. But no one called
him pack, for his presence is neither a
pleasure nor profit 70 a saloon-keeper.

horse on any note he ever owed is a.
false as his evidenceinthe whiskev trial
or the statement he made to Judge
Carter, and ii any told him so, his.in in
formant only helped to compound the
lie. Although the Senator has bor-
rowed at his one per cent bank many
times, lie never owed him a cent one
day after due And if he holds A
note against the Senator in favor

And. now Mr. Parody ifsyou say more
about that note please tell all Won
know about it that all the readers of
the Teller may Just understand what
you mean. Now put up or shut up
and be careful what you say. or You
may wish YOU had never spoken. A.
