BULdER's COMMENT ON BURNS.

Rich are the fields of Illinois,
And fair are the fields of Kansas.
Could Burns tell of fairer land
Than I've written In these stanzas?
He tells us of the woods and flowers
In the song about his "dearie"-
I wonder how he'd wrote that song
Had he lived on Kansas prairie.
He tells us of the crystal streams
And the groves around Montgom-
cry,
And of the beautiful castle high,
And where water ne'cr was
"drumbly."
These are the scenes of that great
song,
Where the poet loved TO "tarry,'
And where he coined the precious
gems
For his lovely Highland Mary"
No ono but this Aycrshirc bard,
Were his like lands of the fairy,
Could e'er entwine such Iaurels
grand.
As his wreath for Highland Mary.
/ need not tell in This comment,
For il is well known in story,
That he who ploughed in Scotlie's
fields
Was ploughing for inrie aid slo-
ry.
This is one of his many gems,
| refer TO in these stanZas,
And wish l could such garlnnds
Irvine
To crown the poet of Kansas.
When God shall close the end of
time.
And with fire consume the prairie,
Till then will live the famous Tyre,
From the pioughboy to his "dear-
ie."
Philip Bulger.

LOOKED SUSPICIOUS.

Two of Bakers citizens we're in
Galena day before yesterday, and
went over to Carthage on business
trip, returning here in the evening.
Just before changing cars at Jop-
lin word was brought TO the officers
at that place that man had been
held up and robbed in the outskirts
of the city and the officers were on
the lookout for suspicious charac-
tiers, and of course spotted the two
strangers who got on Galena car.
After sizing the two gentlemen up
the officers seemed rather inclined
to believe they would bear watch
ing, and told the conductor and
motorman to keep an eye OIL them
and notify the Galena officers.
On the arrival of the car in Gale
ma the two gentlemen HiiGhted and
wendell their way to the Banks ho-
tel, little thinking they were being
trailed by Policeman keelin of East
Galena, who followed them to the
hotel and watched them until they
went upstairs TO bed. This officer
was also of the opinion they were
hard cases, and thinking lie had
them safe, and feeling good over a
probable reward for their capture,
he went after Night Watchman Ell
lott to help him make the arrest.
After finding the night watch,
they both retraced their steps TO the
hotel, and the names were shown to
Elliott as they appeared on the reg
lister, "Chas. Noble" and "Alex. War
ner, Jr." 1t was then that Geo. Eli
