kURTz FURNISHED THE BREAD
The Other Man Had tho Bologna and
Also the Nightmare.

We have heard many times over the
story of the man who said he could fur
nish the water if his wife could only
manage to keep them in bread. Yester-
day Mr.. Kurtz struck man who could
furnish the bologna if he would ''dig
up'' the bread. He probably belonged
to the same gang as the tramp who
entered THE CHRONICLE office recently
and asked for the "head cheese" No
doubt they intend to start on a picnic
and are preparing their lunch.
Mr.. Kurtz' friend sauntered into the
express Office yesterday clothed in a
decollette costume en- train, Cor rather
under train) and with an air that
solicited sym pathy. Perceiving that
the gentleman behind the desk had al
well bread appearance he gave him the
high eign and informed him that b
s'ran against some bologna up towr and
knocked it over" and that the bologna
now felt the need of the staff OF life. He
was now looking for a man to furnish the
ga me and Kurtz had been referred Ito
HIM as the express man.
huTtZ looKeo MIN over sy ympaLhetIcdI-
ly, and deciding he was loaf enough,
took his name and address, informing
him that he would express it to him

The kind hearted expressman in
forms us, that the poor fellow had
the nightmare last night and imagin-
Ing he as barrel of cider thought he
was working. He raised such a rumpus
that Nightwatchman Phirman took him
under his protecting wing and this morn
ing Recorder Gates made his nightmare
partial reality by putting him to work
on Union cut.

and pushed the pegs in the ground to
hold him. OF all the squalin' an jab-
berlin you've ever heard, Cawky made
more fuss in one mint than flock of
crows make in a week. The crows
fairly swarmed down on him in little
or no time, an 1 run back for fear
they'd kill him; but he want hurt, an
he had another crow, Along at first,
Cawky didn't like it, but he's got so
now that when he hears crows about.

the cornfield and pull up the young
corn, row by row. to get al the grains
still clinging TO the tender roots. M
one could approach hear enough to
shoot them, for the sentinel in the pine
top would sound the alarm the moment
human being appeared in sight, and
away all the crows would fly. to return
promptly when the way was clear.
One day. however, Miss Elviry heard
a great clamor of crows in the corn
field: such hubbub indeed, that ii at
tracted her attention. She went into
the field and there she saw the crows
fiuttering and flying about like mad. At
first she thought they had attacked an
they all flew away but two. One IF
these was making tremendous efforts
to fly, but the other. lying on his back,
was holding him.
What in the world says / to my
self" remarked Miss Elyiry. Il went
to where they was at. and there saw
Cawky holding the other crow by the
feet. The toes of the two was so tam
gled that twas as much as | could do
to ontangle 'em. That put the idea in
my head that maybe Cawky would
make a good crow-trap. So brother
fixed up couple of straps VII pegs ut
the ends, an we took Cawky out in the
field, laid him on his back in a corn
row, pIt the straps acrost his body
