There was a good Joke sprung on the
night. 1t was perpetrated by Law
renee Crane, who appears at the Lake
side casino this week and Paul Mich
olson, jr., who was there last week.
Some one mistook Nicholson for Kid
Mccoy and the first named did not
correct the man. He decided to let the
bluff go and immediately introduced
Mr.. Crane as his manager, Billy Gray.
Well the sports in the place fell over
one another buying cigars and other
treats for the two men,. They left the
room soon after aud started to walk
to the Union depot. The curious crowd
followed them all the way anxious to
get word from the supposed cele-
brities. They did not tumble to the
joke until Nicholson boarded the train.

in the wind blowing now, and driving

then his hat was blown off into the
mud, and soiled so badly that he was
obliged to go to a nearby store and
purchase a new article Of head gear
and had 1t not been for the wind the
store would not have made the sale.
In a South Main st. saloon, Saturday
night, man with a wooden leg
CHANGED TO meet truculently-incljned
bulldog, or "cow.dog" as a modern
Buchtel college girl calls this particular
brand of canine. The man with the
wooden leg did something derogatory
to the peace of the bulldog and the
animal sprang at him for revenge. He
fastened his fangs into what he was
deceived into believing was an ordinary
leg, and there he clung, as the poet has
so beautifully expressed it, Through
thick and thin, like a lean tick to a
nigger's shin" The by-standers were
horrified, but the mans countenance
betrayed no feelings of pain nor ex.
element. He waved would-be res.
cuers back, explaining that the dog
had hold of a piece of wood, and
quietly ordered drink. He drank,
and the dog still held his grip, because
bulldogs don't often let go. The man
with the wooden leg semed very much
attached to the dog, and when he
started to leave the saloon, dragged the
canine after him. "Oh, no, you don't
do that, either" said the bartender fol-
lowing the man to the door. "I've heard
of you before, and il you weren't a
cripple, I'd hand you over to the po.
lice" The mixologist then unfastened
the dogs mouth, and ordered the
wooden-egged man 10 make himself
extensively scarce. After the man
had gone, the bartender said: "There's
a fellow with good game; he steals
more dogs in year, than any 20 men
in the business. That wooden leg Of
his Is made of cork, and bulldog
can sink his teeth away into it, and get
an excellent hold. The fellow always
keeps the carpenter leg next to the
dog, thereby saving his good leg. He
encourages the dog to take hold, and
then, when nobody's looking, the ca
nine is dragged outside, muzzled and
carried away"

OF the janitor to fill the baptistry with
