Tale Of Pelxay

About ten nice little lads from Pc
kay came to the naughty city of o.
kaloosa the other day. They went
about the city seeing the sights
strange and new and it was dis
covered that one of the number was
missing. 1t was greatly feared that
the missing lad had been enticed
into dark by-ways by negro wench
and great concern for his safety was
felt. The police were appealed to
and made the rounds of the locality
in which the missing one was sup
posed to have been taken. There
will be no case in the police court
but it is said that the Pekay boy is
again on duty.
