Paragoulo Boys Went Out to
See the World and They
Saw 1t.
But They Decided That "Be 1t Ever
so Humble There is No Place
Like Home."

Twelve year old Willie Harvey,
the precocious son of "Mine Host of
the Harvey House, together with
Ed Meriwether and Roy Fligor, two
more adventurous spirits of the same
age, having heard of the enormous
fortunes being rapidly piled up by
,Jno. W. Gates, P. D. Armour, the
Rockefellers and others, met in se-
cret conclave, and decided that as
Illinois was so prolific of millionaires,
it necessarily would be fruitful
field for the development OF their
natural abilities as fortune builders.
Visitors of wealth and future great
ness danced before their enchanted
eyes and without saying good by or
leaving word as to their destination,
the trio of boys would-be fnanciers
boarded the train about three weeks
ago, and started for tie Ell Dorado
of their dreams. A dollar or two
wont take three boys far, even if a
box car is utilized, and a trip with
only a tie ticket and an empty
stomach to remind them of Home
Sweet Home" will dash to earth the
most magnificent "air castles. Bull
dogs. buck saws and sour visageo
women who meet you at the back
door with a stony stare and a
marble heart" when you are FAM
isbing for 'hand out" is enough to
start the ''briny tear" and cause the
most beautiful scenery to resemble
the Sahara Desert to a homesick lad:
SO with their ardor and enthusiasm
cooled and their desire for adventure
satiated they started for the paren.
tai roof, sadder but wiser boys.
The other boys arrived several
days ago but Willie having in mind
the huge proportions of the parental
slipper stopped with his brother-in-
law at Marmaduke. Human patience
could not stand the strain any longer,
however, and plucking up courage he
decided to ''beard the lion in his
den" and returned home last night.
II the commissary department of
the Harvey House can stand the
present onslaught being made upon
it for two or three weeks, Willie
will probably regain his former flesh
aud cheerfulness.

two shots, In a short time Doctor
Cavitt arrived with not squirrel in
his pouch. They came close together
at Mr.. Harvey's front gate. One
doctor looked at the other doctor in
tently, and two doctors intently look
ed at each other. Their eyes sparkled
and danced the highland fling, ard
their faces bespoke great volume S
of remarks on the beauties and re-
creation Of hrnsing-a nice lit g
b hant like theirs had proven to be;
but never word did any one hear
them say for a long time thereafter.
Mr.. Harvey took in the situation,
and offered to catch out his horses
and let them ride home, but they
would not accept this hospitality,
and walked right on home; and as
they entered the town about SUM-
down you would have thought them
only sixteen year old boys, SO
sprightly were they stepping, and
had just started on hunt instead OF
returning. Each has his own way
of accounting for their i'll luck. Doc
tor Cavitt says Doctor Lytton got
sorry when he saw that pretty little
fox squirrel and said it was a shame
to shoot it and slipped off from him
before they reached the best hunting
grounds; and Doctor Lytton says
Doctor Cavitt ran that fox squirrel
about mile aud then shot at it,
missing every time. SO many times
that be scared all the other gan e
clear out of the woods. Further than
this the doctors are as dumb as oys-
ters on the subject Of their hunt.

A BOOTHLESS HUNT.
Marmaduke Aesculapians Waste Much
Powder and Get No Game.

A friend to the gentlemen in ques-
tion contributes this story to the
Soliphene:
DR.. r. G.. Cavitt and DR.. FL. S.
Lytton are mighty hunters. They
shouldered arms one day last week;
and betook themselves to the woods.
The opinion of the citizens of Mar
maduke, as remarked on bebolding
the warlike preparations being made
by the hunters, was that two orse
team would have to be called into
re quisitlon to provide a means to
bring ia the squirrels and otEer
game these imitators of the cele-
brated ancient marksman and hunter
Nimrod, would "slather' in the
neighboring forests. When they
were ABOUT one mile out from town,
they espied an old time fox squirrel
within the scope OF their vision. but
luckily for "foxy," he was not in the
range" OF their guns. OF course,
the dapper little quadruped speedily
carried himself ahead of them, and
impaired the news to all the other
animals of his genus as to who was
out hunting that afternoon. This
settled it; everything that ever had
the sem blance of game went into its
den, and corked up the entrance.
After the gentlemen had walked
bout sixteen miles, and had become
leg-weary, they simply walked off
and away from each other until they
were completely out 0f sight, each
of the other. Now, DR.. Lyuton is q
very sympathetic man, and being
somewhat fatigued besides, he turn
ed his steps toward Marmaduke feel
ing just like be could hardly tell
how; but he was afraid something
dreadful had happened, and they
would not beg any game. He was
stepping pretty lively toward home
when he heard gun report. He
surmised correctly it was DR.. Cavitt.
This relieved him and hurt him too,
be was relieved because he left sure
his comrade in arms was not dead;
and hurt because be, also, felt sure
Doctor Cavitt had killed squirrel.
But he "hiked' himself on home-
ward, and Doctor Cavitt repeated
his shots many times. Doctor Lyt.
Ton almost turned back once or
twice; be felt it was cruel not to do
50, and help his companion tote"
Ill those squirrels. But while Doc.
tor Cavitt was "peeling it." towards
home, be was mildly remarking ut
looks as if to me, that if Doctor Lyt-
ION was not carried off by wild
beast he would stop and wait for me,
Or, at least, FIRE his gun to let me
know if he is still living. Meantime i,
Doctor Lytton arrived at Benton
Harvey's, and stopped to wait, tell
ing Mr.. Harvey that when Doctor
Cavitt came on be would carry the
yame all the balance OF the way. for
he was sure the doctor would be
