BOB WHITE.
Out Of the thicket or hidden glen
Comes a familiar voice so strong,
Chanting over and over again

Out Of the thicket or hidden glen
Comes a familiar voice so strong,
Chanting over and over again
sturdy, monotonous song.
Standing alone on topmost rail-
Pluming, sudden fight,
In safety rests the watchful quail
Whistling his loud Bob White!"
Bob White! Bob Whitei" so clearly rings;
Bob White! Bob White!" he cries;
Bob White! Bob White!" he ever sings
Under cloudless summer skies
Through autumn glades the hunter trails.
Following his pointers lead,
Close upon the fattening quails,
Nourished by berry and seed.
He thinks of naught but the crouching bird
With sportsmans keen delight
As the field, and past the herd,
He seeks the hidden Bob White.
Bob White, Bob White!" greets early morn;
Bob White" through evenings glow;
Bob White Bob White" comes DER the corn;
Bob White thinks the harvest slow.

TO BE DECIDED TODAY.

Up to the hour Of this writing Governor Bailey has
issued his proclamation converting the legislature
extra session It that only small minority OF the
members have signihed Willingness to without
mileage and per diem Besides Bailey does lose sight
OF the fact that while the constitution empowers him
call the legislature together special session it
not authorize him to prorogue dissolve adjourn it
has assembled That legislature if assembled would
have it in their DO much harm good The
good Lord only knows what it would do To with it
would probably authorize everybody bonds for
building bridges the and then vote TO donate
whatever Of surplus cash might found in the state
treasury and then bond for all the constitution
permits They could in addition TO this authorize the
issuance Of scrip which after being presented for pay
unent, would carry ten per cent interest
The papers of last week announced that Governor
Bailey would make up his mind by Tuesday the 18th.
That is today.

our production Of gold, silver and
copper were nearly equal in value.
We did not stand first among the
nations as u gold. producing country,
being exceeded by South Africa.
Our production Of the precious
metal has grown at an astonishing
rate. From 1892 to lS4l our total
production Of gold amounted only to
s2l, 100000. 1t made a great ad-
