An enterprising rooster few
over from the Warden's house q
few days ago and in the evening
went to roost in the dollhouse.
The guards and Capt. johnson
tried unsuccessfully to catch him,
and finally the Warden's runner
was pressed into service. It was
at once apparent that he is a
natural born chicken fancier, for
in less than minute he had the
bird in his clutches. "Oh, don't
hold him that way!' he cried. "(ait
his head up under your arm! Git
his ed under your arm!'' And
then he came back to mundane
things once more.

Nothing definite has been an
nounced regarding the proposed
new insane hospital and the addi-
ton to the dollhouse. It is stated,
however, that all the improvements
will be made this summer. The
architect employed by the Board
of Control has been kept busy on
the improvements for the various
school buildings, which must be
completed before the schools open
in the fall. As soon as possible he
will make the plans for this insti-
tuition and when he does so the
contracts will be let at once.

country that Miss Mckinney, Miss
Thompson and Usher johnson,
who are sojourning in those parts,
have had some interesting expert
ences since leaving Saltwater.
An encounter with bear was
among them. News of it was
brought here by an old cruiser who
drifted in Saturday.
It seems that the bear very near
~ met his death, and the cruiser
said that had Mr.. johnson been
alone he would have had a new
bear skin rug; but owing to the
inexperience of the ladies the
creature escaped. The party at
tempted to bag the bear after the
method employed by the natives
of Luzon and some of the other
Philippineislands- that's to climb
a tree when the bear appears in
sight and to scare him to death
with a prolonged yell when egete
under the tree, thus preserving the
hide intact. This plan was frus.

ladies to climb. The bear, it il
