girl was q pet of the whole crowd and
every one took a hand at showing her
good time. She played hard all after
noon, jumping around in the woods,
climbing trees and wading and then when
supper time came. she developed an ap-
petite that was wonderful. The party
had taken along a large supply OF the
usual picnic eata bles and when the little
girl sat down on the grass TO eat her
supper, the older ones spent all their
spare time giving her the best Of every
thing. She ate pickles, salmon, fried
chicken, sandwiches. ice cream and cake
and when nearly every one else had
finished theiy supper, she was still eat
ing The way she slowed away eatables
was caution. Suddenly she began whim-

a yen that frightened the birds from
their nests. The older girls rushed TO
her rescue, expecting TO find a snake or
some other animal in her vicinity, but
not 90. Everything appeared serene, but
she continued to cry. They asked her

A Grocery Mans Menagerie.

Elvin Mason runs a grocery store on
East Douglas, but he usually has some
species of a beast, bird or insect around
that brands IL as a menagerie and just

One day last week he met representa-

vited him in to see new specie of bed
bug Now the Eagle man had seen ami
mails of that kind of all shapes and sizes.

of caging it was worth seeing. He was

stood a monstrous bed-bug that one
would not care to tackle without a win
chester 1t stood at least four inches
high, had teeth. legs and a tail, and had
2 look in its eye that BODIED no good.
The beast was harmless, however, for 1t
consisted merely of small head of cab
bage with toothpicks for legs. Anyone
would know it was a beg bug for on its
broad back it carried the sign: Friday
Mason's Wellington Bed-bug!" It is sad
to have been captured in one Of the Well
