Reports coming from the Chicago
hospital are that little Evan Sayre is not
getting along as we'll as hoped. Another
operation was resorted to Monday, the
fourth since he was shot several weeks
ago, from which some relief was OBJ
tanned. The boy is not out of danger
but his parents hope to bring him home
in few days if his condition will war
rant.

new parsonage for st. Joseph's church

The head of a young crow is worth
as much as that of an old one, ten cents.
That is the price County Clerk Lee is
paying for them at present, and they are
coming his way in punches of hundred
and up. Coming in at that rate, one
would naturally suppose that the clerk
office would become overstocked and the
price run down to the lowest mark. Such
is not the case, however, for the clerk
causes the heads to be cremated as soon
as they become his property, and the law
fixes the price; trusts and combinations

crow heads to represent weeks salary
and at the same time rid the county of
these corn pulling, cav cawing pests, Or
it might be a good way for a party of
men and boys to go out and collect a
few hundred young birds and turn the
money over to some society. This would
be killing two birds with one stone.
On Tuesday afternoon at half past

to the kindergarten room, ostensibly to
attend mothers Meeting." His ap-
pearance there was greeted with laugh
ter and cries of "Surprise!' AS his be-
wildered gaze began, gradually, to take
in the details OF the scene, he saw, not
the mothers of the town, but the happy
faces of his fellow teachers and their in
vited guests, Mrs. w. A. Clark and Mas
ter Parker Clark, Mrs. F. I. Doudna,
and Mrs. R. E. Hopkins. Spread before
him, temptingly awaiting his coming,
was luncheon table, daintily decorated.
All, then it was time for Mr.. Clark to
forget that he was a pedagogue, for the
other teachers to forget that they had
all day long been teaching the young
idea how to shoot" Then they laughed
and ate, and ate and laughed, and after
