wished to telephone out of the city
the other day, and went to the phone
and obtained toll. 'rhe toll operator
asked who it was after he had asked
for the town in question. Blue
Jacket was his reply.
"Come on, hand it to me straight"
said tie fair enc at the other end of
the line. Give me your commercial
name the one to which some money
is attached, to pay this BILL

pared for any like emergency.

will be remembered by fans who have
seen him work, is also in good con
dition and thinks he viii need very
little training to perfect himself fol
the season

Immediately came to Alexandria and
made report, which resulted in a

down the river shore.
! No reports had been received since
they disappeared, SO they had evident
ally spent the time in the woods.
