Joe Bailey Gone "home."

Little Rock, Ark, February 12. Joe Bailey, full brother of Bill Bailey, has gone home, and the United States building in Little Rock is without it's pet. Joe Bailey does not like his new home, however, as it is behind windows which are barred. Joe Bailey is an elongated negro with wavy instead o f kinky hair, which he kept well oiled and plastered on his head. He walk cd with a slight limp and COL Id spend as much time about the corridors of the Federal building lodging work and discussing Federal politics, as any negro ever in the employ of the gov ernment. For several years he has been the pet of the govern ment officials and was trusted even in the vaults of the different departments. But Bailey has fallen and about the Federal building it has been the fall of the mighty. For months and months things of small value have mysteriously disappeared about the building, especially from the work boxes of the me- chanics employed on the con
 structiOn of the anneXeS to the building. The pilfering became so annoying that search was started and by accident tool was found which Bailey had giv- en away. A search of his house followed and more things than could have been dragged togeth- CT by pet crow, came to light. Things which were never missed were found there. Bailey was then turned over to the police of Little Rock, instead Of having a prosecution by the government for stealing on government prop erty. While Bailey grieves in his cell, the government officials grieve over the loss of their pet.

 Wilson is a Stickler for discip- line anu the companies of the Arkansas militia will have to stand as good a test for him as they did for Maj. J. K. Thomp- son, the former commander of the post who inspected the Guard two years, It was expected the Guard would be inspected by an officer from the post, Us one had always been assigned from Fort Logan H. Roots in former years, but it was thought this year an officer of less rank would be as signed to the inspection on ac- count of the strenuous schedules which have been prepared by those in charge of the Arkansas militia. The inspecting officer is required in a number of instan- ces to inspect two companies in a day with a couple of changes of trains in between, and a night ride following. The schedule makers laughingly state there need be no Roosevelt 8O-mile horseback ride test for the off cers going over Arkansas in 30 days, on the itinerary accepted, for the officer can stand anything in the way of food or physical exertion.
