OLD DAYS IN KEoKuk.

W H. Davidson. managing editor of
the Burlington Hawk-Eye, writes
charmingly in that paper of old days
in Keokuk when Dave Hughes man
aged the Keokuk opera house, as he
does now, and Arthur and Jennie
Dunn, cousins OF the Klein boys. were
local musical celebrities. He makes
reference, too, TO the old Patterson
House. improved and enlarged and
now known as the Hotel Keokuk. and
10 Billy Patterson who was clerk in
charge. These things were called TO
his mind by The Gate City's refer
ence TO Katishar IN "Pinafore" in a
recent issue. The elderly maiden was
charged in this paper with having
mixed them babies up Mr.. David
son says this was mistake; that it
was Little Buttercup' who was re-
sponsible for the complications that
ensued. Be this as it may be, it was
a mistake veil worth making in that
1t prompted Mr.. Davidson to write So
entertainingly in correcting it. His
article, all too brief, is reproduced in
another column and viii be read with
general interest.
