Who Told the News.
Oh, the sunshine told the bluebird.
And the buebird told the brook,
That the dandelions were peeping
From the woodlands sheltered nook;
So the brook was blthe and happy
And il babbled all the way
As it ran to tell the river
OF the coming of the May
Then the river told the meadow,
And the meadow told the bee
That the tender buds were swelling
On the old horse-chestnut tree
And the bee shook off its torpor
And it spread each gauzy wing
As it flew to tell the flowers
OF the coming Of the Spring g.--Selected.

PENCIL PEDDLER GETS
ORDERED OUT AGAIN
Deaf And Dumb Man Fired
The Second Time By
Chief Parker

Hunter Holman; the sphinx" that
belongs exclusively to Chief Parker
and Mayor Mitchell, was sent to New
ark, the city he professed to come
from. He neither talked nor appeared
to hear anything people said to him
during his second visit to this city
tie was placed in jail when he showed
up here for the second time, but he
could not. be kept there Indefinitely
without hearing.
Chief Parker did not care to charge
the man with peddling without a IL
cense as the fine Tor such a charge is
only 81 and costs which the man could
not pay with what money was found
on his person and after staying in
Jail for several days would be turned
out by the commissioners. The pen
atty for such work would not be ade-
quate, the chief said, to keep the man
away from the city if he chose to re-
turn.
Consequently the peddler was sent
away Monday morning for the second
time on the b. 4 O.. train east with
the warning that should he be found
in Knox county again under the same
conditions he would be sent to the
workhouse by Mayor Mitchell, who
was entirely disguised with his ac-
tions.
