HE STROLLS
SANS TROUSERS
intoxicated Gentleman Promensdes
Late Saturday Evening-And
He Does II in 3. V. DIS
Carries Trousers.

Keokuk has another stroller in
"B. V. DIS" and he was out prone
nading Saturday night late-veTy
late 1t was nearly morning, accord
ing to persons who saw him slowly
traverse one Of the main thorough
fares of the city in his B. v. DIS and
suit coat. The eccentric gentleman
perhaps he was an intoxicated gem
tleman-carried his trousers on his
arm.
1t was a rainy night and rather
damp and cool. Most men would
have been anxious for some clothes
on top OF the famous B. v. DIS un-
der such atmospheric condition. but
this fellow seemed comfortable sans
trousers. In fact, people speaking of
the affair Sunday were convinced
that the stranger didn't care hang
for trousers-at least he left them
on somebody's parking close to the
sidewalk and has failed to call for
them.
They were found Sunday morning
where the man had evidently left
them the night before. The finder
called in some of her neighbors to
enjoy the discovery, and when they
had all assembled from the nearby
houses a search was conducted which
consisted of going through all of the
pockets, and 10 and behold! there
was some money in them-not few
pennies, but several dollars. The
detectives decided the gentleman was
intoxicated and not eccentric.

than Somebody's Mother

And bent with the chill of a winters

You remember the rest OF It and
how the boy who helped the old lady
did it because it was somebody's
mother" In some such spirit as that
YOU are asked to aid the Benevolent
Union on Block day, in its EFFORT TO
provide a home for somebody's
mother" The opportunity to give
your aid to the Benevolent Union
home comes once a year on Block
day. and those who work In the in
terest of this worthy charity will
give every Keokuk resident an OPP
nortunity to give something. If you
can make a generous gift it will be
most welcome and will be wisely ad-
ministered. If you can make only a
modest gift it will be equally well
come. but do not miss the oppor-
tunity to give something. The home
is open to visitors at all times and
a call upon the old ladies' who form
the household would make you a
most sympathetic giver to the insti-
tuition.

just fooling' and the shooting was
an accident. The bullet entered

is that the couple were scuffling and
he heard the woman make some re-
mark about not pulling that on
me-" and she went over to the bed,
took the gun from under the mat
tress and flourished it. About this
time the white man was getting Out
of the room, he says in his state
ment. BY the time he reached the
