or Is a maniac lot looso upon the un
suspecting public Ho callr-d at sev
eral houses on South Locust street
Saturday afternoon and evening In
quiring for n rooming house at 318
b'outh Locust. He was Informed that
thpro was no such place, and different
people who have compared notes have
discovered that ho Inquired tho same
thing at about a half dozen different
places.
About 10:30 in tho evening he In
quired nt the home of S. R. Derryber
ry Just aftor Mr. Dorryberry and his
son had arrived homo on their blcy
clos. Ho came boldly up and did not
notice that nnyono was sitting on the
porch, but evidently had his eyes fixed
on tho bicycles. When he noticed the
people on tho porch he stopped nnd
asked his usunl question. He also
stopped nt tho home of Harry Samel

ing delayed until tho machinery was

chinery can be unloaded from tho cars

A Matter of Judgment
Deacon Jones' goat was king of Jonesville until the railroad
came. He had butted everything into immediate flight, from the
yellow dog to the tax collector. The day the first express came
tearing in at thirty miles an hour, the goat met the engine "half
way.'' As the deacon stood thoughtfully amid a "shower of goat
remnants" a friend said: "Well, deacon, what do you think of your
goat now? "Oh" said the deacon, "I admire his courage but
damn his judgment."
