Old Frank Bligh sure got It back on us last night for driving his lighthouse off the courthouse lawn We heard Frank had a corking good show at his theater so us and a lady friend dropped In there last evening about 10 o'clock.

We then found out it was the last night for the picture. 'Sail right, Frank, well get even some way. - N. B. Believe it, or not, the lady friend was our wife. Now that the public has lost Its thrill over airplane and dirigible stowaways we suggest hereafter when the captain of an airship finds one, he should slip up a few thousand feet and chuck him over the side.

'Mr. Durham," says an Item In the Statesman, "Is a man of deter mination and he stood his ground manfully until the insects crawled up inside his troupers. Then he beat a hasty retreat.
