FORCED TO ROAM.

* There is a young editor wandering on the face of the earth who formerly published a paper at Storm Lake, lowa. He left there a day after the iesue of the last papor, and is supposed to be oroseing the State on foot to get away from an infuriated female population. It seems there was a concert given by tho young ladies of the oity, and the gallant young editor wrote it up in splendid style. The same day he b >A visited a herd of shorthorn cattle owned bj- v farmer in the vicinity, and he wroto up the cattle also. The crosseyed foreman of the offioe got the articles mixed as follows :■ — " The conoerfc given last evening by sixteen of Storm Lake's most beautiful and interesting young ladies was highly appreciated. They were elegantly dressed and sang in a most charming manner, winning the plaudits of the entire audience, wno pronounced them the finest breed of shorthorns in the country. A few of them ore of rich brown colour, bat the majority are spotted brown and white. Several of the heifers were fine-bodied, tight-limbed animalo, and promise to prove good property."
