LOVE AND SODA Pow DERS
How SUIT LOVengOOd EXplOded-His
Experience with Soda Powders
Sat related the story thus: George, did
you ever see Sicily Burnes? Her dad lives
y. 1t the Retail Snaik Springs nigh to the
' Georgy line"
"Yes, very handsome girl"
Handsome that word don't kiyer the
case. Ii sounds like calm good whisky
water, when We arc at Big Springs, and the
still house ten miles off, and hit a rainin'
and yer 1aak only half full. She shows
among women as a sunfower, as compared
TO dog-fenEel. and smar-weed to jimsin
But thar amt no use tryin' 10 describe her
-could crawl thru a whisky barrel with
both heads stove out, if hit wer hilt study
Tor her, and good foot hold at that. She
wais jus two hundred aud lwenty-six
pounds, aud stands sixteen hands high
She never got in an arm chair in her HE,
and yer can lock the top Nv a churn ur a
biz dog collar round her waist. I've seed
her jump over the top nv a split bottom
cheer, and never show her ankle CT ketch
her dress on TO il. She keried devel enufi
about her to fill a four hOss wagon bsd
with skin as white AZ the inside Nv frog
ool, cheeks and lips as red as a perch's
.ils in dogwood blossom time; an SIGH a

In sctin time; my heart felt hot and onsat'

blue papsrs ov the s1dy inter a big tumbler
and about the same Number Nv white wuns
