TEE Excursion. - Our town small
boys who strike from the shoulder lin
shallow water) made their Sahbatic tour
to the Carson, day before yesterday.
The "Coalz'' had taken in Empire and
the town was al agog il excited anticipa-
| ton of the battle that WAS to follow the
arrival OF the noon train and tightlsts
Lager Beer joe" in a fit of ecstacy
| ove- his commission to chaperon the
youthful warriors of his adopted
| borough, had girded himself with a
brass band (placed around under the
arm pits on account of his swelling alb
domen) which brist,ed with rusty case
knives that he picked up for the occa-
sion in the back yard, and set oil III
front on either breast with pouch OF
the weed and meerschaum bowl. He
strobe out in his shirt sleeves, the flag OF
Fatherland covering his proverbial bread
basket, and floating therefrom to the
ground all around. His eyes were fire;
and in both hands he welded with
might knotty pioneer chunk Of the
late "Lung up" Ii wrath Alaric was
born again. He stepped forth to mar
shall his gallant gamin hosts; but they
hadn't lost any Carson fghtists. Joe
proceeded to the slaughter pen but his
army didn't. He scared our boys how
ever by his barbaric aspect, and drove
combat clean out Of their thoughts. A
reconciliation was made between the
mutually cowed hostile bands, and they |
all took swim together in the dam.
One of our Carson smart Alecs |
was put on considerable "dog"
and went to make an exhibition
of himself in the figure, termed among
the boys, the "half moon" display,
which nearly cost that mothers dear
boy his life. If he had been drowned on
Sunday in that dam, the preacher would
sadly say that his chances Of heaven are
no. worth solitary one of the SWIM
ming places in which he saw his end.

would have been increased by just one
more.
