49, BLOWING SOAP BUBBLEs-A new Rogers
group was unveiled at Lowells yesterday.
The hight of it is forty inches. The statuary
represents boy with trumpeted cheeks, and
laughter in every lineament of his face, seated
upon doorstep busily engaged in the fascn-
ating occupation of blowing soap-bubbles,
while mouse which has crept out from under
the step, intenty watches the proceeding. The
presence of the mouse saves the name and en-
titles the statuette to the appellation of group.
The group is full of expression, the face of the
boy being study in itself So far it is Mr..
Rogers masterpiece, though his next effort
will undoubtedly surpass it,for this artist shows
marked progress in every step he takes
The figure differs from previous ones in that
b. process of hardening, the figure has been
expressly prepared for outdoor exposure, and
to bear any weather but snow and ice. Rain
will not ipjure it. In winter it can be brough
in the house. A very important addition has
been made in this design of a metal base, that
is solidly united with the figure and gives it
greatly increased strength.

I saw the scissors and saw the paste,
And the Wichita EAGLE grew,
And once IN a while. in excellent taste,
You added an item new.
No murder or burglar, here or there,
Nor some great revelation to make people stare.
You put up your feet on a chair TO rest,
And pronounced last weeks paper one of the
best,
An exceedingly graphic sheet.
l-agreed with YOU. and thought il complete,
And you printed thousand more,
I sent many TO friends, their minds to store.
Whene'er YOU come across the Big river.
On your way to the great Minnesota,
In wagon Just under "kiyer.''
A. YOU leave the Queen city. Wichita,
If you're hungry and wish for dinner,
Supper. breakfast. or lodgings to boot,

Here's just the place that will suit
We have farmers fare, but plenty to eat,
From a chicken up 10 buffalo meat:
And here's game of all kinds, down TO a snipe,
And then, too, our melons will soon be ripe.
Come, get acquainted with my bet:er-half;
Come out on the prairie and enjoy good laugh.
