ALL GENTLEMEN ATTENDING THIS
s RECEPTION WILL BE EXPECTED
TO WEAR A WHITE SHIRT.

TO WEAR A WHITE sHIRT
The inference was as plain as the
pimples on Mrs. Judge Gi~ldersleeye's
nose. They thought we hadn't a
white shirt. They thought we'd at
tend with an, army blanket thrown
object was to let us know that Mrs.
Judge Gildersleeve didn't look upon
us as knowing what belonged to man
ners. It was all right. We didn't 60.
AS to whether the Gildersleeve ring
came out ahead opinions dider. Our
account of the party, headed :. "Gaht-
ering of yultufes,n is still going the
rounds Of the press. In, that article
we proved Judge Gildersleeye to be
an embezzler And ash0rse-thief, and
we addnced podtive evidence fhat Mrs.
Judge Gildersleeve was q broken
down and played-out fortune teller
who had been compelled to skip from
ST. Louis. The Judge called at the
Kicker Office next day with a shotgun,
but when we brought out more letters
proofs that he had served time in
three prisons and that Mrs. Judge still
had the work house cut on her hair
when she arrived in Arizona-the
Judge did not shoot.
The Jackass Hill set next tried to
make us sing small. They got mad
because we weren't putting them in
every issue. Col. Decker had two
shillings worth of repairs made to his
mule harness, and the Kicker didn't
notice it. Mrs. Prof. rockingham
turned an old silk dress top-to-b bot
tom, and the Kicker didn't come out
with q notice that she had received
another $500 dress from Worth. Mai.
HornblOwer put q porcelain door-knob
on the front door of his adobe, and the
Kicker didn't come out and list il a.
one of the enterprises bound to bring
IN new settlers and boom real estate.
1t was therefore determined to down
US. Lilly DeLisle, the redheaded
daughter Of the one-legged county
clerk, made her debut, and we were
not invited to the blow out. II was
an action intended to break our heart,
IN We promptly countered. 1t was on
our trip that the sheriff went up about
10 o'clock that evening and gathered
in two bigamists from New England,
an embezzler from Ohio, and q fugi-
tive from Chicago, all Of whom were
looked upon as the cream of society,
and were airing their Fl ills and scallops
at the great debut.
We arc here to stay. We put M
our own shanty with our own hands.
We board and lodge ourself, and we
have not only got the cost Of living
down fine, but are getting our
white paper 20 cheap that we a
make money on q list of thirty sub
scribers and three pages of dead ads.
We are going to run the Kicker after
our own style, whether it p~leases the
bigbugs of Jackass Hill or the half
starved coyotes in Poverty Hollow.
While We don't banker after invita-
tons to euchre parties and church
socials we don't propose to take a
snub from any set. While We are will
ing to boom the town, we don't pro-
pose to sit up nights to let the outside
world know that some citizen has
added a bathtnb to his dug-ou or
that some merchant has Just received
a fresh wad of bed-tickinc.
There has been hints thrown out by
the courthouse ring that we are to be
starved out. Try it on, gentlemen!
We are now SIS ahead Of the game.
have paper, enough on hand for ten
weeks, and our living expenses last
week footed up only 81 cents. We
come to stick.-Arizona Kicker. (.
