Over the hill to Taylor we are writ
ing every day, and over the hill with
the Auditor we believe there's thunder
to pay! For we've taken insurance
statements, and expiring is the term
we're Lord & Thomas, Chicago, the
snide advertising firm! We thought
we had the newspapers of South Da-
kota pat-but the editors now have
tumbled, and they see the game we're
at! We've beaten them down in the
years gone by and we've lined our
purses, too, but now all "the boys" are
on to us-Great Scott! what an awful
stew.

shakes the crimson rag--instead of a
simple contract we find we've a fear
full jag: we've written and wired the
papers, and they've wired and written
us but instead Of becoming clearer the
affair isgrowing much "wpss." So it's
over the wire to Taylor-Over the wire
to them all; we have climbed the lad
der SO nicely that now we dread our
fall; annie Rooney" come over the
fence "McGinty has Gone Down. and
Lord Il Thomas are Gin the soup in
the rustlings Worlds Fair Town.
