As SoUvESrR--Prom and sfssr eeptenber
i each subscriber 20 the Kicker will receive a. .
souvenir a beautiful Autograph, Q BY II in sise.
Of our private graveyard by moonlight There
are ten graves in all. ave on each Gde Of the
main walk. The whole lot il . beautiful gr~ss
plot, with trees shrubs and flowers in profession
and white picket fence surrounding the lot.
The total cost up to date has been about o. 900,
but tourists who have travelled in every country
declare that they have seen nothing 70 begin
with it We believe there IL an editor some
where in Idaho who has o private graveyard
with three graves in II, but we have been told
that he Killed his victims with q pickax while
they were drunk.
The Autograph represents full moon shining
down upon our p. g. and bringing out every
detail as clearly rs IL seen under the MONDAY
sun. A sort Of halo ID thrown upon each grave,
and the trailing arbutus and blossoming violets
produce q softness Of detail which goes right to
the heart OF the beholdsr.
