The Song Of Sockalexis.

(From the Baltimore News.)
CHAPTER ].
Far to northward where the forests
Bend before the cruel Storm King;
Where the ice Is thick in winter,
Where the landlords and the prices
Fright the tourists In the summer;
Far on northward in his wigwam
Dwelt the gentle Sockalexis,
Dwelt the young buck, Sockalexis.
Peaceful was his heart within him;
Undeveloped were the muscles
OF his thrOat-his tank-em-whoop up.

CHAPTER II.
From the woolly West descending
Came the talky trapper Tebeau,
Came and found young Sockalexis,
Yanked him from the reservations:
Shook the smiles and feathers from him.
Dressed the buck all up in store clothes;
Made him promises of wampum;
Put his picture in the papers:
Put him in the League, and swore he
Was the best thing ever happened.

CHAPTER Ill.


Plays the pitcher. plays the catcher
Play the fielders all about me;
But l lose the way Of playing
When I'm shy on fire-water''
Thus the song of Sockalexis
In the morning and the evening"
But at night time Sockalexis
Sang more strangely, sang in this wise:
''Playsh ze pitcher. playsh ze cashier
Playsh ze tieldish all abou' me,
Bu' l lOOSh ze wu-wu-way of pup-pay n
When I'm su-sushy on f. watersh-
Ugh. me big heap I'jun-hic-ugh!
And the chieftain. Tebeau. noting
That an autumn tint had nestled
On the nose of Sockalexis,
Spoke to him softly, saying:
"Weouw. ?????? III. Weouw,"
Straightway Sockalexis answered.
Saying. All your wampum couldn't
Coax me from the cup that cheers me;
Plays the pitcher. plays the catcher,
Play the fielders all about me.
But I'd rather play a date with
Booze than anything | know off,
Thus departed Sockalexis
To the Land of Awful Headaches
To the daffy land of Dopedom.
And the forests. dark and lonely,
Moved thro' all their depths of darkness
Signing. "Prosit Sockalexis.
Oh! gesundheit. Sockalexis!"

The present indications are that the

case the campaign, which is part Of
the primary system IN this State, will
have to begin at least two months be-

be visited by the candidates. It will
be rather an expensive thing for the
Candidates who make the race, and it
IS possible that none will be held if no
other candidate than Mr.. McLaur;a
remains in the race. The friends OF
