With head held high, erect, elate,
He staggered up to heavens gate,
In manner confident and bold,
And knocked upon the gate of gold.

Peering down on the one outside.

On earth a silver advocate"
"Humph." quoth the keeper of the
key;

Well. we must have word or so,
Do you belong, I'd like to know,
To the 'McGioties'. Choirs,'
Or League of Independent lyres""

''Keep to your right thing, you
That they might pass you in below"
"PrIsoner at the bar" said the judge
"is there anything you wish to say s.y

"No, jedge; there's nothin' 1 care to

and chairs long enough for me to thrash
my lawyer. you can give me year or
two extry."
There are mutterings of war and
revolution at the smelter because the
company has lately brought down to
this section a number of Italians or
Hungarians, to take the places, at low
er wages, it is said, of many men who
have worked at the smelter for ten
years. Many of the discharged men
are clamoring for revenge and there
are mutterings and talks of trouble
with the new arrivals. Round About
knows nothing about the merits of the
case, but has heard this talk OF trouble.
The company claim that the new men
are expert smelter hands and the men
were brought down to increase and not
reduce the force. The Ell Paso smell
ter, noswithstand ng the decline in
out and now that silver has reached
the lowest price ever known in its his
tory the smeiter keeps right ahead in
creasing its capacity and force. The
smelter is now paying out $50, 900 per
month in this section and is of immense
benefit to the commerce of this city,
and it would rot be exactly proper for
citizens of this town to encourage strife
among the smelter hands.
The Pecos base ball club now claims
the championship of the PecOs valley.
A series of games have just been play
Pecos and Eddy and the Pecos club
won every game. The score between
PecOs and Roswell was % to II; be-
tween Pecos AMI Eddy Ii to 4. This
leaves the Pecos team the cOnquerOrs
Of al ball teams in the PecOs valley.
Give-a-dam Jones had on his talking
jaw late last evening and was enter
tanning very large and select audience
on the merits of frse silver. AS Give
adam talked his voice took the incline
AID at last his voice reached such a
high pitch that the new mellOphoue
horn, which was being played in the
McGinty band room, could no longer
be heard. Jones had got to the point
where he was showing that silver was
the only stuff and all the babies in the
eighbOrhood were scared out of their
napkins, when Contractor Little sneak
ed up the alley just back of Give-a-dam
and turned loose a charge from bis
mountain howitzer. The explosion
stopped Give-a-dam's jaw from wag
giog just moment, and then he start
ed off in a new key and pranced all
over the corpse of gold and the gold
bugs and just as soon as the audience
we're worked up to pitch where they
thought of going out and 6ndiog gold
bug to mob, Jones dritted off out of the
front gate and when be reached the
fire department he was all cooled down
and had changed his lines of thought
TO levee along the river and game
of high five.
An exchange bursts forth in song as
follows: ''Tne shirt waist girl, with
the friz-iron curl, and the straw hat
weired and queer, now walks the
streets with smile that's sweet, and
her ut ck-tie under her ear"
81 see your city is all torn up over
the dairy question:" said stranger in |
town to Round About today. Sin my
rounds tn Ough the country l have |
found dairies in the very center of |
[ have never heard of any complaint |
about dairies being a nuisance until L
came to Ell Paso. Where dajries are |
kept clean they certainly cannot en-
danger the health or affect the value |
Of property in their neig hborhOod. My |
idea about such matters is that the |
city would be better Off and the interest
Of The citizsrs would be better protect
ed If they would appoint a milk and
dairy Inspector VINO should test the
milk and report all cases where dairies
are not kept clean. All large cities
have such an officer aud if he did his
duty the pa'rons of dairies could al
" avs rest assured that tbs y were buy
ng pure, unadulteratad milk. This
would be much better plan than the
adoption of limits within the city for
1airies.''
sob, you think the era of prosperity
8 upon us?' cit must be; I've had a
,ew telephone put 10 aud every time I
lsk for any one the main Office tells me
le's busy"
