Il has come to the "devil'S"
knowledge that the young ladies of
Holly are "s roarin'" because their
names don't appear often enough in
the paper. The "devil'' is very sor-
~ for he thinks the glrls Of Holly
are the prettiest girls in Colorado,
and the whole staff thinks so, but it
is an unwritten law hereafter, if a
young lady kisses the @devil" her
name will appear in the paper three
times; il she kisses the local editor
only twice will her name appear
and if she kisses the proprietor. one
time only will her name sppear.
This is your chance, girls, Mary e.
Lease made money by keeping her
name in the papers.
