How Bill Missed His Chance.

When Wyoming Bill entered a res
taurant at Ellsworth one evening with
a gun i'm his hand and announced that
he hankered for blood, there was q
nervous movement among the dozen or
fifteen men seated at the tables, but all
continued eating and RETAINED from
looking up.
After a survey Of the place Bill walk
ed over to a man who was just about to
begin his meal, and sguaring Off in
front Of him he said:

"No, have no gum"

'Not over twenty minits, then ye

"rm howlin' for gore, but I'll gin We
twenty minits anyhow" replied Bill,
and he sat down TO wait.
He had been drinking heavily, and
at the end Of ten minutes was sound
asleep.
The stranger finished his meal, rose
up and brushed of the crumbs, and
then looking at the sleeper and around
on the half dozen men left he said:
That's jest my luck. I'll hev to go

The Sugar-Plum Tree.

Have you evea heard of the sugar Plum tree :
IT'S a marvel OF great renown;
II grows ON the shores OF the Lollypop sea,
In the garden OF shut-Eye town.
The fruit of the tree is so wondrously sweet,
As those who have tasted II say,
That good little children have only to eat
of the fruit to be happy next day.
When you get to the tree you would have a
hard time
To gather the fruit which I sing;
For the tree is SO high that no person can
climb
To the boughs where the sugar-plums cling.
Bat up in the tree lives a chocolate cat,
And gingerbread dog prowls below:
And this Is the way you contrive To get at
Those sugarplums tempting you 50.
You say but the word TO the gingerbread dog,
And he barks with such terrible zest
That the chocolate cat goes eovorting around
From this leafy limb into that,
And the sugar-plums tumble, OF course, ID the
ground,
Hurrsh for the chocolate cat!
There are marshmallows, gumdrops and pep
permint canes,
With striplings Of scarlet and gold,
And you gather as much of the shower that
rains
Just as much as your apron can hold.
So come. little child. snuggle closer 10 me,
In your dainty white nighteap and gown;
And III rock you away to the Lollypop sea,
In the garden OF ShutEye town.

over it. BE careful to spread the mer.

1t is of no advantage to haul the mi-
