To Thursdays Fair they all did 60,
To the LEDGER's baby show.
Each mother and babe with pretty face
Joined in the LEDeER's baby @
They were all dressed well and all hxed
up,
For the LEDaER's prizs-a silver cup;
With clean little faces and curly hair,
Nine little babes went to the Fair.
Each 80 pretty, twas hard to decide
Which should be the LEDaER's pride;
When, at last, Master Clayton Brown
Was voted the prettiest babe in town.
With rosebud lips and eyes of blue
A face that always smiled at you
A fine head, with curly hair,
The prettiest baby at the Fair.
The other babes were all so sweet,
A prettier lot would be hard to meet.
There were not cups for the other
eight,
Was the only thing "White did hate"
Nine little babes-what a pretty sight!
As the cup was presented by Mrs.
White.
Everyone was glad that they were
there
To the baby show at Mexico's Fair.

To My Friends:
MEXICO, Mo-, August s.-Having re-
turned from my long journey to Brit
ish Columbia, N. W. Territory and
Alaska, I desire to express the pleas
ure 1 have in greeting once more my
many good friends, and the sad regret
that many of them have entered the

friends that weep have my sympathy
and prayer.
I have, l think, many wonderful
things to relate of that wonderful
country, peculiar to itself in every
particular.
At the solicitation of my friends
will deliver one or more lectures to
the public, with stereopticon viescs, Of

The rue history of that country has

been related in fact. I propose to

The time and place of lecture will
be given in due time.
