thought that Phoenix was about as
cheap a place as a man could find to die |
in, the supervisors in recent years |
having let contracts for burial CT the |
pauper dead as low as 81. Now comes |
Ell PasO with sill greater inducements. |
1t is said that their county undertaken |
gets cents apiece for decently laying /
away the unfortunate mortals who |
are simultaneously overtaken by pow |
erty and death in that city. One, who
IS poor and warts to die should go to |
Ell PaSo. One who IS poor and wants
20 live and get rich should come to
Phoenix. The Ell Paso undertaken
must do remarkably big business for
his net profits to amount to much.

eldom seen except in motion. and the
notion is only g vanishing streak.
But this swift sat on the seat and
)linked at the audience as if he were
atisfied with his surroundings. When
he wheel was moved he fell off, but
climbed UP the wall against which the
Wheel WIS learing and climbed on
gain.
