The Nominations Of Dride-E Elect,

Well. this is my last night Of freedom,
Tomorrow I'll tremblingly say
I'll honor and cherish and-love him:
never will vow to obeyl
Tomorrow I'll step from sweet girlhood
Into new station In life.
Will leave all my wildness behind me
That wouldn't be nice in q wife.
I'm almost dead certain he loves me,
, He's told me SO hundreds of times
In passionate speeches, and often
In self-made and passable rhymes
He's pictured a future so lovely
Twill seem as heaven on earth
I wish I knew just to a dollar
How much the dear fellow is worth.
think can say that I love him.
At all events more, I'll be bound,
Than all Of the crowd punched together
That used to come spoon ing around.
I always feel lost when he's absent,
Fall into a petulant mood
If that isn't love. well, I reckon
It's sure something else just as good.
If were seeress for only
A minute, and able to see
What's waiting ahead in the future
Twould be great comfort to me.
Sometimes am tempted to doubt him,
Feel scared and uneasy, but, pshaw!
II the goods aren't up to the sample
I can skip and come back to maw-
NAV!
Heigho! but wish it was over,
And I know Billy wishes the same;
We must face a whole church full of
rubbers
And neither of us Is dead game!
I wish we had hoisted the anchor
And were sailing away to the shore
OF mythical marital Dreamland-
Good gracious! I hope he don't snore!
Farewell to the glad realms of girlhood!
Farewell to all maidenly fun!
Farewell to the innocent flirting,
At which I was A No. /.
'Tis serious venture, they tell me,
But I'll play out the hand have dealt
II lose! I could never bear seeing
His scalp in some other girls belt! y

JIM was possessed Of a good sized
thumb and forefnger and he generally
managed to take enough out Of the
nozzle Of well filled sack to insure him
against loss or damage in case he should
some day break glass. He gave an old
friend drink sometimes and casionally
ne nedhis heart and allowed his gener-
osity to get the better Of him to such
an extent that he parted with some Of
MS liquor to man who was out OF luck
ana had no money. This system soon
gave way to better one. however.
You see every time Jim pinched por-
tion of sack Of gold dust away there
was strong likelihood Of some Of the
dust dropping on the floor. Then it would
be ground up with the dust of the earth
floor and be lost. Well Jim took a novel
plan of getting the change back. He
got shovel and miners pan and when
man showed up who was out Of luck
and hadn't any money and wanted q
drink he made him scrape a shovelful
OF dirt on the floor, pan 1t out and pass
It over for the required stimulant. This
method was kept up until not very much
OF the gold dust was ever lost. Tending
bar thirty years without breaking q glass
was not the most economical part OF
Jim's record, you see.'
How do you suppose he managed ia
conduct saloon all that time and never
break a glass?" asked the Inter Mountain
reporter who was greatly interested in
the tale.
well 1t isn't such a mystery" said
the narrator. "You see in those days it
was next to impossible for a bartender
to break a glass. He didn't have any
to break. They all used tin cups in those
days." ~.

Careless Marksmen,

There are too many careless shooters
in this town. Whether they are Shoot
ing at targets or cats there Is too much
-carelessness of aim. Possibly the guns
are patterned after the ancient blunder-
buss, which sent its bullets in all direc-
tons. Frequent complaints are made by
people who have had the unpleasant ex-
perience of having bullet whiz uncom-
fortably near their heads. These dis
agreeable experiences have taken place
both in town and near town. When
these would-be DR.. Carvers feel impelled
to waste cartridges, If they will simply
look before they shoot they will save
themselves trouble and possibly suits for
