This country is so prosperous that when
a poorly dressed man appears near the
Presidents home he is at once suspected
of evil designs.

That poor devil of a Swede who wanted
to see President Roosevelt's home must
by this time thoroughly understand
American liberty.

ANOTHER TURKISH ATROCITY:
What is the chief evil in Texas?"

What queer fellows those Englishmen

The following joke was sent to the
Eagle office yesterday by a subscriber
who evidently hasn't lived here long
enough to get acquainted with Farmer
Doolittle in his single blessedness:
'Doolittle." said Mrs. Farmer Doolittle.
II read in the Eagle lately that you said
widows were gayer than the young girls
Now I want TO know how you found that
out?''
Doolittle said the boys had told him so.

THE FRECKLE-FACED GIRL.
There's virtue in thorns and hedges,
And some good even in a churl;
There's beauty in peak sand lodges
But what Of the freckle-faced girl.
Her face is covered with patches
From pin head TO the size of a dime;
Her cheeks are like finder and matches,
Ready to burn any time.
She knows she is homely as hades,
And doesn't care much IL she is;
She hasn't time to ape young ladies,
For she's constantly on the bizz.
She's careless. free hearted, and healthy
And not given 10 roping or sighs;
In spirits abundanuy wealthy,
And will some day be pretty and wise
