The Reo'Iar Army Man

He ain't no "mamma's darlin',"

And posles In his gun;
He amt no pretty soldier boy"
SO lovely, spick and span.
He wears n crust Of tan and dust
The res lar army man;
The marchin', parchn',

Reg'la army man.
He amt at home In Sunday school,
Nor yet at social tea,
AND on the day he gets his pay
He's apt ter spend X free;
lie amt no temperance advocate,
He likes to fill the can,
He's kinder rough an maybe tough.

No staten call him noble son."
He amt no ladies' pet,
But. let n row start anyhow.
They'll send for him. you bet!

In fashions social plan,
He gifts the job to face "a mob,
The reg'lar army man:
The millin drillin',
Made for KILN.
Reglar army man.
They ain't no tears shed over him
When he goes off ter war.
He gifts no speech nor prayerful "preach"
From mayor or governor:
He packs his little knapsack up
And trots off I'm the van.
Ter start the fight and start 1t right,
The reg'lar army man:
The rattlin'. battlin'

He makes no fuss about the job.
He don't talk big and brave.
He knows he's I'm ter fight and win,
Or help I'LL up grave:

He does the best he can,
And he's the chap that wins the scrap,

In assigning the different chances to

The pretty booths and pavilions on the

famous on the fair grounds. At other
expositions visitors have taken great
delight in California's display, but
never before have so many earnest
questions been asked nor have so many
people declared their Intention Of jour

TO settle there. The only thing that
puzzles them is what part of California

Representatives of California, Oregon,

met in the California Promotion Com
mittee's rooms yesterday afternoon and
discussed the advisability Of trying to
secure conventions for the Pacific
Coast during this and next year. The
conclusion was reached that efforts
should be made to bring people from
the East, and as a result Of that under
standing 1OS conventions are to be gone
after. OF that number California is to
try for -fifty-three, Oregon thirty-three
on account of the Lewis and Clark Fair,
Washington fifteen. Colorado two and
Idaho two. Texas has already secured
one convention.
The object of the meeting yesterday
was to bring about united action on the
part of the Pacific Coast commercial
bodies in order that better results
might be obtained and all matters of
jealousy smothered. Tom Richardson.

one ruler to another, and in it is woven
a message of greeting. 1t was thus in
the days before wireless telegraphy

came into general use that the EN-

The housewife who wanted two loaves
of bread at the bakers simply stitched

bargain counter and sent 1t down by
the hired man.
The Benguiat family has in the

the end of the present week, and
that no further shipments would
would be made until after the
opening of the roads next spring
During the present season, IN
addition to doing a large amount
of development work in the mine
where the ore bodies have now
been opened and proved up to a

miles of wagon road have been
graded and opened to transpor-

hoped that the Custer county
commissioners would have assist

the camp, but they failed to help
out, and the entire cost falling
on the shoulders of the Lost
