LAZY JIM.

He was lazy. truly lazy,
Full OF sloth and indolence;
His ideas weren't hazy.
But he couldn't see the sense
In a ceaseless round of labor,
30 he shirked upon his neighbor.
Lazy Jim" the neighbors called him,
And he answered to the name.
Often DER she Goals they hauled him,
Cared he mot nor did he blame
Any one for carping. chiding-
What to him was their deriding7
Only at their trouble laughing,
Caring naught for h%ardships he;
OF the golden sunshine quaffing,
Lying prone beneath a tree.
Watching birds and bees together
In the pleasant summer weather.
"'Tain't no use in alters fretting,"
He'd remark in lazy drawl.

Mebbe we won't live till fall;
30 let's lie and take 1t easy

Some Lively
Kicker Items
H~appeninSs That Keep the Editor uus.
tlin(-now y Dispute Between
Grizzly Bill and Terrific
Tom Ended.

- UR esteemed contemporary
came out last week with an
~ announcement that we were
loaing in the Red Front sa-
loon on a certain evening to the detri-
ment of u dignity. His statement
lacks truth. As editor Of the Kicker
we went in for a nip. AS mayor, after
the nip had been disposed of, We took
a loaf around to see If any Of the or
dinances were being violated.
The editor of the Kicker, who is our
self, and the mayor Of this town, who.
is also ourself, are in receipt of invi-
tations to attend the opening Of the
Pacific poker rooms next week. AS
editor of the Kicker we shall accept
| the invitation, but as mayor we shall
decline it. This will probably give us
a chance to go as a private individual
without hurting anybody's feelings.
AS will be noticed in another column,
Colonel Tom Taylor is no more. He
died at his residence on Shawnee ~
u Thursday night, passing away SO
peacefully that his wife didn't know
that the grim destroyer had entered
the house until after the colonel had
been dead for some time. He was a
good man, as men average. True, we
had to shoot him about once in three
months to let him understand that he
didn't Owl and run the Kicker, but
we always paid the doctor bills and
convinced him that we had acted in
his own interests. Peace to his ashes.

incident caused both the fair baroness
and the grand duke to incur the dis
favor of the gar and led the Baron
Pistolkoff to obtain a divorce from his
wife. Some time afterward ut Leg

Paul. He was banished from Russia
