The following poem was recited at
the Eagles entertainment in this city
last Tuesday evening, by Master Mil
dred Nielsen and was one of the prin-
cipal hits of the program:
My pa, he joined the Eagles lodge
Some several months ago,
And I'll just tell you what it is,
Those birds are not so slow.
You'd ought to seen pa spruce to go
To the iniciate,
In bran new suit and collar tall.
You'd ought to seen his pate.
I'll tell you what, there wasn't a hair
Out of it's proper place.
You ought to seen the steps he took,
The grins that wreathed his face.
And so he started OFF to join the
Eagles
So he said.
And ma and me we stood and stared,
And then we went to bed.
But Lordy! l don't know how late
1t were when pa he came.
His voice II sounded orful queer,
His looks were not the same.
1 heard ma ask him how he felt
And how he stood the trial,
But pa, he only sorter groaned
And smiled a sckly smile.
Poor pa! one eye WAS about like this,
His head in spots was bare,
His collar buttoned over here,
His necktie over there.
And one suspender, it hung down,
one breeches leg did too,
And, Lordy, why the back of them,
You could well nigh see through.
| Then ma she said, why poor old
Toni
You sure do look absurd"
| Then pa he sorter smiled and said
He felt just like a bird.
And then we heard him mutter like.
Ma asked him what he meant,
But he just rubbed and squirmed and
groaned
ooh, get the linment!"
And when he went to sleep that night
You orter heard him moan,
You orter heard the swear words,
And you orter heard the groans.
heard him squeal and snort and say,
Here, Hinkle, not so quick"
heard him call Tom Aston names,
Said Lawrence made him sick.
He threatened then to kill them, all,
Platzoeder with the rest,
And then he swore a great big swear
About the Eagles nest
My ma and me was orful shocked
At what we seen and heard,
For pa he acted orful bad,
When he became a bird.
Next day he didn't go to work
He looked so sorter pale,
y Except one eye and round his lip;
He walked just like snail.
offered him the rocking chair,
But pa, he thought and planned,
, And rubbed and said a bird like him
Just simply had to stand.
Ma asked him IL he rid the goat,
But pa, he looked absurd,
And said, "Why, poo, ten goats, yor
bet,
Is nothing to one bird"
But now he's orful proud, is pa,
The kind OF pa to love,
And says the name of Eagle
Is another name for dove.
And though pas most truthful
And I seldom doubt his word,
, I'm sure that dove and Eagle
Is different kind of bird.

ATRIGHI.SIRIkE..'
SALE OF BONDS ORDERED
STOPPED. 5

There has been unusual activity for
the last few days among the officials
of the Pittsburg and San Juan Mining
Company, Of Pittsburg, Pa, as a re.
suit Of rich strike in the Orella tun.
mel. While the officials are not in.
clined to talk freely regarding their
good luck, the fact has leaked out that.
a large'vein Of extremely rich ore has
been struck. 1t Is rumored that it
runs over one hundred dollars a ton.
The prompt action OF the directors in
stopping the sale OF bonds, which the
company has been floating for the
purpose OF raising sufficient funds for
the erection OF a stamp mill, indicates
that the reported strike is reality.
Last evening, during brief inter.
view, one of the directors remarked
that they did not consider it advisable
to continue the sale OF bonds, as It
was not necessary to burden the COM
pany with big Indebtedness and that
the balance Of the money required to
complete the stamp mill would be Sc.
cured by the sale Of limited amount
OF stock. 1t is understood that the
company expects to pay dividends in
less than six months, and that they
have already over twenty-five thou
sand tons Of ore averaging over ter
dollars ton, ready for the mill. The
company owns over two hundred
acres Of the richest mineral land il
Colorado, and as the principal owner!
are well known Pittsburgers, the sue
cess Of the enterprise is assured. A
present the headquarters of the com
pany are located at 4OS Penn avenue
Pittsburg, Pa, where information cal
be obtained regarding the price o
stock. AS only a limited amount o
stock will be offered for sale, onl
those who apply early can be accom-
modated.
