about Ell Paso until the present superb
electric car system was installed, three
years ago the 18th day of this month.
During those twelve years and more Of
local street car servitude Mandy came
to be the best known and most popular
object in Ell Paso. It was no uncommon
sight to see ladies stop Mandy on the
street to feed her handful of dainties.
Children used to play tag under Mandy
and around her legs and fearlessly pull
her tail.
Mandy had the reputation of being able
to walk slower than retributive justice
after a wealthy criminal, and could trot
slower than any other mule could walk

eat but very little. The inmates of the
Poorhouse are husky, healthy people, all

The Losing Side.

The Losing Side.
Helmet and plume and saber. banner and
lance and shield,
Scattered IN sad confusion over the tram
pied field.
And a band OF broken soldiers. with
weary. hopeless air,
With heads in silence dropping and eyes
OF grim despair.
Like foam fakes left on the shifting sand
In the track OF the falling tide.
On the ground where their cause has fall
ed they stand.
The last OF the losing side.
Wisdom OF age is vanquished and gener-
GUS hopes Of youth.
Passion OF faith and honor. FIRE Of love
and truth,
And the plans that seemed the fairest In
the fight have not prevailed,
The keenest blades are broken and the
strongest arms have failed
But souls that know not the breath OF
shame
And tongues that have never lied
And the truest hearts and the fairest
fame
Are here on the losing side.
The conqueror's crown OF glory is sci
with many n GEM
But / join not In their triumph-thers
are plenty TO shout for them.
The cause is the most applauded whose
warriors gain the day.
And the worlds best smiles are given e

But dearer TO me is the darkened plain,
Where the noblest dreams have died.
Where hopes have been shattered ant
heroes slain,

This is the work Of my hands:

To do and to do. not To feel;
To toll till the last curtain falls.
Yet ever the toiler is blest

Feels the work Of his hands with his
soull
This is the work Of my hands;
These monsters that furrow the deep
And battle the power OF the sea
Were given the sin6ws TO leap,
Were bolted and forged by me;
These webs of miraculous steel
Outspun from the shore TO the shore
My nerve and endurance reveal;
rolled them and wove them and bore.
This is the work Of my hands.
To drudge, but in spirit be free
Eat bread by the sweat of my brow
In accord with the ancient decree.
Yet labor with courage cndow:

While justice sows many a flaw,

We are rising. and under the law.

To cherish the law OF the land
The shield that we've wrung from oui
