HAS DAINTY TASTE
Tombstone Mosquito Nectar Sips From
 The Forms of Sleeping Beauty

O. him do sing ,when he is not too busy chewing the rim of of some Tombstone cherub's ear to do his own singing)
 He generally carries an F. flat picolo under his wing, with which be enter tains you when not presenting his bill. He delights to hover over sleeping beauty and browse on the pink cheek O: the peerless Tombstone maiden, leaving dainty beauty spot in the morning. Freck.ed girls are pract C. ally immune from his caresses, but white waxen arms, and pink babies, grass widoss, yes even we'll pre- served old maids, all fall victims to his rapacity.
 Unlike the Bistee mosquito, who has his teeth tipped with harveyized steel and goes after the cOme- back cocktail router, disseminating every form of contagion locked up in his sheet iron hide, the Tombstone mos quito is always looking cut for some thing dainty, q delicacy in human form. Anything from pearly ear half hidden by the satin coveElet to wee, pink toe. peeping out from under the fieecy spread-o, he is an exacting rogne.

 Your Last Opportunity Is Lost

The fair, frsil feminine population of Tombstone, did not "sabe' good thing when the golden opportunity was offered
 For months. the yearning and de- voted sons of the county seat, besought to avail themselves of the fact that leap year was upon us. We called their attention in vain to the captiv- sting, the irresistible and angelic attributes of our masculine element, and reminded the eleigible ladies, over and over, that "procraStinatiun wal the theft tf time that the golden days were slipping by, that opportunity calls but once," and all Of that, but they remained, frigid and impsssivs. No: a letter, net 6 call not bid Not the slightest species oi recognition of tine great sacrifice which they were ready to make for their sseet sake"
 Now, you know "the worm will turn" There is DO more desperate sentiment than that born of god advances spurned and "kiudness un- reGnited.' Now the boys are sore, and tbey are going to haul of and let yon girls alone, until with gray heads, md wrir kled physiognomies, you Eill ne sorry for yourselves.
