Hiawatha (Revised Version.)
Twas a day in fair November
And the daring Hiawatha
Sauntered forth across the meade "
Toward the home of that fair maid
Whom he greatly wished to capture
Her Of question is no other
Than the charming Minnehaha,
Alias Miss Laughing Water.
On this quest our big g-souled hero
Hiawatha, the most worthy,
With the red deer on his shoulder
Which he had that morn procured
Bravely tread across the meadow
Till he came unto the forest
Where in dWelt the fatal damsel
Who had cut his heart so deeply.
Fearlessly our Hiawatha
Pushed the trees and brush asunder,
Forced his way unto the river
Where the falls of Many Ha Has
Dance and giggle in the sunshine
And the pole-cat and the weasel
And the bmejay, Woggywowow
Hurried off, quite terror-stricken
At the tread of Hiawatha.
But the gracious Hiawatha
Noticed not the frightened mortels
AS they scampered thru the sage
brush.
Thought he only of his mission
Of his darling Laughing Water;
Some girl she, this Laughing Water !;
Some hit made she with our hero
With our noble Hiawatha.
(But we're getting off the subject
Off the trend of thot we're slipping
So Well get on in hurry)
ALI this time our Minnehaha
And her dad, the AFRO W-maker
Were expecting Hiawatha.
Finally they heard him coming
Heard his steady tread approaching
Quickly then the Minnehaha
Fixt her wire roll and haggle,
Added rouge to her complexion,
Smiled a smile aus sweet as morning
When the sun lis large and basklng
Hiawatha Stopped nor raped not
But walked straight into the wigwam
Where the maiden, sweetly smiling
Sat beside her ancient father.
Grac efully our Hiawa thap
Heaved the roebuck from his shoulder
At the feet of Minnehaha
Very cleverly he laid it
Then he said, in tones quite modest,
Here's a deer for Laughing Water
For the charming Laughing Water
Whom I wish to make my darling
And my wife, my Much Talka;
'Tis a very handsome roebuck
| Which I shot as | came hither,
Hither to thy precious wigwam."
'EYou are welcome, HiaWatha,"
Said the ancient ArroW-maker.
But the maiden looked UP at him
And i'm tones refrigerative,
Said, "EYou faker, you imposture,
You have said you floored thi
creature
With your trusty old repeater;
But you have a Thirty-Thirty
And this hide is pierced with buck
shot"
Selling then a haunch Of venison,
Which was hanging DER the fire,
Minnehaha soaked our hero,
Square upon the pate she soaked hin
Then, with ire much augmented
Kicked him from her fathers wigWa

LIFE OF A PIMPLE
Compilations are Cleared and Pimples
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be Civ
en- that no one is urged to purchase
it without first obtaining an expert
mental package Everyone who has
tried it knows that the fifty-cent box
on sale at w. l.. Gokay's and all drug
stores is sufficient to cure the worst
cases of eczema, where the surface
affected Is not too large. The itching
ceases on first application. 1t will al
so cure acne, letter blotches, scaly
scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every other
form of ITCH including itching feet.
Being flesh colored and containing no
grease, the presence of poslam on ex-
posed surfaces, such as the face and
hands, is not perceptble Water and
soap cannot be used in connection
with it as these irritate and prolong
skin troubles, sometimes even caus-
ing them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Laborator-
les, 80 West Twenty.fifth Street, New
York. 1t alone is sufficient to clear
the complexion overnight and to rid
the face of pimples in twenty-four
hours.

DEEDS BALL PARK
TO Volunteers
THE CALIFORNIA HEIGHTS DIA-
MOND WILL NOW BE GRAD
ED AND IMPROVED.

w. B. Sollender, the local mer-
chant, yesterday decided to the Tono-
pah volunteer fire department,
through Ed Malley and E. E. Walk
er, twenty lots situated on California
heights and which compose the ball
park. This action was decided upon
by Mr.. Sollender after observing the
fire boys who are endeavoring to
grade the grounds and make first
class diamond. While in the past
the grounds could be used by who
ever desired, and consequently no
great care was taken of them. The
diamond has small slope to it and
makes ball playing somewhat risky.
The volunteers were out in force last
Sunday and put in the day grading,
blowing and conveying the dirt away
and within the next three weeks they
will have a diamond that will be the
best in the state.
They will meet this morning at
o'clock and continue with the good
work Plenty of refreshments will
be on hand and good time is assur'
ed all who attend.
