Bisbee daily review., 1909-07-08

I >M Twas a wind-swept night in the long ago In the reign of King A-ris-toc-ri-so. In the banquet hall where the courtiers sit Is feast of soul. is flow of wit; But the glass goes round 'tl the jests
 grow coarse And the ribald songs make their croak-
 CTS hoarse. One by one they drop in their drunken
 brawl -rii a silence falls OCT the gilded hall, Of the courtly host that have gathered there To rejoice and drink and to drown dull
 care. There remains but one win his senses
 clear: 'Ho, ye men.' he cries. "give the kins
 good cheer" And he lifts his glass to the drunken
 throng. ''Ho' A toast! A toast! May the king live
 long.' But the lords sleep on and his Iordship ''Lst us drink alens 'tl the vanquished
 dies"' 'Keep the glasses alied! 'rIs the kings
 command Fili them up. I say.'-to his servant band. To my host" he Isers. with moekins 'To the king and kingdom" the courier said. T will drink you drunk or I'll lose my Bragg the tipsf king a. h. drinks i, down. Here's thic) a health-and (hic) let
 'er go,'' Lisps the drunken king. A-ris-toc-ri-se. Now the rulers voice it is harsh and
 thick And his lids are red as a flaming wick see' Ills senses reel meath the devils
 broth Ana his head droops low on the linen Crash. The crown of King A-ris-toc-
 ri-so IL has fallen of, Cries the courier. .'Ho, Now behold your king. O ye Tlrunkards
 all, have won the crown! am AL
 COHOL" And from then 'tn now doth he rule the
 throne. Doth he drown mems sense and retain
 his own. Though they come from near or they
 come from far. He is sober still with the fading star, But the kings go down and the courtiers
 sleep Tn the drunken dregs of Inferno deep For the man ne'er lives who at Bacchus'
 brawl Can defeat the curse of King AIcohor

 Not Sacrilesious. The Churubusco QndD Truth has evidently scored a beat on some of the big 'yellows" who have been mak- ing investigations of Jonah and the whale and other Biblical facts in the last few years, if the head line of an article published in that newspaper is to be believed. Without intending to be sacrilegious, this statement con cerning Our Lords nativity has never before been brought to the attention of the writer. The aforesaid article is headed:
