OPPORTUNITY IS
ALLOWED TO PASS


Another golden, glorious oppor-
tunity, one especially adapted and
created tor persons in Tucumcari
who have particular and sole re.
gard tor some other person OF the
feminine gender, knocked at the
doors OF this city this week and
then fled away forever.
Ii was, alas, not a lass, very un.
fortunate that the many who would
have seized said opportunity by
the iorelock knew not that it knock.
ed because such a chance comes
once only in a lite time.
IL was a bunch OF American
Beauty Roses, a large bunch,
worth Twenty-Five dollars with long
stems and crimson hue, and
violets numberless as the specks
that people the CAV sunb-ams,
with blue petals still fresh from a
Kansas CITY hot house, which had
sent them over du, to a local ex.
press office which sold them
because charges were due and the
consignee refused them because
they were ordered tor Easter and
came the day after.
Upon the refusal OF the con.
signee to take the flowers, the eN.
press company, though more &C.
customed to handling cabbages,
realized that they had something
p%erlshable on their hands and got
busy TO dispose OF them in order
TO pay Tor the charges OF carrying
them.
Unfortunately they we're not &C
qualnted with the many and sun.
dry Young men, and older ones,
who would have been glad TO lii,
the flowers and pour II the de.
luge OF blossoms at the feet oil
some lair maiden at such a low
cost. \ half bushel OF roses and
violets worth twenty.nv dollars
tor the small sum o. two dollars
and sixty. ive cents. Therefore
they were sold to a travelling man,
who took them On his way.
Some youths were very sore
over the matter, very indeed, IN
tact so sore that one found some
consolation in the situation.
Quoth he: Myself has toe
much sense TO get into that game,
very much SO. Suppose had
raised the cash and sem thos,
fancy posies 10 a lady She would
have been pleased tot sure, though
she would wonder wherefore my
sudden and unrestralned gen.
crosby, but not tor long. Such
things are sure 10 get IN the paper.
YOU know, and the maid would
spot me As the buyer VI the marked
goods, and other maids seeing
them would say, oh Sadie, how
beautiful. read about them IT
the News. How lovely It was Ion
some m to yet YOU all theS,
flowers Tor Just s2.bS. How re.
diculously cheap. Why a mar
sent me ten dollars worth the
other night and they were mol
nearly so many a. YOURS. AnC
30 YOU SEE where little Will,
would be.
