MORE LIKE NEW YORK EVERY DAY.
Mexico is becoming more metropol-
itan every day. A pet dog, which was
killed by a railroad train, was buried
in a fine casket. A wreath OF beauti-
full flowers was placed on the coffin
and the dogs mistress sang a lifting
requiem. Before the casket was low
cred into the grave the dogs master
delivered a eulogy on the life OF the
faithful animal, and to top 1t all, the
Mexico Ledger "Owl' spread himself
on q long obituary, which, to use the
Owls own ~phraseology, was a dogRone
fine piece of work.-Steve O'Grady In
Kansas City Times.
COULDN'T LEAVE OUR soUL-MATE.
The Ledger Owl did intend to take
little fly around the circle, to-day,
but religious and political matters
kept US at our desk In the Blue Room.
We want the young chickens TO grow
taller and fatter, big fat tomatoes to
get redder and watermelons ripper,
then u good country friends may
look out the window for the Owl and
his friend, Col. Steve O'Grady, Of the
Kansas City Times. But the main
obstacle In not making our getaway
to-day was that we just couldn't leave
our soul-mate 80 long. We believe we
are about half way In love-and it's
close up to awful to be In love with a
pretty girl and then get side-tracked.
JIM AND EUoIE AT THE FOUNTAIN.
The young things to a drug store went
to buy some cooling cream,
Jim wor his Sabbath raimen Mt, Euoie
was a tnightmare) dream.
She wore one of those hobble things
and wabbled like a goose,
And In her freakish bonnet she looked
Just like the deuce.
Jim asked her what she liked the best,
his love he would impress.
Eucie said she really didn't care, Just
so it matched her dress.
And then asked for a dozen things, ia
fact, named every kind,
TIL the perplexed dispenser almost
lost bis mind
In frenzy then he dished it up--a score
of kinds he counted,
And with q chocolate mouse then he
the whole layout surmounted.
The day was hot, the mouse slid of
the swiftly melting cream
Just b 1t met Eucie's startled gaze,
and forthwith she gave a scream.
She could not Jump upon a chair-the
hobble held her back,
She only stood and raved and yelled
until her face was black.
In DR.. Kanaly's taxicab they took her
home, was cured at last, they say,
But bobble skirts and ices, too, she
hates until this day.
