She looked as tho she was gazin off Into the West-out under And as she gazed off in the West,
 Her eyes grew softer, fonder Like lookin off into the West,
 When mountain mists were fallin' She saw the face she longed to see, And heard his voice a callin'. "Hurrah! we cried, fla woman
 In the camp of Blue Horizon!' Step right up, Col. Pettibone,
 And nominate your poison pizen." It wasn't long before the news
 Had spread the country over, And miners come fockin in,
 Like honey bees to clover. It did the critters good, they sed, To feast their hungry eyes on That picture of our lady
 In the camp of "Blue Horizon' Do you wonder that this woman s face Consoled the lonesome critters, Who somehow manage and contrive, To live on sand and bitters? For not one but what it served, In some way to remind him, Of mother, wife or sister,

 Quit thinkin' and proceed at once To name your favorite toddy.' But one mean cuss from Nigger Creek Passed criticisms on her, Leastwise we overheard him
 Call her Pettibone $ Madonna.' The which remark we didn't think To be respectful to a lady, So we hung him in quiet place
 Where it was cool and shady, Away back east 'twould be bad law, But it was the best maneuver To give the critics due respect
 For Pettibone's "Chef De Oover." Gone is the camp; yes, years ago, The Blue Horizon $ busted; And every mother s son of us,
 Got up one day and dusted. And Pettibone proceeded east
 With wealth in his possession, And went to Europe, so I've heard, To study his profession. Quite likely now you'll find him
 Paintin heads and faces, But no such face he I'll paint again As at old Blue Horizon For I'll allow no fairer face
 No human soul sat eyes on, And when you critters talk so grand Of Paree and the Louvre, say Oh! but you ought a seen

To PLAY q Game Of Baseball
With Local Team al
the Union Park.

AS baseball fans know but three
games have been lost on the home
grounds this year and while the
management has no desire to de-
tract from the visiting teams which
turned the trick, the .fcubs" feel
that they cannot winter without re-
venge. The first team to do the nm
expected was Parkersburg in the af-
ternoon game Decoration Day, when
mainly through the eReetive pitch
ing of Southpaw Tucker the local
team was shut out 2 to O. The
Pittsburg CoIlegians were the neNt
to defeat the locals. Danley's Wild
ness IN the inning was mainly
responsible for the defeat. MonOn-
gah, with Vic Toothman and his
GINNING left arm lew Sundays ago,
and center fielder 1ohnson's huIse
triple play were the last.
Nice juicy revenge the home team
got on Toothman ct al last Sunday
when on their own back lot it took
them over in fourteen innings. On
September 10 the bloodthirsty Col
1egfans will come back to the city
and the hungry ''cubs" will be
starved and trained to the second
for their reception. But the first
chance will be at ParkersburG and
Thicker next Sunday. Already Man
