l-I-l-I have come, my dear ma
dam, Hill have c-c-c-come to ask
for your -c-c-c-consent. 1 would like
to m-m-m marry your beautiful son.
Edwin
Young woman, do you think you
can support my son in the manner
to which he has become accustomed?
Or do you want my son, just because
am a rich woman?"
Il think 1 can s-s-s-support him, -
Remember, he is somewhat frail
and can do no heavy homework and
the pin money. / allow him now
amounts to s25 a week. It would be
hardship for him to be deprived of
any OF the luxuries he now enjoys at
home
Il have considered all of that
He has an automobile and driver
for his own use when he goes out to
make his afternoon calls on his young
gentlemen friends. He is tempera-
mental and takes no interest in the
running of a house. He cannot cook
and he spends great deal of time
dawdling over fancy work and china
painting"
Il know all of that, but still love
him and I will cherish him and pro-
tect him"
His clothing is great item of ex-
pense. His hats alone cost me a small
fortune"
81 know"
You know men are Eighty and Of
ten suffer from nerves. They are right
ly called the weaker sex and are be-
coming more and more of a problem. -
Il realize that, but I have already
bought the ring for Edwin. All we
need is your consent
What are your prospects?''
Il am in the hide and tallow bust
ness with my mother and we have
prospered. Father and the boys spend
great deal of time in Europe and
all of their summers at the seashore.
Mother expects to be able to spend
more time with them in the future
as she will retire from business and
leave me in charge of it. / will give
him a fine town house and a summer
chateau. a valet and an electric
limousine
Il am not particularly anxious to
see my son marry into the hide and
tallow business, but if he loves YOU.
l suppose any objection on NV part
will be useless. Young men often get
foolish notions in this regard, now
adays. They are so romantic and I'M
ed young woman who has been play
ing a mandolin under his window ey-
cry morning.
Il must confess that I am
Well I suppose I might as well
| consider your proposal. But, don't
elope with him. If you do he will
| never get one cent of my money"
II promise
We'll. bring around your bankbooks
and I will look them over. Good day.
I am very busy"
Madam. you have made me the
happiest woman in the world. Good
morning."

Mr.. John Swan. who lately returned
from trip to South Africa, called at the
Kicker office the other day to inform us
that in every single tribe of natives he
met he found that our paper led all otn-
ers by many thousands. We do not wish
to boast, but we feel compelled to say
that any wild African who wants the bes.
thing in America will send in his sub
scription. We do make a weekly paper
that all heathens must appreciate.

The Lone Jack Recorder says that it
has positive information that onca
burned the soles of a Digger Indian s

hear him sing. Some day the Recordel
man will aggravate US into pulling his
nose.

1t is seldom that we mention our es-
teemed contemporary down the street.
and we should not do SO on this occasion
except for his claiming in an editorial to
have shot a road agent who attempted to
hold him up last Saturday night. The
agents in this country don't fool away
their time holding up critters who don
have so cents in their pockets from one
weeks end to another. Our esteemed
contemporary simply imagined the whole
thing.

A MASSACHUSETTS, naner charge

A Massachusetts paper charged us witt

pie should come out here and get clear
understanding of the case.

One effect of advancing civilization is to
be witnessed in this Gulch every day. Inc

The report that 500 single women were
their way here from the east to find
husbands turns out to be a canard. They
couldn't find husbands if they came.
About two out of every three of men

and having run away from one don't
want another.

When a feller's in love, it's a dandy old
There is joy and content in the breeze
All his troubles and woes to the four

And the birds sweetly chirp in the trees
When she lays her blond head on fer

And she says that she loves him for
That he is her Locbinvar out Of ths

Then he feels like a quadmillionaire
When feller's in love he will talk like
And he writes stuff that amt fit to
He will walk down the street with an i'm

Just as though he could buy out a mint
He will put on his collar and necktie buy

Seven days in the week and he'll primp
And he'll put his old savings account on
And he'll act like regular simp.
He will swallow the CUFF that she feeds
She can lead him around by the nose.
She can make. him jump through when
she works her weird spell,
She can lead him right on to Tepose.
She throw him down in a flir-t-
She can turn him right out in the cold.
She can pass back his ring in a manner
And can spurn his affection and gold.
When a feller's in love he's a true
didate
For the insane asylum no doubt.
There is never cure for the dippy love
state;
It has just got to wear itself out
He is looney, he's batty, bereft of his

He's as shy of gray matter above
AS the toncat who yells on back alley
fence,
Yes, he is, when feller's in love.
