Poor Joe was Isnky and as lean as
he could be
Until Katie married him, now you
every one can see

Miss Hazel Holland, who gave the
consolation, was introduced thus:
We shouldn't let you know 1t but
we plan things on the sly.

When a charming maiden in tones
SO mild and sweet
Offers sympathy and consolation
that she really feels is meet.
We know the stern resolve you made
will melt away like dew and
Leave you feeling sorry you did
what you had to do.

needed consolation will give,
No matter the state you're in, ii is
joy to live.
Introducing Mrs. Fugate. she

Whether the engagement be long or
short the life OF the Fugates
will tell,
That as long as love be strong and
true, all will turn out we'll.
See. with how much husbands
pride, Harry is now swelling,
While we hear his gifted wife, our
talented Lou Ellen.

With voice so sweet, and melody SO

That tbs useless any idle praise of
her
