Up IN my little chamber in the turret, the caves
went today to sit awhile and muse:
And there with and their leaves
Laid in drawer found my babys shoes
His little half shoe ali mel how quickly do the tears
Fall, as press them o my heart
And memory brings before the poignant grief and fears
That my lot the day we had to part.
How long it and yet but yesterday
held him / my my pride and JOY,
Or listened to the music of his laughter while at play
Now he is concur little baby boy!
kiss the dainty half shoes that held his tiny feet
And with heart too full for uterance long
10 hold him and hear his voice so sweet
As when he crooned with me his byelow song
And dwes in love for him we held so dear
Whom God has taken o that better land
ask faith and of Him make the things more clear
Which do not know or understand
Dear God who deemed worthy when Thou sent this cross
And gave strength that my cross might bear
pray hee each day make worthy Lord to be
The mother of an angel over there.

MOGALES did not hedge on taking
a franchise in the Rio Grande

simple reason that Douglas looked

any other city shows any hesitancy
about complying with the leagues
conditions, Nogales will get a chance.
