tion of Mrs. Whites toast follows:
Two friends met in city afar across
the mountain way,
And one who'd just left Durango, had
landed there that day,
Then after a shake" and a friendly
soft drink
| Father Callahan murmured low,
Come. tell me about the old town,
friend;
Tell me all you know"
| Is Durango Just like it used to be;
are the Ritters living there?
Is the Animas still going out to the
| sea, and who is now the mayor :?
Are the ladies as fair and beautiful
| Are my friends all right?
| What would | give to be with them,
| in the dear old town tonight.
Each well known spot was spoken of,
each landmark he'd recall,
In CHEEKY tones he spoke about the
| churches, hospital and ALL
Each street and shop he inquired
about, DER the mountains so
far and wide
His mind wandered back to the dear
old scenes, as once again he
cried,
"Is Durango just like it used to be;
are the Camps still living
there?
Is the Animas still going out to the
sea, and who is now the mayor
Docs Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. west sing
as beautiful; are the McNeils
all right?
What would give to be with them
in the dear old town tonight.
told him Durango was "up to date,
and had a new railway line,
A movie and p swimming pool. "0h,'
said he, show fine"
That the Animas still flowed out to
tile sea, the Ritters still lived
there,
That lots of improvements were GO
ing on, and Charles e. Herr
was mayor.
For the good old town is going ahead
in the glad old summer time,
Tis the favorite holiday spot, il is
said, now isn't that just fine ?
