"The Sleeping Beauty"

When | read your splendid pa
per, that you're building in this
town, by my dimly burning Ia
per, could scarce smooth out
frown that came mounting to
my forehead, because saw our
town outdone. l wonder is our
village dead or are all our laurels
won? There's stony Lakeside,
by jing, way up among the
pines, that makes the whole
country ring with tommy rot
and rhymes. They'd make one
think, I'm sure they would, that
folks live there or really could.
And Showlow, that garden spot,
where the fertile soil grows
malapais; they're absent but not
forgot, for can't you hear their
booming cries? And over in a
thriving vale, where King Corn
does some growing stunts, we
see the doings of Pinedale, COM
pared with which, we're merely
runts. And Taylor. our worthy
foe, is growing tallow on her
sides a-feeding on the things
that grow. She's passing us
with giant strides. Even Wood
ruff, the shady nook, where
children wed and foxtails grow
beside the ever flowing brook,
has cleared her throat and be-
gun to crow. And st. Joe, that
thriving town where sunfowers
shade the 'dobe soil, sends forth
her budget of renown to greet
the tired sons of toll. But dumb
Snowflake, that sleeping town,
the quest of agents far and
near, boasts not a bard of fame
renown, nor fertile soil nor wa
ters clear; nor sprouting mala-
pals nor giant strides, nor grow
ing corn nor fat'n ming foods; nor
shady hooks nor youthful brides,
nor laying hens nor biddy broods;
nor towering fields of yellow
tint, nor 'dobe soil with saline
crust. Now let the others take
the hint: A windy soul must
blow or bust. MART IONA.

A large and interested crowd was on hand to listen to proceedings when the fifteenth Common council met in re- gular session last night, the majority of whom were no doubt drawn to the scene by the prospect that the council would make final disposal of the last remaining plum in their political basket. And they were not disap- pointed for after the disposal of sun dry other routine business in the regu- lar order, Councilman Chas. Thompson rose with an air of deep humility and suggested the appointment of a peace officer. In rapid succession the names of Wm. Brown, Edward lIoran and Wm Dougherty were placed in nomination, but it required two roll calls before the council could agree on who was it. The first roll call dis closed Blake, Ross and Diamond Xot- ing for Dougherty while Burgh, Leh- mann and Thompson cast their vote for Brown. Horan found one support CT in Councilman Lomen. There being nothing doing the council thereupon needed the time -honored adage and tried again" This time it was diff ferent for Mir Horan was lost in the shuttle and the roll call brought fourth the answering call of "Dougherty" from Blake, Lomen, Ross and Diamond the others voting for Brown.
