That what we two are driving at
viii not take long to say?
The little promise you made us both
Has not come through today.
Now understand. we know you well,
No better scout there are,
But each and every day We feel
That your memory's gone ajar.
The mail man passes in with mail (.
At morn and noon and night:
We eagerly sean what he has left,
But nothing comes to sight.
Now somewhere in this preamble
An allegations made
OF random promise. Bill.
And in order it may not fade
We have taken stringent measures
To jar your mental score.
Do we. or don't we. get
That paper left al our door?
You know you awakened memories
OF those dear old days of yore;
You made us feel so happy,
All, yes. to the very core.
So come now, old chap. awaken,
Spill some type in form ii you
will
Address your Tonopah Bonanza
To the two who are awaiting it
still.
We know in the stress of your
business
An oversight's bound to occur:
We accept your apology most keenly;
Mr.. Booth, you're gentleman, sir
Now you'll pardon this doggerel
But a slight punishment we had TO
infiict;
Bill Booth, we like you immensely,
So our lines Wen now restrict
We wish you the best in the world
Bill
Health, wealth. prosperity galore
Hope you'll visit us ever so often,
We'd like to see much of you more
Now don't forget the Bonanza,
We know it was a slip of the mind
To us down here in old Frisco,
To Tonopah up there it will bind
A hand-clasp, shake. token
OF friendship to you at all times,
Our regards. our best wishes.
sincerely,
To you, old pal, at the mines.

OUCH! BUT THERE'S POETIC LICENSE

OOUiIi UUI tu1uI
The Boss is out of town. setting up
blinds for duck hunts after the
season opens. and the Hired Man
takes the privilege of publishing some
OF the rottenest poetry he ever read.
The redeeming features are the heart
element and the sagebrush scent
Everybody in Tonopah remembers
Stanley and no one will ever forget
Hofer. 1t seems that the Boss,
while in San Francisco, had lemon

them on the Bonanza's list and forgot

somewhat puzzling, plagueing and
pleasing TO receive the doggerel that
follows: The verse is decidedly
clubfooted. 1t was difficult job to
rearrange the punctuation and in
one or two instances the necessity
arose for substitution of words to
permit this family newspaper to go
through the mails, but the tout en-

They are in, not of, California They
are still Nevadans at heart. The
Boss will probably fire the Hired
Man-which will not establish a
precedent--when he looks over this
issue, but even with, that prospect
the insistence is overwhelming to
publish this 'pome" which so fully
enunciates the good old Nevada spirit
and is not a bad boost for the
Bonanza, one of its interpreters:
San Francisco, Sept. 26, 1916.
Mr., William Booth,
Editor Tonopah Bonanza,
Tonopah, Nevada.
Dear Bill:
You journeyed to our city
Not so very long ago.
Right fresh from old Nevada;
Al least you told us so.
And believe us we believe you,
For you sure did radiate
That spirit of the desert.
cnfrst ,,,itbo,,t q nat,
And in your journeys onward
And through the busy street
You CHANGED to stop to thinker
AS to whom you'd like to meet.
Perchance it was by accident,
Perchance it was by fate,
But be it one or other
We've just got to relate
The fact that in all its badness.
The fact that still remains,
A thirst came DER your system
And this We do maintain,
Twas your right and privilege
To queneh at once the same
AT a liquid emporium,
You cared not what the name.
But, pshaw, let's forget what happened
And get down to solid facts;
Forget the incidentals,
Here goes for hard brass tacks.
The cafe that you entered
On this suspicious day
Was run by old pal Stanley
Ha ha, what do you say
That you had most forgotten
On return to native shore
The promise made at random?
Shall we tell you something more
That as the tales Of yesterday,
The tales of more than gold.
Were told and told and told again
And never could grow old;
That another son of your native heat
Dropped in and shook your hand,

LIFE AND NATURE.-In answer
to the article on nature, by Sixten
Carlson, in which he sets forth the
proposition that nature is intelligent,
or that there is an intelligent force
working in back of nature, l wish
to state that all Of the evidence
points to the contrary. He says:
Gaze at the tree, and if we have
some knowledge of it we will know it
has intelligence in back of it." We
are to assume, according to his argu-
ment, that because the tree is beau
tiful to look upon and rests the eyes,
consumes carbon dioXide and throws
off oxygen, these changes he attrib-
utes to a guiding intelligent force
and not natural laws.
Certain conditions of nature bring
forth the trees and other plant life.
And nature will just as rUthlessly de-
strOy the thing it has created. Ma
ture permits it to rain on the ocean,
where it is not needed, while large
areas of land become barren for the
lack of it. Heat and cold are distrib-
uted very UnequaIly, changing sud-
denly from one extreme to the other.
Life itself is a mere accident. Where
conditions are favorable life exists.
Nature makes no intelligent adj
justment Man is a product of ma
lures laws and has developed intelli-
gence, whereby he is continually i'm
proving on the products of nature to
suit his needs. Harvesting the ele-
ments to make his burden lighter,
life is an endless struggle for exis-
tence, one form of life against an
other. The life you destroy to fur
Their your own existence is just as
sweet, just as precious to it, as your
life is to you. Natures laws are
