She's there, and you may see her on any clear

And when once you have seen her, with me you'll

But he sometimes has trouble, just the same as

And then in such case, THE LADY wins out
For when her lord sets his foot down, she goes in
And so she continues, and in a pout she remains:
Until her hubby gives up, and her point she thus

She's q woman you knoW,--just like her Earth
And he's only a man, how could he resist her?
Now a short time ago, she first heard of this town,
And insisted at once, that she must come down,
Said that she really had nothing,,----not a thing left
While the home. it was was, ch nrll and dinggy and
That She had stood for his s~tinginess as long as
she would,
And was bound that at last, she would have some

TOMS SHOP
The Place for a Sanitary Shave

Place Tor Sanitary Shave
aNow i didn't come in,Y said The Lady In The Moon, r"for
either a haircut or shave,
But Il think I'd have both, if l only had the nerve, you see
i am not very brave;
For in q shop that's like this, it must be perfect bliss, to
e lie at ones ease in a chair,
while the barber does lather and your face he does
slather, and later he trims up your hair;
1t really does seem that Natures quite mean, when.
boards on our faces wont grow,
For we'd love to recine in a barber chair fine, with our
feet on the foot-rest below;
But then We can't do it, so then we must rue it, while all
of us envy the maks,
Who can shave every day,-lots of bother you say?-that's
one of those BARRIERS tales;
But I've brought down some razors from my Man In The
Moon, who wants them well honed and stropped,
For they all are so dull and have such a strong pull, that
from his former nice ways he has dropped;
Now he's heard of Toms Shop as the SWEETEST there is,
in all of The Great Northwest,
So he sent down his razors to be put in line shape, as ne
said that you'd do it the best.
And now Mr.. Barber please put them in shape, so once
more he can shave and look right,
For he's let his beard grow until he's q show, in fact he
is really a. fright

That to your certain knowledge they've gone up above

all the town talk, #
That then you'll be ready all moving to do---hauling any

CDR. Gilbreath are you the Dentist that I've read so often
about,
In my home up in The Moon Sir? now please don't look
at me in doubt;
For we surely have heard of your Gold Crowns For Five
Dollars, while all of the others charge double,
And that you only charge Fifty Cents For Extraction,
while the others ask a dollar for their trouble;
Now in The Moon we are not stight-wads," and what we
have we do want good,
But to pay a double price sir, / really don't think that we
should;
Then all Of your work, I see Sir, you most fully guarantee,
And that is the reason I am here Sir, will you do a little
work for me?
So The Lady In The Moon had some dental work done
while in Dickinson she did stay, I,
A Gold Crown and Some Bridge Work, and when finished
to the Doctor she did say,
'Now my Old Man he needs some work done and I'll
bring him down here to you,
And have you fit him with new teeth Sir, so that once
more again he may chew;
For he has always sworn iercely that he never will let
a dentist do the job, j.
Til he has found one who does work like you Sir, and
never his patients does rob"
