ll.-otf' California,

I'm far-Otf California.
Where truth is passing strange
The ostriches began to pine
An sicken on the range.
At last a fine young cock expired
They called the local quarkS,
Who said the symptoms pointed tp
Tenpenny nails and tacks.
When through his ventral cavity
4 probe was deeply drlv.
They found the lamented bird
Had gohhled down the fllv.
An antidote was found and now
Henritis rarely kills,
Ostrich farmer now dopes his pets
With little liver pills.

.I'H bet that's the first political
special which ever stared on trip
across the country, which didn't carry

This enthusiasts conclusion doubt
less was strong, but the special was
unique in that 1t was manned" by
women. that knitting needles flow

ments dear to the heart OF women

pledged to make suffrage the first
