Good Lord, l much fear me, that
before this COMPOUNDED "City Beauti.
full" proposition is over, I'll have a
whole wheel factory in my think-tank.
The hook was beautifully baited and
chloroform had been applied to the
public, when (curses) it opened one
eye, yawned, reached forth and caught
the deep-dyed william in the act. The
fats in the fire, the stuffs' off, the
balloons bust, and resolution No. 1879
has been killed deader'n a smelt. Let
us bury it, that is, unless the authori-
ties wish to employ its noxious gases
to overpower the national enemy.
The outraged aristoracy and the
dametal democracy, by their multitude
of petitions should show you, Willyum,
that they are not particularly pleased
with your assortment of axle-grease.
So the district included "practically
all of the town" did it? Well, now,
this idea of singing only 1850 lots
out of 2152 to make Glasgow beauti-
full smells 'spicious. Looks as though
somebody had done some alfred close
figuring, and they counted little me
in on the 1880. Probably if l had
been n Of the 972 that was left out
l would never have noticed it, but
was to be counted among those noble
cts who were to beautify the city for
the benefit of those who were too
tight to do anything but talk about
it, and as l have to grab so hard that
I sprain my back every time l see
a nickle floating past, l bucked.
l may look like a graphic tableau
of simplicity and ignorance, but be-
lieve me, when you touch my pocket
book, you touch my heart. This dope
of conjuring up a vision of yourself
lying in the shade of the seductive
elm reading the youths Companion
is surely lovely Tin %pictures), but
when you have to dig down in your
jeans and watch the eagles slip away
like cakes Of soap in a cistern, its
a different sort of a chune. Believe
me, I'm az willing as anybody to con.
tribute my wad to the heather, but ]
amt nc burned philanthropist. / may
yet live to build a refuge for sick
chickens, but not now, my dear,
should say not, not while the price Of
beefsteak sounds like a quotation or
Bethlehem Steel.
Willyum, we're on to you, and you1
sanctimonious stuff anent the "Cit,
Beautiful" may as we'll be RELOCATED
to the place where It is too hot tt
hold anything except newspaper ed.
itors of your peculiar breed Before
l am through exposing you, Willyum
hope you will "take me seriously
If your hand hadn't shown SO plainl!
in the drawing of that resolution
there is no shadow of a doubt blu
that the city would now be advertis
ing for bids upon the project. Oh say
sweet pet, how long did it take t.
figure out how to word the resolution
so that if enforced technical,
I would have had about $1,000 Charge
against the lots l have in Mahon'
addition? And say, would l have bee
fined for excessive watering of tn
trees? My lots are all irrigated. l
you don't believe it, slip on a pair Q
boots some day and come down an
take a peek at US. If the water O.
my lots was worth a dollar a barre
I'd have so much money I could tie u
with a solo table at Bill Shannon
until death did, Us part; and if it. wa
worth 15c a drink, l could buy tn
whole durn state. Say, Willyum, Q
the S72 lots THAT you forgot, was
an accident that a heIluvalot of ther
were in RhodesS addition? And say
If you weren't trying to get me VIII
did you includs only 81 lots (half I
