that the plane crashed, causing the

cowboys scouting for cattle in that
district. Indian Oasis consists of a
few abandoned shacks. and desert

tinue their flight, made an attempt
10 light 10 reach tho water hole in
order not to rum the risk of dying
of thirst.
The two aviators set out on Thurs

You let the contents mingle
And then you have some homemade

That makes your insides tingle."
And so our friend had kept his stuff
For one year after making;
Twas time that 1t was ripe enough
To set his nerves a-quaklng
To drown in tears Of joy his woe,
To ruin prohibition.
He thought he'd let his friends all

He'd realized his ambition.
And thus 1t was one week end night
There was party royal
And IN this home 1t was q sight
To see his friends so loyal
Our neighbor, beaming, made speech
And then they went down cellar;
They said he surely was peach
A marvellous good teller.
He dug a hole and found the key
He'd buried when he made it,
Unlocked a closet door with glee;
They all pushed in to raid 1t.
