JACK DIAMOND.
There was a sculptor named Phidias,
Whose statues were perfectly hideous.
He made Aphrodite
Without any nightie,
And shocked the ultra-fastidious.

| Had shocked the ultra-fastidious
Then all the old aunties
Swore she must wear panties,
Which made her look perfectly hid

And if all the old aunties will
squeal-o,
Because statues don't wear a great
deal-o,
Then for heavens sake ask
That loose-fitting basque
Be made for the Venus de Milo!

Carl Mayhew and Albert w. A.
wood were looking around through the
Flagstaff tourist camp grounds last
week for local color. Artists and
journalists have. to have lots Of local
color, and sometimes the supply gets
low and they have to hustle around
and get a fresh stock.
So they were up there, with their
eyes peeled for the strange, queer,
odd, remarkable, unusual, curious,
! unique, funny, ETC., if there is any
more ETC., and SO they had their eyes
and ears open They visited with one
tourist family who were carrying
glass jar of goldfish from Alabama
to California and who expected to
eventually carry them back from Cal
ifornia to Alabama. The fish seemed
to be greatly enjoying the tour. There
was an Arkansas family with hen
and five chickens. The couple who
had them along with q lot Of children
explained that they just couldn't find
it in their hearts to leave biddy and
her family at home, as they might
not go back to Arkansas and biddy
/ had only not Matched the chickens but
she herself had laid the eggs from
which they were Matched, so that she
was in every sense their mother. Now
adays dogs are a part of most every
tourist outfit, and cats have taken to
travelling more than formerly, allud-
ing only to the four-cornered kind,
naturally other kind always did
trayel--but one family in the park
consisted of man and woman and 26
cats.
