OUR DEAR BOY
When Pauline Adams came to town
She drove the laddeu wild and Ray
To desperation quite
And lost to self and beauties of qur race
With Queeuly graces and her charms
She wound each thread and ball of yarn
Till cables held them safe and strong
- Beneath her magic scepter wand
Again In transformation grand
She merges forth In buffalo
With bells and ornaments her hand
Has double the power of week befo
The dear enchanted boys drew near
And wondered at the form so gay
They ventured nearer and one dear
Was caught aud held within her sway
In dazzling splendor now he gleams
Exciting fever burns his brow
Hes btepplug high on air it seems
And higher burns his fever now
Ill join this band of warriors bold
IHputthswarpalutonmyface
Clothe me in garments let me hold
High rank among the Indian race
Oh dazzling beauty Buckskin Paul
Why cant I shine like you iu yours
My Indian garb is perfect ah
What lack I now but Indian spurs
Thus clad in garments of the Sioux
This laddie perched upon his throne
- The pow wow camp but ah
laddie wild has wilder grown
He breaks his bonds and with a spring
As wild a whoop and learlul face
Goes tearing ao wn the street to bring
Himself with warrior face to face
In madness now he staggers on
Climbiug the air toCou oi space
When suddenly his Hold is gohe
He falls agrouiid upon nis faee
Tis ocr now the mad gallant
Consciousness once more restored
Though lame 1 walk until 1 pant
My head Is right but awful aore
To all the editors along the F E
M V and the B M R R anin
vitation is extended to them and they
will be made welcome at Valentine
Saturday June 1st our E V A
Maupin of -the Omaha World
Herald will be here and deliver au
address in the evening IjoiiI miss it
It takes an interesting speaker an in-
telligent thoughtful and working man
- or a blamed fool to entertainan audi
ence Most speakers should feel them-
seves complimented with an audience
of fair size that will listen patiently to
iheireflorts - There are comparatively
few men gifted with the art of enter
taining and if tbey are not entertainers
they should be students and workers
or the average business man and the
majority of the people will scorn their
attempts
There will be lots of jolly men here
next Saturday and we want you all to
come and be with them and get ac
quainted with the phunny men Come
boys lets turn Dut and show them a
warm time and Valentine is -the town
of all the towns on the road to show the
boys a warm time too Lets not haye
them go back to their homes feeling
mean and saying mean things about
us We are more prosperous and wide
awake here than at most places and
they will expect something mere than
they have at home Why up at Gor
don the editor has not been able to in
dulge himself with strawberry short
cake yet and if we dont give him a
starter here Im thinking his season
will be short for strawberries
