That ordinance ought to pass as a matter of ielf preservation. BEHBUTLEB didn't get a chance to work up political capital out of the imprisanmeni of Dennis Kearney. Dennis as out of the house of bond- aga before Ben had put in an appear ance. According to one Chicago paper Don Cameron counts four votes from Ne- braakarfor Grant. If Don Cameron's estimates of other states are as reli able as is his estimate of Grants stren fe' Nebraska there is not the remotest danger of the Generals nom- ination. DR. MILLER is not as well informed about the Tilden boom as a man in side the ring ought to ba. Mirsouri is not for Tilden by a large majority. The delegation stands 21 anli-Tilden to 9 for Tilden , and unless the bar'l bursts a hoop , that's the way the Mis- Bourians will vote at Cincinnati. THE OMAHA BEE says Governor Nance made a blunder in going to that place during the strike. The J ° n ° 5 probably knew his basinets. [ North Bead Independent THE BEE said no such thing. THE BEE simply expressed the opinion that.tho governor made a blunder in calling out militia and bringing them to Omaha without a requisition from the mayor of Omaha. This is our opinion still. THE Republican is shocked at the protjj entered by this paper against the .wilful misrepresentation of the republicans of this slalo by Mr. Os- born in the national committee. The Republican attempts to petti fog the cas3 by asking whether the national committeeman is bound in vnU. in * .or < -rritK I to oentimont of four years ago. We claim that the conumtteemin does not represent himself but the entire party in his state , hence ho is in honor bound to cast voles in the committee in accord ance with the known sentiments of the men he represents. There can be no evasion of that duty without a breach of trust. THE 'OMAHA BEE takes occasion to deride Senator Paddock over the Omaha smelting works strike. Wo admire Eosey's energy and back-bone ina'preat many things ; but in this matter wo certainly think he is shoot ing wide of the mark. If there is any thing we do admire it is the prompt ness of Senator Paddock in calling the president out of bed at midnight for the purpose of securing for the citizens of Nebraska's metropolis an obser vance of law and order. Friendvlllo Telegraph. Wo appreciate the compliment of our contemporary but doubt Jthe soundness of its Jogie. In common with other journals our comtemporary labors undoi an erroneous impsesiion concerning tha functions and duties of , public men. KTho'stateof Nebraska , like every other statejin the union\has a chief executive known as the governor , whose duty it is to execute' the laws , enforce order and suppress domestic violence throughout the state. In case [ ofjinvaeion ror * rebellion , when the civiland military authoritiesjof the state find thomtelvos unable to restore order , the president of United States may , upon a request by the ROvernor or state legislature , employ federal troops to assist the state authorities in repelling invasion or putting down re bellion. Nowhsre do xthe national or state ' constitutions contemplate the mterventionwofTTnitodK States sena tors in such emergencies. Their functions are purely legisla tive except in the confirmation of f officers appointad by 'the President. Now Senator Paddock'appears to labor under the delusion that ho is gover nor as well as Senator and that the Governor is simply his clerk. Before any step had been taken by the state authorities Mr. Paddock telegraphed the following pormptory order from Washington. WATHIKQTOK , May 21st , 1880. GOT. Nance , Lincoln ; Omaha citizens ask for itho me of troops ftntntt a threatened riot. Tele- grapa the President requesting some immediately , A. S. PADDOCE. instruction to the Governor handed an aisumpticn cf authority as was the midnight call on the president. The governor did not respond to Paddock's peremp tory order , bn Mr. Paddock repre sented totheyproaident that he had a roquiaition from the acting governor , Secretary Alexander , when he knew , or ought ; to have known , that Mr. Alexander could notj&ct as governor uadar our constitution. The only afety fer. any country is the'enforce- sent of the laws.A senator has no sore rigki to enaroach upon the pro/ * ' roeatires'of a governor than the gov- raor h" to 'assume.tbe . role of sena tor. E ca should" know his sphere asd keep within it , Larawje City propose * to told a 03 of July , ' A\VL i ; MEMOBAL DAY. Throughout the length and breadth of our country loyal hearts and will ing hands have once more united to pay a fitting tribute to the memories , the nations heroes. Flowers , the emblem's of life , have unearthed their brilliant colon and sent their grateful fragrance over the last resting places of the heoric dead. Sympathetic he lit 3 and eloquent voices have joined in paying their homage to the loyal deeds of the nation's defenders , and in many a southern city and vill'age the chivalous sons and daughters of those who once fought in opposing strife with the very men whoso deaths are now csmmennratcd , have lent a helping hand in making bright the graves and green the recollections of the fallen dead. It is eminently fitting that in abusy nation like our own , where the past is soon forgotten in the strife of the pre sent and the longings for the future , such a day should be set aside In com memoration of the patriotic men who died to preserve the Union. Eepublics are proverbially ungrateful. The anxiety for present advancement and future power , the intense activity and mental strainthe constantly recurring political contests into which the coun try is so periodically plunged , all tend to render us oblivious of the past service rendered by the gallant heroes of the grand army of the Union. Decoration day recalls on each recurring year not only the memories of those who died that the nation might live , but also and far beyond this , the blessed boon which was purchased at so tre mendous a eacrificc. Far beyond the price of national unity , is national unity itself , infinitely higher than the cost of blood and treasure paid for a free republic is the repub lic which gained Its free dom by that cost. But the loyalty , the patriotism , the self abnegation which were exhibited by our fallen patriots can never bo forgotten by a grateful people. The flowers which deck the graves of the nation's heroes may fade , the laurel and immortelles may wither but his tory will embalm their memory for all future ages. "Sweet and becoming it Is to die for one's country , " sang the old Roman pcct , "like incense the memory of the braye lingers in the air , even though the censer be withdrawn , like the mellww tones of a silver bell it vi- brate3 through time into eternity. " Green bo the flowers then which bloom over the graves of the nation's heroes. Their example lives even though they themselves have de parted. ORGANIZING THE CONVENTION. It is now conceded that theoutcome of the Chicago convention will depend in a great measure upon the organiza tion of that body. Don Cameron , chair man of the national committee , was elected after a protracted contest by ana majority , -A majority of ilia committee was pronounced anti-Grant but voted for Cameron on account of his active personal canvas. In"namingtho temporary chairman Don Cameron is expected to name the choice of the fcommittee and not his own preference. But even if he names a Grant man as temporary chairman the organization will doubt less be anti-Grant. It is not pretend ed by any respectable authority that Grant has a majority-of the states. The claim of a majority of all the delegates is only made for Grant by counting the large states of New York , Pennsylvania and Illinois for him. It is the duty of the temporary chairman to call the roll of states for nominations to be made for members of the several committees on creden tials , on permanent organization , on order of business and on resolutions. In this proceeding , each state names one man to bo appointed on each committee , and a small state counts for as much as a large one , and a territory has as much power and in fluence as a state. Take the con struction of the committee on creden tials , for example , Maine would name a Blaine man , New York a Grant man , Ohio , a Sherman man , and so on through the entire roll of states and territories , down to the dis trict of Columbia. The result mutt bo an anti-Grant organization of the committees which would result in an anti-Grant permanent chairman and the admission of anti- Grant delegations under the principle of district representation ] as opposed to the unit rule. It is reasonable to believe that this will be the result in Chicago , and if the anti-Grant men co operate , as it is the interest of all of them to do in order to break the unit rule , the general may be defeated on the first ballot , for it is certain that bo cannot control a majority of the forty- three states and territories. The ma jority of the stales and territories are anti-Grant. HONEY FOR THE LADIES. Whole aprons of artificial flowers will be worn on midsummer festival dresses. Elbow and shoulder capes of black lace , chenille and fine , cut jet will be very fashionable. None of the Cincinnati mobs raise their hats to a lady until they have passed her by nine feet. A beautiful hair ornament is the real dragon fly of Peru , exquisitely mounted upon a golden wire. One man eloped with the wife of another from a spelling-bee in Tennes see. It seems a speliing-beo has its stings as well as others. A young lady of Elmira fell flat on the sidewalk while walking with her beau , and the city gave her $1000 to settle the damage to her feelings. California women make the best time in walking matches. This is be came of their crooked legs 'and long heels , instead of their snperiorbeauty. A'6 ? " " the name of a coarse white linen batiste used in combina ' tion with antique and Medicia lace for 'ladies' summer dresses. It was a Chicago lady who first in vented the idea of placing a cansry bird stuffed with eawdust in a place where a cat would have to work two hours to get at it. Horseshoe buttons of black and transparent pesri are $ ut hi such hjgh relief that the transparent-part of'the pearl servos , as a foundation for the shoe , which is of the black , while the foundation is invisable at a distance. "Adjutant" cords of heavy basket- woven black eilk , with nets woven in at intervals and clusters of large cut jets ftrung between the knots , aroused used as loops over the shoulder , on tha sleeve near the hand and across the breast. London World : "What is a woman who trusts to paint and patchei and othsr patent artificer to increase her attractions and cbncsarthTrava es of time by the incarnation of foolishness , seoirg that it ia she alone who is de- . * ceived ? * Handkerchief costumes will again be worn this cummer , and in this con nection it may be mentioned that one of the mcst novel of the parasols al luded to is covered with a brilliant fac simile of the old fashioned ban danna handkerchief. If the young woman who sent us the poem , "Uur thoughts are too sweet for word , " had stopped with that much , we would have been too gallant to dUbeliovo her ; but when she wrote sixteen verses of it , it look ed a little as if the. poor girl was mis taken. Large dots , little dots , polka dots , Chinesa dots , French dots , Japanese dots , brccado dote , light dots , dark dots , and dots of every szo and every style for all sorts of suits and garments , is the decree of fashion. Fashionable stockings are in all the now shades of heliotrope , cream , almond mend , old gold , blue , rose and red , while the insteps are embroidered in buttercups , rose-buds , for get-me-nots and polka dots in contrasting colors. The shot silk that is now so much worn and talked of is a moderately rich French eilk both in black and col ors , and takes the place of the Pongee silks which are now so scarce. In black , they promised for a while to be worn instead of black grenadine ; but they are really too heavy to make this substitution a good one. The Philadelphia Times justly re marks that altogether too much good advice is lavished on girls , but it for * gets that human nature is indolent , and that it is easier to advise a girl than to let it alone , and that even when the g'ri is fifty years old , and has half a dozen grown-up sons and daugh ters , it is still easy. Tender wife : Say , look here ! I've got to have a new velvet skirt right off. Got to have it. This old thing is all worn out actually threadbare down the front. Brute of husband : Just the thing , my dear. All the rage. Fashion item says velvet skirts will ba vary much worn this season. Sandpaper the back of your dress and you're setting the style. The most expensive bonnets are those upon which a great deal of fine head-work is used. A costume bonnet made of olive satin do Lyon recently , to match a toilet , was or namented with a passementerie that covered the crown , and with a fringe which extended from the sides upon the breast of beads in bronze and copper tints up to palest Nile green. The effect was very brilliant , but the fringe was upward of $20 per yard , and the beaded crown coat § 15 , so that the bonnet itself was considered cheap at S45. S45.There There is no knowing what perils a diffident young man may be exposed to in this sort of a year. They were playing a game they call euchre. She held both bowers and the king and two aces of other suit , but she was a novice at the game. A young man who was teaching her looked at her bands and warmly exclaimed , "What a lovely hand ! " She looked at him straight in the eyes and mnrmured , "you may have it if you want it. " All the rest of the evening he wondered if ho was to be the victim of a leap- year proposition or a breach of prom ise suit. It is still the f shion for every ar ticle of oress to correspond with the suit worn. For instance , with a mauve-colored toilet the trimmings are in a darker shade ; passementeries and fringes are shaded from light mauve to dark porple. The stockings are purple , the sun-shade or parasol has a mauve ground , with' violet stripes. The straw bonnet is trimmed with pansy-colored plumes and mauve- colored ribbons. The bright-colored foulards and percales in red and yel low , with broad stripes and cache- mire designs , are more suitable for colored underskirts , to be covered with black or dark tuniques of various woolen fabrics , thin for any other purpose. Only very experienced dross-makers succeed with these ma terials ; dresses made by an unskilled hand are failures. ScaUkin leather , as well alco as all- gator skin , continues in great favor for the making of bags to be worn at the side ; the belt being of course in keeping. For the latter , in way of fastenings , nothing is liked so well as straps , and the usual length is from an inch and a half to three inches , the latter being the widest limit. In alligator skin belts , the contrast be tween the outside and the inside is great , for while the former presents that harsh , wrinkled appearance with which we are familliar , the inside is daintily covered with soft latin. For such purpose , the old gold shades are chiefly in vogue , and it may be addel that the bags of the latest manufac ture are also lined with old-gold satin ; giving a fresh proof of the partiality shown these special colors. Little bags , to bo carried in tho. hand , are also made of sealskin , leather or ali- gatorskin. They look like minaturo satchels , five inches being the accepted width at the top , and are similiarly provided with inside pockets. Some are made with a gusseton the lower part. RELIGIOUS. * The choir of an Adveut church at Littleton , MIES. , dress in crimson robe * . " The First Baptist .church of Richmond mend Intends'to celebrate in June the one hundredth anniversary of its or ganization , * - , The number nf Baptists in the world is estimated to be 2,587,172 , of whom 1,500,000 are in the southern states and the territories of this coun try. Of these 1,500,000 , 900,000 are colored people. The Society of Friends is , it seems , the religious denomination which is , in proportion to its numbers * (13- ( OOOJf the best represented in parlia ment , ihoro being no fewer than ele ven Quakers in the houee of com mons. Statistics of the Catholic church in Russia , not including Poland , which have been printed in Russian news papers , report _ one archbishop , four bishops , 1,864 priests , and a popula tion of 3,397i7r9 , distributed through 1,044 parishes. The Rev. James White , .president of the Seventh Day Adventists , has resigned on account of old age. He congratulates the church on its progress - gross , but incidently remarks that he has worn , himself out for only 912 a week in money , though he expects a greater reward hereafter. The statistics of the Catholic church in England are given as these : Peers , 34 ; members of the house of lords , 26 ; members of the house of commons , 51 ; members of the queen's privy poijncil , 5 ; arch.b. Jsnops and 18 ; priests , " 2,140 ; phcesof worship , 1,348. Dr. Somerville , of the Scotch church , now 75 years old , has been preaching .to crowded audiences in evangelical churches and in some of the theatres in Italy. He speaks in English , and his sermons are trans lated sentence by sentence by native ministers. The Presbyterian Committee for Freedmen receieved the past year § 72,255 , an increase of upward of § 20,500 over the receipts ot tha pre- "viovs yeir. This larje increase * of funds has been accorapained by such an enlargement of the work ai will require at least § 100,000 for the en suing year. Not the least interesting part of the recent complimentary addresses to the pope in forty-nine different tongues by as many young men , is said to have been the intermingling of the addreses with tongs , each in the language and after the manner of tha distant coun try from which the singer cime. A very large number of cardinals and distinguished personages were present at the ceremonial. At the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church , in session In St. Louis , there is one white delegate and some mulattoes who are perfectly whit ? . A clerical spectator ( white ) ventured to say to a delegate : "Why do not these men pass as white men , and live among white men ? " The black man replied : "It used to be considered an honor to boa white man , but it is-nol eo now. " At this point the conversation ceased. At a Conference of Tunkcrs , or German Baptists , held in Lancaster , Pa. , resolutions were passed that ox- travcgance in funeral feats must bo frowned upon ; that "tho signing of tavern license is regarded as unbecom ing to those who profess to follow Christ ; " that "in any civil office , fur ther than Supervisor or Roadmaster , Overseer of the Poor , School Direc tor , and Postmaster , " a brother mutt not serve ; and that "birthday or sur prise parties can not ba permitted among the brethren " The evangelical churches of Lon don rejoice in the conversion of a great heathen , a fellow of Oxford , and nominally a member of tha church of England. The captive is no less a person than the renowned novelist , Charles Reade , who is now GG yeara of age. He has become an ardent and aggressive Centregationalist. The death of a friend to whom he was greatly attached , it is explained , turned his mind seriously to the contempla tion of religion. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. It is proposed to introduce technical education in Girard college , and plans for the same are to be immediately prepared. Mr. Rickoff has been re elected superintendent of schools in ( Here land , and will hold the office for the next two years. Harvard's summer school in geology logy will begin its work at Cambridge July 7 , and will continue four weeks. There will be excursions for field work three or four times a week. The regents of California univer sity have formally disapproved secret societies and require students entering the Institution to refrain from joining any such while under the college rule. The trustees of the university of South Carolina have formally or ganized the college of agriculture and mechanics , authorized by the legisla ture last winter. Scholarships will be csuOilisi.ea ana tuicrutt will be tree to all students whose parents live in tbo state. Joseph Seliginan's bequest for charitable purposes in characterized by the liberality and tolerance which he displayed during his lifetime. He gives § 5000 to the society for ethical culture , of which he was president , and § 25,000 to ba distributed by his executors among such charitable , benevolent and educational institu tions as they shall think beat , "with out regard to creed , race or religion. " Principals of first grade grammar schools in Chicago are to receive ? ! , - 500 , § 1,000 and § 1,700 respectively for the fir it , second and third year of their service. Head assistants in large schools , having full departments , ara to have § 850. "Assistant teachers in grammar and primary schools will bo paid as follows : In primary grades For firtt year of service , § 400 ; for second year of service , § 450 ; for third of sejrvice , § 550 ; for fourth year of service , § 600 ; for fifth and subsequent years of eervice , § 650. The salary of the principal of the central high school is fixed at § 2,250. In transferring to the board of trustees the property left by Mr. Leon ard Case for a school of applied sci ence in Cleveland , Mr. Case's man of business communicated the donor's opinions on the proper use of the same. Firat quoting Prof. Huxley on the expediency of spending money lavishly on educational apparatus , li braries and the best professors instead of throwing it away on gorgeous building - ing * , Mr. Abbey said that Mr. Case fully concurred in tha professor's views and directed him to present the same to the board as the ex pression of his deliberate convictions. The board adopted a resolution ap proving and concurring in these views also. also.There There are 5,850 colored pupils In the public schools of Washington. The number of white pupils is 11- , 850. At a recent meeting of the trus tees it was seriously stated that a growing evil among the pupila especi ally of the normal schools was ther spirit of emulation in dress. One of the board said there was a particular extravagance in sashes , and mentioned instances of pupils being called up to receieve diplomas , bursting into tears because they did not have sashes. The board finally adopted a resolution recommend ing the pupils to observe simplic ity of dress in the closing exercises of all the schools. Careless people may think such matters without the prov ince of a school board , but there really is exceeding good sense in the action of these trustees. Poor par ents are often sorely tried to dress their daughters after the unreasonable fashion of their mates at these school exhibitions. The trustees might have used one argument which they seem ta "have neglected and that is the very bad taste of furbelowing young girls for public exhibition of this sort. The more simple the dress , the more refined the person. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. MUs Annie Louise Carey intends to spend the coming yearnn Europe.

The Hackensack Republican calls them telephone cigars when they can be smoked in New York and smelled in New Jersey. The Oil City Derrick remarks that it is a wisa man that can recognize a circus from the description given on tha advertising boards. The United States produce 7,800- 000 gallons of cotton seed oil a year , and a share of it gets around to aris tocratic dining tables labelled "Huile d' Olivo. " A Syarcuse dentist has a larga mir ror before his operating chair in order that the paaents can see the expres sion of their faces as tha tooth bo'ngs to ttirt at the roots. The comet discovered by the Ann Arbor professor has a tail three min utes long. An insignificant affair. The New Xork Ledger frequently has a tale ten months long. The Bloomington Eye publishes births , marriages , and deaths under the heading : "Hatched , Matched , Despatched. " It would take less type , says the Philadelphia Bulletin , toeay : "Wed , Bred , Dead. " "Cat's can't live at a greater eleva tion than 13,000 feet above the level of the sea ; " but if a woodshed was bu-lt 14,000 feet above the sea , and a few families lived that high in the vi cinity , it is pretty certain that cats would get on the top of the shed to howl or perish in the attempt. "The shallows murmur while the deeps ara dumb" has been observed by many persons in lager beer gar dens. About three schooners make a fellow talkative ; seven make him yell , but seventeen are beyond his depth , and he is as dumb as an oyster , not even nodding to an invitation to take another. A Philadelphia mm , says The Chronicle-Herald , has taken out a patent for keeping the yard free from cats. His plan is to fill them with nitro glycerine by concealing it in their food , and the moment they at tempt to scale the fence the explosion that takes place loaves nothing but a few hairs. A Dubuque saloon man has notices poited up all over the city which read : "Wanted 5000 men to unload schooners. " When some one not posted in bibulous slang goes around and applies for a job , and is told that ho can unload a schooner of beer for a iiUKie. no goes away sorrowiul. Edward Hoyt was hanged at Bridge * port , Conn. , on the 13th inst. , for the 'murder of his father. The New Ha ven Register says a reporter of that paper spent the previous night in jail and conversed with him. This will explain why the doomed man appear ed so perfectly resigned to his fate ntxt morning'and said the gallows had no further terrors for him. Taing Slam , a Chinaman , and Per simmons , an Indian , played poker at Nevada , Cal. Persimmons had three kings dealt him. "Ugh , him bad. Gib me one , two cards , " remarked the Indian complacently. Tsing Slam shuffled out the tv7o , and one of them proved to be the lost king in the deck. Persimmons led his on warily , and pretty soon they had § 30 apiece on the board. "Mo call urn , " murmured the red man , as he got to the bottom of his wallet. It is the old itory of misplaced confidence. The China man held four aces. "You heap cheatum , " yelled the Digger , making a lunge with a knife , cutting off the Chinaman's queue. That infuriated the Celestial , and he killed the Indian with a pistol. CONNUBIAL SIPS. The eldest daughter of Gen. Ord Is shortly to marry Gen. Trevino , of the Mexican army , at Galveiton. Florence Davenport has married .Harold Tears. When she is tired of him sha will probably shed Tears. ' Two Cincinnati brides defied augury the other day and went to the altar in dressoi of black silk and black bro cade. Their swains should have worn white linen suits. The bridal bell at the wedding of Miss Gunther , New York , will be of the Chinese variety , bails of flowers will hang from its thirty-six points , and there will be a rose garden bo * neath it. A bridegroom named Blair , near Clarence , Cedar county , filed his ob jections to a charivari party with a shot gun last month , and the grand jury has dismissed the complaint against him. * A party of young men attempted to give a wedding party a charivari in the town of Kossuth , Wis. , Tuesday evening , but with disastrous results. The old man , the father of the bride , not appreciating their kindness , open ed fire upon them , wounding three of them very seriously. No arrests have yet been made. The marriage of the Viscount Alex andra d'Rosotti ( Catholic ) with Mile. Rose Marie do Kronigborpr ( Protest ant ) took place recently in Parii. To avoid all difficulties , and to insure the blessing of heaven beyond a doubt , the couple were first wedded in the temple of the Holy Ghost Rue Roqne- pine , and then in the Church Saint Philippe do Ronle. "A marriage , which took place a few days ago at Paisley , caused , " says the London Truth , "such an excite- mout that tha newly married couple had to be escorted to their abode by a detachment ot police. The bride , who has already buried four husbands , is aged eighty-four , while the bridegroom is only thirty-six , a disparity of which the populace by no means approved. " A wedding in high life took place on the evening of May lit Mr. Isaac Ellis led to the altar Mrs. Mary , formerly Mtdam Caboose , of the Blackfoct nation. Ona of the novel features of the affair was thai the wedding csreincny was performed under the canopy of heaven , and wit nessed by more than the usual number of invited guests. The groom was ably supported by Deacon David Ogle , who delivered in the natural tongue of the blushing bride a fiery oration , ac companied by the most appropriate signs and gestures , An eye witness states thai the bride was most becomingly - ingly arrayed in a-pair of new cotton jtock'ngi ' bought for the AHD OTHERS SEEKHTtf HEALTH , STRENGTH and ENERGY , WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS.

Greatest Discovery of tbe Age. Wonderful discoveries in the world have been made Among other things where Santa Clam stayed , Children oft ask If he makes goods or not , If really he lives in a mountain of snow. Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Poll And suddenly dropped in to what seemedlikeuhola Where wonder of wonders they found a new land , rfhlle fairy-like being * appeared on each hand. Then were mountains like ours , with more beautiful green , And far brighter ikies than ever were seen , Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found , While flowers of exquitite fragrance wera grow ing around. Not long were they left to wondtr In doubt , A being soon cama they had heard much about , Twas Santa Clans' self and tb Is they all say. He loked like the picture t esee.every day. He drove up a team that looked very queer , Twas a team tf grasshoppers instead of reindeer , He rode in a shell instead of a elclgb , But he took , them on boud and drove them away. Ho showed them all uver his wonderful realm , And. factories making goods for women and men. Furriers were working on hats great and small , To Bunco's ther said they were sending them all. Kris Kingle , the Glove Maker , told them at once , All our Gloves we are sending to Bunco , Santa showed them suspenders and many things mere. Saying I alse took these to M nd Dunce's store. Santa Clans then whispered a secret he'd tell , As in Omaha every one knew Bunco well , lie therefore snouia rend bis eoods to his can , Knowing his friends will get their full share. Now remember ye dwellers In Omaha town , AH who want preTenta to Bonce's go round , For shiitg , collars , or gloves great and small , Send your sister or aunt one aud all.
