THE WILD WESTERN POET.
I’m a bold Western poet, Just bear my ba

A rip-roering rhymer from Kalamazoo :
I mug ell the Hleng from Oshkosh to Yazoo ;
I’m a corker, and don’t yon forgot it.
I eing of El Melidt end robot half-breed* .
I paint, the town rod with praiee of their
deed*:
With the blood of thoir victim* I paint ail
toy eorceda;
It’* nohe of yonr biz how 1 get it.
My pa wa* a blizzard, roy mi a cyclone:
I wa* born tip m Ueadwood and raiaod in
Tombstone;
I grew up a Pinto, howling Ktmshoun;
I’m a screamer, a pigeon.toed daisy.
My thought* are no hot that they *>zz in
my brain;
I dine npon dynamite, scrambled or plain,
And beakers pt whiskey and powder I drain
Till tenderfoot think I am oranty.
rtut I’m not, it i* aimply my nature to
about
I’m a hummer, a Hfoux, and my ma know*
’ I*m ont;
I’m a wild Western jwet, without any donbt,
Though my metaphor* are somewhat
hazy.
Artist* should never neglect being vac
cinated, because they are always sketch
ing something.
Mr*. Yasl would like to know if a
Whiskey straight ia any relation of a
spirit-level, and if not, why uot t"
“Doe* nlooliol wurro u?" ask* a Bos

home howling full ot it and your wife
will.
