rHE FITZGERALD LEADER, FRIDAY, APRIL 15. 1910
Eloping Up to Date
The coatless man puts a careless
arm
’Roun the waist of the hat less
girl,
While over the dustless, mudles.^
roads
In a horseless wagon they whirl
Like a leadless bullet from ham¬
merless gun.
By smokeless powder driven,
They fly to taste the. speechless
joys
By endless union given.
The only luncheon his coinless
purse
Affords to tnera the means
Is a tasteless meal of boneless cod,
With a dish of stringless beans.
He smokes his old tobaccoless pipe
And laughs a mirthless laugh
When papa tries to coax her back
By wireless telegraph. %

turned to this city on Thursday,

ment took place at Evergreen
