flowers. This is an awfully poor
looking country and full of the
most squalid people. A great

glad that President Diaz has taken
so liberal a stand as regards re

While new events are coming fast.
Let's try with might to higher rise,
Deserve, in life, success—a prize.
An aim for ’97, I give—
To live and others help to live.
Not just foi me and mine to eat,
But that the many should have meat.
A timely wish for all, I know—
That they may have the cash to show,
When to the store they all must come
To find great bargains to be won.
If to inspect ray goods you've come,
Now only ask, it shall be done.
Some pepper, spice, or prints, or tea,
Just call it out and you shall see.
If one desires a coat to spy,
Or rather would some needles buy,
I hope that offers, mine will suit,
Then mutual help will be the fruit.
