TWO LITTLE PA^S OF BOOT S
*»
Two little pairs of boots tonight
Before the tire are drving;
Two little pairs of tired feet
In a trundle bed are lying;
The tracks they left upon the floor
Make me feel like sighing.
Those little boots with copper toesr
They run the livelong dav;
And oftentimes I almost wish
That the? were miles away;
So tired am I to hear so oft
Thfir heavy tramp at play.
Today I was disposed to scold,-
But when 1 look tonight
At those little boots before the fire.
With copper toes i-o bright,
I think how sad mv heart would be
To put them out ot sight.
I mourn because I thought how nice
My neighbor ’cross the way
Could keep her’earpets all the year
•From getting worn or gray;
Yet well I know she’d smile to own
Some little boots today.

correspondent,
The brewers are just trying to
fool the people into voting for
prohibition by making them
think the liquor people don’t
want prohibition. The reason
they always fight prohibition is
bee mse they want it. Thev al
ways sell more liquor in prohibi
tion districts than thev do in dis-
tricts where there are saloons.
The brewers and distillers al-
ready have their forces mirshal-
ed and plans made to fight State
prohibition next year. They are
spending hundreds of thousands
of dollars and making a deter-
mined onslaught on the prohibi
tion forces in the hope that the
State will go dry so that they
will have a better business in
Texas- Oh! these brewers are
sly old fellows. Some of these
days they are going to want the
whole Union to go dry so they
can move down to Mexico and
ship more liquor into the States
they e;et there seem to be per-
fectly contented to stay, be-
lieving that because business is
better.drunkenness decreased and
crime greatly lessened that the
brewers and distillers are not sell-
ing as much liquor and raising as
much trouble as they did before
