California’s Best.

Our schoolmarm stands five feet ten, and is prettier than an Arabian colt. She is smarter than anybody, and always makes the School Superintendent’s arm tired cutting notches in his stick to tally the points she makes on examination day. She cau ride bareback the cussedest mustang that ever was foaled, and can dance anything from the dance of death down to a square double-shuffle on a cedar puncheon. She can sing psalm, tunes like a ten-octave angel, or beat any sport in the State at seven-up. Now, does any other California ranch want to gamble on gchoolmarms Quincy ( Cal. ) National.
