Irenin0 Amusement.

For many reasons, often selfish
ones the evening amusements of young
people are left entirely too mnch I'M
der their own control. Darkness is
temptation to eyil;and suffering young
men and boys to be absent from the
family hearth, when the light of the
day docs not restrain them from mis-
conduct, is really training them to it,
and producing incalculable mischief
and ruin. All the riots, disturbances
of any kind, and crimes, are the result
of running in The streets after night
fall. In the home something more is
necessary than the mere command,
and parents should endeavor, by their
own examples, to show the importance
of spending the hours of darkness with
the family, for if the heads of house
holds cannot experience the truth Of
the assertion that there 10 no place
like home." how can they expect their
Offspring to be domestic? Evening
recreation and employment in the fam

and pleasant than any amusement or
dissipation abroad - honorable are
the products of the one, while misera-
BILE and dissipated specimens of the hui

"WILD BILL"
He Meets his Fate at Last at Dead
wood in the Black Hills.


LrIOlu lne DcuNeI NEWS
Everybody in this country has heard Of
"Wild Bill, noted scout, buffalo hun
ter and plainsman, and who on account
of his reckless bravery was made mar
shal at different times of several frontier
towns, when it was necessary, because
OF the lawessness that prevailed in their
early settlement, to have peace officers
who would kill in order to uphold their
authority. During Wild Bills admins
tration as marshal of Abilene and Wich-
ita, he is said to have shot to death
many man who resisted him, and in
this peculiar way kept comparative peace.
Either in Abilene or Wichita, which is
not known at present to this chronicler,,
Bill once killed man named Souther.
land. That was several years ago, but
the avenger OF Sutherland's death kept
the trail like a sleuth hound.
Wild Bill" whose real name was
William Hickok, was tall, handsome
fellow, about fifty years ofage, as straight
as an Indian, and like most of his class
wore his hair, which was black as a crow,
falling over his shoulders, Having got
ten into trouble with the Texas herders
who made Wichita their headquarters
things got too warm for William and he
retired from his frontier. After remain.
ing some months at Kansas City he went
East and got into the dramatic business
under Ned Buntlne, who at that time
was making something of sensation by
introducing into the blood and thunder
plays the characters represented by "Buf-
falo Bill, William Cody of ofNebraska),
Texas Jack John Omohundro and
wild Bill" the subject of this article.
Moreover he had these parties employed
to play their own parts, and the venture
was grand success. Buffalo Bill and
Texas Jack both goth rich and married
leading actresses, and Wild Bill married
Mrs Lake, of circus fame, the widow of
Lake, the Snowman who was killed at
CRANKY Mo, about four years ago Not
long since Wild Bill came from California
with his wife, and took her to Cincinnati,
where he left her with her friends and re-
latives, and he went back to do some scout
ing duty with General Crook command.
when he first started into the Indian coun-
try.
By some means Bill drifted into the
Black Hills, and the second day of this
month he was shotin the back of the head
and Nilled at Deadwood City, by man
named Sutherland, brother of the man
of that name whom Wild Bill had killed
at Abilene or Wichita. Our informant
says that Bill has many friends in the
West, especially at Cheyenne and in the
Black Hills, who say that Sutherland
will never live to get out of that country.

ALL THINGS PERISH SAVE VIRTUE.

The following truly charming lines, by the poe
Powell, touch the heart strings so tenderly tina
they remind us forcibly of Pope's Vital Spark o
Flame"
Sweet mOrn-so COOL so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight.
For thou must die.
Sweet rOse-whOse fragrance now crave,
To glad my sense and joy mine eye,
Thy root is ever in its grave,
And thou must die.
Sweet Spring-so fall of shine and showers
1t makes the weary spirit sigh
To think, with all thy herbs and flowers
That thou must die.
Sweet musc-e'en thelovely song,
Which from my harp in windows nigh
Is floating on the breeze along,
Zen thou must die
All the bright and gistening train
Of stars that stud the deep blue sky,
Must they all perish-non0 remain
To glad the eye?
And wales and fields and rushing gstreams,
And mountains that invade the sky,
Are they as baseless as our dreams7
And must they die?,
And all that's beautiful and fair
On Natures faCe-lOves melody,
That makes sweet music of the air,
All-all must dieI
And man, frail form of senseless clay,
Tho now his glance is proud and high
Perchance upon this passing day
He too may die
But the bright soul that shrined within
The quenchless lightin mortal form
Tho dimmed by misery and sin,
Defes the worm.
When all the stars shall fade away,
And suns in their own blaze expire,
And tracklesS comets cease to stray
With wand'ring fire,
The soul shall ever live, nor know
The lapse of time, but dwell on high,
And share-in endless joy or woe
Eternity.

THE BALD. HEADED TYRANT

Oh the quiete't home on earth had l.
No thought of trouble no hint of care;
Like dream of pleasure, the days fed by,
And Peace had folded her plnions there.
But one day there joined In our household banC
bald headed tyrant from No.mansland.
Oh, the despot came in the dead of night,
And no one ventured to ask him why;
Like slaves we trembled before his might
Our hearts stood still when we heard him cry
For never soul could his power withstand,
That bald headed tyrant from NO.man's.land.
He ordered us here and he sent us there
Though never a word could his small lip.
speak
With his toothleSs gums and his vacant stare
And his helpless limbs so frail and weak,
TIL cried, in voice of stern command
go up thou bad.head from No mans-land?r
But his abject slaves they turned on me;
Like the bears In scripture they d rend me there
The while they Worshiped on bended knee
This ruthless wretch with the missing hair;
Fol- he rules them all with relentless hand,
This bald-headed tyrant from No.mans.land,
Then searched for help in every cline,
For peace had fed from my dwelling now,
TIL finally thonght of old Father Time,
And low before him Imade my bow,
"Wilt thou deliver me out OF his hand,
This bald'headed tyrant from No-mans.land?"
Old Time he looked with puzzled stare,
And smile came over his features grim,
IN take the tyrant under my care;
Watch what my hour.glass does to him,
The veriest humbug that ever was planned
Is this same baldhead from Noman's.land"
Old Time Is doing his work full we'll
Much less Of might does this tyrant WELD;
But ahI with sorrow my heart will swell
And sad tears fall as see him yield.
Could stay the touch of that shrveled hand
would keep the bald-head from No mans-land
For the loss of Peace have ceased to care;
Like other vassals, I've learned forsooth,
To love the wretch who forgot his hair
And hurried along without tooth,
And he rules me too with his tiny hand,
This bald-headed tyrant from No.man's land
