Liie's Changes.
BY W. E. G.

Dl W. H. u
am thinking, sadly thinking
OF the changes time may bring,
How the spring time of our friendship
Soon may feel its bitter sting.
Something now unknown may part us,
And the face | love to see
May be turned in anger from me,
VIII you then remember me?
The hand whose touch has oft-timcs thrill
ed me
With an ecstasy of joy,
Time may cause to be held from me,
And my cherished hopes destroy.
The eye, whose glance my soul enraptures
Causing oil my pain to flee,
Soon may cease to look with brightness,
Will you then remember me?
The voice whose tones to me are sweeter
Than the song of birds can be,
May be hushed and l. unhappy,
Sigh and long in vain for thee.
The gentle words in counsel given,
Words which time shall prove to be
A help to fit my soul for Heaven,
Dearest friend, remember me.
Soon other lips and other hearts
Their tales of love may tell,
In language whose excess imparts
The power they feel so we'll
When fairer suitors seek thy hand,
Upon their Blended knee,
Remember that my heart is yours;
In love, remember me.
But changes may bring pleasure too,
And all things may be well,
For if your heart to mine is true,
Twill all the clouds dispel
And happy through this world Wen go,
Choosing the better part,
And leaving all things here below,
March upward heart in heart.

A FRIENDLY DoG.-A Radnorshire lady,
who was married in March and came to
reside in Yorkshire, recently paid visit
to her father, who, before she was married,
had kept two or three sheep-dogs, of which
she was very fond. Since then he has re-
tired from business and disposed of all but
one dog. This one met the lady with
demonstrations of great delight upon her
arrival at her fathers house, and that night
the dog went distance of seven miles to
farmhouse where one of the dogs had
been sent 0he latter was blind, but kept
as being an old favorite.) In the morning
when the lady went to the door, she not
only saw the dog which had given her
such grand reception the day previously,
but also the old blind one, which had evil
IDENTIFY been brought by the other dog to
welcome her. When the second night
came, the old blind dog was taken back
to its home by the same dog, which after
ward returned, having travelled distance
of twenty eight miles to give pleasure to
his blind friend.

A HARD WINTER ON THE PLAINS
stock men on the Laramie Plains have
passed through the hardest winter known
since the settlement of that country. The
basin, which is bounded on the northeast
by the Black Hills, on the southeast Inv
the main range of the Rockies, and on the
southwest by the Wasatch mountains, has
long been regarded as one of the richest
pasture regions of the continent. The
grass OF the numerous valleys is so nutri.
nous and the range so wide that stock or.
dlnarll live the year round without hay
or grain. The present winter, however,
has been remarkably severe. The snow
covers the Whose valley to the depth of
two feet, and in some places it is three feet
deep. Cattle are dying by thousands from
exposure and starvation, and the sheep are
not much better off. They have sense
enough to paw the snow away with their
feet and get down to the bunch grass. and
so manage to pick up living. The horn
ed cattle standing in the snow belly deep.
make no extertion to help themselves.
Stock owners have prospected for hun
dreds of miles to the north and south for
open pasture, but the snow holds the en-
tire valley in its embrace Hay shipped
from the East or West would cost as much
for transportation as the cattle are worth,
so nothing can be done but wait
till sunshine or showers dissolve the snow.
1t is estimated that there are two hundred
thousand head of cattle, four hundred
thousand head of sheep, and about fifty
thousand horses in the section of Wyom-
ing Territory above described About fifty
thousand head Of cattle were driven from
Montana to winter on the Laramie Plains.

Governor Fairbanks, Prison Director C.
NJ. Spaulding, DR.. Furness and Superin-
tendent Spencer visited the State prison
Monday. and spent some time in an inter
view with Phair.
An authorized statement of Gov. Fair
banks position in the case has been publish
ed, form which VIC extract the following:
The action of Governor Fairbanks in
granting the second reprieve, Is consistent
with his views of the power vested in the
Executive by the constitution as stated in
his letter to Phair, denying his application
TOR reprieve, which 1t will be remembered
were substantially as follows that this
power of pardon and reprleve was not
lodged in the Executive to be exercised ca
priciously, but only upon good and Sub
stantial ground to override the court
and defeat the ends of justice, but only in
furtheranee of those ends.
Phair's case as now presented, seems II
come clearly within that class of cases in
which executive interference is not only
justiiied, but is demanded 1t is not neces-
sarv that Phair'S innocence shall be estab-
lished-it is sufficient if reasonable doubt
be raised as to his guilt This is the test to
applied by the supreme court in granting or
denying the application for new trial.
The newly discovered evidence is such. if it
can stand the scrutiny of judicial investiga-
ton as to raise such doubt.
Whether this new evidence will stlnd the
test of thorough judicial investigation. re
mains to be seen. If Downing's statement
is true it seems inconsistent with the claim
that Phair and f. F. Smith are the same
person. Phair did not haze the benefit OF
the evidence on his trial. IL seems to raise
q reasonable doubt as to his guilt. One
would not willingly deny the Condemned
man the benefit of this doubt This is the
view taken by Gov. Fairbanks and for this
reason he has granted reprieve. that the
courts, the only tribunal where the matter
can be properly determined, may finally dis
nose of it
