compan!onship.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and 60.
They want full measure Of all yourpleasure,
But do not need your woe.
Be glad. and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink LIES gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls Of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles Of pain.

David Lovely arrived in Laredo last night
from his sheep ranches in Dimmitt Coun-

the coolest blooded triple tragedies ever
known on this frontier
Last week eight Americans, armed TO
the teeth, rode up to one OF Lovely's
sheep camps, and asked the Mexican in
charge, named Flores, to guide them to
a certain point in that section. Flores
readily complied. As the party
rode away, Flores overlook one of his
shepherds, whom he directed to kill a
couple of goats, and prepare good sup
per for the party, saying they would re-
turn in the evening. The shepherd did
as directed, ana five of the Americans
returned at shutdown, partoOk of sup
per. and then rode to neighboring
sheep camp, two miles away, and forci-
bly, carried away the three Mexican herd
ers. The American bandits then mys-
teriously disappeared.
Friday last Captain Lovely instituted
search for his missing herders, and
found their three bodies hanging in a Sc
cluded thicket some miles distant Nc
reason is known for this terrible butch
ery. The Mexicans had been In the en-
ploy of Lovely for number of years, and
