THE HoMESTEADER USED HIS GUN

DENVER, Col, June 20.-There has been
for several years past much feeling be-
tween the Republican cattle company and
the private owners of land and stock in
their vicinity in Arapahoe county, and
trouble has been prevented only by the
vigilance of the officers. Yesterday, how
ever. Fred Munsinger, a homesteader, went
TO Kingston. and on his return found that
his fences had been torn down and his cat
tie were running at large. Taking a
Winchester rifle, he started to roundup
his stock. In doing so he met Bill Allen
the foreman and William Ireland, one of
the proprietors of the company, who were
also armed with Winchester rifles Hot
words ensued and finally Allen and Ire
land made movement TO release their
guns, but Munsinger fired first, shooting
Allen through the right eye, killing him
instantly. Ireland fired several shots
without effect and before he could get to a
safe distance Munsinger succeeded in ia
tally wounding him. Munsinger came
here and gave himself

Thrilling Oriental Dental Operation

According to the latest intelligence
from Teheran, there has been the great
est CONSERVATION prevailing at the Per-
sian court because the Shah had been
suffering from the toothache. An east
ern potentate whose feelings are ruffled
by things going wrong, whether in the
harem or the treasury, or with the dinner
or his majesty's instruments OF mastica-
ton, is only too apt to relieve his feel
ings by making an example of some great
functionary, and ordering the instant
decapitation of the grand eunuch or the
Minister of Finance, or by having the
cook and scullions soundly tastinadoed.
In the present case, when the Shah had
made up his mind to have the tooth out,
and His Majesty's dentist was sent for,
the members of the court assembled
round the throne in state of fear and
trembling bordering On frenzy. What
the consequence might be in the event
of the operator drawing the
tooth proving nervous or unskil-
full, did not bear contemplation.
Ali present, however, had had the FORE
sight to provide themselves with what
experience udu Suomu W uo Ino huoo'
effective means ofappeasing his majesty's
wrath; and when the Shah mounted the
throne in order to undergo the opera
ton, the dignitaries one and all ap.
preached his feet. and, with a deep
obeisance, each of them deposited there
a bag of gold. The court dentist was
now commanded to approach the royal
presence and perform his task. With
astonishing rapidity and dexterity he
armed himself with aformidable-looking
instrument, and placing it between his
Ma;esty's jaws, instantly produced the
unsound grinder from the royal mouth,
not without extracting from the same
source an involuntary shrek which
struck terror into every heart. An in
slant afterward, however, to- the i'm
mense relief of the court, it was clear
that all was we'll. The operator was
rewarded with one of the bags of gold,
while his Majesty, who deigned to
accept the rest of the pile, conferred on
his principal favorite the unprecedented
distinction of making him or her the
envied possessor of the royal molar. -

Her Father sent her In His land to dwell,
Giving to her work that must be done;

Therefore she, too, cares for them, every
Thus when she stoops to lift from want and

She walks erect tbro' dangers manifold
While many sink and fall on either hand.
She heeds not summers heat nor winters
cold,
For both are subject To the Kings COM

She need not be afraid Of anything
Because she is the daughter Of the King!

And name with terror-it appalls not her,

Her heart rejoices that her Father calls
Her back to live within the palace walls.

Declining Years,

Let no one say that, "having fulfilled my
earthly mi, sion, it were better to depart"
Waitl Do not abridge thy mission, Q man
or woman Of Godl the less experienced need
thy counsels of wisdom. The traveller, who
has journeyed safely along the precipice
down whose giddy sleeps so many thousand
have fallen, may be able to give many valu-
able suggestions to other tourists.
In an age Of wondrous activities, it Is OF no
small value to live in such presence. 1t is
a work Of advanced civilization to venerate
the character and honor the teachings Of
hoary age. 1t is circumstance most favor
able to the stability and glory Of civil gov
ernment to make ripe experience, rather
than immature judgment, the controlling
power in legislation. He who has grown to
manhood without the wise counsels of long
experience, has lost that which neither the
knowledge nor treasure Of after years can
supply.
This Is true, in the highest sense, when
these counsels are regulated by the principles
and sanct flying grace OF the gospel The
aged pilgrim, bending beneath the weight OF
years, yet pressing toward the mark Of his
high calling, is a royal parsonage among
men. His hoary locks are woven into a
crown more kingly than glittering diadems
"a crown Of glory, the sign Of manly en-
deavor in many conflict, Of virtue in its
supremacy, Of wisdom enriched by the years
Of discipline and observation.
