Hard on the Muse. Ihave a little woman
 In other words, Q wife Who is the ruling spirit
 Of my eventful life; At eve when homo returning She greets me with kiss, Which sends through all my being A gentle thrill of bliss. She's dark-eyed, plump and saucy, But winning as can be, The which to prove I'll "fess up'' She gets the best of me; And when 1t comes to scheminR, Her equals hard to find She always gains the object On which she sets her mind. In short, if you'll believe mo, This little wife of mine Is just the biggest tyrant That ever drew the line; When would mount Pegasus And soar in thought away, She always interposes
 And will not let me strny. Sometimes, by clever schoming, 1get her on to bed, And, when think she's sleeping, With soft and stealthy tread seek my pen and paper To ventilnte my views, Or else in sportive spirit
 To monkey with my muse. But ahI seldom manage To terminate 8 plot Before my precious tyrant Is promptly on the spot; And when she bids me sdron itp Ihasten to obey, For we'll know my lady Will never brook delay. There never was poet
 Who had 8 harder time Than had your humble servant In making up this rhyme; Full twenty times since starting I've had to pause and choose Between my two adored ones My tyrant and my muse.

According to the report Of the phazma-
cy association. made to Governor Warren
by Secretary Ttoxell. the number Of reg
istered pharmacists in the territory is
given at forty-six. Thirty have taken out
the annual renewals IS prescribed by law.
Considerable difficulty is experienced by
the board in enforcing the law on account
of lack of funds. A prosecution was in
stituted against H. w. Rath. an Evans
ton druggist. who p~ersistently refused to
take cogniEance of the statutes. The case
was promptly thrown out of a Justice court
and Rath is still continually defying the
law.
The commission asks for $500 . year
with which to conduct actions against Of
tenders, and requests enactment of .
clause which shall insure the proper and
dilisent co operation of county officers in
such cases as they may bring, looking to
enforcement of the pharmacy laws.

financial condition Of the board. The

that OF course the animals are closely

A herd of buffalo tallying perhaps
thirty head ranges on Red Desert, north
of Rawlins. On account Of the nature of
the country their capture Is extremely
difficult. but this does not discourage
hunters. whose persissensy comes OF mer-
ceuary and sportive motives combined.
Last summer a party Of ranchmen and
COWBOYS succeeded in roping six head of
buffalo. aud inside OF twenty-four houn
we're offered $500 each for the animals

In a conversation on this subiict yester-
day Governor Warren said the matter
would receive his attention and intimated
that he would, in his message suggest the
enactment Of a law prohibiting the killing
of buffalo and furnishing the violaters
heavily.
The wanton slaughter of game In
Southern Carbon county has also been
brought to the attention Of the governor.
The hunters operate on a big scale and
regularly make large shipments from
Rawlins. At the Carbon county seat it
is represented that the game is killed in
Colorado. but when the meat reaches

of the ardent and who was therefore feeling quite
jolly, got on at Canal street. AS the car was well
crowded, he was compelled to stand up which he
did gracefully enough, holding on TO a strap with
both hands, while he cracked jokes and told funny
stories, keeping the passengers in excellent humor
with his droll and witty remarks.

"people moving out, and others moving in, all

There he sat, his head thrown back, his mouth
wide open and snoring like fog horn, much to
the mirth of his fellow passengers. Presently
however, he seemed to have choked then came a

MISPLACED CLAUSES.

"Dr. William S. Hammond delivered very inter-
esting lecture last night on Railway Accidents
at the Georgetown Medical college, Paragraph
ia Washington newspaper.
This should be looked after. Why should
Georgetown college be 30 dangerous placer Rail-
road accidents likely to occur at any place but
why should they be so frequent at Georgetown
college. The writer doubtless meant to say dec
tured at Georgetown college last night on railway
accidents"
The Boston Globe, in q "Robert Elsmere" edito-
RIAL says ale leaves his flock abruptly, leaves the
institutions which he has built up in unfinished
condition" This is a very bad sentence, especially
bad 9 Boston sentence. The writer doubtless
intended to say: ale abruptly leaves his flock,
leaves, in unfinished condition, the Institutions
which he had built up." Careful writers do not
misplace their clauses.
