Evidently the men in the wool-grow "
ing counties did the voting and the
sheep attended to their proper business
of cropping grass. The farmers who
grow wool have learned, what most
Of them probably knew before, thai
their prosperity is not dependent on
the present duty upon woods they do
not raise. The "baaing" of Columbus
Delano's political sheep will hereafter

Toasting the American Bangs.
BY w. II. MOBLEY,

Here's to the bangs OF American girlsl
Whether In rInglets. in clusters, or curIs.
They take you by storm with bewitching
grace
AS they sway DER the brow of some saucy
young face.
Each bang has character all TO itself,
Which n full oi its mischief as any CAV elf:
some blow with grace that is piquant and
naughty,
Others are proud some delightfully naughty =.
Some try to irOwn you right out of VIM
shoes,
While others are hristling with gossipy news.
But, taken together with the rest OF the feat :
ures
or the weakest yet strongest OF all Gods
creatures,
rhey add great deal to The looks of girl.
ANA happy Is she who can get them TO curl
without twisting Them up IN lot of old paEers.
(for II not fixed right they are sure TO cut
capersl.
so Join in our chorus, and for the bang,
shout.
May the fashion which brought them IN never
go out!

Turning to another class OF wool
growing counties, those having less
than 100000 and more than 10000
sheep, we find there are sixteen, with

These counties are mostly IN the center
of the state, a few being nearer the
border east, west and north. Twelve
OF the sixteen were and are republican
and the other four democratic. In
1887 the sixteen gave a net republican
plurality of 6,6SS, and last Tuesday the
net republican plurality was 4 500, q
republican loss of 1902. Here Is the

The Desert Life.

God pity the heart untouched by tears:
GOD pity the eyes That are never wet
Bv the sight of another's woes or fears.
by the scent of rose or m!gnonette-
Tender and faint as song that smote
The gates of heav'n from thrush's throat.
Yet strong enough to bear and float
heavy soul DER the vanished wears
70 some dear memory above it set
The immortelles of vain regret
10 some small grove, by which we know
The sad. sweet peace of death and woe.
God pity ibe life that is HIihered and dry
from frozen heart and desert eye.

DOOMED TO DISAPPOINTMENT EVER.
Tragic End of Billy Murphy, Who Got the
Worst of 1t in Both Love and War;

DENVER, Sept. 6.-At an early hour this
morning Timothy Stocking. faro-dealer in
the Arcade gambling hall. shot and in
from the Joliet ull) penitentiary. The
story leading up to the murder is some
thing of a romance. In 1888 Miss Williams,
q beautiful young girl, went to Chicago
from small town in Wisconsin to visit
friends. Shortly after her arrival she met
Billy Murphy. a plumber. who fell madly
in love. The lady did not return his atten-
tions, and soon afterward met and married
Timothy Stocking, a member of Pink
erton's force. Murphy took to drink,
and a couple of months after
the wedding vas caught attempting TO
burglarlze residence, and was sentenced
to hve years imprisonment, Stocking being
the principal witness for the prosecution.
Murphy swore he would kill both Stocking
and his wife as soon as he could gain his
liberty. After his release he followed the
couple oyer the country, finally locating
months ago, and. meeting Mrs. Stocking on
the street. nearly frightened her to death
by his threats OF violence against herself
and husband, Stocking. however. ap-
peared TO pay but little attention to the
threats, and laughed at them whenever
his wife spoke about the matter. The po-
lice had been notified of the state of
affairs, and had repeatedly driven
Murphy from Stockings premises,
where he had been found skulking
around at all hours of the night. About 1
o'clock this morning Stocking was awak-
ened by some one knocking at his front
door, and going out tothe entrance he asked
who was there. and being informed that it
was Billy Murphy. Stocking looked be-
tween the blinds and saw the man with a
huge knife. Stocking picked up q shot
gun and fred its contents into Mnrphy's
face and neck, literally tearing them to
and fell ON the sidewalk corpse. Stock
ing was arrested and locked up in the Cen
trail station. The deceased has father
living on Blue Island avenue. Chicago, and
cousin and brother in the same city. all OF
citizens.
