The lime dust from the magnificent
roads falls upon the stimulated roots OF
the eternal lawns and fertilizes them
the year round till the rich carpet
crowds the white toll road and checks
the trunks of the trees almost, as one
may say.
Where will you see such wonderful
Shorthorns, Such slender-legged, grace
full and high blooded horses, such elon-
gated men, such powerful native wines,
made from the clustering corn? Where
will you see such thrift among the
thrifty and such lack Of it among the
other people? Echo, after wiping off
her chin thoughtfully, answers, mo
where"
1t is here that we strike still another
pronunciation of the word "horse." 1t
has inspired me to write few stanzas
entitled "a New Pair Of Lines on the
Hoss." 1t reads as follows:
When the cowboy lights out DER the alkali
plain,
With skin full of rum and remorse,
You'll find him most always, in SUI or in rain,
Outside of what he terms a h0rrSe.
And up in New England, with abdomen blue,
The Puritan, ffeScoed with N IS,
Puts cod liver oil on his wagon so new
Ank tew il he bitches boss.
But here in Kentucky. where nature is kind
And netting is middling close,
You'll fnd the fair girls and elongated men
AdmirinC and loving h0cs.

Here met young Mr.. Beck, son OF
Senator Beck, and late President OF the
Senate of Wyoming. He presided when
revisited my old home year ago in
the young State where l was once
Justice of the peace and editor OF the
frolicsome but impecunious Boomerang.
1t was at Cheyenne last year, that /
said TO myself, II will see the new cali-
toll building and shake hands with Sec
rotary of State Medium, whose lawn
used to be the arena on which my cats
and Judge Browns used to settle past
differences"
As went into the assembly chamber
the gavel Of Speaker Downey fell with
a mellow thud and he announced that
on the floor of the House-a pioneer Of
the early days, crowned now with the
laurelS of a grateful people, bearing
modestly upon his highly emphasized
brow the wreath which he had so
bravely won in the face OF outrageous
fortune, now stood, and he took pleas
ure in saying to gentlemen and members
of the assembly that the regular order
of business would be suspended pend
irg motion to adjourn. The
member from Crook county
(Mr. Kellogg then rose and
with flood Of eloquence worthy OF
a better cause. welcomed the prodigal,
and after asking that the fatted NAV
erick by slain he moved that the house
do now adjourn in honor Of the occasion.
1t was an eloquent address, and placed
Mr.. Kellogg at the head OF the house as
an easy going and graceful speaker.
The senate had received the wink and
adjourned, so that in ten minutes an in
formal reception was in progress and
the legislative branch of the state gov
eminent of Wyoming had taken an
hours holiday, Just as it would if | had
been deceased member of that body.
1t was proud moment to get the eu-
logy and the obituary and yet be able
to eat breakfast the following day. No
one who has not Swelled up with par
donable pride over his own well worded
epitaph can fully appreciate the pleas
ure of such thing.
Kentucky is full of chivalry and other
wet groceries. / was asked to try some
of the other wet groceries. / took
creme de menthe. NY physician says
that there is mark OF brass knuckles on
one side of my face and an abrasion at
the base OF the skull that looks like the
work of a slunghot. keep as quiet as
YOU can, battle the face frequently in
arnica, apply pounded ice poultices to
the base of the skull and hereafter In
Kentucky remember that you take
whisky or pass through the State at
night" Those are his words as re-
member them dimly at this writing.
Yesterday l received a pitiful letter
from Mrs. Bartholomew Tidd. OF Per-
Gale, o. She addressed me st Mount
Sterling, KY, and writes as follows:
"You can do me great service while
in Kentucky by making inquiries for
my husband, Bartholomew Tidds OF this
place. who left home for Lexington
over six weeks ago intending 70 open 8
Kelley bichloride OF gold institute in
Kentucky. His family fear that he has
been incsutious, perhaps, and met with
foul play. Oh, sir, be kind enough TO
INQUIRE, and If death has really been his
portion will you help me get track of
his remains before they become unde-
sirable?'
hadn't the heart TO look for Bar
sholonew after read that he had start
ed in here to build Kelley instieute.
