to the poisoning Of DR.. Hayworth, son-ll'-
law of w. E. Hale, st. Paul lawyer, who
in the early stages Of the case was one OF
Harry's attorneys and Withdrew from II
because he was convinced OF Harry's
guilt from his own admissions. 1t was
stated that Harry said shortly before his
execution that Mrs. Haywor6h was the
only woman he ever loved and that. Tor
his love of her he poisoned her husband
It is not necessary to go into the details

ITS secret the sailors could not understand,
But they called the country Sunshine Land.

It will make yousmile when once you know
Touched by the tender finger of spring,
a million blossoms were all Hglow;
So many, so many. so small and bright,
They covered the hills with a mantle of light,
And the wild bee hummed and the glad breeze

Through the honeyed fields of Sunshine Land.

OF many small joys our pleasures are made;
More near than we t~hink-very close Mt hand

sAAH MEL RED SHIRT.
indian Chief Took His Hand as That of a
Fellow Sovereign.

During the visit of the shah to Europe
in 1889" says an American who was in
Paris at the time, IAN interesting meeting
took place between him and another ruler,
the Indian Red Shirt, who was travelling
with Colonel Cody's Wild West show. 1t
was a curious spectacle, that of the
SHADOW of God, the absolute autocrat of
millions, the descendant of Cyrus, and the
rough warrior from the west, in his way
just as powerful a ruler.
1.-THE shah was present at Buffalo Bits
performance, and when it was over wished
to look round the cncampmoll. Red Shirt
was in his tent and was presented to the
Persian monarch. To the ~latter's aston
ishment he held out his hand as though to
an equal. The shah hesitatcd, but the in
terpretcr whispered, He is a king and he
took the Indians hand and shook it. He
evidently was immensely amused and in
terested, and it is doubtful if anything he
saw in Europe impressed him as much as
this old, dignificd warrior, with his fcath-
ers and his primitive surroundings. He
was as much of u curiosity to the shah as
the shah was to Europeans.
"Thc many stories of the shah's pauche-
rics and dirty habits are greatly xaggcr-
ated. He bore himself with dignity and
looked exactly what he was-a man who
did not know what it meant to have an
ungratificd desire. One circumstance,
however, was significant. When leaving
the exhibition, the shah had to pass through
NJ immense multitude of people who had
collected to see him. Those near enough
could see on his face "A momentary express
sion of fear. His eyes glanced apprchcn-
sivcly round, and possibly even then some
premOnitiOn of his fate was with him.
1.-The shah when i'm Europe invariably
wore the same costume at every function
AN ordinary black frock coat with epau-
lets and the typical hcaddress, with a star
of priceless jewels. Another t a was on
his heart, and the value of the gems in

THE FRONTIERsMAN,s RIFLE.
Accuracy Claimed For Old Time Weapons
and the Men who Used Them.

An old time plainsman writes TO Shoot
ing and Fishing about the good points Of
the old style rifle. The modern rinemcn do
not appreciate the possibilities of the old
fashioned arms of the kind Daniel Boone
thought perfect. There was no such phrase
for the frOnriersman as accurate enough
for hunting, ~ which is common these davs.
A rifle which a fronticrsman owned had to
be one he could bet his life on and win. 1t
must be, above all, accurate. If it was
aimed at a candle wick, it must not hit the
candle. If aimed at a mans heart. it had
to hit 1t and not an arm or ear. Up to POO
yards the accuracy of the old weapon, the
pea rifle, has not been excelled, and few
modern rifles equal it.
In these days OF pump guns which throw
bar lead out Of the muzzle and brass pipe
out of the breach accuracy is thrown to the
winds. If the first shot misses, why, "A sec
onu later another Is ready. Not so with
the muzzle loader. The game was in sight
for just one shot and no more. If that shot
was not fatal, more game must be searched
for. Knowing this, the old time hunters
drew down and shot for meat. They did
not pull when the sights We're in line with
a leg or the paunch. When they pulled the
set trigger, the sights were in line with the

freak, and even today the shotgun users
respect the man who Uses IA rifle for shoot

Kills En- Quick to him, not just my
rifle. He said, Me and Bcss got IA deer

This is essentially a shotgun age. \

THE PoEslA or RAPHAEL.

not as Raphael knew her have we known
The queen of song in such a blissful mood
Nor with such calm divinity endued,
But as another youth her soul has shown,
The youth who voiced our sufferings in his
own
And lived with his lifc's love at deadly feud;
Half a stormcloud and half an eagle meyved,
He saw no seraphs lowering round her throne.
His was no muse that sat Indifferent
To the dim worlds beneath her ~iaultless feet.
The muse Of Mussct was an angel sent
To pluck all anguish out of all the year,
To maketho promises Of May more sweet
And waken hope when autumn leaves lie scar.
