Traders ranch. Sunday night the
team arrived at Traders home with

alarm and several parties immedi-

it is supposed, was caused by his

"'TIs LOVE THAT MAKES THE WORLD

A maiden and youth
Discovered for themselves anew
An old yet living truth;
For through their love these lovers

Twas love that made the world go

AS youths and maidens had before
A thousand years ago and more.
A thousand years from now, or more,
A youth will know the bliss
or gazing into eyes that fash
The love-light back to his;
And send the world for many day
A-spinning gayly on its way,
A-spinning faster than before,
Another thousand years, or more.
