A BOGUS DRAMA Al fRrsco.
How Two Frisky Cow Punehers Halted .
Railway Train.

The sensational Wild West show given
by some southern Utah COW punohers for
the edidcat!cu of eastern tourists calls to
mind little trick that was perpetrated ON
some other auileless travellers by couple
of salt Lakers "a summer or two ago.
Mortimer Allen and Albert Allen-no re-
lation-were on hunting trip in the
wids of Wyoming. Their wickiup was In
u picturesque little spot near Blacks
Fork, where deer and antelope grazed and
where no white man save an old trapper
had come TO mar the natural beauty or
| disturb the dumb inhabitants.
About once "A week the young men rode
over To Piedmont, the nearest railroad sta
ton, for crackers and cheese and mail
and anything else that was handy.
One afternoon they had reached cross
ing on the track where the train slows up
on account of the curve They heard it
coming I'm the distance and quickly formed
plan. Riding away from the track, they
awaited the coming of the train, and as
soon as it was in sight they began gesticu-
lating wildly, cursing and shaking their
fists at one another. Their garb was very
characteristic, though common on the
ranges-hlue flannel shirt, "a worn SOM
brero, overals, schapps, etc., while AL AL
len wore brace of pistols. Their faces
were tanned and carried a scattered week s
growth of WHISPERING, and, all in all, they
looked as tough as campers do OF course
they attracted attention, and window room
on that side of the car seemed to be at
premium.
Finally Mort lifted his arm and brought
quirt down across AIS back, assuming
as he did SO terrible expression. Bang,
bang went IA couple of shots. Mort drop
ped TO the road, the murderer" put spurs
TO his horse and was soon lost in a cloud
of dust A hundred cries of "Help"
Road agent" "Murder!" came from the
oar windows, while the engineer stopped
the train.
Most of the men jumped off, and, headed
10y the conductor, ran toward the PROSTATE
man. Mort lay on his side and watched
them until they were within 90 yards of
him, then jumped in the saddle, ana, way
ing his hat, rode swiftly away toward the
setting sun.-Salt Lake Tribune

BARRY THE ST. BERNARD.
The Most Noted Dog That Lived and Died
In the Service of the Monks.


In the Service of the Monks.
The hospitality and untiring humanity
Of the monks of the convent of ST. Bernard
have long been famous, and the fidelity
and sagacity of their we'll known breed of
dogs, kept by them to assist them in their
labors have long been equally celebrated.
The most noted of all the dogs that have
lived and striven and died In the service of
the monks was named Barry This faith
full creature served the hospice for the Pc
Rod of IL years, and during that time he
saved the lives of no less than 40 persons.
His zeal was unconquerable 1t was his
custom after n heavy fall Of snow TO set
out by himself in search of lost travellers.
He would run along, barking at the top
of his lungs, until he was entirely out of
breath, when he would often fall over in
the snow from sheer exhaustion.
No place was too perilous for him to
venture into, and when he found, as he
sometimes did, that his own strength was
insufficient to draw from the snow tray
eler benumbed by the cold, he would i'm
mediately hurry of TO the hospice TO fetch
the monks
One day Barry found Child frozen APP
parently to death between tho bridge of
Dronaz and the icehouse of Balsora He
began at once to lick him, and having sue
coedcd by this means in restoring ANNA
ton he induced the child to tie himself to
his body In this way be managed to car
ry the poor little wretch to the hospico.
When no became too old TO Get about.
the prior of the convent, by way of re-
ward, pensioned him at Berney, and after
his death his skin was stuffed and placed
in the museum Of that town, where. it is
still preserved.
The little flask in which he carried
brandy for the relief Of travellers whom he
found exhausted in the snow on the noun
tains is still suspended from his neck

THREE SENSES.

We're all things ever hidden from my sight,
Did life stand helpless in unchanging night,
Methinks mine eyes would quicken could
herr
Your gentle voice and know that yen were
near.
We're the world silent, soundless all the sea,
No note of song in any bird for me,
Seeing your beauty, through my soul would
ring
The music of tie songs that lovers sing.
And could speak not, were my lips denied
Their lordly right to chant love deified,
My very blood would praise God and rejoice
For sake OF your sweet face and gentle voice.

A FRANCHISE ASKER.
Confronted at Each Door by "A Woman
Who owned Three Houses.

"What business are you i'm nowf" asked
one man of another yesterday on Sixth

"This was my chance TO show my skill
and diplomacy. l thought she would be

hardly waited for me TO ask her consent

act counterpart of the one next door

fact that believed l had seen her before.
No, IA thousand times, nor came her

Verdl,s Mysterious Roy.

Verdi Is reported to have given his
friend Boito small box, locked and
sealed, with the strict injunction that il
was not to be opened until after the com
poser's death. There are all sorts of
guesses about its contents in the italian
papers The general belief is that the box
contains the completed score of Verdi's
long promised Sbakespearean opera" but
there Is difference of opinion as TO the
play which Verdi has chosen. Will this
posthumous work turn out to be the
king Lear" which Verdi once had in
contemplation, or will it be the "Tem.
pest, which he has also planned to con-
vert into an operaS Possibly it may be no
opera at all.-Westminster Gazette
