C,Iffiniont IN arlneIa n herd.

I fetched wild rough rider yell
Sufficient to stampede herd,
An went round singin' fur a spell
AS gay as a canary bird.
My heart riz in my throat an blocked
The chute down to my appetite,
An when the dinner bugle squawked
l couldn't eat a cussed bite;
An In my dreams that night her face
Seemed floatin' round me every place.
When I got back the other day
An rode out to the ranch, got
Oneasy thinkin' of the way
The gal d meet me, fur 1 thought
The gulf atween us seemed to be
Too wide a one fur me to swing
1 but common cowboy, she
The daughter Of a cattle king;
An somethin' in me seemed to say
That | had better keep away.
I never will forgit how Kate
Grabbed both my hands! Two crystal
leaks
Come to her eyes to irrgate
The roses bloomin' in her cheeks.
Grabbed both my hands in hers, then
stopped
An looked into my sunbeat face
An made a suddint dive an dropped
A kiss onto its proper place,
An l, demented with her charms,
Corralled her in my big strong armsI
That gal is now a fiyin' roun'
Jest like a butterfly on wings;
She's got two wimmen cut from town
A sewin' on mysterious things;
An l was measured t'other day
Fur stylish clothes her good OF dad
Insistin' he was goin' to pay
Fur proper trappin's fur his lad.
An we have planned fur Christmas night
A weddin dance plum out O. sight!

A ROUGH RIDERS CAPTURE

Before I went away to war
| loved the little maverick,
But somehow seemed afraid of her,
She was so toney an so slick;
As plump IS any two-year-old
o. blooded stock l ever saw,
An worth ten times her weight in gold,
Without a blemish or flaw,
But, bein' the owners daughter she
Appeared too good fur sich as me.
tor her l was goin' to fight
Fur Uncle Sam, an hoped that I
Would do the job correct an right,
An half imagined that sigh
Was tryin' fur to quit her breast,
An in her eyes | thought | saw
A sadd!sh glimmer, an it jest
Sent my OF heart up in my craw,
An when she said gooGby l thought
Her voice was thick, but mebbe not.
Jest after that San Juan affair
l got letter wri. by Kate
That sent my heart off on a tear
That / could scarcely subiugate.
She said she'd read about the fight
An how US riders did the job;
An said that allus in her sight
I'd be hero, then said: "Bcb,

HIS NEAREST NEloHeoR.
The one who Made Trouble Wher-
ever He Moved.

An excellent and pertinent suggestion was
that once made by an old Quaker lady to
rrtmblinz man. The man had formerly
lived near the Qpakeress. and from has boy
hood had been in the habit Of finding fault
With hrs neighbors. their ways oil living,
Their speech and ideas.
He moved to another town and on his hrst
return to his birthplace called on hls
Quaker friend, who had to listen to cata-
logue Of the faults OF his new neighbors. she
spoke as soothingly as possible, but her
words produced no effect.
In the course Of FIVE years the mans bust
ness led him to make a second move, and on
his next visit to his native town the old
Quakeress was again favored with call;
How does thee like thy new home, WI
iiams" she asked.
'Oh. the towns all well enough" said the
man. in his usual complaining tone, but the
people are queer / can't get along with
them They're not what ] call good neigh
bors. I wish TO the land that | could find
somebody that was the kind TO live near. 1t
seems strange, with living in three places,
I've had bad luck in my neighbors every
time"
"William," said the old Quakeress, look
ing straight across at the moody face oppo-
site. II think the trouble may be partly
that wherever thee moves, one OF the neigh
bors move with thee. Why not leave him
behind the next time, or at least ask other
folks opinion of him before thee moves
again !'-Y Youths Companion.
