For Starving Sheep.

Judge A. L. Morrison recently wrote
to the secretary of the interior Of the
great distress of the owners of sheep
because drouth has caused scant pas
turage and the loss of many focks. He
conveyed the request of flock owners to
be permitted to take their sheep upon
the Pecos forest reserve for about three
months until the summer rains cause
grass to grow on the exhausted ranges.
Under date Of May 81 receipt of the
request is acknowledged by the secre-
tary's chief clerk, Edward M. Dawson,
with a statement that the matter has
been referred to the general land office.
Judge Morrison this afternoon pre-
pared a telegram to be sent to the gen.
eral land commissioner at Washington
urging him to make an immediate deci-
sion as the ranchmen are in urgent need
of pasture. The telegram was signed by
a number of influential citizens.
A telegram from the commissioner to
Judge Morrison states that there is
some objection to opening the reserve
and that the question will be decided in
a few days.

My Sweetheart ON the Ranch.

Oh, my sweetheart, she's a beauty and lives
on Circle X,
Her cheeks are just as rudy as a rose,
Her smiles are bright as sunshine and her
words can never yex
The lover, whose affection she well knows.
We have wandered in the canon, meath the
green and shady pine,
And drank from out the crystal mountain
stream,
A nectar draught more welcome than the
sweet Falerman wine,
That in the poets glass did often CLEAN.
We have picked from out the crevice of the
bare and barren rock
The blossoms we have looked on with de-
light,
And the little chipmunks running never gave
her nerves q shock, m
As they scampered DER the stones within
Oh my sweetheart, she's a daisy and rides her
broncho well,
And leads me oft a dashing, lively pace,
But astride a "puncher's' saddle nc danger
e'er befell
The girl, who shows her courage in her face.
And the rifle, that she handles, never misses
steady aim,
As the fieetlng elk and deer before her
know;
A shot. and all is over, and she sees the fallen
In all their pride and beauty lying low.
Oh, my sweetheart, am hoping, when the
Fates are good and kind,
When ranch of double B Obj Is all my own
I can claim the girl that suits both my fancy
heart and mind,
And be the happiest lad the world has
known. HAIRY ELL tRD.
