AN ARIZONA SANpSTORM

By U. Nohoo. Advancing through the Dragoon
 passes, The bowling sandstorm scourge, sur
 passes An army's battlefront, in masses. The line appears, while fast advanc-
 ing, A multitude of horses. prancing: A thousand forms of life entrancing. A cruel hand. with lightning flashing, An angry voice, in thunder crashing, Now urges on the charges, clashing. For forty miles the onset surges, As a bay from a tide emerges, While plays the wind discordant
 dirges. The helpless town sleeps unsuspec,'
 ing,
 No sentinel it's peace protecting; No manager, defense directing. The scourge now dashes unresisted, Through streets and every crevics
 twisted, By legions from the Pit assisted. But when the greatest danger presses They-women lay aside their tresses And go to sleep in long white dresses Their chief concern: That darned ol, shutter ! Lets in the dirt" I hear them mutter | We didn't need more sanded butter.
