THE BACHELOR.
published by request.


Behold the bachelor, His hair
That once was brown is gray;
No laughing loved ones claim him
Nor charm his woes away.
He has himself alone to please,
No others fingers search
The pockets in his clothes, and he's
Near dragged away to church.
"Ah, poor old mani" hear you say;
Somewhere the grass grows DER
Some one to whom his heart today
Turns sadly as of yore.
He merely fingers here as one
Who is transient guest;
His joys are fled, his work is done,
He longs to be at rest
He longs to bid the world adieu,
To cross the river where
He is to meet the loved one who
Is waiting for him there
All, WE'LL Perhaps it's so;
He may have loved and lost;
His breast may be the haunt of woe,
His soul be tempest tossed;
But though his heart is buried deep
Below some slanting stone
Where some one long has lain asleep
If he could be alone
For just about an hour or two
With just the one. I'll bet
He'd fire up and learn to do
Some fancy stepping yet.

LAST BIG BUFFALO BULL.
Story Of the Killing of the Last Mon
arch of the PraiTies.
Chicago News.

The following account of the killing
of the last big buffalo bull appears in
the Macleod Gazette in the form of a
letter signed Wyoming Biz:
Early IN November, 1885,, John Nolan
and other half-breeds were near the
forks of the Red Deer and South Sas-
katchewan when they came across n
bunch of eleven buffalo. one of the
bunch being q very large bull.
They killed the big bull, two COWS
and a calf and brought them into
Swift Current. J. Grant got the head
of the bull and Curry Bros. got the
two cows heads and hide and the calf.
No doubt afterward the half breeds
cleaned out the rest Of the bunch. for
they were never heard of again.
Hine Of Winnipeg mounted the bulls
head and in 1888 it was loaned 60 the
government and was sent TO the
Worlds fair at Chicago, where il was
much admired.

= AVANNAH. NO. March l4.-E. E
y Norris. the St. Joseph saloon
keeper who disappeared few
days ago, appeared today when the
trial of Stewart Fife for the murder
of Frank ". Richardson was resumed
and gave damaging testimony against
the defendant.
Norris was found last night by de-
tectives at Lake Contrary, near here
When he was called to the stand today
he admitted having been IN hiding
Norris, in answer 20 questions, admit
ted having known Fife, who, he SAID,
had visited his saloon frequently. he
had been in his saloon about Dec. l.
1900, a month before Richardson was
killed.
What did he say about Mr. Richard
son?"
He was pretty drunk" said Norris.
He talked to me about the trouble
he was having with Richardson. Fife
told me that Richardson had abused
him before the other clerks. He said
Richardson told him If this is not
stopped I viii kill you Fife told me
that he intended to protect himself,
even if he had to kill Richardson.
WAS Richardson jealous of Fife and
his wife?''
Fife did not come right out and say
so. He said if anything happened be-
fore the first Of the year I need not
be surprised"
Norris said Fife showed him re-
vOlver when he said he was going to
protect himself if Richardson abused
him again.
At every question asked Of Norris
the defendants attorney objected. His
evidence. it developed, was wholly un-
like that given before the first grand
jury. The jury was sent out and Nor
ris was examined and crOss-examined.
Norris explained the discrepancy by
saying that he was drunk when he
testified before the first grand jury and
that he had been drinking some when
he went before the last grand jury.
