How Some Fasteners Regard Us.

How Some Fasteners Regard Us.
They wear their breeches in their boots
Out West,
Their jewelry's the sort that shoots,
Out West,
The men are toughs with fighting sand,
The women holy terrors, and
The girls are fresh to beat the band,
There's lightning in the booze they drink
Out West,
The friendly glass they never clink,
Out West,
They fill it till it overhows
And raise it up beneath the nose,
And say, Here's how" and down she
Out West.
The preachers get their Sunday "tips,"
Out West,
In faro bank and poker chips,
Out West,
And Monday round the games they trot
And cash in the collection pot,
And buck the tiger, like as not,
Out West.
The maldens all wear cowboy hats,
Out West,
And wear no corsets on their Stats,
Out West,
And when lover seems to feel
Too shy to make the sweet appeal.
They pull gun and make him squeal,
Out West.
The women vote the same as men,
Out West,
Preach politics with voice and pen,
Out West,
And il husband makes a play
To take that sacred right away
He grows baldheaded in day,
Out West.
And yet we love those ratty cranks,
Out West,
We get the gold to fill our banks,
Out West,
They dig it up in every yard,
And that is why we try 50 hard
To hold them in our high regard,
Out West.

Our Happy Home in Ideal Canada

The independent received an
interesting poem written by two
former Minot boys who are now
doing time on one OF King Ed
wards claims near Rouleau,
ASA. As the poets have written
from experience, it might be we'll
for those contemplating leaving
our paradise, to scan these
words:
Out on a lone prairie
Stands a house with q DESC
late look;
And winding round this shanty,
Runs the muddy Moosejaw
brook.
At night when the stars are
shining,
And the moon is hid in a
cloud,
You can hear the coyotes howl
ing,
And they howl mighty bloom
ing loud.
But just ere the coyotes their
concert commence,
And the night settles down,
in it's darkness so dense,
The mosquitoes come round and
their small bills present
Which makes a man wish all
his money was spent.
Our looking glass is broken,
Our comb is broken too,
And the windows have no glass
Which let's the rain beat
through.
The sugar bowl is empty,
The pickle jar is cracked,
The vinegarjar is broken
And the tea is all gone from
the sack.
OF pipes we have a plenty
But of tobacco we are shy;
And the cupboard it is empty,
And so are Mark and |.
Now dear friends, back in Dako-
ta,-
("Tis the land we love SO
well, -
Weare coming back there to you
Coming from this northern
H.
Yours truly,
AL Woolverton and
Mark BOmboy.

Of this character and 1t appears as II
Italy will also refrain from carrying
out her decision to dispatch warshps
To Turkey as the Italian embassy says
no report of their departure has yet
been received. This is taken by the
embassy to indicate that there have
been developments making the step
inadvisable or unnecessary at the
present moment, perhaps due to the
Turkish acceptance of the Russian de-
mands, which was confirmed at the
Turkish embassy.
The negotiations respecting Mace
donia are conducted on the Continent.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne and
most of the ambassadors being away
from London.
The diplomats point out that the
scheme for settlement Of the Mace
aonian question outlined by the lnde-
pendance Beige could not be approved
by the powers, as ii is evident Turkey
would never submit to a peaceful oc-
cupation OF the Bosphorus and the
Dardanelles a Turkish official said
this could only be done after fighting.
