LAS VEGAS BOY POET.
TWelve.Year-oid Harry Lenhart Writes
Verses Of Originality.

Las Vegas has a new poet in a ri
year-old boy by the name Of Harry
Everett Lenhart, who has recently
come here with his father and mother.
He halls from Indiana, the home Of
many Of our recent writer's OF litera-
ture, and, like them, he is not lacking
in original thinking and original ex-
preston.
Since he was ten years old he has
spent many of his leisure moments
in writing verse, much Of which shows
great individuality and boldness Of
%imiginatpn in a boy of his age
The young versfier has had no special
training or help and the talent which
he has developed is all his own
Like Walt Whitman's his meter il
not always conventional. but his iraag
cry is almost always clear cut AM
quite original.

1.-THE Barefoot Boy"
Heart as light as q feather in afr,
BrIgntsrosy cheeks, black fowing hair;
Nature teaches him what he learns.
Nature gives him all he earns.
Little Enough has he Of life.
Little thought has he Of the strife,
When older, moving the hay in the
fields,
Working, working TOR what it yields.
Of the flowers in spring, he says:
Under the ieecy blanket they slept
Out into the spring air they crept;
How beautiful this world Of ours,
The flowers a-bloom amidst the show
him to do.
A touch OF the hnmor Of his fellow
poet. Eugene Field, is seen in What
a boys mother don't want him 70
do
What a boys mother don't want him
to do
Is to not smoke tobacco and not to
chew:
Not to stay out late all night
And not to get in quarrels and fights.
That's what a boys mother don't
want his to do.
A boys mother don't want him u lte
or steal,
Not to keep bad company and never
to reel,
Not to hop the cars or the Wagons;
Not in his studies TO get a laggin',
That's what a boy,s mother don't
want him to do.
What a boys mother wants him 70
do.
To go to school and be good and true,
To wear a standing collar and brush
his hair,
To look neat and clean and dress with
care;
That's what a boys mother wants
him to do.

Most tramps are omnivor0us readers,

ing OF the real hobo, who is a wanderer
from choice and who would not work
if he had the chance. These fellows
are pretty wise, | can tell you. They
can tell you more about what is going
on in European politics than a college
professor can. and they know almost
everything that is coming off in u
own country for the next six months.

picking up the loose pages lying in

saw traces of a tramp's camp fire
around which there was not left one

had been cast aside after reading.
Then the tramps have a sort Of trav.

WHEAT KING TALKS
w. n. BABCOCk TELLS ABOUT
HIS BIG FARMS NEAR
TRINIDAD.
Eastern Farmers DESTROYS Of Purchas-

None for Sale.

w. H. Babcock, wheat king of Eu-
reka fiat and one Of the largest indi-
vidual land owners in the northwest
| is in Walla Walla today from Trinidad
| where he has made his headquarters
for some months experimenting the
sale of a large body of land he ac-
quired from the railroad company sew
eral years ago and looking after large
sheep and cattle interests he has re-
Gently engaged in.
I'VE are selling some land off and
on, Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had quite touch of winter up in
that section," Mr.. Babcock said this
morning. Il had an opportunity of
disposing of a large section of land to
eastern parties but we could not agree
on prices and I guess the deal is off. y
Mr.. BabcOck said that his sheep
and cattle interests are keeping him
quite busy. He has at present $4,000
head of sheep on the range and a large
number of head Of cattle. To supply
winter feed he is opening up a thou
sand acres of land to be irrigated and
planted to alfalfa. Water for one sec
ton is being pumped out of the Column
bia up on the highlands, a distance of
three miles. The water is raised to
an altitude of over a thousand feet.
Other fields will be irrigater by means
Of canals and bitches. 'Off the thous-
and acres [ will probably harvest
5000 tons of hay a year" he said
Along the river bank l estimate that
tons to the acre a season can be
cut but higher up the yield will prob
ably be cut down to three tons"
Mr.. Babcock expects to leave for
Trinidad this evening. His trip to
Walla Walla was made for the .pur-
pose of looking after business interests
here.
