Lasca used to ride

..-. ASSCa uSSQ TO roe
On mouse-gray mustang close to my
side.
With blue serape and bright-belled spur;
l laughed with joy as looked at her!
Little knew she Of books or Of creeds-
An Ave Maria suficed her needs;
Little she cared, save to be by my side,
70 ride with me, and ever to ride,
FROM San Saba's shore to LavAca's tide.
she was as bold as the pillows that beat,
She was as wild as the breezes that blow,
From her little head to her little feet.
She was swayed in her suppleness to an
fro
BY each gust Of passion; a sapling pine,
That grows on the edge OF q Kansas
bluff,
And wars with the wind when the wealth
er is rough,
Is like this Lasca, this love Of mine.
She was alive in every limb
With a feeling, to the inger-tipsI
And when the sun 10 like a fire,
And sky one shining soft sapphire.
One does not drink in little sips,
Why did leave the fresh and the free.

Listen awhile, and you will see;
But this be sure-in earth or air,
God and Gods laws are everywhere,
And Nemesis comes with foot as deet
On the Texas trail as in Regent street.
The air was heavy, the night was hot,
l sat by her side and quite forgot;
Forgot the herd that were taking their
rest,
Forgot that the air was close opprest,
That the Texas norther comes sudden
and soon,
In the dead of night or the blaze Of moon;
That once let the herd at ltR breath take
fright,
Nothing on earth can stop their flight;
And woe to the rider, and woe to the
steed,
Who fall in front Of their mad stampede!
Was that thunder2 No, by the Lordl
l spring to my saddle without a word.
One foot on mine, and she chung behind,
Away! on a wild chase down the wind!
But never was fox-hunt half 30 hard,
And never was steed so little spared,
For we rode for our lives. You shall
hear how we Jared
In Texas, down by the Rio Grande.
The mustang few. and we urged him on;
There was one chance left, and you have
but one;
Halt, Jump to the ground, and shoot your
horse;
Crouch under his carcass, and take your
chance;
And if the steers in their frantic course
Don't batter you both to pieces at once,
You may thank your stars; If not, good
To the open air and the open sky,
In Texas, down by the Rio Grande!
The cattle gained on us. and. just as l
felt
For my old six-shooter behind in my belt,
Down came the mustang, and down came
we,
Clinging together, and-what was the
rest2
A body that spread itself on my breast,
Two arms that shielded my dizzy head,
Then came thunder In my ears,
As over us surged the sea Of steers.
Blows that beat blood into my eyes,
And when l could rise,
Lasca was dead.
I followed a grave a few feet deep,
And there In Earth's arms l laid her to
sleep;
And there she is lying and no one knows,
And the summer shines and the winter
SHOWS;
For many a day the flowers have spread
A pail of petals Ger her head;
And l wonder why do not care
For things that are like the things that
were.
Does half my life lie buried there
In Texas, down by the Rio Grande?

Money in Growing Beet.

Many of the agricultural papers are
urging farmers to raise beef for mar
ket, claiming that the demand exceeds
the supply. This may be so to a GER
tain extent, but there are several other
conditions to be met before this indus
try can be made profitable to farmers
generally. AS matter of fact, the
farm and its adaptability has every
thing to do with success. There are
many farms even in dairying sections
not at all suited to dairying, but emil
nently fitted to raising cattle for beef,
and with such farm and a proper
knowledge Of the work the results
would probably be successful. The
question is but one Of many which
should be decided entirely on local con.
ditions and by each man for himself.
1t is folly to generalize on some things,
and this Is one of them.

FAvORITEs


It's all very well to write reviews,
And carry umbrellas, and keep dry shoes,
and say what every ones saying here
ana wear what every one else must
wear;
But tonight I'm sick Of the whole affair,
L want free life and want fresh air;
And l sigh for the canter after the cat
tie,
The crack Of the whips like shots in q
battle,
The medley of horns and hoofs and heads
mat wars and wrangles and scatters and
spreads;
The green beneath, and the blue above;
AND dash and danger. and life and love,
And Lasca!

PRETENDED MUTES MAKE
HAUL AT POKER TABLE

Two strangers pretending to be
deaf mutes dropped into saloon in
the business district the other after
noon and engageg in game of draw
with the proprietor and a friend of
the latter.
The saloon man saw Il chance to
reap a little easy money, and he and
his friend, taking it fer granted the
strangers could not hear. when they
would pick up their hands would tell
what they had. But despite this APP
parent advantage they did not seem
to be making very big inroads into
the piles of their silent companions.
However. occasionally they would
haul in good pot. and stuck at the
board well into the night in the hope
that luck would eventually come their
way. When the game terminated the
saloonkeeper and his friend were
something like $50 to the bad. In
stead of pair of mutes they diScoy-
cred they. had run against a couple
of smooth gamblers with new curves.
They were merely pretending to be
deaf. and when the other two advised
one another as to he cards they were
holding they would know how strong
to play them.
