A v estern Wife.

She walked behind the tagging mules
That drew the breaker thro' the soil;
Hers were the carly rising rules,
ners were the ewes of wiielv toll
The sm;tten prairie blossom'd lair,
The sod home faded from the scene;
Firm gables met the whispering air,
Deep porches lent repose serene.
But with'ring brow and snowy tress,
Bespeak the carly days of strife;
And there's the deeper wrought impress
rht untold pathos of the wife.
Q western mother in thy praise
No artist paints nor poet sings,
But from thy rosary of days,
5ods angels shape immortal wings,

zine.

GIRLS WHO FLIRT NOT WANTED

To begin with, girls don't flirt. Don't
try to flag down the first good looking
stranger that gets off the train in your
town. If he's got any sense he'll despise
girl that will firt with him. A man
that is worth having won't marry girl
that he has caught at the end of hand
kerchief or other kind of a filtration,
its dollars to doughnuts that his head is
the shape OF a quarter Of a pie with the
point up, and the girls father will have
both of them to support. Any girl can
catch fool, but it takes wise, sweet
girl to catch man.
When goodlooking, we'll dressed man
gets off the train or drives into town
there are always some girls who think
they will die if they don't get acquainted
with him quick, and are not willing to
wait for proper kind Of an acquaintance,
and begin to flag him down, and girl
who attracts the attention Of stranger
by any kind OF signs lowers herself in his
estimation, and she will never live long
enough to live it down.
When young man begins looking for
wife it is not the airt or fresh girl that
he wants, for he is sure to find out all the
good qualities of the girls that is worth
marrying. Be quiet and ladylike, don't
fear, you won't be overlooked in the
grand roundup by the man that is worthy
Of good, pure girl. Fathers and moth
ers, if you don't want your girls left on
your hands, bunch of excess baggage
look to it that size makes the right kind
of acqnaintandes in the right way.

TWO NEW DESERT TOWNS

Two towns, for which the United States
Government will act as sponsor, will be
erected next month in southern Idaho on
sites which are now an absolute desert
waste. Names already have been chosen
for them-Heyb for the first, which
officially is to be erected on November
14th, and Rupert for the second, which is
to be created one week later. The two
towns will be seven miles apart. Sales of
town lots will be conducted under Gov
ernment auspices on the days the towns
are erected. The lots will be sold to tile
highest bidder.
While the country is now desert, it is
expected that the great irrigating canals
which the Government is constructing at
cost in excess of $3,0OO.OOO will make
it very productive. The towns are To-
Gated on the recently constructed branch
of the Oregon Short Line Railroad.

NO UNION RULES FOR WOMEN

| The following, from the Chicago Eten-

You're not out of money so soon, are

mot at all, but Pm keeping union
hours. As the wife OF a good union man
| can't afford to work more than eight
hours. 1t wouldn't look right"
Here was problem that required
thought, and it was several minutes be-
fore he ventured to reply.
Mary" he said, at last, you've got
the wrong idea. Now, you're working
for those you love"
'That's what you ought to be doing,
too, instead OF going on strike to help
walking delegate show his importance.
Why shouldn't be as much afraid of
work as you are ?'
'I'm not afraid of work" he Ietorted,
"but eight hours is enough for any man."
''And for any woman"
''But how can we live on such plan?"
GLOW can we get ahead on your plan ?
Did any man ever make real success
who was afraid of few minutes extra
work? Do they take the superintendents
and foremen and managers from the men
who are outside the shop before the
whistle stops blowing?"
"We have no choice The union has
settled all that"
'If the boss had let the union tell him
how long he could work to advance his
own interests, would he be the boss now?
Could any of the bosses have succeeded
under such a rule? How does any man
who starts as you started get out of the
ranks and up among the officers Is it
by letting somebody tell him how much
he can do and how long he may work?''
''Don't you believe in unions ?" he
asked.
"Well, I've been thinking about them
a good deal lately" she replied, "and
this is the way it looks to me: You say
to the man you work for, Eight hours
is all I'll work, and you say to the wo-
man who works for you, IF You can't
make things comfortable for me in
twelve hours, why, work sixteen But
Pve quit. I'll work as many hours as
you do, and no more; and you've got to
have mighty good reason for any strike
you go on, or I'll go on one, too. Now,
there's labor problem for your union to
take up just as soon as it has the time.

DADA's BOY

The ship lay out OH sunlit bay,
And the crew were ready to sail away;
And sailor stood by little bed
As last good bye to his boy he sped
"Me go with dada" the baby said,
As he kissed the curls on the golden hea |.
mo, dear" he answered ''my boy,
don't cry,
For dada will fetch him by-and-by."
He sailed away, and one winter night
The boy lay dying, so frail and white;
And the mother watched by the tiny bed,
And smoothed the curls on the restless
head
"Me wants my dada" she heard him say;
But dada was many mile eaway.
"Oh, baby, | wish he were here J" she
cried,
And the twilight fell on the restless tide.
But on the peace of the winter night,
A storm arose with the waning light;
And ship went down at the dawn OF day,
That was homeward bound for the tiny
bay;
And the Dawning shone, when the storm
was DER,
On sailor dead on the golden shore
And the child lay dead in the morning
light,
For dada had fetched his boy that night.

Don't forget you live off the people here,
and you should help others as they help
you.
Don't advertise in the local paper "to

MATHlEY MUST HANG,
SO The Condemned is in
formed by hiSAttOrneys.
Very few Applicants for Tick
cts TO See the Second
Execution.

Greensboro KY, July Bob it
is all off with you. You will have to
hang. We have done everything in
our power to save you, but to no
avail"
These words were spoken by J. r.
Hays, one of the attorneys for Math-
ley, as he stood on the outside of his
cell at the Jail Tuesday.
"All right" replied the condemn
ed man and he commenced to pace his
cell.
Is there anything can do for
you?" asked Rev. T. N. Compton,
who, at the request of Mr.. Hays, had
accompanied him to the Jail
Nothing" said the detected look
ing man as he continued to walk
slowly up and down his narrow room.
This is how the news came to the
prisoner that he was to die on the
scaffold at early dawn next Friday
morning.
1t was decided Monday morning
by Mathley's attorney that it would
be useless to have an inquisition in
to his sanity.
During the past week many physi-
clans visited the condemned man in
his cell at the Jail. Very, few it is
understood, thought the man to be
mentally unbalanced. Under these
conditions the attorneys were con-
fronted with a hopeless case.
1t is not thought that any further
efforts of any kind will be made to
save the man from being executed
on Friday.
The work of erecting the scaffold
was commenced Yesterday. The
scaffold upon which Roy Green was
executed has been stored away and
will be again brought into use. A
rope which was purchased from a
Cincinnati firm has arrived in the
city.
There have been very few people
who have applied to the sheriff for
tickets to the hanging The number
will be limited to fifty and since the
execution of the negro it is thought
that it will behad to get that num-
Der to witness the grewsome scene.

This action is taken in view of the
fact that smallpox is very prevalent

SUICIDE. MURDER.
Or Accidental Killing By His Own
Hands, Was Fate of
Sam Price.

Sam Price who was engaged in
cutting saw-logs on land adjoining
the Berry Rial farm II miles down
Rough river from Hartford and who
was temporarily camping near there
in a tent received the contents
of a twelve gauge shotgun in his
breast Tuesday morning and died in
a few moments. Whether the shoot
ing was accidental, with suicidal or
murderous intent there is some con-
lecture. An inquest was held over
the dead mans body Tuesday after
noon at Beans undertaken shop
here and the only witness heard was
Mrs. Lote Hatcher who stated that
Price was, at the time he was shot.
sitting on a log wagon near the tent
in which she and her husband and lit
tie daughter lives and had the gun in
his hand with the butt of the stock
resting on the ground under his
swinging feet. She says that Price
leaned over on the muzzle of the
gun and said that he wished the gun
would fire off and kill him. She
ridiculed the idea and censured him
for saying such. She said that
price then put his foot on one Of the
hammers and as he did so she ex-
claimed Don't do that and before
she hardly uttered the words the gun
fired and Price fell over fatally
wounded, frightful hole being torn
in his breast.
A little eight year old girl substan-
cially co-oberated the story and the
coroner's jury returned a verdict in
accordance with these facts, acct
dental killing being shown by the
evidence.
There are some however who are
rather inclined to the belief that
foul play was the result of Prices
death, and there are some grounds,
probably, for this belief. Price and
the Hatcher woman's husband had
been on bad terms for sometime and
it is reported that the man with
whom Price had been working re-
marked in the presence of other
parties that there would be a killing
that day. He said nothing to indi-
cate who he meant would be killed
nor how, but such remarks have
aroused some suspicion.
Investigations thus far have failed
to fix responsibility for the killing
on anyone except the dead man and
it is generally believed that he pur-
posely or accidentally killed him
self.
