Ny Mothers Garden.

Her heart was like her garden,
Old-fashioned. quaint and sweet.
A wealth of buds and blossoms
Hid in still retreat
Sweet violets Of sympathy
Were always opening there,
And lilies white and pure unclosed.
Each one a whispered prayer.
Forget t-me-nots there fingered
TO late perfection brought
And there bloomed purple pansies
In many a tender thought.
There hopes first snowdrops took deep
root
And howered because they must,
There loves own roses reached toward
heaven
On trellises Of trust.
And IN that quiet garden
The garden Of her heart
Song birds built nests and caroled
Their songs OF cheer apart.
And from il still floats back to US,
Oercoming sin and strife,
Sweet as the breath of roses blown.
The fragrance Of her life.

the United States will be represented by
Mr. William Barclay Masterson. better
known as bat" all round bad man
and gun fighter"
The official announcement has been
made that bat" is TO be appointed a
deputy for this district and United
States Marshal Hcnkel expects him to
drop In most any day now TO take the
oath OF office. bat" owes his appoint
ment directly TO President Roosevelt who
is his friend and admirer.
The president met Masterson when ne
was ranching in the west and they have
been friends ever since. Masterson was
In Washington for a week a year ago
and had a daily chat with the president
about the old days i'm the west Master
son Is friend Of Capt. Seth Bullock,
another of the presidents intimates from
the west.
bat" Masterson is credited with os
uotches on the handle OF his gun" in
dicating that he has killed that number
Of men. Bat" doesn't DO much talking
about these episodes i'm his career. con
tenting himself with saying that what
ever shooting he has done has been in
the strict performance OF his duty.
He SHOOTS WELL
Il don't believe I'm fighting except when
I have to-" says Bat"
About 1877 he was made marshal OF

for a crooked game. Bats" task was
10 drive out the crooks. and he proceeded

at the point OF his gun There were run
ming street fights, I'm which pistols rang
out like musketry.

at a settlement known as Adobe Wall.
on the Canadian river. and it was only
tho fact that his gun spoke an instant
before the other fellows that saved his
life
That same night a band Of Indians led
bv p renegade negro attacked Masterson
aud his men, and were not put 20 flight
until Masterson put bullet through the
negros heart
Mastcrsons greatest record as n man

gan 10 shoot 10 up"
Into this crowd walked BAT"

There was only one movement and
that was FOR guns. but "Bat" killed the
six cowboys
