TO A DOLLAR.
Here's to a dollar. the cause of our woe.
That keeps us all working and worry
Some want it to spend it. some want it
to save,
Some people will seorn it and others will
rave
About the great things that a dollar
can do
But this much, earth-dwellers, you'll al
ways find true
No matter how many round dollars
there be,
There's never too many for your and

TOUGH LUCK. ~
Such damp and rainy weather gives
A working man the blues,
Each time it starts to storm he finds
He needs a pair of shoes.
Birmingham was anybody's duck pond
yesterday.
A REAL TEST
It's easy enough to be pleasant
When everything's o. K.
But the man worth while is the man who
can smile
When it's dark and a chairs in the way
IMPUTATIONS.
It's funny how we bore other people
and never bore ourselves
Dead men tell no tales, but their tomb
stones do.
Reputation is a cloak; character is the
naked man.
Some people boost themselves in the
newspapers so much that 1t makes us
wonder who will look after their eulogies
when they die
A PARADOX.
No matter where you go to live,
No matter where you roam,
You'll find the best imported" stun
Is made right here at home.

To vex each mortal

No useless noise,
No headaches when
We see. the boys"
No sudden rains
To make us wet,
No bank account
We have to get.
No wind to blow
Our hats right off,
While "newsies" laugh
And people scott.
No folks to tell
Us of our faults,
No flight of time
That nothing halts.
No Satan near
When we are weak,
No chumps to snub
Us when we speak.
No trolley cars
That seem to wait
on purpose just
To make us late.
No hateful jobs
We have to do,
No gloomy days
To make us blue.
No hopes that rise
And fall each day,
No bright prospects
That fade away
No bumps and jars
And jolts that make
A fellow swear
This life's a fake.

RANCHER SLAIN
At HIS TABLE

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April H.-John
Boyle, one of the best known ranchmen
in this section, was assassinated last
night as he sat at supper at the
Ketchum ranch, twenty-five miles south
east of Cheyenne and just off the line in
Weld County, Colorado.
News of the murder was brought to
Cheyenne by William Ketchum.
Boyle, Ketchum and James Cassidy,
cowboy, were seated at the supper table,
Boyle facing window. Ketchum and
Cassidy heard the sharp report of a rifle
and saw Boyle settle in his chair. When
he did not stir they sprang to his side
and found that he had been killed by a
bullet which entered his body just over
the heart A hole in the window pane
explained the entrance of the missile
Cassidy and Ketchum rushed outside
and both heard the rataplan of two horses
galloping along the canyon in which the
ranch is situated. They got their rifles
and pursued, but were distanced and lost
their way trying to follow the trail in
the darkness. Cassidy took care of the
body of Boyle, while Ketchum rode to
Cheyenne to give the alarm.
Four years ago some one put poison
in BoyIe's food and nearly killed him.
The murder was similar to those in the
days of Tom Horn.

AGED WOMAN STEALS
TO APPEASE HUNGER

Sick and starving, aged Mrs Louise
Alic, a French Canadian, aged Y, turned
shoplifter yesterday and was caught IN
the act. The woman arrived here Friday
from Montreal and yesterday found her
self alone and penniless. She spent her
first night in the city wandering about
the streets In the morning she felt the
pangs of hunger keenly. She had not a
friend here to whom she could apply for
aid and she could talk but little English.
In her broken French Mrs. Allie tried
to attract the sympathy of passers by on
Market street. but no one would listen 20
her. Then she became desperate. She en-
tered Hale Bros store andswatching her
chance snatched7 a satehel from counter
and managed to escape without being de-
tected.
Made bold by the success Of her first
theft the old woman decided that she
would steal enough to keep her from
starving until she could find work. Hun
ger had destroyed what moral sense she
had. She went into 15-cent store and
took a number of small toilet articles,
which she stuffed into the satchel.
A clerk saw her this time and Special
Policeman o.. 5. Neil was called. The
aged thief was taken TO the City Hall
station where she was booked on two
charges of petty larceny. Mrs. Alic pro-
tests that this is her first offense.
81 did it because 1 was starving" she
says. 'T did not know a soul here. No
one would help me and l was so hungry

that 1 could find work here. / have not
