Death and the Worldly Man

Old earth, dark place where mad
men chase
After the dirty dollar;
Until some day Death comes their
And says, "old Teller, foller."
Then says the man with trem-
bling han
"Oh gosh! can't go yit;"
With austere wave toward the grave
Says Death drop that and git"
That closed the show; he had to go,
And off he went whining;
Looking back at his money sack,
And pining. pining, pining.

scale, is not entitled to even the cred

lis frequently found to be stealing
from some one else. AT first he doubt

such funds, but plans miscarry n

doing leads him on. The embezzler
of small funds is a lesser criminal,

tunity. The principle of criminal
dishonesty is the same in either case.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
AS TO THE RANGE
- ------- -.--- -.I AIl, - ----- -

A Pierre special says: Inc decis-
ion of the supreme court in the case
of George Moore VS.. Per Person was
brought into the supreme court to
test the old laws which gave a differ
ent trespass code to the west side OF
the river than that which prevailed
on the east side of the stream. When
the case was up for argument the
attempt was made to secure a ruling
on the constitutionality of the stat
ute in question, but the decision OF
the court is based on the fact that
when the statute was passed provid-
ing for free range west of the river
it specifically named a number of
counties in which the law vas to be
effective. A later enactment attempt
ed to apply this same law to any TN
organized counties in the state as
we'll as counties organized after 1885,
but court holds that SO long Is spe-
cific territory was not named, the law
could not be made to apply to Lyman
county, the county in which the suit
was brought. The decision would al
so effect Stanley as we'll as Lyman
and portions of Pennington and
Meade counties. The counties which
were included in Butte county UNI
der the consolidation act, were spe-
cially named and such decision would
would not apply to that county.
But this decision has been practi-
,ally nullified by the law of the last
legislative session, in ease that law
should be held good by the supreme
court IN test. TIE new law apply
ing to all counties of the state, and
allowing the people of any county
who so desire to secure the submits
sion to a vote of the people of the
county, the question of free range or
herd law. This enactment was Sc
cured as a compromise between the
contending forces from west of the
river, one side desiring a complete
wiping out of the free range, and the
other desiring it to be continued, and
the results of the present situation
indicate that the stock interests got
the better of the arrangement. as un-
der the present decision of the SUI
preme court their privileges would
be at an end at the present time
while under the new law they hold
their privileges until a vote is taken,
and tahestheir chances ON being de-
feated.
In the meantime petitions are be-
ing circulated in Lyman county to
bring the matter to a vote at a spe-
cial election to be held for that pur-
pose and the settlement OF the 1ues-
ton in that wax The stockmen and
all say the settlers are getting the
best of them by chasing their stock
with dogs, and keeping them on the
run most OF the time. Although 1t
now looks assi If the different factors

working for her living. She and the
girl and other girls at the house had
a good time one afternoon together.
And then a few days later the proud
storekeeper's daughter sailed down
town in her fluffy white buds and
passed the girl she had met before
and cut her dead. Could she be speak
ing to every hired girl she met on
the street?
Why, of course not. And the sec
ond girl went home and had a good
cry. And she wouldn't treat a dog
that way.
And she went to a dance in the
country where they moved the things
from the front room and the
kitchen, and put the fiddler and call
croft in the bedroom door. And
she met a big-footed Dutch country
girl, who danced on her heels and
threw the boys around like sacks of
flour. And the country girl thought
the city girl with her big hat and
town clothes was just the sweetest
thin out of heaven. And when the
country girl came to town looking
like a fright II Saturday night she
ran into the city girl and her chum
from the West Side on parade with a
dapper little clerk and a pretty look
ing tin-horn gambler whom all the
girls at the shirtwaist dance said was
Just dead swell" And do you think
the town girl spoke to the big-footed
country girl with her funny clothes
ono
Not on your tintype. She turned
her face the other way and she and
the other girl and the two boys sailed
by prouder than a peacock.
And so it goes. Cruelty and pride
and vanity stabbing their way thro
the world. Women are worse than
men. Men accept one another for
what they are really worth. A rich
man who has honestly earned mis-
money, thinks nothing of talking to
someone's hired man. The railroad
brakeman and the railroad president
have relations that their wives never
could assume-providing that their
wives are fools. A man is proud OF
the fact that he has worked with his
hands and come up in the world
There was a Woman at the federation
of clubs last spring who was once
head waiter at the Whitley, and tho
she was a cultivated, honest woman
she was ashamed of it, and if the
papers published the fact at that time
the federation would have mobbed
the office.
Now, why? If her husband had
once been a porter at the Whitley
and had made money, he would have
been proud of his rise. Women are
funny. This is a funny world.
