TWILIGHT CHAT.

That Mormon missionaries would
actually be successful in converting
young women is almost beyond belief,
but according to Hans p. Freeze, a
former Mormon, who delivered a lee
ture at the North Reformed Church
recently, this is beyond a doubt the
fact. Mr.. Freeze said that the pur-
pose of these missionaries was to send
the girls to Utah in time. Why don't
u home missionary societies step in
and do some work?

Walnut Tree. BY Grandma. Door
BY G. A. RANDALL.

BY G. A. RANDALL.
Still standing all upscathed by time
The angel OF memory brings back as OF yore,
Like dream that has fed, still TO memory
twining,
The low spreading walnuts near grapdmother's
door;
The wide spreading walnuts,
The old fashioned walnuts,
The trees love best near grandmother's door.
How Oft in our childhood we romped in their
shadows,
With the leaves rustling softly in the boughs
ever more
And the birds came with songs from their
nests in the meadows,
And sang from the trees near grandmothers
door;
And sang from the walnuts,
The spreading old walnuts,
The trees love best near grandmother's door.
And in fancy see dear face all beaming
And voice softly welcoming Us DER and DER,
As she came down the path TO extend US her
greeting.
A grandmother, s love; meath the trees by her
door.
Meath the low spreading walnuts.
The old fashioned wsnuts,
The trees love best near granamother's door.
And we raced up the path TO see first who
would kiss her
Ard be Rugged in return by her more and more
While she showered on our checks such kisses
with fervor.
We knew each was loved meath the trees by
her door;
Were loved meath the walnuts,
The sacred old walnuts.
By grandma herself meath the trees by her door
o. the love for the days OF our youth that have
feeted; q
o! the love for the dear ones gone on before,
Hurries memory back to where lies secreted,
AL that's hallowed and dear by the trees near
her door;
To the rustling old walnuts
The whispering walnuts,
The trees love best near grandmother's door.

BAD MAN KILLED
WAS FOR ONCE TOO SLOW ON
TRIGGER.
LEADER OF RANGERS
Was Pat Garrett in the SOS. Shot
To Death by Youthful Ranchman,
Near Las Cruces, New
Mexico.

El Paso, Tex.Patrick F. Garrett,
known the continent over as the man
who killed G Billy the Kid the not
ed outlaw, and one Of the last promi-
nent men Of frontier days, was shot
and killed by ]. Wayne Brazle, .
youthful ranchman near Las Cruces,
N. NJ, in a dispute over, q ranch
lease.
Garrett had been ON a visit to one
of his ranches near New Mexico and
in a blackboard with friend was re.
turning to Las CRUCES when they
were overtaken by Brazle. A quar-
rel between the principals followed,
and Garrett is said to have reached
for his shot gun. Brazle fired twice,
both shots taking effect and Garrett
fell dead. Brazle then rode five
miles to Las Cruces and surrendered
to Sheriff Lucero. He was locked in
the city Jail after making a state
ment to the officer that he had shot
in self defense, and that he had not
drawn a gun until after Garrett had
reached for his shotgun.
The quarrel between Garrett and
Brazle arose over a ranch that had
been leased by Brazle and on which
he had pastured herd of goats. Gar
rett demonstrated with his lessee, and
declared that the goat pasturing was
in violation Of the contract between
them. Since then both men went
armed. "Pat" Garrett was sheriff
in Lincoln county N. NJ, in the early
sOs and his campaign against cat
tie rustlers was replete with dashins
arrests, pitched battles and bloody
encounters with the cattle thieves.
