We have just gone through the
strenuous season in which, for the
last ten days, the civilized peo-
pie have tried to make them
selves believe that they were

their happiness was unbOunded.

by the possession of the real

vertising have not a positive
value. 1t is simply a question
of availability. The traveller no

not have 4 thousand. Using the

JUDGE BAILEY
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

When the writer came to this
town one Of the most striking
characters on the streets was
Judge Bailey. A man who was
then upward of the S5th mile
stone and as straight as an arrow,
as bright a conversationalist as
there was in the territory and 50
much Il gentleman that he would
put most of us to shame in our
ordinary conversation with him.
Today he is but common clay;
discouraged, dispondent and
alone it is said that he took his
own life placing a revolver in
his mouth and shooting the ball
directly through the brain. Some
25 years ago Judge Bailey came
to this country in search of the
fabulous wealth Of the southwest
and to recover a lost fortune.
He was successful in neither
project. A few months ago he
was thrown from a wild horse
land since that time he has been
failing rapidly both physically
and mentally. His last act was
evidently the cause of a diseased
brain. For years he has lived at
La Luz and has many friends in
that town and this who will
grieve to hear of his sad ending.
The funeral was held at La Luz
Tuesday.

for the chemsiette, the deep cuffs and
the trimming of the sleeves any con-
trasting amterial is appropriate. If an
elaborate blouse is to be made, all

and backs are tucked becomingly and
the waist is closed invisibly at the

EASTWARD.

Beyond the murky rim OF hills
When fading city sunsets glow,
Tonight a robin swings and trills
In one tall cottonwood l know;
The shadows flung from branch and stem
Along a yellow sand-bar rest
] shut my eyes to dream OF them.
Here In my window looking west.
The shadows lengthen on the sand;
The log built barn across the way
Throws wide its doors on either hand
Beneath the rafters piled with hay;
The palings of the gray corral
Glimmer and waver in that light
Above the sleepy brown canal.
Out yonder on the ranch tonight.
Ear of that sunset glory sleeps
On level bench LANDS golden brown,
Where browsing slow along the sleeps
One after one the cows come down;
And on their homeward pilgrimage
Each trampling hoof and horny crest
Shakes perfume from the tufted sage
Oh, far faint incense of the west!
Tonight, know, beyond the rim
Where all my prairie sunsets fade,
Gods far white mountains look to Him
Clad in His glory, unafraid;
The solemn light on peak and scaur,
The clear. still depths OF cloudles air,
The trembling silver OF star
What would l give to see them there?
The mountains call me back, TO lay
My weakness on their boundless might;
The canons call me home to pray
In silent stainless shrines tonight;
Yst here IN dusty mart and street
l shut mine ears against their call
Content TO find my exile sweet
with love that recompenses all.
