Now see here old man. I've been good wife I've never made trouble, I've never made strife I'm not one that fusses or ever complains, But I'm sick and I'm tired of life on these plains. We left good home for you just would not rest Till you bundled us up and brought us out West And now here we are without tree or shade, In as lonesome land as God ever made So far out here on the plains so high, So far out here so hot and so dry; Say why should mortal so suffer out here? Why perish for plenty when plenty is near? Say why old man. should mortal here pine With nothing from Heaven but hot sunshine With nothing below, an bleak and all bare What hope for living to taTy here? Away from the rivers with rolling tide, Away from the sea- so deep and so wide Away from the groves, the meadows, the shade In as barren land as God ever made. Here the winds sweep by, and they never stop Here the clouds sweep by but never drop; Here the lightnings glare and the thunders roar The heavens hang dark, but never pour. Over these plains so parched and so brown, The coyotes prowl when the sun goes down, The prairie dogs bark and the rattlers hiss Good Lord deliver me from land like this. Now I'm takin' old man. takin' it straight; I want to go back and 1t want to wait l want such home as gracious gift Out on these plains where the sandstorms drift I want to go back where the trees grow tall, Where the roses bloom and the showers fall Where the peach and the pear blush like the maid And the children swing in the old oaks shade I'll take the land of melons and berries I'll take the land of apples and cherries. Now listen, old man. that's just how 1t is, I'm not going to stay in land like this
 
 Well Upon my word never did know it, That my old woman would turn up poet; But I'll swear right now if she'll hush that rhyme I'll sure take her back in double quick tme I'll quit these diggin's in the high dry West And go right straight back to our old home nest; We'll strike bee line for the hills of Polk And we will stop right there, and that's no joke

This trip was made by automobile with frequent stons One of these was at the home of family tha had left Arkansas few years ago with $4000 in money but have lost it all.

Soon after recent visit to the mod

table a diamond veil pin, one of a
pair which was made to order and of
exquisite workmanship. Hurriedly re-
turning she asked if it had been found
and was very politely told that it had
not. She expressed the greatest regret,
as she was extremely fond of the pins.
few days later she went in to see
about her hats and it was then that
the pin was restored to her. With sin

the madame, who was amazed that so
rich woman should make such fuss

She had been searching for some

Who did CALL
POUCHAN "THIEF'? !?
Jury Must Decide This Question
in Slander Suit Against
julius S. Godeau

Whether Germain Pouchan was
called a thief by Julius S. Godea1 or
whether he called himself thief. is the
knotty problem that will be submitted
to jury in Judge Sturtevant's court
today for determination. Pouchan, who
is proprietor of the st. Germain res
taurant, and one of the best known
members of the local French colony. is
suing for s25,00O damages from Godeau,
who is an undertaken and equally well
known in Gallo circles. The case was
partly tried yesterday and will be con-
cluded today.
The exchange of unkind words. of
which two opposite accounts were
given to the jury yesterday. took place
the evening of March s, 1908. in the
basement of Red Mems hall. Pouchan
and Godeau had previously got into
conflict at a meeting of directors of
the French hospital, where they headed
opposing factions. The gathering at
Red Mems hall was summoned by
Godeau and was partly for the purpose
of discussing allegations of stealing
hospital supplies that had been made
against Godeau and partly for the pur-
pose of framing a ticket for the ensu-
ing election of directors. Although un-
invited, Pouchan attempted to enter the
meeting. but was met in an anteroom
by Godeau.
Thieves are not allowed in here"
Godeau said to him, according to
Pouchan's testimony yesterday. Then
you call me theft" Pouchan says he
responded, receiving the answer, Yes,
you are" Several witnesses corrobo-
rated his account of the wordy conflict
Godeau, however, gave a different
IL er,,
he met Pouchan in the anteroom and
said, "You are under accusation; you
have no right in here" whereupon
Pouchan cried twice. "Then you call me
a thief?" To this Godeau says he re-
sponded, Il don't know"

IN CABANISS' COURT
Judge Well Pleased With Re-
port of Officials

A report submitted to Judge Ca
baniss yesterday showed that of %
first offenders whom he had admitted
to probation % were steadily employed
and only one had betrayed the conf
dence of the court by giving further
trouble to the police.
Among the probationers was Will
liam Kunze, who stole a valuable Mil
let picture from the park museum and
who is now working for William Dick
man, the artist, as janitor.
William Hughes, young negro who
pleaded guilty of attempt to rob
clothing from an apartment house, was
presented for sentence Immediately
after the judge had perused the re-
port OF the probation officers. Judge
Cabaniss' first impulse was to send
Hughes TO Jail for one year, but he
was so pleased with the operation of
the probation law that he extended its
provisions to Hughes.
