SUBJECTS FOR THE PEN

A story has reached us to the
effect that gang of so called
sports from Colorado Springs
slaughtered bunch of does over
on the Sleepy Cat district and
piled them up like lot of logs
and placed sign card on them
which read, "killed by Colorado
Springs Sports and several
initials were signed.
This evidently is the work of
bunch of scoundrels who think
hey are sports and who really
believe they did brave thing in
open defiance of the game law
of the state.
Such a bunch should be placed
behind the iron bars at Canon
City and made to serve a term
of years.
They probably have plenty of
money and would consider the
paying of few hundred dollars
in fines as much sport as the
killing of the deer. Anyone,
however, who considers this
useless slaughter of the best
game in the state real sport
reveals the existance of cavity
just beneath his scalp which
could as well he filled nv the
brains of an idiot. If there is
the state warden can run these
any possible means by which
hounds in the shape of human
beings down he certainly should.
1t is known that messages were
received at the rifle office for
a party from Colorado Springs.
These might aid the warden in
locating the offenders.-Rifle

them good to feel, by jung, that
Morgan don t own everything,
and if he came in consequence,
and also tried to climb the fence,
together with his dog and gun, he
too, would also get the run.
November will be unusual this
year for the reason that there
will be no full moon. This is be-
cause there will be total eclipse
of the moon on the night of the
10th, when it would otherwise be
full. This eclipse will be visible
in the United States and in Wall
street, and it will send bacon
down a couple of points.
The breath of winter will dis
til upon the outer windowsill,
and the chilling calf will hump
his back and burrow deeper in
the stack. The hired man, with
wintry spurts, will put on both his
undershirts, and the plutocrat
who sells us Goals will pry our
bodies from our souls.
Then let us all embrace the
chance and be as merry as we
may, for whether we desist or
dance, the fiddler is for all to pay.
The gentle autumntime will pass,
the countryman will kill his hogs,
the cotton-tail will weave the
grass around the obfuscated dogs,
the honking goose will ride the
heights with that weird hollering
of his, and the wolf will sit around
o nights and tell the moon how
thin he is.
o woe is us that could enjoy
the autumntime for aye and aye
and what with growing soul en-
ploy its witchery from day to day.
The phosphorescence in the sky,
the quail soft-plping on the hill.
the blackbirds ever bobbing by.
and the wind soft-sighing where
it will.
But happiness can never last,
as Antony could apprehend, and
holding Cleo to him fast, destroyed
himself before the end. The sum
mer cometh after spring, and win

Deciphered in the almanacs,
