A TALE OF THE DESERT.
BY NED WHITE.

They found him there on the desert,
Where he wandered away and died
With boulder for a pillow,
With an empty Canteen by his side.
In the canyon just below him,
Where the giant cactus stand,
They found an old pack saddle
And few white bones in the sand.
They knew not where he came from
But they dug him a shallow grave
And laid him to rest on the desert,
Where the sagebrush gently wave
Laid him to rest mid the cactus,
Where he wandered away and died,
With a tattered coat for a pillow;
With rusty canteen by his side.
Was it gold that lured him onward;
That led him there to fall?
Or was he one of the many
Who have-heard the deserts call:
Or maybe back in the mighty East
Some one is waiting yet,
Who remembers quarrel with loYer
Who wandered away to forget.
Who knows what Joys or sorrows
Were hidden in his breast?
Who knows what hopes he cherished
Before he came out West?
Who knows what awful turtures
He suffered 'ere he died?
With his aching head on 4 boulder;
With an empty canteen by his side.
Was he an old prospector
Who knew the desert well;
Grown tired of the tickle damsel?
What human tongue can tell!
We only know they found him
On the desert where he died,
With boulder for pillow,
With an empty canteen by his side

as soon as we can get around to it,
he stated. "There is still much un-
developed country In New Mexico and
Arizona and it will be our policy to
build additional roads as fast as
practicable"
The Randolph system of roads,
while operated by separate COM
panies, is closely allied with the
Southern Pacific and constitute
branches of the main system.
There still remains about $50 miles
of road to be built between Guaymas
and Guadalajara to complete the west
coast system in Mexico. About eight
miles of the San Carlos link has been
built and it is expected that the work
will be finished in 10 months. About
20 miles will be among the heaviest
and most expensive construction work
in the west.-El Paso Times.

REVIVAL OF PoLYGAMY.
Joseph =. Smith Brings Back the
Spirit of Brigham Younu.

Burton J. Hendrick, in McClure's.
Even before 1901 polygamous house,
holds had been re-established on a con
Siderable scale, but with the success OF i
Joseph r. Smith to the presidency Of
the church the restoration Of old con-
ditionH became practically open. More
than any Of the prophets successors
has Mr.. Smith brought back TO the
church the spirit Of Brigham Young
He has not Brighams ability or his
capacity for leadership. but he has all
OF Brigham's fanaticlsm, all his aE-
gressiveness, all his fiery devotion TO
the Mormon church. In order to un-
derstand the character OF President
Smith one must understand the cir
cumstances Of his early life His father
was Hyrum Smith, the brother OF
Prophet Joseph, and. at the time of
his death, the presiding patriarch OF
the church. In fits earliest days Nor
monsm lived in constant conflict with
it's neighbors; I'm Ohio, in Missouri. tn
Illinois, fits early history was a sue
cession Of mobbings, lynchinEs and
miscellaneous outrages. These dis
turbances form the most vivid memoir
ies OF President Smiths childhood
Eleven days before he was born Gin
far west Missouri, in 1880, his father
and his uncle were arrested, tried on
a charge of treason and sentenced To
death. The prophets were reprieved
on this occasion, but greater disasters
awaited them. In June, 1874, the wild
est disorder broke out i'm the Mormon
city OF Nauv0o; the Prophet Joseph.
his brother Hyrum and several other
Mormons wre arrested and taken 10
the Carthage Jail. A mob surrounded
the budding. determined 10 murder the
prisoners. Hyrum was shot. dying In
stantly; the Prophet Joseph jumped
from a second story window, and was
filled with bullets as he lay on the
ground. His last words were, The
Lord my God" The present Joseph
r. Smith wildly remembers the day
he as only years old--when the dead
bodies Of his father and uncle were
brought home.
