HOW DAY ENDS IN DESERT
When the Sun sets the colors IN the

Beautiful for Description.

A fitting close TO a day Of songbirds
and flowers is q desert sunset The
Calico mountains to the north first an

afternoon its rents and gashes become
masses OF purple shadow. strikingly
outlined by the exposed sunlit stretches
which are gradually absorbed until the
whole mountain is dull and ,iteless.
When the sun is low. the rugged range
to the southwest Is tinged with a rosy
glow varying from a dull pink to a
deep rose, into which a purple hue
gradually blends till It subdues all the
brightness and the purple, in turn.

masses Of FURNISHED gold, which merge

desert sunset, you win see the soft cir

over the ground and hear the low call
OF, the dove. When the brightness has
faded and the blue has crept in and
banished the red you draw deep
breath and feel yourself part of the
peace and quiet of the sky. You begin
to understand the lure of the desert.
You feel as If body and soul had al

suddenly been set free In this i'm

lie down to sleep under the sky thick

swept air caresses your cheek with a

Albert T. Reid and Harvey Parsons,
two well known Kansas artists, are
very good friends Reid was one of
Parsons teachers. N
Recently Reid drew a handsome wa
ter-color picture depicting a very pret-
ty girl dressed in q mIlkmaid's cos
tune. She had one arm thrown loving
ly about the neck OF big, fine Hol-
stein cow-the kind they raise in Kan
sas In the other hand she carried
milking stool The girl and the COW
were wandering through field of
daisies. 1t is good piece of work and
was accepted readily and gladly by the
publishers who ordered 1t.
Just about the time Reid had 1t fin
ished Parsons wandered into his stu
dio.
What are you working on?" asked
Parsons. Reid pointed to an easel on
which stood the picture of the girl and
the COW
Parsons looked 1t over for some time
and, blowing out big wreath of pipe
smoke. asked: "a

The papers are printing a rehash OF
a fight that took place many years ago
between Senator Robt. L. owen and
Col. L. B. Bell. The Chieftain man
knows all about that fight in fact he
was the referee and Of course had to
see it. II took place at the old Cher
|okee court house In what was then
Delaware district. Owen and Bell
were the opposing council in fam
GUS law case in the Cherokee courts.
Judge Geo. w. Clark was the district
Judge and the fight took place in his
court. It wasn't much of a fight as
fights went in those days. Col. Bell
called Owen a liar and the latter told
him he was another. and then the men
were fighting over a small table in
the court house. Owen struck Col.
Bell over the eye and the latter threw
a lamp at his antagonist, striking a
deputy sheriff on the arm and break
Ing the lamp. Col. Bell reached over
the table and caught Owen by the
collar Of his wooden shirt and nearly
ore II off him. By-standers pulled the
men apart and the trial went on. Dock
Cunningham was deputy sheriff and
'eing giant in size parted the men
,asy enough. Everybody laughed and
here was mighty little excitement.
