The Outlaw

by Charles Badger Clark, Jr.
When my loop takes hold on two
year-old.
BY the feet or the neck or the horn.
He kin plunge and fight till his eyes
go white,
But I'll throw him as sure as
Though the taut rope sing like
banjo string
And the latigoes creak and strain.
Yet I've got no fear of an outlaw
And I'll tumble him on the plain.
For a man Is a man and a steer Is a
beast
And the man is the boss of the
herd: :.
And each OF the bunch from the
biggest to least. -.
Must come down when he says the
word E.
When my legs swing cross on an out
law hawse
And my spurs clinch into his hide.
He kin ar and pitch over hill and
ditch.
But wherever he goes I'll ride
Let i'm spin and flop like a crazy top.
or fit like wind-whipped smoke,
But he'll know the feel OF my rowel-
led heel
Till he's happy to own he's broke
For a man is a man and a hawse is
brute.
And the hawse may be prince of
his clan,
But he'll bow to the bit and steel
shod boot
And own that his boss is the man.
When the devil at rest underneath
my vest
Gets up and begins to paw.
And my hot tongue strains at Its
bridle-reins.
Then / tackle the real outlaw:
When get plumb riled and my sense
goes wild,
And my temper has fractions
growed,
II he'll hump his neck just triflin''
speck,
Then It's dollars to dimes I'm
throwed.
For a man is a man, but he's partly
beast
He kin brag till he makes you deaf.
But the one. lone brute, from the
West to the East
That he kaint quite break Is him
self

EUROPE OUTWITTED.
Essad Pasha, Defender of Scutarl, De
clares Himself King of Albania.

Paris, April 2S.-Europe mas had an
additional new sovereign since md
day. A dispatch to the Intranslgunt
states that Essad Pasha, Turkish de-
fender of Scutari, declared himself
King of Albania at the Tirana Chan
cellories today after notifying the gov
ernments at London, Paris and st.
Petersburg in advance. This UMPIRE
pared move has upsei: the calculations
of the powers, who had agreed that
the Duke of Montpensier should be-
come the ruler of the new kingdom
The new king of Albania, has $4,000
well-armed mountaineers to sustain
him, and the Balkan allies fell favor
able toward Essad Pasha. 1t is said
tha; the King Of Montenegro made a
treaty with Esasd Pasha before the
capitulation of Scutari which enabled
the latter to carry out his ambition.
The former Turkish general is des-
cended from an old Albanian family
which tried to throw off the yoke Of
Turkey in the eighteenth century.
This explains why he was willing to
risk leaving Scutari to Montenegro, 50
that he might govern Albania with the
consent of THE allied Balkan states and
snap his fingers at the rest of Europe.
1t is now evident why Essad Pasha
surrendered Scutari on the condition
that his troops be allowed to evacuatc
the city with their arms and ammuni'
ton.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Austri-
an heir to the throne, is furious be-
cause the outwitted powers cannot
possibly object to native Albanian
prince.
