POETRY
DECEPTION IN CACTUS CENTER.

We are strong, down here in Cactus,
 for the ma ajestY of law But a heart throb's sure to stop us ere
 we make the haher draw: That is why we freed a hoss thief that
 was caught near BrIdgers Buttes. he rode Slim Johnson's pinto
 and he trailed three stolen We was all prepared to send him where
 ne Joln more Of his kind When he says: Gents. just one minute,
 in my Shirtfront yoU'Se find \ package that I'd gaze on, If it's all so mn, the sa same to y3use % z,,,,,,.
 and drew out two baby shoes Well, we stood around there awkward.
 and we sorter scuffed our feet; You could hear our spurs make music,
 and it sounded soft and sweet; We was due to start proceedin's, it was But somehow we'd lost our fever to
 enact the role of fate; We jest milled there in the moonlight,
 and nobody. said word; Some was loOkin' to their saddTes, hs4
 at last Bear Hawkins stirred And he freed this hoss thief feller, asA
 we rode away by twos Cause you can't hang anybody who is
 pAckin' baby shoes.
 Yes, Of course. the law was cheated, for
 we found the game was old; He had worked the same at Sage
 Crick, and at Range View, we And he never had no children, and the
 shoes he'd simply found; Such we learned. with other details.
 when the story got around; But in spite Og all the laughter that
 we've drawed down by our act We would play the same cards over
 that's a cold. hard-twisted fact: So we scorn the ieers of Pinon, and we
 don't mind Lone Trees hoots. Cause we know they'd do what we
 done when we found them baby

China'S Mall

Few people realize what an almost perfect condition prevails along a large part or the great wall of China The bricks of the parapet are as firm as ever. and their edges have stood the severe climate conditions of North China with scarcely a break, as ex- plained in the March Popular Mechan- 1cs Magazine. The paving along the top of the wall is so smooth that one may ride over it with a bicycle. and the great granite blocks with which it is faced are smooth and as closely fit ted as when put in place over two thousand years ago. The entire length of this wall is 1.40O miles, it is P feet high and 20 feet in thickness At in teTVals of 100 yards or so there are towers some 40 feet in height.
