IN WHICH A WYOMING EAGLE
LETS A SCREAM

(From the Cody Enterprise
Before the coming of spring our
armies will be marching across
flaming Europe, to lend their aid
in the name of justice along the
French frontier, in the hell of hate
where millions struggle now. Over
the SCARED and hideous battle
fields, in Shiny trenches, on blood
stained plains and lofty mountain
heights the stars and stripes will
float to cheer us on to victory, and
cast its peaceful shadow on the I'M
known graves in that foreign land
where many of our countrymen
will rest. This war will take
toll of blood from nearly every
town within our borders. Daniel
Webster said: Let our object be
our country, our whole country
and nothing but our country"
Our country's call for help will
ring from sea to sea. How will
Cody answer?

letter to Miss Robertson, telling her
not to marry before his return. If she
did so, he would make it his business
to kill her husband. Then the young
man sailed away to foreign parts, and
the months rolled on, and eventually
son, and found favor in her eyes.
She went with him to the altar, and
the twain settled down to live happy
ever after. Alexander's threat caused
no uneasiness in Anne's gentle BOSOM.
Doubtless the young man had forgot
ten her by this time. The threats of
lovelorn springalds are as idle as the
winds. SO the months kept rolling
day Anne was seated by q window
nursing her first-born, and a shadow
fell upon her. Looking up, she found
herself face to face with Alexander
Balfour. There was murder in his
eyes. She read his fell intention at
a glance, and shrieked. Her husband,
who was in back room, rushed to her
side to see what distressed her. Very
calmly, Alexander Balfour aimed a
pistol and fired, and Syme fell dead.
Then was Balfour taken to Jail,
and shortly afterwards he was tried,
and sentenced to death. All the pow
er and pull Of his influential relatives
could not avail him in this evil case.
There came an evening when he knew
that the next sunrise would be the
last he'd ever see. From the barred
window of his dungeon he could see
the instrument Of death, the maiden,
which had been erected that afternoon
by whistling workmen. 1t stood upon
q knoll, so that the plain people would
be able to see every detail Of his exc
cution.

HOW BAlFOUR MISSED THE
MAIDEN.

A LEXANDER BALFOUR was born
"A at the seat Of his father, Lord Bur-
leigh, near Kinross, i'm the year 1857,
and in all Scotland there was no infant
with fairer prospects. His father was a
great man, there were grecG people
among his uncles and cousins and
aunts. Among his distinguished and
powerful relatives were the duke of
Argyle and the earl of Stair. So AL
exander, as he grew up, Draw gal
liant, dreamed dreams of glory.
In the fullness of time he went to
the University of st. Andrew, where
he distinguished himself for intelli-
gence and zeal. His teachers admired
him so mucn they predicted great
things for him, and said he would
have been destined to greatness, even
had be been born a plebeian. Then
one day the university shut down for
a brief season, and Aleck went home
for a vacation. And, having reached
his ancestral hall, the first thing he
did was to fall in love with Anne Rob-
ertSon, the gOverneSS or his little SIS
ters. The chroniclers say that Anne
was passing fair, and as wise as SER
pent. She tried to discourage Alexis
infatuation. She handed him the ice
tongs in every way she could, but the
young man was determined 70 marry
her.
Then his father, old Lord Burleigh,
got wise to what was going on and
put in his oar. He discharged Miss
Robertson and told mis- Son to pack
up his traps and take a tour abroad,
staying away until summoned home.
This was a standard antidote for love-
sickness in those days. Foreign travel
was cure for many ills which now
are reached by patent medicines. Al
exander went away, imagining him.

Oh! SHINING Shoes,

"In a democracy it is fitting that a
man should sit on a throne to have his
shoes polished or, to use a brighter,
gayer word, shined. We are all kings,
and this happy cOnceit of popular gov
ernment is nicely symbolized by be-
ing, for these shining moments, so
many kings together, each on his SIM
liar throne and with slave at his
feet. The democratic idea suffers a
little from the difficulty of realizing
that the slave is also king, yet gains
a little from the fair custom of the
livelier monarchs to turn from left foot
to right and from right to left, sc
that, within human limbs. neither shoe
shall be undemOcratically shined

Up Through Difficulty.

Tell me the name of one man who
has really made good without hard
ships, struggles and suffering. Any
time you make up your mind that there
is no use in further trying, and that
you will wait for some opportunity to
come along, call out the reserves and
have the whole force club you into ac-
ton. If you have any idea that you
can make a success sitting down, while
men of mental energy and great physi-
cal strength are working for all they
are worth, you have one more guess
coming. If you are not ready and
willing to fight, and fight hard, you are
in the middle of the stream, near the
falls. It's all easy with you now,
and will be-until you strike the rocks.

Harbor of Rotterdam.

Rotterdam harbOr in some ways is
more picturesque than the harbor Of
New York. There are no fringing
skyscrapers, but there is as much life
and movement, more color and con-
trast, a finer sweep Of line and group
ing Of detail. The many canals that
surround it, the quaint craft that ply
up and down, the flying bridges that
close many Of the distant vistas, all
these combine with the rich color Of
sky and water to make a whole that
smacks more Of the seafaring Of TO
nance and less Of the seafaring of
commerce that is the keynote Of ou
harbors today.
