, Dan, too, has crossed the last divide
He never viii return,
But since the nation has gone dry
'Twould be ill-bred to mourn.
And there was Henry Dorsey, too
A bold boy of the West;
A woman broke his loyal heart,
His own hand did the rest.
But when / saw that woman's mug
I stared with all my might;
She was hair-lipped cross between
A scarecrOw and a fright.
Ed Helfrich was a young man then,
And neat as he could be;
A quiet, genteel sort of chap,
And rather good to see.
He wore a coat full cut-away,
And walked with stately stride,
Perchance because he owned a store,
Perchance it was his pride.
And all the country came to trade
At Helfrich-Miller's store;
And when geyser could not pay
He trusted him some more.
If Helfrich had the unpaid bills
Which "bad pays" have denied,
He'd buy the state of Idaho,
And two town lots beside.
But Ed has gone his quiet way
With neither curse nor frown;
Content to hold a small place in
The little desert town.
Here's to you, Ed, for old times sake
Though you may not recall
The barefoot boy who sought your
place
To spend his little all.
And 1 recall the little girl
Who came unto his side;
Half frightened in that woolly place.
The one he made his bride
Her eyes were blue as gentian bloom,
Her lips were like a rose;
Half open in the dewy dawn,
When gentlest zephyr blows.
Her hair was cloudy as the night
When stars are faint and few;
Her brow like alabaster or
White lilies washed with dew.
About her temples feminine
Were sprays of clinging curls,
Moist sprays shot through with CLINT
of gold,
Her teeth were rows of pears.
Her face was all Madonna, too,
Her form a poets dream;
She seemed like some fair creature
made
OF moonlight's softest beam.
Her laugh was music waited DER
A still and breathing lake;
Or that wild flame of melody
When nightingales awake.
Her heart was good and made for
love,
Full in affections zone,
All, those who feel are oft in ntears,
Yet weep their tears alone.
Times kiss is on her gentle head
A faint, far trace of snow;
Yet beauty still is on her cheek.
And calmness on her brow
Perchance for her lone memories

Round fancy's golden urn;
And dreams of other days come back
With power to bless or burn.
Yet who has hear thee e'er complain,
Or breathe one bitter cry?
Forgiveness is upon thy lips,
And kindness in thine eye.
Upon her path, not always smooth,
l throw these lily sprays;
And touch my forehead as you pass,
oh, friend of other days
Soft as the light on distant hills
Or mother lips that Groom,
Be that last halo which shall fall
Along your afternoon.
May some sweet bird be wild of song
When your clear eyes shall close;
And clean white stars in heaven
hung
Give promise of repose.
If first your hands be folded down,
| pledge it on my trust,
To stand above your grave and drop
rose upon your dust.
Maroni Johnson butchered wood,
All, clearly 1 recall,
1t was an impish trick of fate
He had no nose at all.
But he had plenty mouth, I swear,
And much did Johnson chaw,
Till muscles big as squashes stuck
Straight out on either jaw
Now Frank McWilliams shared his
lot;
AS brother sticks to brother,
And while Maroni sawed one end
sure Frank would saw the other.
But oh, the houses they put up
Were something to behold,
In summer they let in the heat,
In winter, all the cold.
Frank still is on the turf, bedad,
And married, so they say,
But why woman picked on him
Is more than 1 can say.
Whene'er he shows his homely mug,
This truth let none deny
The citizens throw up their hands.
The little children cry.
But women are such funny things,
A puzzle in disguise,
Frank found one who would fall for
him,
And I found one likewise.

This darling venture of my youth,
And that you blame me not.
Had I not done this awful deed,
Believe me, for tbs true,
She might have won your Irish
| heart,
And finally married you.
Bill Turner ran a boarding house,
Where you could eat and sleep;
And pay your bill, and after that
Go forth to wall and weep.
Now Bill he loved a game of cards,
AS we'll as Galloway;
So Turner Bill, and Solo Bill''
Would often sit and play.
But why they played and why they
bet
My fancy may not borrow;
For if one lost a buck today
He won it back tomorrow.
Tutwiler ran the first saloon
He opened in a tent
Then died-oh, ask me not to tell
Where 1 believe he went.
Gus Riekwine bought Tutwiler out,
Oh, he could fill the mugs,
And empty them, perhaps that's why
Poor Gus went wholly bugs.
At first the little desert town
Was called "Tutville," and then
They named it Desert" after that
They named the place again.
Then Alex Bruce, handsome lad
From Canada blew in;
And cast his lot among the bunch
To lose his all or win.
Big was his heart and straight his
glance,
And tragic was his end;
Oh, there are reasons why I think
OF Aleck as friend.
The lonely winds above him sigh,
In melancholy power;
But spring above his wasted dust
Opes asweet desert flower.
Joe Vanderpool, Joe Sulloway,
Two Joes who made a pair;
To what one told as solemn truth
The other Joe would swear.
Joe Sulloway had thirty kids,
Or was it thirty-six?
All, how he fed that Sunday school,
Was more than juggler's tricks.
Joe Vanderpool served many turns,
Don't think that now lie,
He was so tall that every Fourth
They to his neck would tie
The flag and used him for a pole
Alas, how short his trust,
Death tripped his long legs up and
then
He trailed the flag in dust.
lack Hungerford he owned barn
And Johnny Mitchell, too,
Where broncho busters hung their
chaps
And went the town to do"
Zach owned horse that weighed ,

Likewise two-wheeled dray,
From year to year they went and
came,
And both grew old and gray.
And both passed in their checks at |
last,
According to the plan,
1t comes to bedbug and to beast,
Also it comes to man.
But all old timers recollect
That figure tall and slim,
Who never spoke to any man,
Unless they spoke to him.

Upon his lonely tomb;
And that the stars put kisses there |
To keep it free from gloom.
Dan Hill came in from God knows
where,
And opened a saloon;
His liquid goods were sure on tap,
In all signs of the moon.
Bog extract, sheep-dip, anything,
He called it hook and rye;
)ne drink would make a rabbit spit
Into a bulldogs eye.

Jules Hagar ran a little store
In those far golden days,
And he was white man to the core,
say it to his praise.
A miner of the early stamp,
He trusted men, and woke
To find his confidence betrayed,
And that his bank was broke.
Oh, what a world of things in cans,
And other things in sacks;
And farmers candy, taffy sticks,
With other nicks-and-nacks.
And gumdrops that would kill a
horse,
Which l thought excellent;
And sighed, as lovers sigh for more
When my last dime was spent.
And filled my skin on gingersnaps,
My most elastic hide;
With apples. prunes and hunks of
cheese,
And other things beside.
Within that silent camp which knows
No sound of shot or blast,
Jules Hagar with the other boys,
Has pitched his tent at last.
A bedbug rOokery next appeared,
Where old Pat Lanahan
Put up a place to eat and sleep
Upon the Irish plan.
And now l must a truth declare
At least that's what they say
The beds by night would walk about
Until the break of day

pale,
Likewise most awful thin;
Who did their lives take in thei
hands
That place to enter in.
Each morn a bedbug fixed the rooms
A cOckroaeh rang the bell,
And if at meals we beat the flies,
Twas doing mighty well.
For flies there were around tina
place
I've seen them, so / know
So large they set the castings bacl
For them to come and go.
Now Pat he was an Irishman,
AS Irish as could be;
He'd meet his man, he'd collar two
And sometimes he'd take three.
His old shilallan ratified true
And deadly was it's blows;
What cared he for a battered head?
Or for broken nose?
Now Joise Johnson was a dame
Full fifty if day;
And when she talked, for miles
around
They heard all she might say.
Slick back she combed her shiny
hair,
And tied it in a knot;
While the complexion of her cheek
Was like a coffee pot.
And when she walked-oh, such a
walk!
The memory makes me swoon,
Her toes appeared at nine o'clock,
Her shape that afternoon.
Her feet did cover much of earth,
Her head reached for the stars;
And love upon her maiden heart
Had set full many scars.
Now Cupid had in malice planned
This maid another blow;
For her fond glance at last had lit
On Bandy of Bruneau
Now Bandy had bunch of sheep,
Which gave the gent pull;
For Josie had an eye for chops,
Likewise an eye for wool.
Well, on one soft, sweet summer
night
I stoled by Lanahans,
No time had to think of crimes,
Or formulate my plans.
For by the open window sat
This dam-sel pealing spuds;
A human light was in her eye
She wore her Sunday buds.
/ paused and gazed a little while.
Then like to Adam fell,
But why l did that awful deed
ne'er shall know or tell.
ooh, Josiel JosieI hear" 1 cried.
And listen now to me;
For Bandy's telling everywhere
That you are siXty-three.
Ye gods! what happened then does
chill
My warm blood even now
A storm swept DER her swarthy
cheek,
And round her ancient brow.
The pan and spuds went everywhere
A pistol went ka-pop,
And like those spuds 1 moved my
freight
Afraid l was to stop.
rill far upon the gray sage waste
/ drew my guilty breath;
And thanked the seven stars that Il
Had so escaped from death.
But here is where the joke comes in,
Though it was not my wish,
That woman swore the awful deed
Upon my friend, Joe Bush.
Now Joe he swore by all the saints,
That he was innocent;
That for the dam-sell Josie J.
He had the best intent.
sut Josie would not take his word
And watched a chance to fight;
With six-gun handy to her grasp,
So Joe hid out at night.
IN, Joe, old friend, I hope that you
Have long ago forgot

In a recent expedition to Peru Mr..
Joseph Barefoot Of the University OF
Cambridge did some exploring In the
higher Andes and made some interest
Ing discoveries, which are told In the
British Medical Journal.
At 1900 feet cows gave milk; at
1900 feet they gave little or none. AT
1900 feet there were no cows. AT
1000 feet fleas disappeared. though
lice remained so long as there were
human beings.
AT these heights men have lived Tor
many generations. having become ac-
cllmatized to the rarefied air. Many
OF them lived In chlmneyless and win
dOwless houses; they had a purely
communal system Of government. and
some OF their customs would hardly
appeal to more civilized races. When

date OF his funeral was fixed without

way to get this mixture was to make

bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
