MY HORSE AND P'

My horse and I are weary We've come long, long way We left the Texas border In the early month of May. The trails been long and lonely With many hills to climb Now wonder through the cotton
 woods
 A welcome light does shine. Back in old Montana
 My horse and I were born We have seen the Texas border The gaunt and lean long-horn. We palled the trail together Across the desert sand We've slept beneath the Texas
 stars
 And watched the Rio Grande. My horse has never failed me We are buddieS, he and I. We're back in old Montana And we will stay here till we
 die.

Just as old Cowboy
 Riding the range Beans and salt-pork
 Food is always the same. Five thousand COWS
 And never no milk Black coffee and biscuits Take hours to soak. No cream for my coffee
 And I never drink tea Old COW have pity
 On my old dog and me. I run in a critter
 And tied her up tight Got my tin-can, boys,
 How she did fight. I got some real milk, boys, Before she got free Soaked up four biscuits
 For my old dog and me. That old COW looks ugly She has reasons to be guess shes thinking
 Of my old dog and me.

THE BIG IRON-GRAY"

once was rider Quite headed for fame Knew many bad horses Knew them by name Give "Old Steamboat" his glory Old Rocket" his fame There now lives a pony That has never been named. When riding for horses
 In Nevada one day I run in a erd-lead
 By big iron-gray. Sound as a dollar
 Straight legged and tall His eyes showed much white
 His ears pointed and small. His hoofs were like ivory
 And harder than rock You could tell by his build
 He came from good stock. Plenty of action
 As he ran through the sand A killer of horses
 And a hater of man. He fought like demon
 He struck at the rope He'd kick at his shadow
 I was afraid he would choke. My saddle in place
 Cinched there to stay I was ready to mount
 That big gray. I got set in the saddle
 Pulled off the blind We left Mother Earth
 A new planet to find. A horse to jump higher
 VIII never De lOuIlQ He swapped ends in mid-air
 Before he came down. He sum- -fished and twisted
 Came down on his feet The peaks of the mountains
 Shone under my seat.  I raked him with spurs
 From shoulder to flank Like touching match
 To a gasoline tank. For beneath me
 He seemed to explode Here was a horse
 Who was going to unload bit my own tongue
 And I bled at the nose My body felt numb
 As if it were froze. I made a grab for leather
 Got a handful of mane He had turned on nothing
 And left me some change. He stood on his head
 And rolled like wheel He was too busy bucking
 To take time to squeal. The alkali dust
 It flew in my face He tore up the sage
 And went over the gate. The forty-fourth jump
 He ended my ride To stay on his deck
 I had everything tried. Talk of good riders
 And say what you may The devil can't ride
 That big iron-gray. I have all that's needed
 To write poem, This horse can buck harder
 Than the strawberry roan. Copyright 1888 A

"CHUCKWAGON LEFTY"

Chuckwagon Lefty, Was a cowboy, of course, Loved the creak of his saddle And the smell of his horse. High-heeled boots And a big Stetson hat Lean as a steer He would never get far. n-tanned face Told of range he'd rode He stood bow-legged And walked pigeon-toed. Never could read And can't write his name Brands on stray cattle All look the same. Broke many horse Roped many a COW Whipped out his gun And stopped many a row. The sage-brush and desert He calls it his home He rode the big -iron-gray And the strawberry y-roan. The cloud of sun in the old
 corral,
  Tramping hoof and a cowboys
 yell, A missing rope and a chucking
 grOan.
 Cowboy m cunts s a baldface
 roan. A creak of leather and ring of
 steel,
 Cowboy has his bronc to peal. Ride him cowboy and scratch
 him high, Don't pull leather-there is a
 reason why. len A. McMurchie

Muddy flood waters fed by sud- denly loosed glacier lakes" have spread the Taku River over a wide area and endangered the Polaris- Taku mining camp, according to word received here today.

standing example of spending ad- justed completely for each state from Washington. And more inn portant, every significant liberal law placed on the statute books, with Roosevelt approval, has a tendency to ignore purely state and local interests.
 For instance, take the Wagner labor act, and it's newer counter part, the wages and hours bills. Both are gradually superseding state supervision of the relations between employers and employees.
 The Presidents argument for na- tional thinking on national prob lems may be right or it may be wrong; Certainly the Federal gov- ernment was headed in that direc- tion for many years before FDR went to the White House. How far the process should go is an end less argument only time will an- swer. ~
 It is more significant just now, however, that the head of the na- ton is stating a complicated eco- homie theory for John Citizen in simpler, more understandable terms than John Citizen ever heard that theory discussed before.

 WASHINGTON. July, 2e.-Herei a trick to try sometime when VOL suddenly feel, the affable. stranger you've met at the cocktail bar i. entirely too interested in your busi- ness:
 l Switch from the cocktails he's drinking to straight whisky with g ginger ale chaser. Hold that gull of whisky under, your tongue anc let it slip back into the ginger ale glass as you swallow your chaser
 That may take practice but it's guaranteed to keep you from bab- bling a,
 It's a favorite in the bag of tricks that's stock in-trade with the in- ternational spies that are reported swarming the European capitols and spilling over on American soil
 They're the lightning bugs of the underworld: here they are, here they aren't, Their trail is picked up through something they've done But are they men or women, young or old2 Where do they live?
 s, They're much ;trickier lot to catch then the ordinary criminal because they're schooled in the secrecy that E is their most valued weapon Even after, they're caught investigators hesitate to tell how it was done because they may, need the secrets they've learned through that hunt in. the next one. But if you ask enough questions you may hear of such tricks as the whisky ginger ale one,, which .wasatold by an, American who knew spies were tralliile lliLl. tFsa lasi s'ifA sstsseaats
 oei Microphone in Fireplace g. Sometimes the spy's, victim never sees him. Consider the recent, small, very secret meeting of diplo- mats, in Europe. Weeks of yelled preparation were spent in getting them together in g. small town. in a private home. But the. spy world knew. The, trick was to. find out what the conversations were about. Two spies from 8 power that had not, been included arrived. in town, looked oyer the house, and decided there was no way to enter it. But they found a way to the roof of the house next door, jumped to the roof covering the, conference, and neatly dropped microphone down the chimney which, to their, delight, had a fireplace outlet into the con- terence room. l.1as snis ki-s fssa e.l
 But the favorite method of the spy is to find some natural .entree to the place that shields, military secrets That usually means "a dis guise of some kind, like the time the United States government was developing, new torpedo. A Euro pean power wanted to know about it, so they sent their kingpin of spies to America.
