The Baby at Boulder Bar
Guy Fitch Phelps
Do you remember, Old Pal, Old Pal,
The Baby at Boulder bar?
That waa born of a wench as low as the beast,
With a soul that waa black aa tar;
That was born with never a prayer or priest.
As the spawn of the outcast are?
The kid waa a brat, let's tell it straight,
And the woman was red with crime;
And she played men's souls, as you throw the dice,
On the roulette wheels of time.
She'd cut your throat for an ounce of dust,
Or she'd drink you drunk for fun;
She'd snuff your light with a bowie't thrust,
Or bore you through with gun,
Then crack a Joke or treat the crowd,
At the thing which aha had done.
She'd bred with breeds aa low aa lice
on the purple ahorea of sin;
She'd hit the pipe in Barbery Coast,
And wallowed in China gin, ' '
And thafs the sort of a human loin
v That ushered the baby in.
But the hollow Cod made in a woman's breast.
Where a baby's head should lie,
la close, you know, to a woman's heart,
And near to a woman's eye;
And close enough to a woman's lip
To teach if a lullaby.
And all alone In her dirty hut '
She cuddled the baby tight;
And felt its Angers against her face
When she gave it suck in the night;'
And I swear by the ghost of Poker Ike
She awoke to a sense of right;
Then out of her window she tore the red
And hung op a strip of white. . r . .
The men of the Bar went one by one r -
To look at the tiny thing: -Then
Whiskey Bill, he aea to me, "
"Gee, Pard, but the Jade can sing!"
By the same sneak thought were stirred,
Yet not a mat confessed his guilt,
And no man said a word.
But the pull of the baby on each man's heart
Was steady and strong and hard. ,y
Well, the wench went dean as mountain drift.
And straight aa a brown bet flies, v,
And something aa soft aa summer dawn
Grew large in her happy eyes;
As pure aa the fall of twilight gold
From the sluices of western skies.
She was changed all right, and she lived all right,
And she died all right, I swearl
And every miner in Boulder Bar -
Waa glad that she went dead square;
And every miner was glad to see
The light on her face and hair;
So they made her grave where the arrowood
Waved white in the mountain air.
Well, the baby laughed and the baby played,
And the babe to a woman grew,
And never a miner said a word, N
And the Baby never knew
That her mother diced with the dice of death.
As the hussies of Hecate do.
And the child of the woman who diced with death,
' Was clean as a summer moon; x
As clean as the song the siskin sings
On a cloudless afternoon;
Aa clean aa the diea in twilight skies.
Which over the mountains swoon:
And I wonder if you know, Old Pal, Old Pal, .
'She's to marry a preacher soon ? , ' ;

Chilean Describes Americans
as he Sees Them ; Yanks
Found Good
SANTIAGO, Chile "Why I am
Yajikophile" is the subject of an art
icle contributed to Ultimas Noticias
by a Chilean who has visited the Unit
ed States. Some of the reasons he
gives for liking the United States are:
Because when a person falls down
nobody laughs.
When in the street a person steps
on anothers toes, they do not insult
each other.
The shopkeepers can leave their de
liveries on the doorstep.
People keep in line at ticket offices
and have respect for each .others place
in the line.
Everybody takes a bath.
People have only on surname.
There is profound respect for the
police. The public fears the police
and not the police the public.
The people know how to walk in
the streets, always passing to the
right and they do not stop to talk.
There is only 'first-class' on rail
road trains and special cart for
smokers.
Drunkards in that country are an
extinct species.
The name doesn't make the man,
but the man the name.
It is a sign of ill breeding not to
respect the opinions of others. (There
are two hundred religions in that
country).
Youths of 18 are in the universities
ana not in tne stock exchange or
saloons.
. Democracy co-exists with tha gov

not bashful about it.

FUR TRADE SEES
COMPETITION
Unprecedented Prices for
Whets Dealers' Desires
for Pelts
PRINC3 ALBERT, Saak., The bit
terest competition for fur trade in the
history of the Canadian northwest Is
raging this winter. Unprecedented
prices for fdrs is said to have brought
10,000 buyers to the western province?
and it is believed that hundreds of
fur agents have risked their lives to
work their way into wild northern reg.
ions where competition is not so keen
and where the trappers' prices aro not
so high.
Trappers are reaping the golden
harvest this year, it is claimed. Last
year, according to some fur men, the
trappers received only small advances
in prices for pelts, whereas the fur
dealers made tremendous profits. This
year, it Is said, conditions are re
versed. Trappers are demanding from
200 to 300 per cent more for their
furs than they did a year ago.
Farmers in this region have been
making considerable money hunting
wolves. They have taught their dogs
to ride in wagons or automobiles until
wolves are sighted. The fresh dogs
tnen Invariably corner the wolves
which are shot Coyote skins brought
aoout 5 before the war. This year
the average price Is $26. Muskrat
pelta sold for 26 cents a few years
ago. The price this year ranges from
12 to 3.

THERE Is a tremendous satis
faction to u In telling the
Liberty.
We know in advance the pleasant
things that are certain to happen.
In the first ten minutes of demon
stration, the Liberty reveals the
delightful difference. In the way It
rides and drives.
Its consistent performance there
after, and the admiration its beau
ty always arouses, are a constant
source of pleasure to the owner.
We feel that in distributing the
Liberty in this community we are
building a business that Is bound
to endure, because it Is based on
sustained and continuous satis
faction. llRELUfiB i hp;
