ALL IN ONE WORD
As the man and maid stroMed thru
the picture gallery, the woman
stopped before one of the exhibits.
“Oh, how sweet,” she breathed.
“I wonder what it means?” ques-
tioned the young fellow, as he eyed
the pictured pair who clung together
in an atttiude of love and longing.
“Oh, Charlie, don’t you see?"
chided the girl/ tenderly. “He has
just asked her to marry him and she
has consented. It’s lovely. What
does the artist call his picture?”
The young man leaned nearer and
eyed a label on the frame. “I see!”
he cried. “It’s printed on this card
here, ‘Sold!’ ”

THE SAGEBRUSH
The purple heather blossoms
On Scotlands rugged hills.
The cowslip and the primrose
By Englands murmuring rills.
Ere the trees in stern New England
Show the first faint tint of green,
Close hidden by their gnarled roots
The mayflower sweet is seen.
In the South the great magnolia
Perfumes all the balmy air
The daises in the dewey grass
Gleam in Northern meadows fair.
But in the widespread Westernlaijid
A newer favorite reigns
T’is the sturdy pale green sagebrush
That decks our sunny plains.
No. laughing brooklet mirrors it
While gently gliding past,
It needs no stately forest tree
To hide it from the blast.
It spreads its dainty leaves
Of lusterous soft gray green
Where oft for miles o’er rocks ana
sand
No other plant is seen.
In places it closely fringes
The fields of golden grain,
And sends its balmy fragrance
Through the sparkling summer rain.
In the forlorn Western graveyard
Its lonely watch it keeps
Where far from home and kindred
The tired prospector sleeps.
It laughs at drought and sandstorm
Neath the glowing Western skies,
When in the scorching summer
All other verdure dies.
When the cold winds of autumn
O’er hills and broad plains sweep
The pale green tint of autumn
The sagebrush still will keep.
If has all seasons for its own
O'er the sandy western plains,
The wild herds feed upon it
When no other plant remains
For when in depth of winter
All other plants are dead,
In defiance of the tempest
The sagebrush lifts its head.
It has no georgous coloring
To catch the wandering eye,
One searching for the beautiful
No doubt would pass it by
But flourishing in storm and sunshine
Over the land we love the best
Emblem of our sturdy people
Is the sagebrush of the west.
