LASSOING WILD HORSES ON THE PLATTER IN OLD DAYS.

LINES INSPIRED ON WITNESSING THE PRAIRIED CHIEF CARESSING HIS BABY DAUGHTER LITTLE IRMA CODY.

Only a baby's fingers patting a brawny cheek,
Only a laughing dimple in the chin so soft and sleek,
Only a cooing babble, only a frightening tear,
But it makes a man birth brave and kind
To have them evernear.
The hand that seemed harsh and cruel,
Nerved by a righteous hate

As it cleft the heart of the Yellow Hand,
In revenge of Custer's fate,
Has the tender touch of a woman,
As, rifle and knife laid by,
He coos and tosses the baby,
Darling "apple of his eye."
