FIFE Jf/LIEfRF CONTE<E.

The competitive military drill at Louis wife between the Crescent Rihes. of New Orleans; the Chiokasaw Guards. of Mem phis: the Porter Rifles. of Nashville. and the tluapaw Guards. of Little Rock. was the most exciting military performance that has taken place since the war. Taking into consideration age of organization. the Quapaw Guards arc the best drilled com pany in the United States. Their cour- age in eensen,ing to drill agains, three of the oldest companies in the country was commcndable. The fact tha, they only took fourth position. indeed proves that they are the fourth company in the United States. One year from now no company can excel 'hcm.
 at>t-ihursdas evening the people of Little Rock were excited beyond compari- son. The streets were crowocd with old and young. dcsirous of hearing the news. With an lmpatience born of intense in- terest. they stood around a bulletin board. Numerous pfivate dispatches had been received. and nearly every one was conf dent that the luapaws would either win the frs, or second prize. When finally the news came. many an enthusiastic heart sank. Governor Churchill. with his kindly face. mingled with the crowd. with an anxious. almost painful expression. as though he would gather from those who stood around some hope that the tele- graph wires had made mistake. No correction came. and the crowd. with a silence that does not characterize large assemblages. dispersed. One man. a leader in the temperance cause. remarked, Well. after all Il may be all right. for il the ouapaws had taken frs, or second prize. nearly everybody in this crowd would have been drunk. That dispatch was temperance document
 The Quapaws will yet come back GOV. cred with honor. They will stand high at Indianapolis.

Several weeks ago correspondent, of the New York .>HH wanted to know if hoop snakes really existed.

The .Snn' ; correspondent should have known that nearly every man. who. in regard to everything else may be truthful, is. in re- gard to the snakesquestion. unworthy of belief. From the time when the serpent slipped through crack in a board fence and entered the garden of Eden. the snake has been the basis of tall lying

How to endure the ho, weather IS a question that yearl. awakcns an inieres, in the south. The subiee, IS agitatcd until cool weather comes. when ot course. through lack of interest. ii IS put by until the sun again begins to strike from the shoulder of the solar system. Professor George Millgrass. of the Hobbngton. Ark. School of Science. gentleman of superior education. who has invented some fifteen summer hats. has taken up the sublect with an eamestness that puts he rubber stamp of sample copy" on every step he takes toward the solution of the grea, problem. The professor came to the office the other day. and knowing that We were personally and without prel- udloe interested in the warm weather question. proceeded to unfold new plan. You know. he said. "the Mexioans can stand ho, weather better than any people m the world. Why is this. 1 ask myself. Then. upon investigation. find that il Is because they eat SD much red pepper. am willing to bet my rcputa- ton as scientist that the failure of our people Ia eat pepper is what makes this weather so internally warm. cat pepper. See how cod am. and he mopped his reeking bald head with q handkerchief. " My plan" continued the professor. Is Ia cal about three pods of pepper at meal time. After few days the stuff does not burn so badly. but becomes pleasant. Another advantage is that it keeps mos quitocs away. 4 mosquito does no, want to souse his bill into a red pepper eater but once. The other night the mosqui- toes were powerfully bad at my house. When I went ,o bed. 1 found my wife madly fighting and skipping herself with kind of pow. -pangr When lay down. mosquito came across the room and hummed around. Finally he aiightc,i and sunk his shaft into me. Tearing his instrument from my flesh. he flew away with an italicized hum The pepper in my system had set him afire My wife. who is preludioed agains, pepper. fought her way. inch by inch. through the drowsy hours of night. but slcps unmolested When got up at morning. saw mos quito sitting on the wash-ssand rubbing his instrument against a damn ray. He foamed at the mouth. and seemed to be suffering greatly. pon examination found that the end of his hlll had been burnt oif. Perhaps 1 am keeping you from work. Good day"
 The professor plan IS no ,i...,bt worthy of trial.

kith and blood bring home with them the shekels which has been offered as a prize for the best soldiers of the hosts. When all of the hosts were come to the place called Louisville. and when the armies had gathered and marched in the pres ence of the rulers and phansees, the scribes of Little Rock did send back tidings of great joy. saying. - To. we will harvest the gold of the enemy. And then il came to pass that the elders of Little Rock bet their shekels. but when 1t was made known that the host from the kingdom called Arkansaw had been beaten. the elders were sorely aggrieved because their shekels were gone.

General Bate the democratic candidate for governor of Tennessee. is one of the most brilliant men in the south. How well the ~fi;eT remembers when in IS6I. Bate and his gallant company of young men Jeff Gallatin. Tennessee. 4 Inner company of men never shouldered arms. They left one Sunday afternoon. IL was day of mingled pleasure and sorrow: of smiles and tears. Mothers and sisters had gathered al a public hall and made the handsome uniforms. How many of them made shrouds. The young lady who joyously stitched the plush cap. did not know that it would so soon cover the up,urned face of her brother. ghastly and mangled in death. The barefoot boys that hung around and begged for scraps of bright colorcd goods with which 10 aeorn ,heir homely straw hats. did no, realize that their ex'remc youth kept them from the iron jaws of death. They thought l: WAS a shame that they were not permitted to go away and fight. How those boys yeaned for the battlefield. Many ot them. the writer among the num- Der. erected tents of old carpets and in- sisted upon sleeping in the back yard. Houses and beds were made for girls. None but a cruel father could disregard the .' halt of the sentinel. walk up to the tents. tear them down and say. You boys you can't set down."
 Inc bttercst time was the bright Sun day afternoon when Bates company left home. Thousands of people gathered a, the depot. old eolored women came around with baked chickens and pies Mothers fain,ed when ihe train started. The writer hlled with enthusiasm. and with red stripes down the legs cf his dirty linen trousers. exclaimed: Wish was old enough to go"
 What dc you want to go for:" asked a red headed. freckled face boy.
 To fight"
 To light. he repeated centemp,uous- ly. You wouldn't fight a toad
 This vas mortal insult. bu, the time for slaughter had not arrived No. you wouldn't fight sick cat"
 The insul,ed hero ventured to remark that the frcckled face boy WAS liar. The next moment there WAS a certain diffie uItv Tn standing up. The hero struck madly. but the insulter pounded him on the nose and ehoked him back agains, the station house. Tradition says that the hero yelled Probably he did. but didn't boy have right to cheer the troops.
 The beautiful uniforms never returned. At the close of the war few ragged men came back. half starved and miserable. The freekled face boy is now m congress.

NE publish in this issue of the ARKAN- SAW TRAVELLER . very interesting article from the Eles'aird Raiiscay Journal. in regard 10 the origin of Albert hkc's " Fine Arkansaw Gentleman" Several weeks ago we published the poem. with an introduction by Col F.. (. Boudinot. giving history of the circumstances that inspired the verses. The Ekfvak<d Raii- way Journal does not agree with Col. Boudinot but gives an entirely differen, version. Col. Boudino,. as an intimate friend of Pike. could not. il seems. make a mistake as to the poems origin. We hope that Col. Boudinot will give mers extended description of the songs firs' rendition.
