position on his staff, to 60 west and
herd sheep at $40 a month but the
stockman said he was not hiring any
body at present.
"Have you all the spepherds you
require ?" asked Folsom Bower.
"No; I'm needing several, but I'm
going to wait till the President has
made his appointments"
What's that got to do with herd
ing sheep1"
"1t has a great deal to do with it.
As soon as Arthur has made his ap-
peintments I can have my pick OF dis
appointed applicants, who will be
wiling to hire for nothing but their
grub; just to get out Of the country" "

CURIOUS war OF COrR11Ne:

The 1900 Chcctaws still living in
their ancestral homes in Mississippi,
fetaio in their pristine vigor many Of
the usages Of their ancestors. Among
these are the methods employed in
conducting a csQeeship and the mar
riage ceremony. When a young
Choctaw sees 4 maiden Who pleascs
his fancy. he watches his chance until
he finds her alone. He then ap-
proaches within a few rods Of her and
gently casts pebble toward her, 50
that 1t may fall at her feet. He may
have to do this two OF three times h.
fore he attracts the maiden's attention.
If this pebble throwing is agreeable.
she soon makes i. manifest if other
wise; a scornful look and a decided
"ekwan" indicate that his suit is in
vain.
When MARRIAGES. agreed upon the
lovers appoint time and place tor
the ceremony. On the marriage day
the friends and relatives Of the pros:
pective couple meet at their respective
houses or villages and thence march
toward each other. When they arrive
near the marriage ground-generally
intermediate space between the two
yillages-they halt within about a
hundred yards OF each other: The
brothers Of the woman then 60 across
to the opposite party and bring for
ward the man and set him down on a
blanket spread upon the marriage
ground. The mans sisters then do
likewise by Eoing over and bringing
forward the maiden and seating hel
by the side Of the man. Sometime:
to furnish a little merriment for the
occasion, the woman is expected te
break loose and run. OF course, sh.
is pursued. captured and brough
back. .-.., -.....
All the parties assemble around tn,
happy couple. A bag of bread i
brought forward by the woman's re
latives and deposited neaf her. Ii
like manner the mans relatives brin5
forward bag of meat and deposit i
near him. The mans friends now be
gin to throw presents upon the heae
and shoulders OF the woman. These
presents are of any kind that the
donors choose to give. As soon a.
thrown they are quickly snatched of
by the woman's relatives and distri.
buted among themselves. During all
this time the couple sit very quietly
and demurely, not word spoken by
either. When all the presents have
been thrown and distributed, the
couple, now man and wife, arise, the
provisions from the bags are spread,
and, just as in civilized lite, the eere'
mony is rounded off with festival.
The festival over, the company dis
perse and the gallant groom conduct:
his bride TO his home, where they enter
upon the tolls and responsibilities -o
the future.--Natchez Democrat.

BOTH SCARED.

Last Sunday evening, a young attorney
of this city had occasion 10 visit Daven-
port for the purpose of attending church.
At the conclusion of the exercises he start
ed over the bridge for this side of the
river. The night was very dark and in adj
dition to the darkness, the wind was blow
ing perfect gale. As he traversed the
bridge, the young disciple of Blackstone
pictured in his own mind what an elegant
opportunity the place afforded for high
waymen to ply their calling. His reverie
was interrupted by the footsteps of
pedestrian who was following him. He
quickened his pace, but the pedestrian who
was behind him came on at such lively
rate that it was apparent that meeting
would take place. The meeting did actu-
ally occur in about the center of the main
bridge. The attorney stepped out to allow
the pedestrian to Pass him, and as he did
SO he noticed that the man had his hand
pulled back as if to strike a blow, which
he thought he could discover that the right
hand enclosed slug shot or some other
implement of death The young lawyer
made jump, and started for the Island
while the other person started in an OPP
posite direction. Finally they both stop.
ped, and explanations followed. The second
man had pipe which be was smoking.
