The Conquered SQuatter.
(Arkansaw TRAVELLED

tAfKanstlW lraYelefl
A well known engineer while en-
gagged in the survey of a railroad line
through wild and sparsely inhabi-
ted part of Arkansas, left the camp
one day to make as he termed it, a
social call on the natives. He sud-
denly ran upon a small clearing"
near the centre of which stood an UNI
pretentious habitation OF "daub" and
log. A raw-boned man emerged from
a patch of yellow bladed corn and ex-
claimed:
"HellO thar ~
"Good morning." said the engineer,
advancing. AS happened to be trans
acting peraDatetic business through
your community, l thought I'd call
around and see you"
The squatter looked at the engineer
critically for moment and replied

"What for"

"Well, if you must fight" replied
the engineer, 81 am with you, Come
on"
The two men "pranced" around
each other for a few moments, and
began pugiIistic lodges and devices.
The squatter possessed the old time
knock down theory, from which the
science of boxing evolved, but the en-
gineer was a man with all the mod
ern appliances. About the first thing
the squatter realized after the engage
ment opened was sudden jar, a gid
diness about the head and fall with
out having made any especial selec-
ton as to the place. He quickly
regained his feet, but as quickly went
down again.
"Hole on" he said. "Ain't thar
som" mistake here ?'
81 don't know" replied the engi-
neer. "Look around, and if you dis
cover an error, we'll endeavor to
correct it.
The squatter approached again, but
was again knocked down. "Say,
blamed if things amt gittin' sorter
tiresome ter me-"
YOU'D better rest awhile"
"Look here, amt yer one o. them
fellers what they read about 2"
"WeIl, not particularly "
