CHAPTER III.


There never was a more peaceable
man than John, except when one of
his spells came over him. His most
commendable trait, however, was an
industrial one. He was the best farm
hand l have ever seen, and he would
rather get up at morning and cook
breakfast than to lie in bed. This
suited me. One of my peculiarities
was my willingness to allow him to
do the cooking. My self denial in such
matters increased his respect for me.
We said no more of the Elkin boys
until one day, about month after the
fight, old man Elkin came over and
invited us to visit him. was not dis
posed to go, but John finally persuad-
ed me to accompany him. Alb and
Bill, meeting us at the gate, shook
hands with US as though we were old
friends. The old log house was scan
tily-even hurriedly furnished, but
everything was neat. Mrs. Elkin, an
old-time woman with hairy mole on
her face, added to the welcome that
had already been extended. While
we were sitting in the room, pleasant
ly talking of the friendship which had
sprung up between John and Alb upon
their first meeting, a young lady made
her appearance,
This is my daughter, Jack" said
old Elkin.
Jackl What name for such an at
tractive girl. She was not educated,
but her manners were agreeable and
there was about her an air of untaught
refinement which could not help but
admire. / saw Immediately that John
was impressed by her, and l noticed
with not very kind feeling either,
that she was disposed to smile upon
him with brightness which faded the
moment she looked at me. The old
man addressed his conversation to me,
thinking it a great compliment. no
doubt, but was more than willing to
surrender the larger part of the atten-
ton which he showed me.
"How do you like this countryp"
Jack asked as she bestowed upon John
one of her brightest smiles.
"First rate"
"You won't find much society
here"
"Oh, I'll find enough for my use. 1
am not much of a society man"
81 am glad to hear you say so, for 1
don't care nothin' for it, either"
'Do you like to readp" John asked.
Eyes, if the book is interestin'."
"Have you read many books?"
"Not so powerful many, but 1 have
read the Colt with three feet, or the
Bee that buzzed in the Fox Tail grass.
It's the finest thing 1 ever read. One
feller-I forgit his name-could kill
robbers as fast as they could come to
him. would love to meet such man
as that"
Eyes, such Teller ought to be the
governor of the state"
"Yes, l think So" she rejoined with
much fervor.
just then, while was interested in
the animated conversation, the old
man said to me:
"Did you ever eat 'coonp"
"No, sir"
"Oughter eat one. Best meat you
ever seed. was weakly sorter man
till eat coon, and then / got
strong"
l ventured the remark that eating
coon would make anyone strong.
That evening, as we were returning
home, John said to me:
"What do you think OF Jackp"
"She is very handsome"
81 think so. In fact, am in love
with her."

IT DID not need General Grants
testimony in the Fish case to con-
vince the public of his perfect integ-
rity in the matter Of the Grant 4
Ward failure. His desire to give his
testimony was perfectly compre-
hensive one, but the great mass Of
thinking people did not require it.
Ii Is possible that there do exist some
who will persist in connecting the
dying hero with the disgraceful deal
ings of the firm, but these evidently
are of the class which would accept
no evidence TO modify their own
opinion. General Grant may rest as
sured that the whole country main
tains its confidence in his perfec. hon.
esty. That unprincipled men used
his name to deceive the public is
clear, but that the General was not
aware of the swindling operations car
ried on under this cover is equally
clear. But IL was a satisfaction to the
stricken man TO tell his own story,
and the manner and time of its tell
ing constitute one Of the saddest pic
lures of the day. The fame of Grants
career will live i'm history long after
this cruel episode has been forgotten.

THE reluctance of some of the de-
partments of the general government
to seek information from other de-
partmepts is well illustrated by the
maps issued by the General Land
Office, which year after year repeat
errors which could easily be corrected
by reference to the work of the Geo
logical Survey. On some of the recent
and elaborate maps issued by this
Office a river is drawn through the
Navajo reservation, with most sys-
teInatic arrangement of tributaries,
that has ne existence, and from the
configuration of the country could not
possibly exist in the course given.
This is only one example out of many
where the Land Office maps are incor-
rect and those of the Geographical
Survey correct, yet the two bureaus
ar not separated by more than hun
bred yards. Must the Land Office re-
survey the Navajo reservation before
its maps and those Of the Indian De-
partment are made to conform to facts?
