and hurl them into the intense and terrible
struggle with civilization and say to them
''work or die" was not performing our
Christiun duty. Senator Vest dis
claimed sertimentality, but from per
sOnal observation the condition of
the Indians in Montana had convinced him
that the best Indian was q dead Indian.
The condition of these Indians was a stain
upon our Christian civilization. We should
prepare them as quickly as possible for self
support, but in the meanwhile We ought to
keep them alive. Men who had never
handled spade could not be expected to be
sef-supporting all ct once. We were under
much more Christian obligation to these
heathens in our own territory than TO the
heathens in Asia and Africa, but no starving
Indian had ever been brought to realizing
sense Of Christianity.
Senator Dawes said if the heavy hand OF
the whiteman were taken off the Indian and

further debate Vests amendment to increase
the emergency fund from S25, coo to $50, 900
was agreed to-
The provision prohibiting the carrying of
intoxicating liquors into the Indian country
was stricken ont.
Senator Plumb hoped that the senate would
not agree to the proposition to strike ont
from the house bill the section authorizing
the president of the United States to nego-
tiate with the Creek, Seminole and Cherokee
Indians for the surrender of their remaining
rights in the so called Oklahoma lands.
Senator Vest did not think that the spirit
of the senate rule would exclude matter
germane to the appropriation bill, and
strongly urged the retention of the Oklahoma
clause. The provision was stricken out and
the bill passed. After the transaction of some
minor business, the senate adjourned.

For THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER.
 A CHAPTER ON IMAGINATION.
BY NED BUNTLlNE.

"June," the Cham1ion local editor oi the Catskill Range, having placed a copy of THE ARKANSAw TRAVELLER in my hands, l feel tempted " to send you a line, as the girl said when she wanted her beau to hang himself,
 devoured the contents of the paper with relish, all but that full page story about the Elixir of Death" It was as Frenchy as frogs on toast, garnished with garlic and smothered in sweet oil. The author should have signed himself Dumb-ass." The idea of man killing a sweet, young wife whom he loved, to get her life insurance of fifty thousand dollars. Bah an author should never imagine an improbable lie. If she had been old and ugly and partial to onions, he might have killed her for fifty cents if paid in advance. While skating rinks abound aud dudes exist, youth and beauty must not be killed off at pre- mium.
 Imagination is my "stock in trade, 1" and ought to know something of how the old thing works. can imagine I've been to Arkansaw, got boiled down in the Hot Springs, killed bear in a cane brake and COW in a fire hunt-had a duel with toothpicks for weapons and a handkerchief for dead line, but to have the elixir of death all made up and not a friend to reward or an enemy to punish that is too thinl Don't you think so 7 like your paper. It's Opis-ning col umns were hne-the more you had to Read the better it went, and the only fault was there wasn't enough in the batch.
 That there's music in your sole who that looks at your hgure-head can doubt You have lively place out there. Cab Maddox, a slender friend of mine who keeps the Orkney Springs in Virginia, went there and found 1t out He treads the light fantastic-or did, on the scales at a weight of three centuries and half. He went there to reduce his weight. He didl He saw six fights in twelve hours, and took a star part in three of them. He said he found bleeding Ktnsas with the Ark left out. He staid-till he had three bullets extracted and about two hundred stitches taken in his epidermis and then left in an ambulance. When he got home his weight was reduced a full century.
 He says he likes Virginia reels better than Rackensack breakdowns. He went there wild as . mad OK. He came away as meek as moody bovine.
 To come back from fact to fancy. Did you ever imagine that Bob lngersoll and De Witt Talmage could work in the same yoke2 They do and I can prove it. Keep, the millionaire shirt-maker, sup plies their linen and his @yoke" which both wear, is patented.

 What comfortable, home.like place. Mrs. Singleton was well situated. Her husband had, as a missionary, gone to Missouri, and had, report said, been killed by the savages. The congregation of Round Point church, in view of my valuable services during the campaign. gave me call. They proposed to give me my board, six pairs of home-knit socks, four pairs of bed-tick suspenders, two linsey vests, two pairs of flax drawers well, they proposed to set me up in business if would stay with them. Could man, even if he be a man of great self-restraint, shut his eyes against these tempting offers? No, impossible. l saw that the revival was my strong hold, so didn't allow the atmosphere to get cool, but immediately began another protracted meeting. The sinners poured in so fast that was fearful lest the crop should become exhausted, but shortly afterward learned with pleasure that the falling from grace percentage was very large in that neighborhood.
 Mrs. Singleton lost no opportunity of emptying kindness upon me. wondered why she did not marry again, for there were iu the country several preachers whose wives had just died. Why should not 1 marry her2 Then could kick of the home-kRit socks and tell the congre- gation that could afford something better. Then would not be compelled to wear trousers so woolly that all the cockle-burrs and Spanish needles in the country leaned toward them. Oh, it would be a great change. could fish and hunt, could ride around and be somebody.
 "Mrs. Singleton" one day remarked while she and l sat together at the din- ner table, "why is it that you have not married again ?"
 She brushed string of turnip greens from her mouth and looked at me. Her face wore an expression of strange emo- tion, but as l began to feel alarmed, she drank glass of butter-milk and said:
 "l did not marry at first because l was compelled to. Now am in better circumstances than l was then, so there is really no cause for my marrying"
 "Alack, Mrs. Singleton, that may be true, but you should be more regardful of peoples feelings"
 "Other people haven't so much regard for my feelings"
 "I have, Mrs. Singleton"
 "YouP"
 "Yes, Mrs. Singleton, love you"
 "Pass the bread"
 "Alack, l do."
 "Oh, let your viddults stop your mouth. !
 "That would be easy enough, madam but nothing could stop my love. Will you not give me few words of encour. agement know that am poor"
 So does everybody else"
