The Arkansaw traveler. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1882-1???, 1888-11-17

travelled with circus ~ teAmster for
nearly twenty years before he finally
graduated ~ an OK driver for an Indi-
ana sawmill man. Charley was =
character, and, despite his eccentrici-
ties, was one Of the jolliest and most
entertaining men, In his way, have
ever met. He was an inimitable story
teller and could relate by the hour
humorous incidents OF his long and
somew hat eventfnl career a. q circus
man.
One day In midsummer Charley was
to take huge load OF lumber 70 the
county seat, some ten miles distant.
The sun was peeping over the eastern
hills rs he swung his team, three yoke
Of oxen drawing small lumber yard
on the log wagon, out OF the mill yard
into the main road. Hodge stood by,
and as Charley was climbing up onto
the load he said "Charley, now don't
60 or with that circus to-day. You
know Rice's shows In town." Charley
paused an instant and answered: "No
danger, Bob, I've had enough of cir
cusing. I'll DO home I'm time Cor sup
peri He drove of. That night about
ten o'clock the cattle came homo alone
and we saw no more Of Charley until
ons day late In November he walked
into the mill yard, where Hodge and
the hands were ct work. AS he came
mp, grip in hand, the boys staring at
him In silent smazement and wonder
ing what Bob would say 10 him, he
tossed the satchel on pile Of logs,
picked up the OK whip which lay on
the ground beside the wagon, and a.
coolly ~ though he had never been
absent, asked
"Bob, what log will I bring next?"
Hodge was Q keen lover OF the orig
inal or humorous and no little OF Q
wag himself. Taking his cue from
the eccentric Charley, he promptly
responded:
There's an eight-foot pumps stock
log over there In the boiler back o
Bosworth's; ! guess you may bring
that next"
Charley sung out "all right"
cracked his whip and away he went.

THE SAME PISTOL.

Sounds of mourning came from an
old log house on a hill. stopped
near the roadside at the foot of the
hill. Numerous people, seemingly
dressed in their Sunday clothes, stood
about the house. / stood under the
shelter Of the timber, lest my observa-
ton might be regarded as unfriendly
espionage, for mountain people, with
all their impulsive generosity, are Pc
culiar. Especially 80 is the East Ten
nesseean. A stranger who manifests
the slightest interest in the East Ten
nesseean's affairs is often looked upon
with inimical, and sometimes danger
GUS suspicion.
While I stood gazing at the scene q
weird song, q sort of fall-of- the year
chant, arose. knew that 1t was not
wholly service of religious devotion,
for at times the distressing wall Of q
woman would rise above the chant.
Suddenly heard a groan, and, looking
about, saw q man sitting on log.
His lace was buried in his hands. /
approached him. He looked up with
q start. His face, though young, was
haggard, and his large black eyes had
q hollowness of expression.
"What is going on up ut the housss"
asked.
"Dan Beasley's funeral" he replied.

FULL FIFTY YEARS.
BIT CHARLES EUGENE BANKS.

|
Full hfty years as man and wife
They travelled on together;
Between them net word of strife
In fair or cloudy weather.
Full fifty years thro' sun and storm,
With cares and griefs a-plenty,
But fourscore found their love as warm
And tender as at twenty.
They learned each others failings yet,
Meier halting to compare them,
Strove still with patience to forget
Or cheerfully to bear them.
The loving are the truly wise
And wisdom counsels grieving,
When tears of sorrow dimmed their eyes
They cleared them with believing.
Strong in that self-respecting pride
Which only is deserving
From duty never turned aside,
They kept her path answering.
AS dual tendrils intertwined
Will perish being parted,
Fen so. his day of life declined,
She followed broken. hearted.
One marble marks their resting place,
And, all their story telling,
"wen done," the simple words that grace
The stone above their dwelling.
A vine sprung from the hallowed ground
may 1t ne'er be blIghtedi
In death unites them monnd to mound,
As love in life united.
When swallows through the ether glide,'
Where mods the fragrant clover
The waving, scented clover
They sleep in quiet side by side,
Their tolls and trials over.
