"reminiscences of an Overland Trip to Cali
fOrnia m 124I.

| "Reminiscences of an Overland Trip to Cali
fOrnia in 1S41.
The first incident was scare that we
had from party of Cheyenne Indians
just before we reached the Platte river,
about two weeks after we set out One
of our men, who CHANGED to be out hunt
ing, some distance from the company
! and behind us, suddenly appeared with
out mule, gun or pistol, and lacking
most of his clothes, and in great excite
ment reported that he had been sur
rounded by thousands of Indians The
company too, became excited, and Cap
tain Fitzpatrick tried, but with little
effect to control and pacify them.
Every man started his team into a run,
till the oxen, like the mules and horses,
were in full gallop Captain Fitz-
patrick went ahead and directed them
to follow and as fast as they came to
the bank of the river he put the wagons
in the form of hollow square and had
all the animals securely picketed
within.
After a while tho Indians came in
sight There were only forty of them,
but they were we'll mounted on horses,
and were evidently Il war party, for
they had no women except one med
ic;ne woman They came up and
campcd with n hundred yards Of US
on the river below. Fitzpatrick told us
that they would not have come in that
way if they were hostile. Our hunter
in his excitement said that there were
thousands of them. AMI that they had
robbed him of h S gun, mule and pistol
When the Indians had put up their
lodges Fitzpatr.c an1 John Gray, the
old hunter mentioned went out to
them and by signs ware N I1e to under
stand that the Indian Id not intend
to hurt the man or to take his mule or
gun, but that he was SO excited when
he saw them that they had to disarm
him to keep him from shooting tx rem;
they d not know what had become of
his pistol or of his clothes, which he
said they had torn of. They surren-
dered the mule and the gun, thus show
ing that they were friendly. They
proved to be Cheyenne Indians. Ever
afterwards that man went by the name
of Cheyenne fury.

euTrRcUas AND DAISIES,

Do you know how the tale Of the buttercup
Became the song Of the daisy,
AS they grew beside the meadow bars,
In the spring-tine soft and hazyf
Was there promise Of gold in the buttercupf
Was there promise Of snow in the daisyf
AS boy and girl came sitter the COWS,
John West and his playmate, Maziei
Wen name the cows" said Johnny West
f'Oh, so we will" said Maize;
yours shall be named for this buttercup,
And mine called after this daisy"
They fingered so oft By the pasture bars
That in after years a daisy
Would remind John Westof sunny haired girl
His blue-eyed playmate, Maize.
Ten years, and again by the meadow Dars
John West confessed to Maize;
81 would give all the gold of the buttercup
For the golden heart Of the daisy"
And thus the tale Of the buttercup
Became the song Of the daisy
As they kissed across the meadow oars,
John West and his sweetheart, Maize.
