A CHEYENNE INCIDENT.

! demmeo IN by Indians n Man Rushea
to an Clubhouse for Food.
A writer in The Forest and Stream
relates the experience of family be,
sieged by Cheyennes, in the course OF
which this incident occurred:
AT last the Indians stopped firing and
we could not get glimpse of them.
Caveniss said: well. old woman,
that was a close call; but l am hungry,
so get us something to eat"
"All the meat is in the milk house
except that piece on the table. and that
belongs to Dick. He has had nothing
to eat since yesterday, and he fights as
well on an empty stomach as you uns
do on a full one" replied Mrs. Caveniss,
smoking. ''Tll get you some coffee
and biscuit, though"
Marion said: 'Tll go and get meat.
1 guess the Injuns is gone"
Tige took off his big white hat and
put it before the open doof on stick
for reply. and a dozen bullets hit
around it in a second. do We want
to go out there, Bud?" he asked with .
woltish grin.
Il amt afraid to-" responded Ma,
rion, land can fix it so l won't get hit
neither
'All right, get the meat then" said
Mrs. c., ''but I'm afraid you'll get
shot, and we can't afford to lose man"
Marion, without reply, proceeded to
make up man with shirt, pair of
overalls and hat Then he unfoIded
bis plans to us. Tige was to shove out
cae dummy and draw the enemies fire.
CavenisS and We're to return it. and
Marion was to run to the milk house.
When he wanted to come back he was
to put his hand out so that we could
see it, and we were to go to firing while
he ran for the house. He took only a
butcher knife. We drew their fire by
exposing the dummy, and then we
went to cracking away at the smoke Of
the guns while he ran for the milk
house.
He got there without scratch; but
when his hand came up and we showed
the doll again Lo wouldn't shoot, and
when Marion started they made it very
for him. He had a steak In
one hand and a can of peaches in the
other, and when he got into the hous>
he said, with mortified expression ON
bis face, Il am shot in the hand" He
held up the peach can hand, and then
looked silly. One of the gentle red
men had put ball through the can,
not touching him at all, and when the
Juice ran into his hand he thought it
was Blood. We joked him little, but
Jaw he was mortified, and Mrs Cave
Mss proceeded to get dinner.

The fifth section of the Franchise
Committees report is an incomplete,
unsatisfactory. imperfect and ragged
requirement, such "a utterly fails to
meet the exigency and unworthy the
fabrication of men who assumes to
the wisdom of constitutions makers.
The course of the COnven-
ton indicates the want of courage to
do that which reason, right and neces-
sity demand.-Ndtches Democrat.
The Constitution thinkers who re-
ported on the franchise question in
serted clause that after 1896 all vOt-
crs must be able to read and under
stand the Constitution, and the COM
missioners or judges of the election
are to decide the question. We don't
see where this would be any improve
ment on ballOt-bOx stuffing.
The election officials would have
full control of elections. If they
didn't want fellow to vote they
would just say he didn't understand
the constitution, and that would set
tie the matter. All n fellow would
need to get an Office would I've to have
his friends appointed to hold the cleo

faction, in other words, to delegate to
partisan officers discretion which
can exercise in favor of their friends

A NEW VERSION OF roE's RAVEN.
NV . p1SKy WOODS BOY TO SUIT THE PRES
ENT TIMES.

ENT TIMES.
Once upon midnight dreary, while pondered
weak and weary
p,er n oun,nt and curious volume Of paper,
Pluck TO the very core,
suddenly heard a rapping as II some one was
gently tapping,
Tapping ut my chamber door.
Ills some thief perchance, muttered, working
at my window suffered
And barred rs armament Of yore.
20 with trembling steps advancing, which put
my fancy into prancing
Invent and opened wide the door;
Darkness there and nothing more.
Blu, the noise kept on increasing, like pig in
crack who wants releasing,
And was quite uneasy, ''shOre."
SO up got and grabbed my Colt s-gun, ued my
belt around my home-spun
And went to see as did before.
And as | opened up the shutter, with many
twist and many fiutter,
In there walked stately raven, black and hun
CRY and very poor.
Well. says l, dark bird, why came thee, this
late at night to mine abode?
Why have you not been here before?
do YOU come on evil HnSSlOns vi uV you NohS w
mock my vision,
Or can you come to some decision, to walk this
instant out my door?
Quoth the raven, "NEvERMoRE."
Are YOU from the hills of Carroll, or from the
empty oaken barrel
That used to stand down In the cellar,
In those days to come no more?
Or by George for that my name Is, II you don't
leave the way you came in
l will fill the room with gore
Quoth the raven, "NEvERMoRE."
II you are not visitor, from the past, or some
inquisitor,
Who In the devil are you,
Tell me, implOre?
Or if you wish your name unspoken, can you
give me some small token
OF why you came within my door?
And the raven nothing uttered not feather had
he fiuttered
And the only word he muttered,
Was that dread word, "NevermOre. "
Then, foul bird, asked, what want ye? All!
now think have thee
You are from the haven surely by the shore,
From that little town, Brookhaven, which claims
DOWN just such raven,
Whom to me seems quite bore.
But his curious criticisms and many far-fetched
witticisms
or the Convention now assembled on the legis-
lative floor,
l shall hear the last of "nevermOre. y
QuOth the raven, "NEvERMoRE."
And the raven with lanky talon, and no ink, nei-

Straightway scribbled, not in words of Ouida,
but simply this, "BROoKHAvEN LEADER y

Not a DemagOgue.

Daily ClariOn-Ledger.l
Judge Chrisman has made more
character than any other member of
the Convention, and the press is ring
ing in praise of his bold and manly
course. The following from the Wal
thall Warden is sample of the COM
pliments paid him:
Judge Chrisman is by far the ablest
speaker in the Convention. He is
bold and aggressive, striking right out
from the shoulder in way that be-
wilders the ordinary time serving pol
itician, who measures the effect of
every sentence and strikes out every
sentiment that he thinks calculated to
lose him vote. Judge Chrisman has
none of the elements of demagOgue.
He is plain, unpretentious and unas-
suming, yet with sturdy common
sense, profound thought and impress
sive delivery of solid Kings English.
He is Mississippi's greatest orator
unapprOacbed and unapprOachable.

Screw Worms.
A correspondent of the Southern
Live Stock Journal saws:

A correspondent of the Southern
Live Stock Journal says:
have had an extended experience
with screw worms in cattle, hogs,
mules and horses and have found two
things only that destroy them speedi-
ly, chlOrOform and calOmel. Have
tried crude carbolic acid and solu-
ton of Cresylic ointment, also pure
tincture of iodine, but neither have
any direct effect in killing the worms.
No matter what is used, constant
vigilance Is the only safeguard against
fresh batch of worms. The animal
should be examined certainly once,
better twice, each day. l think the
eggs require six hours after being de-
posted to hatch, and twenty four
hours thereafter are full grown worms
and have advanced considerably in
their ravages, running cattle almost
distracted.
The earlier they are treated after
the egg is deposited the better. Car
bolic acid will destroy the egg, but
not the Matched worm. Eggs scraped
of, even though not injured, will not
hatch. The animal heat seems neces-
sary to their Matching. They are the
greatest curse that has ever afflicted
the country and if an early frost does
not destroy the fly, it will put quie-
tus on stock raising in this country.

Isaiah L. Montgomery, the only ne
gro in the Constitutional Convention,
has shown himself to be a greater
statesman and patriot than large
part of the white members. In order
to secure harmony between the races
and place the elective franchise on a
safe and enduring basis, he expressed
himself in favor of both an education
al and property qualification, woman
suffrage and the Australian ballot,
though he said he knew by SO doing
thousands of his own race would be
disfranchised and the whites given a
clear majority of 10000 in the State.
